Second Guessing

This post was supposed to be introspective. When I started it, I was thinking that way.  I left it in drafts for a day and have changed my mind but not the title. I traveled into the office twice last week and twice again this week. It makes the job less fun, but it does help to focus sometimes. I can see coming into the office 2 or 3 days a week.

I finished my taxes this weekend. People around me are getting the vaccine right and left. 

Things are quiet lately, not much to discuss. Firefly is quickly undoing any progress she made. I am ignoring her. I told her I did not want to be involved in her actions. I think the situation will take care of itself, and not in a favorable way for her.

Firefly has been gone the majority of the past four days. In that time, she has gotten a ticket and in a second unrelated incident her mother received a call from the police concerning an incident she was involved in Yesterday.  Firefly declined to elaborate over text what it involved. My guess she was with her old boyfriend. I am going to call him Albino. 

Albino is in trouble for running from the police. He has several drug related offenses. Firefly and the Albino were probably running around selling Xanax and the cops tried pulling them over. Instead of stopping they probably ran. The only other thing I can think is that one of them overdosed and had to be brought back with Narcan. Either way, it doesn't look good for her.

If she makes it through these next few years, she will be in a giant hole. I've seen it before first hand. They don't learn, perhaps they can't at that age.

Billie refused to change. Sometimes I wonder if she has quit. In our last email exchange when I asked about her health, she sidesteped the question.
