New Macro Camera - Old Photos

I recieved my new Macro Lenses from moment the other day. I am excited to go out for a walk and capture all manner of things - but it is going to be windy and gross outside, so I might be stuck in. To the left is a snapshot of a coniferous bush.

This new lens enables me to get back farther to take the photos which will be especially helpful with bugs! It's harder to find the sweet spot though. I also got the upgraded version of the macro I had before because the return/credit system was so good. I got 50 dollars apiece for sending in my old lenses. Considering they no longer work with my new phone, I thought that was a great deal.

I downloaded an app to help me sort through photos and it's been traumatic. Seeing myself happy, thinner, etc. But the worst was coming accross a card from flowers that were sent not long after a breakup. Cue crying at work. TRAUMA I had to close the app for fear of further emotional breakdowns.

I cut off a friend the other day. He and I had ups and downs and didn't see eye to eye on a lot of things, but I cared about him a lot. But too many times he said he would be there and we would hang out, etc, and then there would be nothing for days. I would get ready, excited for company, and he wouldn't contact me until the next day or days after. After the last time --- I was done. That kind of toxicity is just not something I can deal with over and over again. It's like being in an abusive relationship. Constant disappointment, apologies, and nothing ever changes as far as behavior goes. And yet he always said I was the one who sucked at communication.

I need some more friends. Universe please send some quirky and arty and lovable friends my way. Thank you.

Looking forward to some days off, puzzling, and maybe some sewing. We shall see. I borrowed a set of 5 novels that have to be finished in 9 days so there may be a lot of reading. So many things I think I want to do while at work that I don't get done on days off.

And maybe I will buy myself some flowers.
