Despite not feeling at my best by the end of yesterday, I did manage to decide not to call her back then. I wouldn't have minded some company, but reminding myself that she brings a lot of baggage and overly high expectations of me did keep things in check. Probably if I hadn't had a nice encounter with an acquaintance last night I wouldn't have held onto those convictions.
I do have some empathy for her efforts to change her life, but I shouldn't be a part of it.
