My BFF is mad at me. She's my sister from another mother and father!
A couple weeks ago she said she was going to a new restaurant. It's above a hotel and it is in a dome-like structure that revolves. Anyway, one of her friends, who I've met a few times, is having her birthday celebration there. My BFF asked if I wanted to go. So at the time I said I would. I had no idea what kind of food was there, or the costs.
Here is the restaurant. It's the structure on the top of the building. This is a view from about where I live.
I had completely forgotten about the plans for tonight, so when my friend contacted me yesterday to say she was picking me up at 5:30 pm, I was confused. After she reminded me of the restaurant, I looked in Google for the menu to find out more.
OMG!!!!!!!!!
Once I saw that, I sent her a message saying that I wasn't going to go. Dinner for one person, without beverages, taxes or tip would be about $80.00!
Steaks are between $45 and $99 dollars! Yes, that's right! $99.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So now she's not talking to me because I backed out. She was going anyway before I was invited, and she's still going, so it's not like my not going has prevented her from going. But she's really upset.
I'm currently working reduced hours at work, so my monthly income is down by about $500.00, and I have to pay over a grand for rent, over $300 per month for cleaning help, medications. And I'm looking into a surgical procedure (gastric bypass) that will need to be done out of Province so I'll have to make several plane trips to another province for doctor visits; which will cost hundreds of dollars, if the surgery comes to pass. I explained that to her, but that didn't matter. She told me that "I shafted her." Which really hurt my feelings.
She lives at home with her Mom in a house that is paid for, so her only expense is her car payment. Her Mom buys the groceries and pays the utilities.
I love her to pieces, but she can be so self-centred and selfish at times.
Things will work themselves out; she just needs some time to cool off. And once she goes and spends $150.00 on a meal just for herself, and realizes that the food isn't all that great (based on reviews), she will come around. But in the meantime, I feel so guilty now for not going, and for her being angry with me.
