No Effort

I was talking to someone on the phone last week and we were having the moving conversation.  She and her husband are thinking about moving from Harrisburg.  Anyway she was asking how the kids are doing with the changes.  I told her really well.  I think they are making some friends who are good kids.  (I always worry they will make friends who are not good for them.)  She then asked how I was and I told her I was fine.  Which she knows is a cover up.  We talked about no having the energy to put in the effort to build relationships.  I feel like I put a ton of energy/effort into my relationships in Concord and most of them have fallen apart because we are now 45 minutes away.  I'm getting to know people, but don't think I will be calling them if something goes wrong or I don't see them dropping by for coffee.  I just don't know if I have the energy to put in the effort to build a relationship with someone who won't care in 6 months.  I will be happy with the good girlfriends who have stuck with me.
