Fell upon this rare beauty in the back corner of our yard

Do you often talk about other people’s lives, money, or other superficial things with your best friend?
Like 80% of our (43f) conversations revolve around those things mentioned above. Is that normal? I’m not sure if our friendship has always been like this but I’m at the point of being completely drained after our conversations. I value peace and solitude (self proclaimed introvert) and she values busyness and having lots of friends (who worship her.) Our priorities and values are now totally misaligned. She talks about her other friends and their lives to me so I often wonder what does she say about me to them? I have started sharing less over the last year.
I had a conversation with a colleague over the phone the other day and it was so refreshing to not chat about superficial shit. I’ve been obsessing over the end of this friendship and I think chatting with my coworker was an epiphany of sorts. My friend and I hung out for the first time in months last week with potential plans to hang again but I’m just not interested anymore. Now the question is do I have a conversation with her or let it fizzle? I am positive she has felt the shift too…

Window advice
We are having a top to bottom renovation. We have 12 windows and asked for a 6 grid design. Somehow, out of 12 windows, 7 showed up with the 4 grid design. Where they are putting the 4 grid windows makes zero sense, has no flow and most importantly was never discussed and approved. Our smallest windows (2) are about 22x34. Is that too small for a 6 grid? Can swapping out the sash be a quick fix? We told them they all need to be 6 but are waiting to hear back. Initially, he said the windows are too small for 6 but were not backing down. Who puts 4 on one side of the house and 6 on the other?
Attached are a few pics of the smallest windows and the current side of our house with windows vs what I wanted (AI). The smaller windows are up near the chimney. I understand is some cases the windows not being cohesive but I feel like this has got to be a mess up. Windows were made by MI. Thoughts?
