Okay. Feeling better today. As I knew I would.

I made a call yesterday morning to my friend, Paul, who immediately cheered me up. He's so full of energy and BOUNCE that I just knew he would do the trick.

and it worked.

and I feel much better.

Work was really really busy yesterday, which helped immensely, too, to get my mind off of my stupid little problems and concentrate on something else for a few hours.

I went home after work and pretty much didn't feel like doing anything constructive around the house, so I grabbed my book and headed for my deck swing.

I spent about an hour just reading.

Dave called me. He was on his way home and wanted me to come over to visit.

He was still an hour away, so I played some Pogo, which is something I have not done in a LONG time. It was fun.

I also finally got a chance to look at the wedding pictures that Jim gave me on disc.

Funny how many pictures my ex took of me.

Whatever.

Dave made it home, so I went over there with my bottle of Mudslide, however he already had a glass of SOMETHING waiting for me on the deck table.

He wouldn't tell me what it was. I just had to drink it.

Turns out it was 70 proof tea flavored vodka.

It turned me to mush in NO time at all.

So, we sat and gabbed.

Larry, the neighbor, came over for a while. He wanted to hear about Moondance.

Then Doug stopped by and had a few beers with us.

He is so funny. He is talking about the winter trips he wants to take. He says he wants ME to go where I want to, so we are planning a trip to Mexico.

Then Dave asks if I want to go on a trip with just HIM and I said yes. Doug interjects and says that, "Yeah!!! We'll go, just the FOUR of us!!!"

Obviously he didn't get what US means at all. Too funny!!!

Well, there's still lots of time for planning.

Dave and I talked about what was bothering me yesterday and why I could not call HIM to talk about it. I told him that since I really didn't know what was bothering me MYSELF, I could not handle all the questions that Dave would put forth to me. Which he DID, by the way, when I called him in the afternoon. I know he tried to help, but sometimes I just don't need all those questions fired at me.

So, I called Paul instead and Paul did not ask me a single question other than if he could help. And since he could not, we talked about other things, which is exactly what I needed at that moment.

Anyway, so I got a little tipsy last night due to the tea flavored vodka. And I went home around 11:00, stumbling across the yard to my house.

Okay, I didn't stumble, but I am pretty sure I didn't walk all that straight, either.

Made it to bed. Slept soundly until around 4:00 a.m. when a pretty big storm came through. Since I had to get up and go to the bathroom anyway, I closed all the windows in the house and, it being quiet again, fell back to sleep.

So, I got plenty of sleep, but I still did not want to get up this morning.

Imagine that!!!

But here I am. Ready to start the day and make the most of it.

But that does not mean I am NOT looking forward to weekend!!!

No plans.

Sounds perfect.
