Back home!

This weekend was great. I am finally over the stupid bronchitis. I thought I was going to die earlier last week…okay so an over exaggeration but still my lungs were shot again. I finally broke down and went for my (lecture) meds from the doctor. Things are much better now.

Friday was a very rough day. Found out a friend of mine had committed suicide. It was awful. I had met him through a mutual friend, who was much closer with him. Red had found out on Wednesday that he had passed away. But on Friday afternoon still didn’t know from what. I think she suspected suicide…I didn’t. So when she said she thought the neighbors might know, I volunteered to take her and be her mouthpiece. We went and found out he hung himself. It was heart wrenching to see. She had been much closer with him than I knew. I stayed with her until she was ready for me to go and then I cried for 2 hours. How absolutely tormenting for her. I’ve asked all my friends to pray for her and his soul. I don’t know what else to do.

Saturday I decided to take a bike ride. I knew my lungs weren’t up for it, but figured whatever. And boy oh boy am I glad I did. I had the best time. I forgot how much I love all the people in my social group. It was great to catch up and feel the love. That ride helped me to make up my mind and go to the picnic on Sunday. Plus the bike ride helped to clear the lungs…hooray!

I was going to bring my Piotr to the picnic. I didn’t want to go alone. But then he had stuff to do, it seemed like queen of the social club wasn’t too thrilled with the last minute addition and well, after Saturday, I knew I’d have a great time. And, it all worked out well. I pissed off my Piotr. Not because I went without him but because I was gone for so long and didn’t check in after I said I would. So freaking irresponsible and unlike me. I suspect I’m just subconsciously holding him at arms length. He adores me, though and forgave me. Hahaha. Seriously, he did. Not sure I would have been so sweet.

Sunday I caught up on stuff around the house. Stupid garage door is broke…need to get that fixed. But, the yard looks fabulous…finally all the gardens have been attended to. And with the weather getting warmer, I know the grass cutting will go back to once a week or 10 days…Yipppeeee..

Life is good!  I cried that river, built a bridge and got over it!!!!  I'm back home!
