This weekend
Friday E and R came out with Z to do some more prep work for the garage sale they were having in my garage. I put on my xm radio to listen to music while we worked. P later came with some wood that I asked her to pick up so that we could pull out the new fire bowl that I picked up a few months ago. After everyone else left P and I had a really nice time around the fire. We stayed up later than we should have and woke up earlier than we should have.
R, E and Z got here probably around 6a so they could open the sale at 7a. I was surprised at how well they did. I think it ended up being $300. R ended up selling a lot of stuff that I always thought were really who she was like her hat boxes, art, wonderful red lamp with black fringes and lots of picture frames. I hope she doesn't regret it. She's be going through this thing called "Landmark Forum" which I've heard about but didn't want to do because it sounds like a cult to me. I'm not going to tell her that, I'll support her in her choices, but seems too weird to me. This thing has led her to really let go of material stuff. Whatever, her deal and I still love her even if she seems like she's not thinking for herself right now. P went for a bike ride, worked on work and then eventually took a nap. I was glad about that because she needs to make sure she's healthy for her surgery on Monday (today). P and I left to go to what I thought was going to be a puzzle party with friends from church, yeah it was actually an intimate dinner party for 6. We ended up late (of course!) but the food was really wonderful. The one couple left and we stayed a little longer and enjoyed the conversation with the host/hostess. We came home and went right to sleep.
Sunday was new member Sunday, P was joining the church. We used to have 2 services, one at 9:30 and the next one at 11. I always went to 11 since it took me about an hour to get there. For whatever reason, I thought we were suppose to be there at 11 and so when I looked at the clock and it said 10, I told P we had to leave now. Then I realized, there was no way we were going to make it. Despite the fact that we always run late for things, we both hate it. We eventually got over it and got ready for her blood work an hour away. After that we got a call from J her good friend who came to Minnesota just to make sure she comes out of the surgery okay. (side note on J, they have been good friends for a really long time and J is likely going to be dying as she has chosen not to treat any more of her health problems ~ she's already had skin, breast and colon cancer and she's only 41!). We met up with them for dinner with J's niece and than back to the motel room for hot tubbing. I was glad to met J, P and her are so much a like, you can tell they've been friends forever. They use the same language and have the same mannerisms. We got home late which was our intention as P's surgery is not until after 2p and she couldn't eat after 2am and this way she'll be sleeping most of the day. I got up about 2 hours ago and caught up on my email and etc. I'll try and do some dishes, laundry and etc before I go wake her up. We'll go down there, she'll probably get out around dinner time and I'll say with her until I have to go home to go to sleep for work. Tuesday I'll be back for a few hours but it's going to include probably 3-4 hours of driving that day between work and going to the hospital. Wednesday will be a long day as I'll take off Thursdays to take her home (hopefully).
I'm off, hug all your loved ones today and be happy they are healthy. Send happy healing energy P's way, I'm sure she'll do fine but good energy always helps.

I had a friend who got into Landmark Forum several years ago, and it was really freaky. She was only about 22 or 23 at the time, still an undergrad. It was really expensive and, yes, very cultlike. She quit going after a while, and now when she looks back she sees how weird it was, although she says she did learn a lot. I remember there being a lot of pressure to bring people to an information session - kinda reminded me of Amway. We never agreed to go, because 1) it was freaky and 2) even if it was something we were interested in, we had no money to put into something like that, with 2 small children and one income!

P seems like she's going to be doing well, although I haven't talked to her yet this morning.
