(no subject)

Yesterday I was able to get caught up on a few things, oil change in the car, delivery of various stuff promised to my sister and mother and committee meeting in the cities. I stopped by P's house after the meeting. I'd missed her, we haven't had as much "alone time" together as I'd like....unfortunately, we didn't get any than either. She had to get ready for work and than spent some time not going. I was being a little pouty because I was really missing her. It's hard when you got this achey thing going on...I hate that feeling and I hate feeling so needy. I think I need to spend some time thinking about this needy feeling that I hate so much. Anyone have any suggestions? comments? It's just this nagging unsatisfactory feeling. I don't remember feeling as emotional as I've been feeling in the last 6 months or so...it's almost like I was either so busy or didn't care in the past and now it's all catching up with me, I hate it.

I did talk with a friend of mine from High School last night. She's really interesting, in high school she was on the boys football team, was "generous" with her affections with the boys and had a daughter our senior year of high school. She was in the advanced english classes with me and surprisingly did pretty good after high school. She attended training to become a HUC(Health Unit Coordinator). She's done pretty good staying in contact with me, at our 10 year high school reunion, she skipped out because she met the man she would marry and go on to have 2 more children. He worked at the hospital where she worked (that's how they met) and then went on to become a "cable guy". Sometime last year, he was installing cable for a woman and never went home again. She ends up divorced and her ex-husband recently married the woman whom he installed the cable for. WEIRD and full of drama... Although, I guess I had that same kind of drama a few years back too.

Speaking of drama, I also talked to the truck driving ex-boyfriend of mine from when I was 13. He's just one of the players of past drama, no longer drama. It's interesting to talk with him and see how he's telling me he lives his life. Apparently, he's selling his jeep and buying a helicopter.

Today is work and then the weekend starts for me. Saturday morning we're having breakfast with our local group of friends. P and I talked about spending time at the lake...R might come over on Sunday, P's got a shower to go to. Next week, I'll be working Monday and Tuesday because Wednesday we leave to go help my sister move to Indianapolis. She's starting seminary in the fall. I'm not ready for the fall to be here already.

So my life is boring but at least it's not crazy. I remind myself that really life is very good for me, I'm very fortunate. Although, I'm feeling itchy right now and I'm not sure why. Suggestions? Thoughts? Comments?

Gawd, have a little perspective would you? A little cheese with your wine, Zest!

This is really sad to me....
