So spacey today. I didn’t go to my sistes, but I did go to the store to get her some stuff to take home with her. I took my friend with me, I just didn’t think it was a good idea to drive it alone. About half way through, my stomach let me know it was unhappy. We finished and headed home. My friend was glad for the ride. I was glad for her companionship.

Yesterday, this same friend texted me after I got home from Urgent Care, to tell me there was a surprise on my deck. I went out and there was a chair I’d been planning to buy from one of the little shops in town. With a card attached, telling me how glad she is we’ve become friends. What a sweet thing to do! It’s an early Christmas present. Apparently the guy whose chair it was, was about to pack it up and head north. A reverse snowbird maybe? Idk, all I know was it sure lifted my very deflated spirits after the treatment at the Urgent Care center. It’s an old fashioned, small chair with a cane seat, that I wanted for my bedroom.

The urgent care place keeps calling me to see if I’ve made an appointment for a CT scan. I want to just give them the finger. Instead of a CT scan, I went to the store, and got a quart of Tuscan Chicken Broth (made by Progresso) and that’s what I had for dinner. It’s really good, and very soothing. Would be very good to make chicken soup with. Time for another bowl. I’m so hoping I can pull myself together to go out with my sis and brother-in-law when they stop on their way to their house.

I’m thinking I have been burying emotions about this move, my son’s move. I always want to just barrel through the work. I’ve been here a little over a month, and had my car totaled and now this bug which has laid me up all week. I miss my son, I miss my people up north. I need to let myself do that, just grieve a little in peace and quiet. It will be easier once my sister is here. She will pull me under her wing, big sister that she is, and wrap me in the love I need right now.

All I know is…..love and light, everyone.
