tickles my fancy?

Day 6: whatever tickles your fancy...what does that even mean!?

anyhoo, tomorrow is friday- thank God. It has been a HELL of a week and I will be happy to see it go. Just one more of these and joey will be home (thank God again!).

its been a long time since I've had such an awful week- I'm sure most of it is because joeys gone and i was sick the first half. (went to the doc, no answers so far)

The house is unbelievably lonely, quiet. BORING. Ive been using Netflix quite a bit more than usual! (just got done watching Julie/Julia and LOVE it)
I havent been cooking, seems no point in just cooking for one.

No major plans this weekend (surprised?). Friday..work, and then nothing. Saturday I'll probably see my mom and Brandy for a bit, then? nothing.

Except maybe hanging out with Neen and I sure hope so- I enjoyed our night last weekend; sitting on the porch drinking and smoking and talking about life. Pretty sure we sat out there for 4 hours. and it was so nice- just like the old days.


Its funny, my Dad used to always tell me that when I got older I would realize who my true friends are. And he was right- I'm realizing it more and more. Sometimes its hard, hurtful, sad. But thats life right?
In the midst of a bad day, vicky showed up with some scrum starbucks-- whatta gal huh? on top of staying with me Monday night so I wasnt TOO lonely!




Thank God for friends, they enrich your life so much- and I know I didn't even realize it until recently.
