a good week

Overall, this was a pretty good week.  I had a few ups and downs but managed to survive everything.  Yippee!

Wednesday, Halloween, I came home early from work because we were incredibly slow and there wasn't much point in my hanging around that day.  Besides, I'd gotten in 7 good hours there anyhow.  Stopped by the store on the way home to get the ingredients for the pumpkin curry soup we really like.  Got home and took Squirt out for a nice long walk.  I wanted to get him out before all the crazies started appearing after the sun went down.  Well, when we got back, I realized I needed a nap so we crawled into bed to snuggle.  Squirt, apparently, wasn't as tired as I was and kept getting out of bed and back into bed and moving around.  Needless to say the nap wasn't quite what I'd hoped for.  But when I finally got out of bed, I felt under an immense pressure for some reason.  Had several texts asking about plans for the night and I just didn't know what to do.  What can i say, I'm not the most spontaneous person in the world.  Anyway, the night ended up being fun.  Erin came over to hang out, hadn't seen her in ages.  Then Charles joined us later on and we all sat out on the porch til it just got too cold.  All in all a good evening!

Friday night we'd had plans with our friend Tim, but that didn't pan out.  In the meantime, Butch and Jack were going out to begin the weekend of Butch's birthday celebrations.  So, we ended up going to Fatz Cafe with them for dinner.  I, personally, enjoyed it.  My food was good and I'll go back.  Got home and Michael went straight to bed, as he'd not slept at all the night before.  I wasn't too far behind him either.  In bed by 11:30 on a Friday night....getting old!!!

Worked yesterday then found out that a friend of ours had a heart attack the day before.  That was hard to deal with because Michael was out at a function and I was home alone.  I just got really upset over it, naturally, but it was just hard to be here at home by myself trying to process it all.  Things like that make me very reflective and that's not always the best thing for me, especially when i'm alone.  But, we learned later on that Bruce is doing much better, out of a coma and knows where he was.  That's a great sign considering that noone performed cpr and the emt's didn't get to him for about 15 minutes.  Needless to say I was praying hard.

And now i've been getting things ready for a late lunch/early dinner with Jason and Frankie.  We haven't seen them in a while and are very much looking forward to their visit this afternoon.

All in all, a good week.  Praise be!!
