Emotional Week

This has been a good, but emotional week.  I've been busy driving around with my best friend as he looks at newer vehicles, as his truck is trying to die on him.  It's been very frustrating for him...and I can feel it coming off of him...which is never good.  Today, at least, we had a good time, only having to go to one dealership, and enjoyed test driving 2 different vehicles there.


Yesterday, I had to drive to MD, to take Shayna to a Dermatologist's appointment, and while we were there, we had to go to Preston, to the MD Veteran's Cemetery, where we visited JC's gravesite.  It was the first time that she and have been there since he was buried a little over 2 weeks ago.  It's still so difficult on Shayna, living without her best friend, and truly her rock.  She is still lost without him.  Truthfully, I miss him so very much as well.  It is still difficult for me to believe that he's gone.  I keep thinking that he'll call me out of the blue, or send me some crazy text message, just to make me laugh, and knowing that it won't ever happen again, still can make me tear up so quickly.  So, after all of the driving yesterday, and the grave visit, I was just so exhausted when I got home, to a house-full of people, and I just wasn't able to deal well, and just went to my room, and cried.  I had to be strong for Shayna all day, so it was the first time that I had a chance to shed my own tears and to put my emotions in perspective.


So, after dinner last night, I decided to ask Dan if I could borrow his camper for the night, while he was at work...thankfully, he said yes!  I stopped at Gilligan's for a couple of beers, an order of Potato Skins, met a nice man, and then went to the camper...so nice to have someplace just to myself!  It was blissfully quiet, and I was able to watch a full movie!  


When Dan got home this morning, he said that I must have gotten cold sometime in the night, as I had 3 blankets, and a comforter wrapped all around me, as I was in the fetal position, and all he could see was my nose!  LOL!  I think that's so funny!  The good news, is that after I watched all of The Phantom Of The Opera, I put in Memoirs of a Geisha, and too be very honest, I heard the first line..."A story like mine should never be told", and I don't remember the rest of the movie at all...I slept like an old man in church on Sunday!  I'm well rested, and that is always a good thing.


Have to do 2 jobs tomorrow, pick up Dan and his kids, bring them to the house, and spend the weekend with family.  Oh, and I have a date on Sunday afternoon...we'll see how it goes.  I'm a bit excited, especially as he asked a week in advance...which means that he appreciates that I am busy, and takes that into consideration!


Good night y'all...sleep well, and sweet dreams!
