I do dislike being a yoyo. Even when I’m on the ‘up’, I know the ‘down’ isn’t far behind. I really had a great time today with friends I love like family. Today has been a definite up – laughing and eating and just being with good people. Fun to just enjoy life for a change.
All in all, it’s been a week full of friends and good times. I’d like to think I could have another week like it soon. Even though I was really disappointed that the house Vickie and I looked at really wasn’t what I was hoping for, I can’t just curl up in a corner and give up.
Bob and Janice are leaving for Wyoming just as Mom and I get back from vacation. Janice asked me if I wanted to go… I can’t – but I would LOVE to. They are so much FUN. I know I can’t. I will ask tomorrow if it is possible, but I really don’t think so. But we’re talking about riding to Maggie Valley again this summer. We can do that in just a 3 or 4 day weekend.
Stopped to see Shirley on the way home and she was trying to be… difficult. “Must be nice to have friends to go places with” then she started in on she wanted to go somewhere today but none of her friends was available. I know she’s jealous, but I don’t know what to do for her. Or if it is even my job to ‘do for her.’ Then she started in on how she would rather die than be in the nursing home. I asked why she thought she was going to the nursing home and she said if she couldn’t walk she would have to. I don’t want to be pulled into her little power play, and so far today it hasn’t happened. I’ve still had a really good day. But I will be seeing her tomorrow. and I will be listening to her complain that she doesn’t go anywhere. Doesn’t see anyone. Doesn’t do anything. I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be her ‘best friend’. She’s too depressing.
