BRIGSBY BEAR

Today I went with some friends to see the movie Brigsby Bear.  I knew nothing about it when I went.  It was a quirky and interesting movie.  Okay, I will admit I dozed off a few times.  I have not been sleeping well lately and those recliner seats are SO comfortable.

The movie is about a boy who spends his time watching a show called Brigsby Bear.  He is obsessed with the show.  Some things happen and he decides to make a movie about the show.  I don't want to give away any details.  It is odd and funny and touching.

It was good to hang out with friends in the afternoon.

Until tomorrow...

FINALLY INVOICED

I finally got around to invoicing my clients for the last three months.  I really have to figure out the block for why I hate invoicing so much.  Once I got it finished I was so happy.  I actually took a nap.

Until tomorrow...

GETTING READY FOR TRIP

I am getting ready to go on my trip.  I had to clean the house because the dog sitter is staying here.  I had to get my work done.  Of course there is laundry so I can pack.

I also had to get the guest room put back as a guest room.  I moved the TV and cable back in the room.  I moved my foster child's belongings into the garage.

Until tomorrow...

A TRIP TO THE EAST COAST?

I am planning a trip to go see my parents in Delaware.  I have this urge to get out of town and go visit someone familiar.  Unfortunately my friend S is traveling in the Northeast or I would go to Florida and see her.  I decided to see my mom because she will not talk about any topics I don't want to talk about.

A lot has changed over the last week and I need to spend some time contemplating what to do.  Going to a place where no one will bring up any topics I don't want to talk about is good. Sometimes I need a place to think.  Go to a beach and read a book.  Sit by a pool and think.

Until tomorrow...

FRIENDS AND GAME OF THRONES

My friends M and H invited me over to watch Game of Thrones.  It was fun to watch GOT with some other people.  This is season 6 and I have never watched GOT with another person in six seasons.  We got pizza and watched the show.

I find it interesting watching the show with folks who know so much about it.  They remember so many facts about the past episodes.  I would so lose a trivia game!

Until tomorrow...

LUNCH IN THE BACKYARD AND GREEN DAY

Today my friends G and J came over to spend time with me and have lunch.  We decided to spend the day in the backyard since it was very nice.  We walked down and got sandwiches and chips and drank some lemonade that I made.  It was a pleasant day.

Then in the evening I went to see Green Day.  I bought these tickets months ago.  I was so excited to go to this concert when I bought these tickets.  I love Green Day and I never saw them in concert.  Okay, I saw them more than 20 years ago when they played in the Gay Pride parade in San Francisco.  I loved them then and that is when I got hooked. The concert was great.  I was just not in the mood to be at a concert.  I was alone (which I have gone to concerts alone before and I don't mind it) but today it was depressing.  It has been a hard week. 

Until tomorrow...

LUNCH WITH FRIENDS

I had lunch with my friends M and H.  We went down the street to a local place.  I wasn't very hungry but I wanted the company so I happily went.  It was good to catch up with them.

Until tomorrow...

GRIEF

There are a lot of reasons that we grieve.  When someone passes on, we grieve.  When someone leaves our life through a divorce or break up, we grieve.  When someone stops being our friend, we grieve.  When someone is removed from our lives, we grieve.

Grief is individual.  Some people take a short time to grieve.  Some people cry. Some people get angry.  Some folks take a long time to grieve.  There is no right or wrong way to grieve.

It is not up to anyone to tell another person how or how long to grieve.  When a heart breaks, it breaks.

My heart is broken.

Until tomorrow...

SAD DAY

Sometimes life throws you a tough situation.  Things don't go as planned.  You get disappointed because people don't act the way you expect them to act or want them to act.

You have to make decisions you never thought you would have to make that will change your life forever.  It ends up being a sad day.

Until tomorrow...

MELISSA ETHERIDGE MISSED

I was supposed to go to see Melissa Etheridge tonight but I needed to stay home.  The life of a foster mom.  I was going to go with my friend S.  I gave her my ticket and she gave it to her new girlfriend. They had a nice time at the concert.  Don't fret for me.  I have seen Melissa Etheridge in concert a few times and once even met her backstage.  I will be fine.

Until tomorrow...
