It was a good weekend surrounded by friends.
On Friday night I helped my sister move to a new apartment. Her old one was infested with scorpions. She's been stung more than anyone I know. She moved to a third floor apartment where they can't get her. Unfortunately that meant carrying her furniture up three floors. LOL.
I am grateful for my family, they know me like no one else ever will.
Later that night I had some absinthe and watched TV with the dog. My room mate has been out of town so the house is empty and clean. :) I relished the alone time. I was excited to find a Pixies concert to watch. It was even in Hi-Def. I cranked it up and danced around. I traded alcohol induced text messages with some friends. I was at ease with the world for a moment.
I am grateful for the things I enjoy. I am grateful that I've discovered my likes and interests. I'm not like anyone else and I don't question these things anymore. I just enjoy them.
Saturday morning I woke up late and had lunch with an old friend I hadn't seen in a long time. It was just great food and nice company. I went out that night with a few friends. We went to a dance club that was dead. We went to a few different places but nothing was really going on. We ended up at Denny's at 2 a.m. laughing and eating banana splits and fried cheese. :)
I am grateful for the friends that are close to me. I am grateful for their support and their acceptance.
Sunday night I went out for dinner with a ex-girlfriend from a long time ago. It was a simple joy to talk and laugh together. It was both a nod to the past and and acknowledgment that life changes. I was so happy to see her and realize that the pain of the past was long dead.
I am grateful for the challenges and the challengers of the past. I welcome the experiences, even if painful, to grow and discover through them.
