I haven't slept well the past couple of nights. I was anxious Monday night because I had to attend the luncheon for scholarship recipients on Tuesday, and I knew that I was expected to say a few words. I never fell fully asleep that night, edgy as I was. The luncheon actually went very well. The donors were kind and took a real interest in us. I'm very shy, but I made it through gracefully I believe.
I was extremely tired for the rest of the day but, being me, got a second wind in the evening and had trouble falling asleep, and then staying asleep. You know that old commercial "Gotta go gotta go gotta go right now?" Well, that was me last night, and it kept waking me up. The profound desire not to sleep in a puddle drove me out from under the covers, covers over which Randy and I kept fighting, and in which I didn't wish to swim.
It wasn't conducive to sleep.
Though tired, I made it through today rather well. A couple of my friends celebrated their anniversary tonight at my former home group, and I went to be with them. I haven't been to that meeting in over a year due to scheduling conflicts and, to be honest, a need to take a break from them. Being there gave me a chance to catch up with some friends who I haven't seen in a long time. These are people who I usually only came across at this particular meeting, and it was great to see them again. I'll probably continue to pop in every couple of weeks over the summer to visit with them some more. I also discovered that one of my favorite people in the program, Harold, is celebrating 28 years on Friday night, so I'm making it a point to go there, too. I just love this old guy. His son is in the program and, in fact, lives with my biological father's ex-wife, mother of the half-sisters I don't know. Small world. I don't hold that against him, though. Both father and son are kind, funny and intelligent. There are people in this life who touch you, and you may not even know why, but they do. Harold is one of those people for me.
I guess that's it, that's all that's going on. Oh, someone asked about the party my SIL called me about, the one with the "romance enhancers" for sale. That's not until July 11.
I'll be sure to fill you in when it happens.
*G*
