I had to go out today and take care of a couple of things that needed attending to. Deby, thank you so much for running me around. Sure, I probably could have handled this on my own, but I so appreciate your support, and just being around another person really put me in a much better place today. You didn't judge me, you allowed me to cry when I needed to, and I felt strengthened. Thank you!
Jack was feeling much better by last night and was able to go to school today. He's apparently still feeling fine because he texted me when he got off the bus to ask if he could go to his friend's house. That makes my heart happy to see him doing typically little boy things and to know he has a close enough friend that he wants to go to his house so often.
I felt terrible yesterday because I had to cancel my appointment with my lawyer, but I didn't get through to them on time and they sent someone all the way here to pick me up. They were really good about it and not upset with me (at least not as far as I know!), and we were able to reschedule for this Friday.
Something has been bothering me, and I feel like I need to address it. A very close friend has admitted to me on the phone that she was almost afraid to say anything to me now and feels like she may have broken the "rules" I posted a couple days ago. PLEASE, if you care enough to even wonder that, you have NOT said anything or done anything to offend or upset me! That post was my way of venting and I was putting it all out there. It was not directed at anyone or anything. It was a random bit of information that I have come across, advice posted or given to me by others, and just purging everything I had building. It was truly not directed at anyone. Everyone who has reached out to me means so much to me, and I appreciate your support and intentions. Even if you did "break a rule," I see past it and see your heart and how much your support means to me more than any specific thing you may have said. So if I have worried anyone with that post, please just....don't! I thought about just deleting it, but this blog is about my feelings and what I may be going through on any given day, so for posterity I'm going to leave it there. Just please don't let it stop you from reaching out to me or worry you that you may have (or might in the future) said something wrong. If you did, I can promise you I don't remember it anyway, as nothing specific sticks in my mind of anyone saying something wrong to me (at least not from anyone that I will ever have any contact with again, and I'll leave that one alone now ;)).
Overall today was a pretty good day. I did cry a little bit less, and it felt good to get out and be with a friend. With that, I'll close with a random picture of Mike!

This was Mike reading to my niece, Marissa (one of my absolute favorite pictures of both of them).
