Weekend Visits

We spent Saturday rummaging through all the thrift stores. We found one yard sale. And we had to go to the dollar store because I broke my sunglasses and needed new ones. I always buy them 2 at a time at the dollar store. Then it just doesn't matter when I lose or break them, they are easily replaced. I was on the hunt for cats, for a birthday gift. I did find a few. I didn't even know my friend actually already collected cats, I thought I was starting a collection for her. But it turns out she has quite the collection, so I just added to it. It rained off and on all day so I knew we wouldn't find many yard sales.


Sunday was chilly. We headed down to the city to deliver the birthday present and visit. We stopped in to see my father too. He was chipper as usual. When I hugged him he seemed so frail. I saw all my nephews, for once they were all home. And my great niece was there too. Of course I didn't bring my camera. We stayed at my friends for dinner. We had a lovely barbecue and a lovely visit. I didn't feel the usual anxiety of going down to the city. It didn't bother me at all this time. Strange. I did feel like a hick though. It seems I can wear certain clothes around here and think nothing of it, but get me in the city dressed like that and I feel like a bumpkin.

Life is still hell. It appears it will continue to be hell for at least another month. I don't know if I can stand it. I'm so depressed by all this I hardly spoke while we were out visiting. I wonder if anyone noticed how quiet I was.

When I woke up Monday it was snowing. It's been cold ever since. I knew spring wasn't here to stay. It's supposed to warm up again later in the week. I hope it doesn't hurt any of my flowers. I see another day snuggled in bed sleeping ahead of me. It passes the time. It makes my dismal days shorter. Oh I can't wait til this hell is over with. A month seems like an eternity.
