It turned out to be a pretty good day, despite the fact that it started off pretty bad. Yesterday my friend wanted to be taken somewhere where we could walk around for today. And then early this morning I got an email from him saying that he was going to a memorial service for someone who passed away at 10AM. He didn't tell me about a memorial service yesterday. I called him before he went to the service and told him that I was shocked that he didn't tell me about it yesterday. He said that I didn't seem enthusiastic about going to the place he wanted to go today. Well, I have to say that he is correct about that. It always seems like for us to get together, I have to do all of the driving. I get sick of it sometimes. Plus putting the wear and tear on my car.
But we did get together later on in the day. He called me after the memorial service and went to a store near where I live (that was what he was going to do on Saturday). So I picked him up at the store and took him to my place to talk for a while. It was a pretty good time. It does not sound like much excitement, but it was right for me. After he left I felt sad and alone. Tonight my brother called and we didn't talk very long. He didn't seem like he was in a good mood. He and I never got along in our whole lives.
I feel a lot like what Just TV Troping said about wanting to cry but can't. That happens to me a lot, and I hate that.
