A friend of mine who is very ill moved back home to England and I wanted to send them a text they’ll get first thing. I hope today is a good day for them, I know it’s got to be hard. I miss them, but our healthcare system is so bad here they had to move home to get proper treatments without being bankrupt. I believe it may have been too late though and that breaks my heart in a million pieces. Update- haven’t heard back. I hope he’s okay! Another update- they are posting on Instagram and look okay. Very frail though. I don’t think they’re doing much communicating other than that. I’ve checked in with other friends and they’ve been keeping up via social media. I’m sending so many good thoughts!
Saw Squeeze and Psychedelic Furs at the Greek. Great show. Interesting to see rabid fans for each who have no fucks to give about the other band. It was oddly comforting to see an audience full of oldies like me!
We’re finally going to have a celebration of life for my boss. I’m not looking forward to it, but I’m hoping for s little closure. I’m not sure why, but his wife has a lot of anger directed towards the firm and I guess that extends to me. She quit taking our calls and responding to text messages. I wish her healing, but I’m done trying to reach out. I hope that doesn’t sound mean.
Celebration of life was nice. It was at a local country club, very fancy. I had a good time catching up with folks I haven seen in-person for a long time. The only members of my boss’s family who came was his son, who works with us. I can tell it’s a relief to him these things are over. We chatted a few times. He’s going to be okay. Has a bright future in front of him.
Work is still no fun. I am grateful I had so many great years there. I don’t plan on leaving for a bit, but I’m open to a change.
I saw The Marvels at the fancy movie theater. It was FUN. I don’t care what hateful people say, it was a good time. I don’t get why people can’t just go to the movies and enjoy themselves without going home afterwards, getting online and shitting all over the movie to everyone. People are mean.
The holidays have started, in fact today is Thanksgiving. I don’t have plans, although I was invited out. I decided to stay in and watch tv. I’m looking forward to starting a new year, I’ve had a lot of challenges this year and want it to be over.
I work tomorrow, but the office closes well before noon so it will be a short day. I think I’m the only one who is going in! It should be nice and quiet.
Sorry if this was a downer of a post. I’m watching the SNL vault channel so I’m actually having a good day. I’m also trying to figure out how to reconfigure my living room for the Christmas tree this weekend.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
