I visited my very good bestest friend for her birthday this weekend. Since she got married, she has lived somewhere down around East Jesus Georgia and I had never visited her there. We had planned to have a sleepover like we used to in our much younger days, eat birthday cake, cookie dough, Doritos, and watch old movies. It was about a 2-hour drive to her house, so I had a lot of time to listen to music, try not to think, and enjoy a lot of Georgia farmland. I am getting used to driving by myself for lack of any other choice, but also, I feel a bit more confident in my abilities to end up at least moderately in the vicinity of my destination. I hardly ever get anyplace correctly on the first try, but I am never fully lost. I am realizing maybe I am a complete and utter airhead with directions, GPS, maps, or nautical sextants of any kind, but I will make it there with usually a minimal amount of embarrassing turn arounds and fly-bys especially when told “you can’t miss it”. I most definitely will. I have also become aware I have no idea how far 600 or 400 feet is and I really need better verbal GPS directions without that judgmental tone telling me to make a u-turn. As far as the visit, we managed to eat an 1/8 of the junk food and fell asleep to old Friends episodes getting up a few times to pee and for me to take heartburn medication like all the kids do. Funny, I don’t remember that part of sleepovers. It was a lonely, dreary, rainy drive home but a good weekend with a good friend and her fam nonetheless. Falcons played today…and lost.
My current activities include, being lonely, eating too much fast food, not being able to sleep well, not being able to get interested in any tv show, sitting and staring, scrolling IG reels with favorites right now being a family that has monkeys and lots of other animals and funny stuff of any kind. Avoiding politics and news as best I can. Avoiding romantical or couple things. I am also still preparing for a kitchen floor restoration project and remembering how horrible I am at making big decisions of any kind.
