Last night around 6:00, I was ready to go to bed. I
contemplated what time would be acceptable for me to move my butt from the
couch to the queen size. I was one tired lady after all of the events of the
weekend.
As I watched – more like, just stared at – a special on HLN,
I started reflecting on the past few days. It was an eventful and strange
weekend all rolled into one. I realized that I was emotionally and physically
drained. No wonder my eyelids were so heavy.
It all began Friday evening when I was on my way to meet up
with some old and new friends – a very random group, which I love. It was
raining on and off for most of the day, and as I made my way west on the
interstate, my brakes went a little funky. I told myself they were just wet
from the rain and preceded to my weekend socializing. Out of sight, out of
mind. In the meantime, I learned from my parents that my Molly girl (the best
Carin Terrier in the world) had passed away. It was a lot to let soak in, and a
red BRAKE light popping up on my dash didn’t help one bit.
Saturday began with a long run to clear my mind. I was
feeling quite somber and… just plain sad. As I ran, I noticed millions of dogs
out and about. I was really missing Molly.
I drove my car to the store for some milk and realized that
it was not drive-able. Ugh. I made my way to the auto parts store to find out
that I need a brake line (whatever that is). I spent the afternoon waiting for
my car. Doot, doot, doot.
Saturday night was also filled with old and new friends. I
had some girlfriends in town from my old work, and we ventured to places that I
rarely visit. It was quite the night, and it left me feeling very tired and
sluggish on Sunday.
To top off all of the ‘out of the ordinary’ events, I went
to church Sunday morning to find an old neighbor in the pew behind me. We were
able to catch up, and I had a friend to sit by during the service. A very
unexpected – and good – surprise!
