Good visit with a good friend...
Hello -
I had a very special 24 hour visit from my friend Amber Mae (Wallace) Christian this weekend. She came to Chicago in time for lunch on Saturday and stayed til about 1:30 p.m. today....we visited, we had lunch, we went shopping, we slammed a beer each, we went to the Wizard of Oz at the Chicago Theater, which was fabulous, we wandered the streets of Chicago trying to find any place that would sell food. The only open place in the theatre district that was open at 10:30 on a Saturday night was Subway! So disappointing....
We had a long train ride back to the apartment and then visited and had deep conversations about our memories together and about life and different experiences and the gifts of her children and special things we share....went to bed at 2 a.m., which is super late for me these days! Woke up and she made us breakfast!
Had a great visit again after breakfast and then she hit the road. It was the first one-on-one time that we have had for longer than a lunch here or there - and it was very refreshing, spiritually, energetically, any way....I was so glad she came...
The worst of the side effects were during Friday night when she wasn't here. There was the ever-enduring headache that almost got to nausea proportions by the end of the night on Saturday, and I didn't think I"d be able to stay up as long as I did, but hey, you can't tempt fate and waste time with friends just cause you don't feel good! I soldiered on and we had a blast...
It was such a good timing thing to have company because I have been feeling so darn lonely since Steve's been gone....and when you're lonely on top of feeling sick, it's not a good combination at all.
I was aware a few times on Saturday as I got more tired that I had difficulty with speaking - I don't know if I am just aware of it now and I wasn't before or if it's the MS, but I definitely notice it more now. I don't like it - and I think the more frustrated it makes me to form the words properly with my mouth, the harder it gets to do. ARGH!
Anyway, sometimes a visit can raise your soul up just a bit....I would love more visitors.....
love to you all...
