Today

Today was Jade's actual birthday, so Betsy took the day off, Jazmine and Jade left school early and we all spent the day shopping. I don't think I have ever been to so many stores in one day before. We left the house at a little after ten this morning and just got home about half an hour ago. The company was delightful, but my feet and back are sore from all the walking and standing. I really wore the wrong socks. They did have a cool place in Meadowwood Mall with comfy chairs and couches where I sat and read my book for awhile. Jade had soccer practice at 4:30, so to kill some time, Betsy drove me around some of the neighborhoods in Sparks where I might want to live and that was fun for me. We had lunch at a sport's bar called Bully's and dinner at Jack in the Box before we met David and went to see He's Just Not that into You. I found the movie both pathetic and really sad. I had a hard time stopping the tears and I figure it is due to the fact that I am over tired and so far away from being in love with someone that it is just too depressing to watch movies like that. It reminds me that for the last nine years my best friend has been a homeless man, the only person on earth I have ever felt really got me and despite the fact that I have known for a long time we have no chance of any future together as a couple, I really miss him. He can always make me laugh which I could really use right now. I am going to write in my gratitude journal right now which always makes me feel better, then go to bed. Tomorrow is another day, I hope the sun is out like it was today, shining and simply beautiful.
