I don’t know what my deal is but I’m feeling a little hurt over a recent interaction with a friend group. One of the girls in our friend group from high school reached out in a group chat and said another friend was coming home to visit. This friend’s parents still live fairly close to where we all used to live. Everyone else has now moved to other places but still lives within drivable distance. I was the farthest away with about an hour and fifteen minutes. I invited them down here to the camp.

Oh well anyway. They all at first sounded like it was fine but then one said she didn’t think that was going to work. So then we were trying to come up with a different plan. I have never once minded driving all the way up there to see them but for whatever reason this time I was thinking why don’t we try to find a more central location? I suggested one that would be about the same distance drive for all of us. The difference this time is I’m not sentimental for the town or place we used to eat.

So I guess I am the one who changed. Two of the four of us never had kids and I have always just had my little life tucked away from them and most people. I showed them a picture of my giant cowboy hat floatation device that we could use if they came down here and heard nothing from anyone. I am going to get over it and I already am. I’m too busy trying to keep on moving on with life. I miss the kids who are gone and even the kids who are here. I’ve got ice cream if anyone wants it.

Tomorrow is supposed to be our ice cream day. Elianna asked what the deal is with the ice cream all of a sudden. I don’t even like ice cream. I told her it’s just something to do, I meant with them. And Dad picked up some more juice from Sam’s which makes me happy that several of them have already been used for people to drink. After a nap this afternoon I went to Ross to find a few things to put in my Tuesday office. I wanted trinkets for the shelves that would also hold up some books.

I found an hour glass, an elephant, and a sea shell. Josh asked if I was turning Hindu now because of the elephant. I said no it was just an elephant with bright colors that I liked. I ordered a picture of the brain from Amazon to go with something else I’d already ordered. Earlier in the day was a clean up/tidying day in the living room which got almost immediate use when the pastor of the week came over with his family. They played cars and trains on the floor until it was time to go to lunch.
