My name in different ways

I ended up going to that fire pit I talked about in my last post, and it was nice.  I'm really grateful that this particular friend group seems to be collectively adopting a better attitude and outlook on life than they have in the past.  Everything was really positive.  I got to meet my friend's new boyfriend.  I'm excited for her because she's found dating to be challenging and I know that she would like to get married someday.  I really hope it works out for her.  Another acquaintance was there who I haven't really seen open up and be vulnerable in the way that she was, and it was nice to see that even though it sucks what she is going through.  I felt we bonded a little bit.  Another friend sang me a song that was just my name in different ways over and over again 😂.  I got to play with a cute doggy.  I chatted with another friend I hadn't seen in awhile about things and life, it was nice catching up with her.  She invited me to go to the botanical gardens with her, I might go.  I also saw that guy who was awkward about the hug a few weeks ago, if you've been reading my blog.  It didn't feel weird between us anymore so I'm happy for that.  His wife wasn't there, who I needed to talk to about something else but oh well.  I had a good time and it was cozy. 

Yesterday was extremely challenging in terms of work.  I ended up working three hours more than usual and could barely manage to step away for my doctor's appointment.  I was like working on my laptop in the waiting room because people would not leave me alone.  I need a vacation.  

I was able to get out in the evening though and go watch the sunset in the park with a couple of people from my church.  I got to know them a little better, which was cool.  They were younger men so very nephew energy.  I just asked them a bunch of questions about themselves, like what is your favorite ice cream/cookie combination haha.  They had fun answering my silly questions, it was really cute.

I'm planning to sleep in today and have a late start (if I can manage to fall back to sleep, that is). I want to try to have a chill day today, because I want to go volunteer at the rescue mission after work and I don't want to be totally drained when I go.  I hope you have an amazing day.
