I wrote this post last Friday, the 15th, but for some reason it’s still in drafts – and not published, so I’m publishing it today!!
I had a really nice visit with two of my oldest friends today. We went to Spruce Grove (where we grew up and one of us still lives) and went for a 5K walk through the partica – park (a park that has been there since we were kids). We talked and laughed and reminisced about the “good old days” – lol. From there we got some sandwiches at a coffee shop and went to my friend’s house for lunch. Then we all piled into her car and we drove out to her cabin. I haven’t been out there yet, even though we always talk about just the three of us staying out there together. Hopefully we actually follow through one of these times. We always have these ideas and talks about the things that we should do together, but we tend to suck at actually following through. Whether it’s for a sleepover, another walk or just coffee, hopefully we don’t let too much time pass prior to seeing each other again. It’s sad how often we’ve been going between visits. I know we’re all busy with our families and whatnot, but we need to prioritize our time together more. I think it was especially nice for the one of us who’s been struggling with depression recently. It’s too easy to become isolated and alone, which doesn’t help at all! So hopefully reconnecting today helped her a bit. I sure miss these ladies. I’m so blessed to have them, as best friends. 

Once I got home, I had an hour nap and then had to leave to pick up my middle daughter from camp. I was kind of worried about what was going to happen about the whole LIT thing. I was probably more worried than her – lol. Last year she tried to act like she was “cool” about the whole situation, but it had to be hard when her best friend became an LIT and she didn’t. This summer to make things “fair” they’re giving different girls a chance by only having them out for one week, so that more of them can see what it’s like to be an LIT. The only thing is, her best friend and another girl get to go to ALL of the camps and all the others get to go for only one camp. This seems like a bit of a contradiction to the whole “we thought it’d be fair” thing, but my daughter is happy that she gets to do it, even if it’s just for one camp, so I won’t say anything to anyone about it. It’s not necessary. She’ll have fun, she’s happy and that’s all that is important to me. So, I guess we just see how it plays out and hope that their alternating people idea works for them. 

I didn’t fall asleep last night until around 3:30am and I had to wake up at 7:30am and I had a long, busy day. I’m so so tired and ready for bed. So night night for now!!
