12/30/09 Breakfast, NMarket, Em and Bobby

I woke up with a concern about my cold and some of the same symptoms I had before the H1N1 . I took as many healing nutrients as possible. Luke and I went out to breakfast which we usually don't do alone. We'll usually only have breakfast out with someone else. We've been talking about our young couple times and we went to La Peep just as a couple. It was great. The food is always good and also can be good for my diet. When I order right.

We had fun. We talked and people watched. A man came over to us. He complimented Luke--not just on his musical gifts to St Luke's but on his acting with my musical, " Ice Cream Dreams."

He said that he wished he could see the play again or that I'd do more writing. I felt . . well . . . very happy to hear it. Then, he said that he teaches a class for people in thier late 40's and early 50's who want to change careers. He thought I'd benefit. I smiled. I am changing directions in my life.

Luke drove me to work. Yay. Then, he picks me up which means that he helps me get my groceries into the car. When you have a handicap, the people who are willing to help you are very, very important. I love going to work on Sunday because Matt is there. He has become one of my very best friends. He gave me a Chirstmas card that said those sweet things. Matt and I love a lot of the same things--like the magical world of games like "The Sims, " and "Pet Society." We work together very well, and our conversations are always fun and interesting.

After work, Luke and I went for dinner at Em and Bobby's. Bobby made his chili--yummmy.

Emily and Brian were there with their kids and Emily's mom. Emily's mom is as warm and welcoming as she is. Very friendly.

After dinner. Bobby and Em sat around the great room and told stories and laughed.
