Perfect Timing

I just had to post this pic: my friend Di has been telling me that she got a birthday present for me, but she has had trouble because she got it off of ebay and it never showed, so she had to re-order it. All of this really got my curiosity up, but mostly I was just appreciative that she would go to so much trouble for me, regardless of the actual gift.

Well, Tuesday, I was home sick with a terrible headache and this package arrived.

I don’t know if you can see clearly enough, but that’s an AUTOGRAPHED picture of Lance Armstrong. It says, “Be strong. Lance Armstrong.” I’ve mentioned before how much inspiration I get from Armstrong, so you know how much this meant to me. The timing is impeccable. That’s the way it is with Di and me. Somehow we have this connection, and we can be miles apart, but she knows when I need a lift. We are soulmates, and sisterfriends.

I love you Di, Thanks!

Making it Better

I just got home from the hospital earlier today, and I’m exhausted, and my voice isn’t working, and I’m a little stressed because my brother is getting sick (it looks like he caught it from me), and I just wanted to say what a lucky woman I am!

The fact that I have friends who wanted to come and sit and talk with me, bring me food to replace the hospital garbage, fix me baskets of goodies, wear a dr.’s mask to see me but keep from making me sicker, watch a favorite tv show on a red and green striped tv screen to keep me company, cook my dad’s dinner, send me flowers and bring me smutty magazines, and keep me and my family in their thoughts and prayers will always always overshadow any lack of sleep, needle pricks, bad medicine, or other unpleasantness of this week.

Thank you.
You guys make my life so much better.
I love you all, but you know that :)
