Last night we listened to “If we were vampires” on the way home, and the lyrics just messed me up. Don’t waste any days, any hours, any minutes…
It’s knowing that this can’t go on forever
Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone
Maybe we’ll get forty years together
But one day I’ll be gone or one day you’ll be gone
What a life. I’m sitting here just thinking about how grateful I am for all of the amazing things in my life (and even the shitty things, because those things have brought me closer to those I need). Man. We were lucky enough to get to Denver last weekend to see some amazing friends who we miss dearly. When people ask, “How was Denver? What did you see?” Im genuinely proud to say, I saw my friends and spent time with them. There were no grandiose tourist spots (although we went to many a location), but we all genuinely had a great time (although flying home Monday morning on my birthday was freaking terrible… and TSA stopped me for a mini bottle of Baileys that Court and I thought would go great in my morning coffee and searched EVERYTHING I had with me… I digress).
On Tuesday despite the fact that the restaurant we went to tainted Jill’s taco (truth), I got to hang with some of my favorite people. We’ve been sort of all over the place the past few months and I really needed my time with them. We need to get back into our swing of regular hang out sessions.
I was lucky enough to catch my best friend for a little while during the day Saturday, and even though we have a trip planned in two weeks, it was great to just reconnect. It’s funny that after 20+ years not a whole lot changes. We can really just pick up from anywhere, and everything is perfect. This is me praying that the roads are perfect in two weeks for our weekend to celebrate Lauren.
We spent my dad’s birthday out at the beach and invited my grandma, and I’m so glad we were able to see her. The holidays brought sort of a strange time in San Diego, where most of the city was worried about the flu (especially if you’re 93), and they just felt really disjointed. My Nonnu was in the hospital, and spent Christmas/Eve there and we are so thankful for the medical care he received while there, and for his continued health. Luckily, my Gram trusted the fact that we were all finally healthy 😂and we took advantage of that! She is so great. For someone who has been in San Diego for SO long, it is crazy to hear stories about all of these places we go to, and take her to, and what they were when her and my Papa were dating. To say we all enjoyed ourselves is an understatement.
And now, I sit here with my little sleepy family, watching Guy’s Grocery Game (not kidding) and slightly dreading (but not really) this upcoming work week. With all of these aforementioned people, I’ll get through anything.
people and things.
