Friends

My exhausting week ended in a very nice way. On Saturday, some friends came over and took me out to lunch. This is no small deal since they all live a good distance away, and besides the effort and time to get to my house, these days that costs a lot in gas.

It was great. Nothing fancy, just lunch, but it was great to see them again. It really jumpstarts my brain to sit with these guys and talk. I loved it. It was exhausting, but I sure do appreciate them coming over. It was fun and I think I’ve run out of adjectives.

Thanks guys, it was great.

I don’t keep in touch as much as I would like, and my current condition just makes my tendency to be a hermit that much worse. One of these days I’ll be able to make it to where they all live.

Thanks again, let’s do it again soon.

I don't think you used nearly enough adjectives (see Bulwer-Lytton).

Well, I wouldn't want to overwhelm anyone. Besides, I might break the purple-prose filter on blogger.

Let's not be confusing adjectives and adverbs. :-)

Lunch was great. It was simple. Simple can be good. I remember back when I was house-bound during chemotherapy the desire I had to be able to leave the house and get a quarter pounder. Nothing elaborate in that. It was just that I missed being able to do the ordinary, everyday things.

We will do this again, I promise.
