Friday night I was planning on a quiet little evening with LiLu and Maxie. It has been a long week, that morning I had given an obscene amount of blood for testing and I was ready to stare in to the bottom of a glass.
Well, there I am, minding my own business, talking to the girls…and in walks Matt.
From New York.
I was speechless. This never happens. And then of course I got mad at them for making me emotional in public. It only lasted about 10 seconds, but there is no crying in public!
It was such a nice, unexpected, and thoughtful surprise. There aren’t words to really express how much it lightened my mood and how touched I truly was, so I won’t try. I will just say it was just what I needed.
The past few days have been full of thoughtful text messages and amazing dinners with old friends and lots of love. I feel like everything really will be fine, even if I am unsure of what lies ahead. I feel anxious, nervous, but finally back on a better course.
It has been a good few days for me.
Sometimes you need to be reminded that people love you, that things will be ok and life is carrying on. You need to drink your face off, dance late in to the night and scream in to a microphone in a dingy basement bar.
This weekend I was and I did and it was really fantastic.

I’m glad that your friends lifted your spirits. At times, it’s easy to forget that things will be okay, but life and loved ones always have a way of reminding us that life goes on. xoxo
