Spent most of tonight on the phone with an old friend. He called me early this morning because he's on suicide watch. Sounds like he's got a seriously broken heart. It's a long story, and very sad because he's such a loving person. But it seems that the object of his affection has gradually pulled away and cut him out of their life. It's the same old story. I think he's figuring things out though, and getting himself together. People can be really harsh sometimes. I think I was helpful, though, so that felt good. It's hard to just listen. I kept catching myself interrupting with questions or things I wanted to say.
I haven't posted in a while. I'm just too busy for the most part. Faire's been great this year, especially the run at northern. Such a blast. I loved it to death, being out there a part of the community and playing with all of the visitors. Introducing Dana to everything's been a lot of fun too. Work's been full of change, perhaps the biggest is in store for the beginning of December when we go live with new business software. I expect most of my coworkers to not adapt well. But we'll get them through it somehow.
Mom's been through another surgery on Monday, unrelated to her prior issues. But she's come through very well, and things are looking good. She's just got another long recovery ahead of her. So much is happening, but I'm doing well. All my friends and collegues, family and girlfriend see to that. Time to snooze and read more Harry Potter.
