Weekend Madness.
This weekend I had so much to do, and not enough time.
Friday morning I went to work not especially looking forward to my work day ahead of me since I knew Tycen would be having surgery in the afternoon. Glad hes being taken care of, but I never want to see anyone at my work. I made sure I was about to go upstairs and get him myself, carry him back to the operating room, and keep Thomas and his family informed. I held him while they put him to sleep, and I could honestly say I knew he was in good hands. The surgery was just a biopsy to take a sample of the tumor. That way they could find out specifically what type of tumor it was and how to go about giving him the best care. It was really hard having someone I know having surgery. Its nerve racking seeing a family I care about worrying. Again, working there everyday does not prepare you for this.
After work I felt pretty bleh but there was no way I was missing John Tran's going away party. I don't know how or why we ended up becoming such good friends, but we did. I'll contribute it to us both being such friendly people, and thinking so similarly. I can always count on John Tran if I need help, or just need someone to hang out with and keep me company. Hes always been there for me, especially when I felt like no one else was. I'm excited for him to start a new schooling adventure in LA, but I'm going to miss him.

Saturday John Carey had a get together for his Birthday. I was familiar with everyone at the party but a few friends of the past were there that I haven't spoken to in quite some time. I've since moved on and created a very fulfilling life with lots of new [amazing] friends, but I still always wonder. After John's party I went to Val's going away party [shes moving with John Tran]. Luckily it was like I was able to make up for not being in such a good mood on Friday after John Tran's party. A lot of the same people were there and I was even able to meet a few new faces. I had a great time and really needed the escape from reality. I'm going to miss Val's smiling face too but I know her and John Tran will take care of each other.

Sunday I tried to relax a bit. Stayed up too late the night before, and slept in till Sunday afternoon. Watched a lot of True Blood [I'm totally hooked on this show now] and just tried to unwind. Spent some quality time with Jonny which was really nice. Eventually I ended up at Anthony's [or more so Jonny's parents] house. What started as a small boardgame night turned into quiet a large hang out. Good seeing everyone, and again meeting some new faces. Its so calming to see how well everyone always gets along in this group of people. Love it. And I keep saying this, but I need more boardgames nights. I miss playing all my games! I even have new ones I haven't got a chance to play yet. Ahh!

All in all I had a pretty good weekend. I'm lucky to have awesome friends, and an wonderful boyfriend to keep me sane. Time to relax, eat some food, and watch some True Blood.
