Sleepy morning

Jan 19, 2008 07:20

My doctor put me on ambien to help me sleep. I sometimes have some apnea episodes now that I've gained more weight than I had lost before.  Sigh.  So I'm typing in my sleep now.

I'm on Alexis' computer.  It was just sitting here and available so I sat down and started snooping.  It's great fun.  Then I thought to myself,
"Are you snooping because of betrayals you've suffered in the past from others?  Do you not trust him?"  The answer is . . of course I trust him.  It's just fun.  I'm not in *his* files on this computer anyway.  Those are under his own logon.  I logged on as myself.  But still it makes me wonder why I sometimes feel like we really have a LOT more to learn about each other.  He's so much more private than I am even though lately I've been much more stay-at-home-flower-on-the-wall than he has.

Tonight I got a big shock and my head still feels funny from it.  I finally looked up a good friend I knew at Purdue, hoping to get back in touch with him.  I googled his name and got his obituary.  Bart died September 5, 2007 at the age of 37.  What the heck?  I hope to get a hold of a mutual friend soon for more details.  I certainly don't want to call his mom except to express my own grief and condolences.  He has a son, Jake, and the obituary asked that in lieu of flowers people send money to his education fund.  I'll certainly do that as soon as I can.  I think I'll get some photos of Bart I took at Purdue also and send those to his family.  He was a great guy.  Funny, smart, cute, and loyal.  I came out to him in school and he said, "Yeah, I thought you might be gay.  Cool.  More girls for me!"  I know I haven't seen him in years but I'm going to miss him all the same.
