Nick will be here tomorrow morning at 7:30. My family is getting here on Saturday or Sunday, I don't remember which. I am supposed to be sewing but I don't really feel like it. I have to bind this baby quilt (a gift for Kaina's teacher) and I'd like to finish Kaina's next quilt top, but eh whatever. I at least finished the quilting on her huge batik quilt, so that's a plus.
I will never understand why some people can't accept being friends with other people, as opposed to something romantic. If someone really means that much to me, I want them in my life period, whether as a friend or a lover. It's unimportant what role they play, just that they play one. Maybe I am more open or something, I don't know. But really, there are people out there that I would be devastated to lose, but I'm not interested in say, having their children. We all have our roles in each other's lives, and to just throw it all away because it's not the role we were hoping for seems like a waste. I guess I can understand the difficulty of unrequited love, but then again there are different forms of love...why can't the love I'm offering be sufficient? It's unconditional, it's enduring...it's just not romantic.
So I couldn't really handle this last season of ER. We're on Season 9. Weaver got pregnant, but then she miscarried. At work. And as if that wasn't bad enough, she tried to keep working until Abby made her go to OB. Then Abby's brother finally grew into being bi-polar. He had a break and went AWOL, then disappeared totally. I really had trouble watching it. Once he disappeared, their mom was going crazy too, and she wondered what to do. She's also bi-polar, but being that way herself she wasn't familiar with how to handle it when someone else has an episode. Abby said, "We don't get to do anything. We just get to wait." I guess I can manage that.
