Z Day

A friend in need is a friend indeed. I'm still not sure that I understand this quote- does it mean a friend shows up in times of need? Or that a needy friend is a friend? lol. Anyways, I have found rescently that true friends are the ones who show up when you are in need of one. Real friends really care about you, and they express that to you. You know they care because you feel cared for. I have had too much going on lately that leads me to cutting out the clutter of anything else but real friends. I just can't hang with the drama of anything else right now. And for those people who have shown up for me, I am so grateful. Being physically alone in times of need and saddness can be very trying. I'm find with being alone normally. At times, when there is struggle, I wish there was someone around to lean on. All of my friends and family live far from me, so the words of love and care and support mean the world to me.

Some day I'm going to do fun and enjoyable things, with other people. It's gonna be good. It's good now, I just look forward to the days of friends, family and fun. I see friends and family now and have fun, but it only happens about every couple of months or longer.

Zeppelin and Petunia and I are going out to have a "Z Day"... doing lots of things that Zep loves. We're all ready for it. I've worked the past 7 days, today am off, then work a few more days until another day off. It's not much, but we have to make the most of it. We're heading to the river for a walk and a swim. Then to get some treats, I'll run a few errands, then maybe another stop somewhere that she likes. Then home, then something special for dinner- last night I cooked them steak, so we'll see what's for tonight. And a nap- she'll nap but I have too much to do today. I'm enjoying every moment with her, and taking lots of pictures (more than usual). She seems to be feeling pretty well. I'm worried about the heat of the summer coming, and if we stay here I'll have to buy another air conditioner to keep it cool inside. So.... we'll see................
