I’ve wanted to blog, but when there’s sooooo much going on in my brain I can’t do a single thing.
I have lunch with a co-ed multi-cultural group. We laugh sooo much sometimes I nearly pee on myself. On Friday we were talking about vitamins when Ram mentioned that he likes to take B12 shots…gives energy etc. I inquired more because if its that good I need that in my life stat! He went on to say that he gets them from his boyfriend. As a result of his boyfriends’ HIV status he needs them. My reaction was “wow”…then he said that he was HIV positive as well…..”wow”. We talked about this for awhile and his numbers are low enough that he does not need medication. I felt really grateful that medicine has progressed enough that being HIV does not have to mean it’s a death sentence.
It also made me wonder…are folx really STILL having unprotected secks???? SERIOUSLY??? I don’t think I updated ya’ll on this yet, but remember the girl that left her son with my friend and then went missing? Well she was found….her body that is. It seems that her boyfriend killed her because he discovered that she gave him HIV…speechless. Do you know of friends that are this careless with their bodies?? You might want to share this story.
I did the breast cancer walk on Sunday. On Sunday, the weather was cold, rainy and windy. WICKED. R picked up me and the girls. Before we left the house he kept wondering out loud if I would be warm enough. I had on leggings, two long sleeved tees, and my vest. He dropped us off at the registration booth so that he could go and park the car. We were outside a good 2 minutes when I cried aloud. It was FREEZING! I called his cell and we headed back to the house. We changed clothes and made it back without missing anything.
The walk was a little emotional. It felt great to be united with so many people for the same cause. We were doing a great thing. I plan to do the walk next year as well.
School is going well, but I’m feeling a little overwhelmed. I’m not even sure why.
Another guy in my lunch crew has been coping with his boyfriend’s cancer. This guy is only 24 years old. Yesterday he was rushed into emergency surgery, and it wasn’t looking good. I got word before I left work that he pulled through the surgery, but that his condition was still very critical. I’ve been praying hard for him.
Oy vie…what’s some good news??? The girls are doing great. They’ve had some moments of civility over the past few days. I’ve been putting some funk in my work wear dress…no pics…ya’ll ain’t ready…lol
I purchased a pair of grey shoes yesterday…I’ve had them in my thoughts for like 3 weeks. I’m glad that I waited…the price was sweeeet. They make me happy.
I’m starting to plan my holiday party.
I’ve had so many opportunities to witness in the past week or two. It’s been great…and I’m thankful to be used.
I’ll be making a trip to NC in January. I want to scope out my (potentially)new state in the winter season, and then I’ll visit again in April or May.
