Thanks Pam! Sometimes we're weak and other times we're strong. But it's best to be there for our friends when we can - we never know when we'll need them to do the same for us.
Just talked to my friend. Son was released on bail to his parents home. He cannot leave except to go to school. He cannot associate with any of the friends he has been hanging around with. He must report to a probation officer. He has lost his licence for a long time - no one knows for sure - that will depend on his day in court.
So she is still going on her cruise with her daughter and her H will take the week off to babysit their son. I'm glad to hear this. Son will need rides to school, night school and coop. This will take much of their time away from work. I did offer to give him some rides as this is something I can do. He needs to graduate in order to get on track. I feel I should do this when I can.
The newspaper really sensationalized the story. I was hoping my friend would not see it. But she did. She is not happy about it but there is not much we can do. It was a bad thing all around.
The pedestrian who was hit is doing ok in hospital. The police say that the family holds no grudge. Man - I don't know if I would feel that way. But it did make my friend feel some better.
And that's the update on that situation.
Had a nice w/e in Toronto. We took Brandon out to a lovely restaurant downtown in the theatre district. As we were walking along, all dressed up (just Josh and I as we were about to meet Brandon), I am 99% sure I saw my ex and maggot drive by. I recognized both the car and my ex. I'll be he had to take maggot since she was left out last week when he took the kids out. Hmmm... I KNOW he saw me. On the arm of my handsome Josh! Ha!
Nice visit with Josh's family. I am quite comfortable with them. Made some time today after breakfast to go for a nice walk along the lake. Then headed out to Hamilton for my nephew's confirmation and dinner out with all my siblings, most nieces and nephews and my dad. It was fun!
I'm tired. My week looks busy and stressful. I'll be done work in 12 days. YEAH!
