Positive developments? #2

Great weekend, had a gig with my band Saturday night and then church and football all day Sunday. Also got a lot of work done for my 2nd job. I enjoy it, but don't really have a day off or weekend any more.

I have some pretty bad canker sores, which only come when I'm really stressed. It's been a while, really since I was in school. I use some medicine every morning but they're bugging me. Still, stressed out and too much work is a very nice change from the past year.

Talked to W a bit yesterday, she's excited about the new Palm Pre on Verizon. I went by a Verizon store after work to check it out, and called her. Phones are fun for us.

Had a great band practice, the best yet, then called her. She sounded withdrawn and quiet immediately. I asked if she was tired, then tried to chit-chat for a little while, and finally she said "my B and SIL had a miscarriage today, so I'm very down about that." I told her I'm really sorry, hoped she'd have a good night, and let her go.

It's tough. Her brother is not a fan of me right now. Also bothers me that W, in the midst of her health and financial problems, still gets sucked into the family stuff. Her brother makes a ton of money and already has one kid. Yeah, this tough, but compared to her? It's like she carries the world on her shoulders for everyone else, and they just expect it and take it for granted. I did once as well.
