I haven't slept well for the last part of the week. The funeral was Friday for one of my oldest childhood friends, and I managed to hold it together... for the most part. I teared up several times, but when I saw her younger sister start crying after the services graveside, I went to her, and that's when I started crying. I paid my respects, said goodbye to my friend.

I am so thankful to friends here and on Facebook who have checked in on me throughout the day. I'll respond to messages and voicemails tomorrow when I am more awake and able to respond to questions and add to topics. I had a very rough few days, a really tough yesterday, but a very comfortable, very relaxing evening. Thank you!

I need several hours of solid sleep, more evenings like the last few nights, and a recipe for sugar free brownies for my Dad's birthday. I have an idea where to get the latter. Now for the others. G'night-- or rather, g'morning!
