Aug.16/13 Another beautiful day

I awoke at a really reasonable time this morning. It was bright and sunny and quite a bit warmer. I love these kinds of days. I spent the morning getting myself ready for my volunteering up at the hospital. I had spent a large part of the evening talking with Kris as she really was going through a very rough and difficult time yesterday. She was really shedding uncontrollable tears about a lot of things. We talked and talked via FB about a lot of things affecting both her and I. We agreed to talk today by phone but the time we had set had to be changed by her as she needed to take care of some issues that needed to faced and dealt with. I have no real idea of what that might mean but hope when, if, we talked later tonight at the rescheduled time she might feel safe and comfortable enough to talk to me about it. I hope she feels safe enough with me but I'll just have to wait and see.

It is Summer Folk here in the Sound this weekend as well as some Tall Ships which I would have loved to attend and see. Both these events are very expensive and I just don't have the money to buy the tickets. So after dinner I hopped on my Scooter and headed downtown to see what I could see from a distance. The ships, not really that big, were very  impressive and one was really quite big. The music hadn't started at the festival but I will hear it loudly this evening when I head to bed. Last year I couldn't fall asleep until the concerts were over each night because they are so loud and across the water from my place. Some of the bands are really good but some of the more local bands are really quite bad but it's all good for the City Coffers so I'm certainly not one to complain. My brother and his wife always attend this weekend's events throughout each day. I bought a nice T-shirt though which is all I could affort but I love big T-shirts.  

lSo I'm back home with lots of time on my hands so will try to read and watch a little of the boob Tube. I'm even a little nervous that my friend just may surprise me and say she needs to break away from our friendship with all that is happening with her life right now. I hope not but will understand should she need to do this. I'm nervously awaiting to call her about 3hrs from now.....
