Friday was a good day. First the trip for my radiation simulation. Then I went back home to pick up Foxy, get my swimsuit just in case, and headed to spend some time with my friend Jessica and the kids. I always look forward to being there because we have a tendency to laugh more in a couple hours than many people do in a whole week! LOL
Sandy, Sandy and Diane thought up the idea of going out to dinner at the Hearthstone in Muskegon and then to see Eat, Pray, Love on it's first night in the theaters. I had read the book and was looking forward to seeing the movie, especially since I enjoy Julia Roberts so much.
Jessica and I were chatting away and I totally lost track of the time. I had already been there 3 hours and needed to be leaving to take Foxy home, change clothes and get to the restaurant by 4:45. As I pulled out of Jessica's driveway, I called Sandy and discovered plans had changed. The movie was in our hometown theater so we were headed for the new Mexican restaurant again at 6:00 and to the movie at 7:15. Foxy and I had a little down time before I was to meet them.
Dinner was ok, the company was enjoyable and the movie was thought provoking just as the book was. There were several times I found myself emotionally reacting to her thoughts, her character's perceptions, and the glimpses of self-discovery. My thoughts centered more around dreams long ago abandoned, goals not achieved, plans cast aside for responsibilities, sacrifices made for love and support, and wrestling with this annoying disease. Where do I go from here? I don't really have a clue!
