Well, I managed to get through another 9/11 day of depression...I just slept all day long. I can't seem to handle dealing with turning on the t.v. or the radio or even the computer on that day, because it's all about the events of 9/11/01, and frankly I cannot keep reliving that each year. I wish I could say I were strong enough to deal with it, but I'm really not. So I just slept the day away. It's the only thing I could really do, I had no ability for anything more. I guess you could say I just took the day off and retreated from the rest of the world for awhile.
I'm still surrounded by boxes, some half empty, some still unopened, but I'm making my way through them little by little, and painting a bit too. Each room is a different color, I think I've gone pastel crazy or something, one room is denim blue, (the computer room that Pete and I are sharing), my bedroom is teal and brown, my kitchen is this gold/yellow color, and the living room is now sage green. My bathroom will be pink and black again I think, I just haven't painted it yet. So, it's been a long process of getting it all done, but it's getting close to being finished.
In only four short weeks from now, we will again be on the road to Michigan, for my friend David's wedding in Detroit. He's the home owner of where I lived in DC, and he's currently living in the Philippines until 2010 or 2011, but he met a woman there, a doctor, and is now getting married to her, but they are getting married in a synagogue in his hometown, which is Southfield, on October 12. He asked me to play my flute in the wedding, but as of right now, I have no music, and so I don't think that's going to happen. I need lots of practice, I'm rusty.
But, Pete and I are planning to drive up early on Saturday, get a hotel, and IF there is some kind of rehearsal dinner or something, we can be sure to attend. David hasn't answered me yet about that. The wedding is at 4 p.m. on Sunday so we'll be staying the night again and then driving back to Pittsburgh on Monday. I don't know if we'll have time to go across to Muskegon or not, but I will keep you posted on the schedule as it gets closer. I hope it's not too cold by then...who knows, maybe before we head back to Pittsburgh we might take a jaunt over there, to say hi for awhile.
Bye for now.
Love, Becky
