weird day

First thing, I learned of SCC's tragedy which had me broken hearted all day.  

I had a wonderful coffee talk with a friend, but we talked about some thought-provoking things.  

There was caffeine in the coffee that I had ordered de-caf.  I became pretty sick from that.  I just can't do caffeine on an empty stomach.

Then I heard about the tornado that struck north of here and we were under a watch as well.  I feel for the family of the one person killed, but thank God there wasn't more life lost.  That bottom picture is of what is left of a tractor trailer that blew across that field off of the Interstate.

My daughter had her continuation program from sixth grade!

We went out for a celebratory dinner, even though I still felt very odd from the caffeine.

I talked to a cousin to be sure she hadn't got tornadoed or anything.  It is always fun to talk to her.

Then I talked to a friend that I hadn't talked to for nearly a year.  She has been through some major life changes and had some real difficulties and heartbreaks since I last spoke to her.  Her most recent thing was being attacked by a 130 pound dog in a pet store.

She said some very kind things to me and it was good to talk to her.  We finally hung up about midnight and I went to bed.

It was a very life-filled day.  Life is full of ups and downs.  Good news and bad.  Grief and hope.  Friends, laughter and tears.  Encouraging and being encouraged.  

It was a weird day, but you all know how I feel about weird.
