I am home alone. Mom and Dad and Grandma are all gone to Milwaukee until tomorrow. Yeah!!! What a nice change. I don't think I have been home alone since before Dad got sick last year. I am not sure what I am going to do with all the time, but I did decide to blog.
Just to let everyone know - my cousin Zach is now at the subacute (sp?) unit at Mercy Medical Center. This is down the hall from the rehab unit where Dad was for the last month of his stay. Zach will move into the rehab unit as soon as his bones heal and he is able to do therapy which should be in about 2-3 weeks. Then he will be in rehab for at least 2 - 3 weeks.
Otherwise, not much else is new. Just waiting for the weather to warm up. My car finally went into the shop this past week, so I hope I get it back soon.
I just connected with an old friend who I hadn't talked to in 4 years. He found me on Facebook of all things. He is getting divorced and found out his mom has ovarian cancer. He is not having an easy time right now. My dad thought it was nice he was able to talk to me, but didn't think I should see him until he is divorced. This guy was my best friend for 5 years until he got married. Why shouldn't I see him when he is having problems? It is not like we are going to date or anything. WE ARE BEST FRIENDS!!! Is my dad just being overprotective? I don't know, but it is sure bugging me that he would even make the suggestion that I would even do anything like that.
That's all for now. Even though it is nice outside, I need to let the puppies in. They have had enough! See you all soon!

Your dad isn't insinuating that you would do anything. He is just telling you to be cautious because he might want to do something more than just being friends. Your dad is just looking out for your best interest. Not trying to bug you. Just think about what he said. And think about what might happen if you see each other. Not a good idea to see him until he is divorced. So he actually would follow through with the divorce. Not just to string you along.
It isn't bad communicating by email, on facebook, or by phone. But don't see him until he is divorced. If you do see him then all the feelings you had for him might come gushing back. Okay? Don't be mad. We are all just looking out for you. Just think about what could happen.
I agree with Jodie. Don't rush into anything. Emailing is fine but really wait until the divorce is final before you lunge into anything serious.
Divorces are the worst parts of some people's lives and it's good to be a supportive friend, but trust me - you don't want to get embroiled to deep into the divorce stuff. My parents split was MISERABLE and things went relatively smoothly.
You guys are right. It just left a big hole in me when he dropped me when he met her. I don't think I would do anything, but it was like losing my brother.
Just take your time, be a good friend. It's hard to be patient and restrain yourself but it'll work out in the end.
See you tomorrow!
