Good was had this weekend. I went to Dickens on Sat by myself and without any agenda other than seeing a friend on a show since I have missed his performance in years past.

I managed to actually get out of the house in a reasonable time which is a big deal lately when I am not attaching myself to others. I even brought a book in case I found down time when I was bored. I talked to a lot of people I know. In the past I have felt left out because I know so many people working Dickens and they talk to me in character and I am not a part of their world. This year, it didn’t hit me like that. I spent a lot of time hanging out at Mad Sals where the people I know the best work. I found out later of the score of people that were coming to Dickens on Sunday and I am sort of sad I didn’t switch days to go. But I am pleased with what I did and what I learned. I need to learn to do thing independently again and get my own value out of events.

After Dickens, I went to visit friend from my early days in California. Turns out he and his wife don’t do anything for Dec 25th and are up to just getting together to hang out. Woot! I have something non-chrismassy to do on that day.

Paid for all this on Sunday. That just is the way my life is right now.

This morning I found some little flowers on my car windshield. I think someone was walking along and had some flowers from along their walk and saw my car. They liked it and so put the flowers on the windshield. It was a nice feeling when I saw them. At work, I parked next to another Xb. I kept one flower and put the rest on their windshield because I like their license plate, XBOXROX.
