Funny how things can change so quickly.
Some charges have been dropped on my friend and things are looking up for him. He has always been a bit erratic in his lifestyle-odd hours-not much structure. he has adult ADHD and can be really scattered. He said the detention center is some what like a casino-funny he used that analogy! For the first time in his life he has 3 meals a day, a hot shower and clean clothes. He has a private shower – a blessing for sure-and is free to go work out, watch TV play cards, read and he has the time to do it. I am able to mail him some books as long as they come from the source-I ordered self help and a Spanish-English dictionary so he can work on his English. He is fluent but has spelling issues and wants to take the time to improve himself. I (almost but not really) wish I had a break like that. He is also taking advantage of the medical there and is finally getting a through check up. I doubt he has had one in many many years.
I called my friend and talked to her. She seemed more at peace with what has happened and she was helpful and not hurtful and I am relieved. I hate to see anyone in pain, especially if I am the cause of it. I think she “gets it”-she couldn’t stop me and I alone am responsible for my actions.
I do plan on the Monday meeting.
I did some thrifting tonight and found a couple of items I picked up to sell that are quite valuable. I have a hand crafted piece if Italian pottery that is listed for $40. I paid $1.46~also some art prints for $8 that are listed for $60! now I just have to post and sell them.
After midnight-time for sleep.
