So today was one of the worst days I've had in....a while. It made me miss my Heather/Jess days. I met Jess when I first moved on base. She was the bubbly girl that was just so sweet and so polite that lived a couple of doors down. I could give you this big drawn out story of how we became the best of friends, but the truth is I'd be lying. I actually don't remember how the friendship grew to be as strong as it was. I look back and I can't really remember not being friends with her. I guess that's what instant connections are all about right? She's been with me through some of the hardest parts of my life so far. Held me through the tears and held my hand when my mom died and let me cry it out no matter what time it was or how random it was. Ahhhh true friendship. Anyway, none of this is the point.
We used to have Heather/Jess days. (That's what we called them because we're nerdy like that) We'd stay in pajamas and watch cartoon movies all morning long with her daughter Aubrey, and then as soon as aubrey went down for her nap it was time for what we liked to call "Mommy shows". In other words all of the shows that she tivo'd for us that were not appropriate for Aubrey. So there we were, hair ratty, eating our turkey and avocado sandwiches (because Jess makes the BEST turkey and avocado sandwiches!) making fun of each other and watching our mommy shows. And it didn't matter what either one of us was dealing with at the time, for those couple of hours all was forgotten and everything was that much easier to deal with. Yes. I could have definitely used a Heather/Jess day.
But no, she upped and moved to Japan...pirate hooker! (in the nicest sense of the words of course) I just really wanted my friend today....thank god for skype!
