Last night I went out to dinner with my friend from a previous school.  I wanted to pay my half.  However, she wouldn't let me pay.  We went to a Thai restaurant on Main Street.  We got done eating early.  She wanted to go to a bar.  I wasn't up for that because I can't drink with my medication.  I really didn't want to get into the bar scene.  We ended up going to a bookstore instead.  I looked up information on the fibromyalgia.  I can't believe we stayed in there until about 10:30 just reading.  It was fun.  I was happy to be out of the house and not watching television.  Afterwards we went back to her house .  We sat in her driveway and probably talked for about an hour.  She asked me some pretty personal information which I was shocked that she asked me this.  I don't know why.  I answered but I feel weird that she asked me.  I haven't talked to her for quite some time.  It was nice to see her and talk to her again.  She told me that she doesn't have a lot of girlfriends that she connects with and she was glad that we were talking again. It was weird that we were at a loss of words Friday night and during dinner.  However, when we were back at her house in the driveway, it was like we were friends all over again.  It was wonderful going out with her, seeing her, and talking with her.  I really missed her.  I am glad that she is back from her vacation.  I only have a few more days until my surgery.  I am seriously considering calling up the doctor tomorrow and asking for the other two parts of my surgery to be done.  I still have to think long and hard about it today.  Today I am going to clean the house so tomorrow I can take it easy and rest.  I took my medicine last night .  Besides the fibromyalgia pain, I am feeling good, no great right now.  I hope this lasts for a long time this feeling.  Today, I feel like I am back, a mom, a wife, and myself.  I LOVE this feeling.
