0818 friendship

I was bothered by something I said at Koinonia today, so I got up around 2am to clarify it. I soon found myself in an online discussion with Liz regarding it. We soon got around to talking about our friendship. I was reminded of a sticker that Ching recently sent to me in Facebook that said, “Good friends don’t let you do stupid things .... alone”. I wasn’t thinking about the general subject, but of the underlying tone. That good friends will stand with you no matter what happens.

I finished up around 4am and went to sleep. No sooner than the head hit the pillow, I could hear my father getting up to start the day. Fortunately, he left me alone but woke me up around 7am, to get ready for a doctor’s appointment.

I reminded him that the appointment wasn’t until tomorrow and it was only for lab tests. He verified this but had me get up anyways, in order to prepare for it.

This is the first time I had to study for a blood test.
