Everything triggered a memory today. I was driving alone a lot tonight and almost everywhere I went I saw something from the past. I wasn't even trying to conjour up these memories or emotions, they just seemed to happen. Things popped into my head that I don't think I had even remembered before (make sense?). But, it was nice. It was like my brain was telling the rest of me stories that I had forgotten.
I also am a firm believer in fate. I've said it (millions of times) before, and I'll say it again. There are no accidents. Everything happens for a reason.
Well, tonight, I had a very genuine moment in the unlikiest of places. Jenny and I decided to go bother our little brothers on their night "out" at the Palatine/Fremd game. We were fairly anti-social... I saw the kids from work (Dan, Emma, Lauren, Mary) and Kaitlyn, but no one else that I was really interested in seeing. So, as I went down the ramp to meet Jenny underneath the bleachers, and ran into the VERY last person I would expect to see there.
Two words: Nora Heaton.
So, in an act that definitely must of flustered her new boy toy, we both immediately froze in astonishment before literally running and hugging each other. Mr. Chad Taylor may know the probability of this more accurately but the chances of ME being at a high school football game (for a total of 5 minutes) during the same exact 5 minutes as Nora, and just by "luck" crossing paths - but I'd say it's 1 in 23234324879. I missed her alot. That was a day-maker right there.
I carbo-loaded tonight - skittles, starbursts, goldfish (buffalo flavored), popcorn - lots of fine sugars for tomorrow's walk. It's only 5K... but it will definitely be a marathon.
Oh, I took Jenny on a field trip to the farm. No one was there, but I wasn't really planning on anyone being home. I just felt like being a stalker anyway, and I think she enjoyed herself.
I need to go to bed. And sleep.
