Sad in A Day in the Life of Me

Woke to the news that a good friend passed in the night.
We’re heartbroken. His poor sweet wife.
He was a wonderful, warm, loving man and didn’t deserve that hand life dealt him.
Always a smile, and laugh. Never a bad word for anyone. Quiet, but once you knew him, he was an open book, and so loveable.
He has been ill for a while after suffering a heart attack a few years ago. Came down with everything under the sun that he could while in hospital. Then things started to look good for him, he was up walking again, and able to drive, though he still had to take it easy, as he tired easily, but was looking better.
We had kept our distance with covid, because with everything going on we didn’t want to risk anything. Then started hearing whispers he wasn’t well again. But between his wifes schedules, and us working retail, there was no way with all the case jumps/waves we kept pushing it off, and now its to late.
I don’t know yet of there will be a service or anything, but if there is, we will be there.

In other news, I think I have a pinched nerve in my lower back… been rolling and stretching to try and fix it, but its being stubborn, so ONCE again, I have put off getting back to the gym.
Once I am up and moving it’s no problem, but its the GETTING up that the pain hits.

We went out to celebrate our anniversary yesterday (actual date was thursday). Walk, dinner, drinks and ice cream. While we were out, stopped into a little wiccan shop, makes sense knowing what I know now, why I was drawn to his woodworks and wands in the shop. Been saying for years I need to pick one up.
Will definitely have to get back down this week and pick one up now, as long as I can figure out which one I want to get. ..
