subdued lunch

Spending log - $1.19 coffee + $8 lunch

Lawyer friend's brother has taken a turn for the worse - sepsis, lawyer friend thinks. He's 3000 miles away so he's getting info third hand.

Lawyer friend is heading back to the east coast this evening. He told us he's going to stay there until his brother gets out of the hospital. Our workplace has catastrophic leave, but even if we didn't, it wouldn't matter - he'd go anyway, rules be damned.

Lawyer friend's partner is hanging on, but is a bit of mess - many loose ends in partner's life - job, remodeling the house in Hoquiam, planning a family trip that is now up in the air, supporting lawyer friend - lawyer friend leaving leaves a lot of loose ends.

Our lunch to send lawyer friend off & back to the east coast was subdued, with so many emotions underneath. He's trying to figure how to feel. I didn't have any good advice for him - I thought that maybe just feeling everything was the best. It was certainly better than pretending to feel nothing. Feel nothing in front of the TSA guy in the security line.

At the end, I dropped off his library book. One less chore for him.
