Slow Recovery Taking Place

Am I talking about the economy? Nope. The slow recovery I'm referring to is energy. My energy.
Last week I aided and abetted (to help and aid someone in an illegal activity) some good friends in their efforts to flee Connecticut to the safety of Pennsylvania. No, they really hadn't committed a crime, or done anything illegal. They were just moving their family in order to start new jobs.
Now, I was very happy to help, and I am glad I was able to do so. It was, however, a very exhausting experience for me. Although, in it's own peculiar way, it was quite an adventure from beginning to end.
I went along, not so much as an english translator, but as more of an interpreter, since my friend Pamela's english is not always easy to understand. She is originally from China. Anyway, each errand had a bit of an epic experience to it. They didn't seem to come to an end quickly. For instance, we had to pick up her baby daughter's medical records and at the same time cancel a later appointment and vaccination for her. After leaving the first time, we barely made it out the door before going back because Pam had more questions. The second time we made it to the parking lot before going back. The final time, we actually were driving away before turning around and going back. When we left, Pam had re-made the appointment for the baby, and had cancelled having the medical records sent out since she would have to come back in November for the appointment anyway. And that, was just one of a handfull of things we had to do that day. All being unique experiences that would be difficult to explain, and possibly hard to believe.
But as I said, even as tiring as the overall week was, I was very happy to be able to help. They are wonderful people, and good friends. I am very lucky to be part of their lives. I am only sad because they are so far away now, and I will see them very rarely.
But the only thing that is certain in life is that things change. So we do what we have to do.
Be well, my friends. Look out for each other.
