I spent my weekend up in LA with my family and had some time with my BFF Amber, her boyfriend & her sister. It was her sister’s 30th birthday so that was celebrated on Friday night. Saturday night was a going away dinner for my brother who’s going back to Texas to be retrained in a different job for the Air Force. He leaves the Sunday after Thanksgiving and will be gone for 2 months or so.

Unfortunately I learned on Saturday that a friend from Sardo’s passed away earlier this week from a massive heart attack. He was a very jovial man who was passionate about performing and was always so nice and snazzily dressed in a handsome vest and slacks. He was 49 years old. The last time I saw him was a few weeks ago when I’d gone up with Devin for his dad’s birthday. I’m glad I got to see him then. He’s already very missed. I just couldn’t believe it when I saw an update from another Sardo’s friend. I was definitely shocked.

I’m now back in San Diego and relaxing after driving home in rain and poor visibility. Thankfully there wasn’t too much traffic; I made it back in less than 3 hours. I did think I had a flat tire at one point, but everything was fine. It was apparently the freeway surface making that kind of sound/feeling. I’ve only had a flat tire occur once while driving, thankfully, so I’m not too attuned to what it sounds/feels like to have one. Thank God I have AAA now! Just in case, you know!
