An old Scouser friend who I've not seen in over five years came to visit on Monday. We met over the internet, via an old game (Quest*) that I've not touched in years, and although neither of us play it any more, we still talk on msn and facebook and the like, as we do with most people we met there. In fact, that's where I met both Rambo and The Music Man. Felt like we were having an actual Quest-con over the last few days, was pretty awesome recalling old times and old gossip and drama.
Anyhow, Scouser just got dumped (over Facebook - how classy) and needed some cheering up so we dragged her down to Mancheeseter with us, drank lots, ate lots of junk food, went out to pubs and cinemas and the like. Oh, and played with Moxie - that'd cheer anyone up!
So incredibly exhausted trying to act normal and be sociable and the like as the last time I saw Scouser I was so much better than I am now and I was trying to my hardest to act like nothing had changed as I didn't want to dump it all on her suddenly but she was wonderful about it all and actually quite jealous of my awesome purple wheelchair**! But despite her being awesome I still found myself quite (ashamedly) relieved when she got ill Tuesday night/Wednesday morning as it meant we could spend yesterday just chilling out at home, curled up in quilts watching bad tv and trying to play Monopoly without Moxie knocking the pieces everywhere.
She went home last night. I miss her already but really, really need some resting time before I can deal with the world again.

**Which still needs a name, actually. All the folks over at Spoonville have given their chairs and canes awesome names.
