Clarity, and Priorities

March 11th, 2005
I went to the barbecue today. That man can cook, all that beef tasted absolutely heavenly. I took the whole day off and just hung out with Hal.

He doesn't look too good.

I think he's decided not to get treatment this time.
It's hard to handle. Hard to think about, even. I'm not ready to say goodbye to him. Not yet. Maybe not ever, really.
He's the only source of gratification I've got. He tells me he's proud of me, and I need that.

From the looks of him, he's got a handful of months.
I'm going to ease up on work a little.

A Break

March 9th, 2005
Spring Break! I've already spent half of it working, of course. I'm hoping to land an internship later this year, though, and like most internships it will pay the kingly sum of nothing. Thus, I have to scrimp and save to make what I earn this summer last through the year.

Hal's asked me to make some time for a barbecue this weekend. I haven't seen him in a month and a half. He says big, great things are on the horizon for me, and it's time to celebrate.
