Going to dinner with a friend

got in contact with an old friend of mine. haven’t hung out with him in about 6 or 8 years. not since I was diagnosed anyways. we decided to grab dinner Friday night, should be interesting.

I guess I will fill him in on what I’ve been up to. I got 5 significant things to talk about since we last hung out. Arrests, hospitalizations, diagnoses, travel, and disability. that’s pretty much been my life transitioning from my 20’s to my 30’s. I don’t think it’s too much to drop on him, he works in mental health. sounds like his life is on the up and up, success at work, fiancé, new house.

we used to be pretty rowdy crew. we’d go out to bars, stripclubs, drink and chainsmoke. I’m not sure if he’s still drinking or not or if he gave that up. I’ll ask Friday.

anyways I guess its a good sign that im going to meet up with a friend, it’s been since 2012 since I hung out with anybody.

Have a good time! Always good to catch up with people! Friends are good to have in this world and you can bounce a lot of things off of them for people like us. Have fun!

dinner went well. I told him I was sz, he said he already heard about it. it was no big deal. we’re going to do some hiking together, maybe watch football on sundays, play some golf in the future… glad I got back in touch with him.
