I got really depressed last night, thinking about my friend Mary Ann. She was just 39 when she died of a heart attack. Thirty-nine! Can you believe that. I am not sure how many of you have lost a close friend before, but it really hurts. It makes me think about my own susceptibility.
I know I'm a little heavy and I really don't exercise like I should. And I do sneek a smoke every now and then. But, come one. I'm pretty healthy. Or at least I feel healthy. The doctors got all over me the other day for being too heavy and not taking my medicine right. IT'S HARD. I work my tail off, taking a lot of crap from people. Sometimes I want to tell them what they can do with their stupid insurance claim, but I also know that I need this job.
I wish I wouldn't have dropped out of community college. Maybe then I could have a decent job where I didn't have to listen to people complain all day long!
Mary Ann was my best friend. I often think of all the things we did together growing up. In case anybody cares, here is her obituary:
