Icelandic Dinner Date

Some days life just slaps you in the face. My BFF was having one of those days. She and her husband are on a trip to Iceland. The weather stranded them for two days, making their plans change and hotels to be rebooked. Then, her husband had a flare up of Diverticulitis and without medical care in the area they’re stranded in, is in terrible pain. Ibuprofen and Tylenol is all they have for now. She left him in the room to try to rest while she went in search of dinner at the hotel restaurant. I happened to text her as she arrived. She was pretty bummed, and feeling defeated 3 days into their 14 day trip. So, I invited myself to enjoy dinner with her! We have that kind of relationship… more like family than friends. I sent her money for drinks and we typed back and forth, shared pictures of menus, “our meal” and dessert. We laughed about lighter things in life, past trips we’ve take. And how crazy she must look to everyone in the restaurant.

This blip is just an example of the antics. As a good friend, I did click on the photo to zoom in and thoroughly inspect her teeth. Then gave the all clear!

I think she returned to Greg in better spirits but I believe they will be ending the trip early due to his illness. I’m sad for them both as they’ve looked so forward to exploring Iceland.
