Crazy ride

So my life is really crazy right now.  There are a lot of really good things happening.  I am “hanging out” with this guy who I really like, and we are having a really good time. It has been a lot of fun.  very flirty, and i get this giddy feeling when i see or talk to him.  I feel like a little kid again, so that is really neat.  But then I got some really aweful news last night.  It  has really kinda gotten me depressed.  My friend Richard, the lighting designer who got me the job I am working on now, just found out that he has leukemia.  And he has an 8 year old son.  And it just really blows, because he works in theatre, as does his wife.  so having one person not working takes a tole on the family to begin with, not to mention the added expence of hospital and chemo and babysitters and all taht.  I am just so upset.  Luckilly they think that he has the treatable kind and not the terminal kind, but still.  it will be months before he is well again.  So there is good and bad in my life right now, and it is hard to ballence the too.  That and i have been sick, so that really sucks.  at least i don’t have a fever anymore.  i guess there is not much else to say.  Things are just really weird right now.
