dollar burger night

Dear Nick,

You start a new treatment tomorrow, so I’ve tried desperately to get a hold of you all day. Seriously. I think I’ve called you no less than seven times. You called me back once, but I was at dollar burger, and you didn’t leave a message. Always leave messages, k? I save them and go back to listen to them when it’s been a while since we’ve talked, and I cherish hearing your voice, your laugh, and the silly things you say.

I need to talk to you today because after you start your new treatment, you may not feel up for talking. You may be really sick. And I need to talk to you about scheduling my trip to see you before the prices get too high. You said you want to hang out, and I do too. I’ll even bring a pie, if you’d like.

Today was my last dollar burger day with the crew. I know you don’t like dollar burger day or that particular bar, but it’s the one day a week I know that our group from the building has scheduled time to just hang out. I like having that chill time built into the schedule, and I’m going to miss this great group of friends. Before leaving, I said bye to Brendan, who claimed he didn’t know I was moving next weekend. I’m sure I told him; you know how he is. Lauren and another girl from school were there too. And then the usual crew: Emily, Caitlin, James, TJ, and Kelsey.

After burgers we went back to Kelsey’s place to play Wii. Well, TJ and I did, and Kate came over too. (Do you know Kate? She lives on the 5th floor and has a dog named Jersey.) I had never played Wii before, and I really liked it! Secretly, I was hoping I wouldn’t. I suck at things that require hand-eye coordination, but this? I think it’s something I could learn. Also, I was thinking it might be good for you, too, to work on coordination and movement. If we were still living in the same city, we could share one ☺

Kelsey has a cat, and my allergies are driving me nuts, so I’m going to take an antihistamine, jump in the shower, and get to bed.

Call me, k? I miss you.

Love,
Holly
