I pulled up to Barwis and Deeds was in the parking lot barbecuing in a tank top. As I pulled into my spot and turned the car off, Mike showed up, also sleeveless. I transferred and Mike pushed me inside. Mike Morfitt (also sleeveless) was working with a young client named Brooklyn so Mike and I went to the white table. I saw Megan who was also sleeveless and she pulled at my sleeves. It was ‘Wear Purple Day” at work in support of a colleague who has Lupus. Mike told me that I had enough sleeves for all of them. Just then, Connor came by and gave him a burger from the grill outside.
It was a bit warm but going sleeveless makes me so nervous. Having MS, I am both heat and cold intolerant so I don’t want to get chilled to the bone (which happens EVERY summer when there is the slightest breeze). But, further in my defense, I didn’t know about it because I can completely dig a themed day. Mike stretched my legs out on the white table. I told him that I thought he broke my lap again. Although, when he had me lay on my stomach, the stretch felt easier. I made the mistake of telling Mike this so he made it NOT easy. He immediately pushed my heel further which got me to groan in pain. But, it’s a GOOD pain… At least it will be.
My legs were Jell-O so Mike put me back into my chair, wheeled me out, and put me into my car. We talked of the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, and he wished me a good weekend and closed my car door. When I picked Sean up from his last track practice, our (Mike and my) song came on. I’ve been hearing that song A LOT.
