I did it!

I felt completely and totally crazy today, 

but I went and visited Nick's family today :) 

I thought it was going to be really super weird,

but it ended up being totally chill and awesome.

It started off with me needing to go to the store

before I picked up my brother from work, 

but when I got to the store, they hardly had anything

that I was looking for (either they were out, or 

they just didn't have it. Lame.)

And I got this feeling like I should go visit his family.

Funny thing is I got this same feeling like, a month ago.

Maybe even longer than that.

It was when I was going to go visit Fidget, but he told me

he needed like, 20 minutes, I almost went over to Nick's

house to say hi to his family, but I chickened out.

I got that same feeling tonight as I was in the store, and 

finally I got up the guts to do it. 

The drive over was excruciating, and I stressed about 

what I would say, what I would do, how to approach

the situation, because every possibility just seemed

awkward and unnatural.

You know, I just come walking up to the door:

"Hi... I'm Nick's friend from work."

Awkward! No bueno!

Fortunately for me, his dad was out shoveling

the driveway when I pulled up, so I went over

and re-introduced myself, and asked if Nick's mom

was at home. 

She was, thank heaven, and we went inside and 

had a nice chat for about half an hour, until

I had to go pick up my brother from work.

Turned out a lot better than I thought it would be :)

I think, luckily, I contacted his mom on Facebook first

before just going over there.

That would have been weird.
