It’s been six days since my friend’s dad had a massive heart attack and he’s still in a coma. Today is a big day because they’ll find out the results of his MRI to see if there is any brain activity. If there is, he should be able to wake up and live a relatively normal life. If there’s not, well, I can’t bring myself to speak about it. It’s just too much for me to comprehend.
One good thing I can report is that the coffee table I started making about a week ago looks really good. I definitely won’t have to turn it into scrap timber and I’ll be able to give it to my friend as a gift. Hopefully, it’s a celebration gift and not an ‘I’m thinking of you gift’.
Seeing as that project has gone so well, I’ve decided to go back to the hardware store in the City of Bayside to buy some electrical equipment. I’m not an electrician but my boyfriend is and he’ll be able to help me hang the lights properly once I’ve done the initial sculpting. When I was trying to distract myself from everything that was (and still is) going on, I was flicking through the pages of a free design magazine that I got at the hardware store during my first trip. On one of the pages, I saw this big picture of a beautiful lit up heart. The heart looked like it was made of some sort of metal and then sculpted into that shape. Then, entwined in the metal were multiple fairy lights. It was stunning and if I can pull it off, it is going to be the perfect accompaniment to my coffee table gift. It’ll be bright and will be made from the best electrical supplies Cheltenham has to offer.
I really hope that when I give my friend the gift, we are celebrating and crying happy tears rather than crying sad tears.
