So my friend who has ALS finally got through to the powers that be to watch an advanced screening of the new St.ar Wa.rs movie. His friends and family have all been posting, tweeting, etc....etc.....for what feels like months to make this happen. Shoot, even US.A To.day covered the story at one point. We're all overjoyed!!! Of course, I cried last night when they got the call that Dis.ney was sending a rep to see them on Saturday with a copy of the movie. He and his wife, also my former roommate, will watch it then
I tell the new girl something on entering new hires. She does it incorrectly and/or forgets what I showed her. Of course, my boss tells me, "Um, such and such happened and it needs corrected." Uh yeah....She forgets we have another person entering this frickin information.
I ran to the grocery store after dropping H at work. I actually found some stuff for my parents' stockings. Turns out my Kroger had a section of locally made lotions, soaps, sauces, etc. I also got a couple magazines to put in my mom's. Feels nice to start checking things off my list.
Today hasn't been pretty at my house. I'll probably take a day or two to myself, FYI, because I'm so stressed. Sometimes life just requires more patience than I have to give.
tacocat- Right there with you. It's amazing how much sleep is a priority for me these days. I don't care if DH gives me the crazy look when I want to go to bed at 8p every night.
Busy and productive day here. Made some food for C, made Christmas cards, did some DIY project type stuff for C's party, ordered photos at Costco, ordered C's birthday cake and figured out how to do his personal smash cake, went for a walk, and saw my cousin and his wife for a quick visit (she helped with figuring out the smash cake and loaned me some Pyrex dishes to use for baking the cake). I even showered, made the bed, and packed up some of C's stuff for our trip this weekend. Lots more to do but it feels a little more manageable. My step dad and his wife are coming over tomorrow night so I want to be able to enjoy their visit and not be stressed (just planned this last night).
I have the entire evening to myself, because H is at a four hour tattoo appointment. I think I'm going to unpack a couple of boxes and watch a chick flick.
I had serious road rage today because I had to go through two drive-throughs before I finally got some french fries. Everyone and everything was in my way. Get out of my way. I'm hungry. Then the fries that I got were way too hot to eat immediately.
I'm traveling, DH said I got a box of fruit. I had him open it to see who it was from. My sweet coworker/mentor who retired earlier this year! So nice.
