Monday

Blah. How are y'all doing today?

The only thing getting me through is A and thinking of chalupa's beautiful wedding this week. Two weeks to get through and then we're headed up north.


I applied to foster with a local dog rescue for after the holidays and went groveling back to the golden retriever rescue to foster as well. I can't imagine not having a golden in my life even after watching him go through that terrible cancer. I don't feel ready to commit to keeping another dog, but I can at least help them.

doglove, sending you big hugs.

I'm kind of cranky today and I'm not really sure why. I didn't sleep well at all on Friday and Saturday nights so I'm sure I'm a bit sleep deprived. I am excited though, as our bed, area rug and armchair are getting delivered on Friday. I have to connect with our designer at the end of the week to see what she was thinking for bedding so I can actually go buy some sheets as we don't have any king sized one. I'm SO excited for this huge bed.

Huge hugs to you doglove.

I'm stuck in another 2 days of meetings, ick. I cannot wait to not be working on Wednesday - my out of office message is all queued up and scheduled to kick in at 5pm tomorrow.

((doglove)) I was wondering how you have been doing.

I'm tired and sore today...taught/practiced a lot last night. Unfortunately, I'm a little shaken from hurting myself, so I'm struggling in practice, even though I'm not doing that move anymore...it's just other moves that require fully committing to them, and I'm balking at the last second, so they're not working. Blah. We have our annual ladies' Christmas luncheon and ornament/cookie exchange today at work, though, so that should be fun.

I've been trying to keep busy, I am really just a teary mess all the time udscoobychick. Waking up without him is really the worst because he was always there waiting for me. It's been so depressing because he had all this positive energy and so much joy all the time and it's so strange without that around anymore.

Hugs doglove

Someone made buckeyes for the entire office, I have a dozen at my desk and trying to not eat them all.

So, so sorry doglove. It's so tough to lose the light in your life. Sending you love <3


I'm okay today. I ended up seeing the guy again because I started thinking I was being too harsh. It was good, he was really responsive and listened to everything I said (didn't talk about the foot thing), and he's been really sweet. We did run across a significant difference that means we'll likely be ending things, but we're also going to talk in person so that communication is clear and because I think the idea of things ending over text felt crappy to both of us. I ended up much more sad than I thought I would be. I partially blame period hormones, but also blame non-sexual physical contact. I've really missed being able to just curl up in someone's arms and relax. It's a hard need to meet/address when single.

Want a little giggle? Our wedding florist just called with our total bill. She felt terrible our bill was SO HIGH and threw in a couple things for the cake table for free. Know how much we owe her? $273.00. LOL

[doglove]

Under 300$ for flowers chalupa?? That's a steal!

I know! She kept saying she was sorry about the cost of my bouquet. It's $65. I keep cracking up about it - she's definitely a small town florist, not a "wedding florist".

[chalupa]

Also, my wedding coordinator just emailed to say she feels sorry that the hot cocoa and gingerbread cookie bar will add $5/person, so our fancy chiavari chairs are free.

Today has been fantastic for our wedding budget! Maybe I'll just cross my fingers that our other vendors feel like giving us discounts, too.

That's hilarious, chalupa! And yay for free stuff!

[neonpink]

doglove, Massive hugs. I am so sorry about Buddy.

tiramisu, hugs to you too.

chalupa, yeah for wedding discounts.

I'm good. I'm recovering from a fun weekend of horrible christmas sweaters and cranberry moscow mule punch. I spent all day yesterday watching the Crown. It was nice to be lazy. However I now need to do grocery shopping and laundry. 0_0

Welp, it's Monday. I'm still super emotional (duh!) and feel pretty overwhelmed with Luke being sick and work not going well. My boss just called me to ask if I could be in Arkansas Thursday for an all day meeting. I'm already going to be in Florida for meetings on Friday. I really hope I don't end up also having to go to Arkansas.

Next week I was supposed to be in Florida and then Texas but I decided I'm doing the Florida meeting remotely. I really really need the Christmas break but it means that I will be away from Luke for almost a week and I'm scared to death he'll die during that time. Gah!
