Wake up! It's Friday!!

It's Friday, people 




What are you up to?

My psych put me on buspiron the other day. I've been on it before, but I was drinking at the time so it didn't help. I can't tell if it's helping yet. My concentration seems to be better, though I don't know if that's a mental thing or an effect from the med.

I am tired today. I got up early to work, and I haven't had any coffee yet. I'm contemplating a Starbucks run because I haven't made my cold brew.

I went to an EDA meeting last night...and came away feeling a little let down. I didn't get the relief I was hoping for. Maybe next week will be better.

Don't really have any plans for the weekend. I'm going to start supplementing my income with freelance work, so I'm going to spend some time building up my portfolio. Other than that, I still need to clean house. Hopefully it will be a nice, boring weekend.

TGIFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Tonight we are hosting happy hour for a few couples at our house. Tomorrow I'm having lunch with my sister and don't have much else planned. No plans right now for Sunday.

I just put a Salon Pas lidocaine patch on my lower back.
O.M.G.

Why have I lived with this pain for so long?

This has been an emotionally exhausting week. I'm so glad it's Friday!

Tonight I have a double hip hop class, so 90 minutes instead of the usual 45. I'm pretty sure that when I get home tonight, I'm going to just collapse. We won't be done until 8:45!

I have no plans yet for the entire weekend, which feels amazing. I know things will come up, but for now having space in my calendar is wonderful. And I have Monday off!

I started my weekend last night. We had an early Christmas celebration since one of my coworkers is going to have a baby in early December. We went to a restaurant I've been wanting to try in a newly restored hotel. It was an amazing meal and the place feels like you walked into a Wes Anderson film. It's amazing. Tonight I will be restoring the paint on a truck to hopefully sell tomorrow. Saturday is Rugby! It's the Autumn Internationals and I hope to catch one of the games. Preferably the New Zealand v England at 10am. Then I have to run errands that I need to get done. Sunday is going to be fun. I think my H has something planned with friends for my birthday. He told me from noon I can't make plans. Then I have the MLS playoff match. Let's go Atlanta!!!!! OMG I am tired just reading that back. I also have to get some gear together, H surprised me with a short trip to Mexico. It's a big birthday for me and we usually mark them with something crazy. He went Crazy. I'm so excited.

tiramisu, That class sounds like fun.

Happy Friday! I’m grabbing dinner with bf tonight and am hoping to just have some downtime since it’s been a weird couple of weeks. Tomorrow we’re going to The Book of Mormon and then going to my friend’s house to drink/catch up. Sunday I got nothing but yoga, however my brother is in town for a funeral so we may get dinner.

I’m stuck in an all day training today, which is lame, but one of my probation agents brought me coffee, so no complaints from this cat!

Tonight I'm going to the opener gopher girls basketball game with my dad and cousin, so that should be fun.

The entire weekend is completely free, such hasn't happened in ages. I plan on sleeping in, doing laundry, going to a movie. Yessss.

SwimDeep - I am in the same boat with some new meds. I cannot figure out if they are working or it is just a mental thing because they are new and I am anxious for them to work.

neonpink, when is your actual B-day? HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
and when are you leaving for Mexico?

Tonight is the season opener of the U of MN Women's basketball. It is such a big deal because there former star player is the new head couch. The "barn" is sold out and that NEVER happens for women's b-ball.

Tomorrow I am having a mini girls trip with 4 other friends. Originally we were going about an hour away to a cute little city on the river to do some wine tasting and fabulous eating. Well apparently a pipe burst in the 3 room suite we reserved. So the management said they would comp us a full weekend after the holidays. HELL YES - a free girls wknd. Since we all planned for this wknd and everyone has sitters and what not, we are decided to get a hotel downtown and are just going to stay local.

Sunday I expect to be nursing a hangover.

spindle92, My actual bday is the 15th and we are leaving that day for Mexico. We've never been so it should be fun. A free gi!rls weekend sounds amazing! I love playing tourist in my town it's fun to change up the location. Also for Saturday night pick up some pedialyte and drink it before you go to sleep.

[bullygirl979]

neonpink, ooohh...a trip to Mexico sounds great! Happy early birthday!

spindle92, WOOHOO for a free girls weekend!

tiramisu, you just reminded me that I have Monday off, too! YASSSSSSSSSS

[SwimDeep]

spindle92 -- exactly... Right now I feel like I'm just surviving instead of living. I'm hoping that feeling fades as these meds start to work. There's a huge part of me that wishes I wasn't an addict so I could take the good stuff. I know that stuff works, lol.

One day at a time SwimDeep, You can do it. I think some days, even weeks can be like that. You're just treading water, knowing eventually the feeling will pass and you'll come out on shore. Lots of hugs though.
