“Seriously. I had to schedule a breakdown, and then I had to cut it short!”
– C.
Minions, I have neglected you. But last Friday the world sort of stopped. I was stressed, I was tired, I was anxious, I was overwhelmed, and I literally worried myself sick. I went home early on Friday and spent some time in bed.
Of course, I had only a limited amount of time to recover from the vapors because I had stuff to do. Saturday I had a wedding (in addition to Venice’s birthday) and errands to run, Sunday was dinner at my godparents’ house (a 4 hour event at least) after which I had to dash home and make appetizers for… Monday after work, Sadie and Pieter had a Honey Do couples shower. Classic me, I made it all the way to GS’s house before I realized I’d forgotten the food in my fridge.
But health, good-humor, and cheerfulness have begun to return, and so, updates. Margot landed a full time teaching job (no small prize in this economy), Marie’s husband also got a job back East, Hambone had her baby boy, my sister-in-law had a dry run for her future lung transplant and got an emergency plan in place (still scary, but less so now), Dad, Venice, and J. all got older, and J. is going to Les Miserables tonight, staring Alfie Boe.
You know, the one who managed to stand out among these guys:
Wait. I’m sad again…
The thing I admire most about you is your humor. Everyone is allowed to have a good pout. Being able to pout with humor and style is absolutely priceless. Keep up the adventures. I always love to read them.
Oh good. Fooled you too. 😉 Thanks, L., I always love hearing from you!
I wish you could have come with me. It was every bit as amazing as you’d expect.
“Wait. I’m sad again”. I hate it when that happens! You are laughing through the muck though, dear, and that is a pretty spectacular thing!
Hi C.! I haven’t commented in a long time! Jared and I are going to Les Mis in London in January! We are so excited. Sorry you have to be apart from your hubby. Send me an update sometime soon. Love ya girl.
