- I woke up all groggy but now I feel fine; better than fine, physically. We had a couple bourbons Wednesday night but then last night, opted out of trivia so we weren’t tempted to eat and drink late. Proud of us! I still feel like I’m not quite myself these days but perimenopause/menopause doens’t last forever, I know that.
- We pinned down what my son wanted to do for his birthday. For the last, oh, ten years maybe, he’s done something with two friends of his. He doens’t go to school with them but has known them a long time. (One since they were born!) Every time one of them has a birthday, the families make a plan for dinner and an activity. So this Sunday, I am taking them to one of the jumpy places then the mall.
- In communicating with the moms, I found out my friend Courtney is in Destin for the annual girls’ wine trip…to which I have never been invited. And you know why? I’m not a wine drinker. And for the most part, I am ok with that because while I will drink wine, I am not that person. You know, I’m not the Lululemon, Vera Bradley, salad-eating, wine-drinking, pop-music singing in the car type of woman. I’m just…different. And the stupid part in my brain is that I would, just once, like an invite… even though I probably wouldn’t go. I’ve known most of the women a long time but I’d still feel out of place. And if Miss “turned to 11 all the time” was there, well, I really wouldn’t want to go. She infuriates me and I’d prefer not to be in her presence.
- I feel like I’m really on top of things in my online classes at the same time as I took Spring off for another one of my jobs. I missed a call from my contact person there and haven’t gotten back to her…but I know I should. Honestly, not having that one final thing on my plate has been a Godsend this semester. It was putting me over the edge; making it so I was just a WEE BIT too busy to the point of being exasperated and harried. I emailed her a few weeks back to say I can come back for Summer term when things slow down but for now, it’s all too much. And for me, it was difficult to say that. I always think I can do it all.
- But for now, I am going to focus on today; I took off after 5th and I’ll go home and get us ready to head to the beach. Tonight we’ll do dinner at Eastpoint brewing and probably drink some beer in Apalachicola. Saturday morning we’ll walk the beach early then do the fest in the afternoon. It’ll be a nice little getaway!
