Sir Lance: So, after a week and a half of antibiotics and not touching him, my neck/upper back cyst or whatever he was, seems to have calmed down. The location now looks like a bruise as it’s still black and blue and, I guess, trying to scar over. But the location also feels flat for the most part - which is a good thing. I’m hoping that it doesn’t fill back up with that marshmallow fluff so I don’t have to have him cut open, but I’m just not sure what to expect. It seems/feels like it will heal over, but I don’t know how long cysts normally take to fill back up if the surrounding sac hasn’t been surgically removed. I guess time will tell? It’s possible to never have an issue with him again. I hope he never comes back!
Romance: Speaking of back, I’m back to square one in this department. I’ve heard nary a peep from ANY of the eligible bachelors in my life. I’ve decided to let Sweet D. contact me instead of pushing it with him (he went away on a biz trip and told me he’d be back in touch “after February 27th”… and my next Bumble date is supposed to happen on Wednesday, but I’m not feeling too sure about it (even though the date’s been confirmed, a time and location haven’t)… and that’s it.
Girl Power: At least I have my girls. It’s been a good week or so with the monthly brunches back on track and other events taking place and I’ve missed my girl time dearly. On Saturday, Athena invited me and another friend to coffee and we talked and talked for HOURS about everything and it just felt sooooo good. I never had my champagne party over the holidays and I’ve so missed my friend time. I’m so grateful to have this special thing that we have. It reminds me that I really need to nurture my friendships much more regularly than I do right now. And last night we went to a show. What a lovely end to the weekend.
Parents: I’d sort of clumped a bunch of stuff together this weekend that I needed to get done. Having my parents come visit was not on the agenda, but they decided to pay me a visit on Sunday and bring over their chicken and noodle dish because I absolutely love it so much. It’s my grandmother’s recipe, and it is the absolute biggest source of comfort on my comfort food list. So when they called on Sunday telling me that they’d be by in an hour, I was JUST finishing my workout and walk with the dog and was actually grabbing a cup of coffee at the super fancy Starbucks Reserve that opened up in my neighborhood. That gave me just enough time to walk home, open the windows to let some fresh air in, straighten the apartment (which was still in a bit of a shambles since my sexy romp with Bachelor Party Marty last Sunday - heh), and throw some laundry into the machine. It ended up just fine. We had a lovely lunch together. I love them. I love their chicken and noodles! :)
Whole Life Challenge: Is over for this six weeks. It ended at the end of Friday. I worked out every single day but one (the aftermath of Bachelor Party Marty) and ate/drank pretty well. I lost seven pounds and have started to look like I do when I work out and eat right again! The challenge starts over in 6 weeks from now and today I have signed up to do it again in April. I do love this challenge when I have a team to play with and keep me accountable. I also end up keeping several good habits every time I take this challenge. I’m excited to be done, but I also feel like I just started. I’d like to lose a couple more pounds before our big trade show that starts in two weeks and two days. I think I can if I pretty much stick to the plan (though I WILL be eating chicken and noodles tonight for dinner - heh).
Work: Insanely busy. Gotta get this line launched in a couple of weeks. I should be staying super late tonight to get some things done, but I’m spent. It’s been a Monday, starting with going way out of the way first thing this morning to tour the place where the show is being set up (we work with a company who helps us design and build our trade show booth and then they send it all out to be replicated at the actual show - it’s SUCH a nice way to create a trade show!). Anyway, Boss keeps getting me sidetracked for whatever reason and I am trying to stay focused and keep my eyes on the prize. I also need to make sure I’m getting this project into my portfolio. It’s a big one, folks and may be my last hurrah here, so I’ve GOT to make this one BIGGGG!
Ok. I’m done for tonight. Until later…
xox,
GS
