Boss just pushed my meeting time for a costing review out a couple of hours and now I have a few minutes to say hi! So, hi!
Last night I left the office at quittin’ time and went to pick up dinner for my mamma and daddy as they were staying overnight fairly close to my place, near the hospital district. Mom had her fifth and hopefully final eye surgery for her eye pressure glaucoma. I’m super worried about her, but she seemed to come out of this surgery well, so I’m glad.
Anyway, they stayed in a hotel very close to the surgery center, which is about a 20-minute drive from my place and we had a lovely dinner of several different kinds of salads and breads in their hotel room. It was healthy and light and lovely.
Dad told me about this dog-friendly event happening at the brewery in their town and that has turned into a full-fledged commitment that he and I have made to bring product from my company out there and make goodie bags and do raffle stuff.
Oy. What have we gotten ourselves into? But I’m actually really excited to do something like this. It’s been a while and my dad seemed so excited about it, so we will have some fun! I’ll spend the night at mom and dad’s the Friday night beforehand and get everything set up before 8am. The event ends at 11:30am anyway, so we’ll have a daddy/daughter event, talk to folks (my dad is friends with the brewery owners…and pretty much everybody in their town), and it’s all for a really good cause.
So. Nice!
I had a great visit with my mom, too. I’m so very glad that we are becoming close as we get older. I love talking with her every evening and I’m proud of the fact that we do this now. I’m probably much happier with it than she is (ha!), but I will never feel guilty about the fact that we didn’t spend quality time together. We may not have until I was 51 years old, but we are sure making up for lost time since my injury!
Ah, the good things that have come from something so terrible!
So besides work stress - which has gotten really stressful since an urgent project fell in my lap late on Friday, and the stress of mom’s surgery, it’s shaping up to be a fairly mellow week. No dates planned and I’m fine with that. I’m REALLY looking forward to my road trip this weekend with the dog.
I’m in this state where life feels really, really good.
Also! I had a nice chat with SexyPants last night. I don’t know where that came from, but I think it’s because he’s been in a melancholy state over the past few weeks/months. Not that he’s in a funk, but he’s been helping his son with a lot of issues and making some major changes in his life and he might have wanted to feel a little grounded or something. And no. I’d never get back together with him, but it’s just nice to still have a connection with someone I’d been deeply in love with. No matter what kind of dick moves he made behind my back, I truly feel that he did and does still care about me.
So. Just some thoughts. Glad to get those out.
I need to get back to work now.
Lots of love!!
