Anatomy of a Weekend: Making Progress

I don't know if you noticed, but I took a couple of weeks off from blogging this month. It was not by choice, let me tell you that.  Well, it was partly by choice because I simply could not think about doing anything after work.  Working sucks.  Balls.


And, I was feeling pretty crappy too.  Mostly because I was tired, but also, because I wasn't blogging.  I took a couple weeks off from therapy and I felt it. 

So, I'm making progress, I'm writing a little more. I pretended I slept through my alarm to get an extra half an hour of sleep this morning.

You don't know anything about that though. 

Oh man.  Did I mention I love Instagram?   I mean, look at that face! 

My Friday was cut short because I was suppose to leave work early but ended up staying late.  I want you to remember that fact because it's crucial later. 

We made the most of it though, with a fire and some beers.  This damn fire wouldn't light though.  It took a cardboard box filled with charcoal and some strategically placed matches to get it going.  But, it got going.

I also love fire.  That's probably not healthy to admit, but it's my blog.

We celebrated Mur's birthday on Saturday with Hibachi, cake, and some inspirational presents.  Girlfriend needs some inspiration right now.  And how could you not be inspired by some Calvin and Hobbes?  Really, I dare you.

Yeah, that's totally edible glitter on that cake.


Saturday night we went to bed early.  Because we're boring.


And Sunday, I woke up early because I was going to work that evening.  And, I felt very strongly that I had to have a mini-adventure before my shift started.

It was crucial.

I had to live a little on Sunday. 

So, I woke K up and insisted that he think of something to do.  He wasn't much help because sometimes he's not as adventurous as I, but I still love him a lot.

We ended up getting in the car, driving around Hershey, waiting for our new fav restaurant to open for brunch.



That turned out to be good enough.  Sometimes you have to make your own adventures and just be happy with how they turn out. 

We dined on huevos rancheros and steak and eggs. Not bad for a Sunday.

And then I worked until 4 AM.  In the morning.

That's what 4 in the morning looks like when you thought you were going home 5 hours ago.  So, it was a good thing that something inside of me craved adventure earlier in the day.


So, I'm extending this weeks AOW to Monday because when you work til 4 AM, you get the next day off.

But not really because night shift kicks my butt. 


Still......

When it looks like this outside, you try to bounce back.  So after I woke up at noon, went to lunch kinda looking hung over, I returned home, brushed my hair, put perfume on, and a cardigan with a flower pin.  I came into the living room, K looked at me funny, and I said, "I'm rallying."



I'm making progress. Yeah, this month is going to be crazy.  Yeah, I'm going to stay longer at work than I should.  And yeah, there will be days when adventures are put on the back burner.

But, I'm blogging again and to me, that's a good balancing act. 





PS: I updated last weeks AOW because it looked freakin ridiculous.  Honestly.  Oh, and the table pics were of last Sunday's dinner.  I cooked and K set it up with our new stuff.  He got two place settings out from storage.  He's so good.
