Bits and Pieces of the Wedding Weekend
So I've started the Ketogentic (or, as I like to call it, the anti-Cancer) Diet today. Go health!
John and I had a lovely night last night, as a welcome home for me. He's made a friend, and that seems to have made a huge difference in him. He seems happier with himself.
Yesterday morning was insane, and I'm so happy to be back in Brooklyn, though I already miss my father incredibly.
Robin's parents, particularly her father, are nuts. Her father is a gun nut, and he pulled a gun on a bum yesterday, in front of fifteen of us, that tried to steal of our two bagels at the park. When saying goodbye to Robin afterward, she was crying and saying she loved me so much and that she was so sorry. I told her not to worry and gave her a hug. I hold on tightly. He's fucking nuts, but I'll hold onto Robin tightly. I know she just wants everyone to get along and be a big, happy family...I just don't see that happening. Her father said a bunch of misogynistic things-like "warnings about what it means to have a wife now," referencing nagging, etc.- during his speech. I can't stand that guy. The gun incident just took it to a new level. I know Josh is totally concerned. What do you do? They're supposed to drive from Cleveland to visit my parents, with Robin and Josh, in August. I will flip out if they bring a gun around my dogs.
On a brighter note, John and I are going to tango tonight. I've gained a lot of weight, and my pants aren't fitting well, so I hope I don't tear them or something.
I think I'm going to start working out at home again and discontinue my gym membership. I seemed to see much more of a difference in my body when I was doing that before, and it takes up sooo much time going to and from and using their shower, etc. Plus, I don't have the finances to support the membership anymore, and I have decided to put way more focus onto my writing and singing. After speaking with Daniel Estrin-NPR journalist extraordinaire-about my writing and receiving his compliments (on several occasions) not only on my writing but also on my music (he plays cello and his sister is connected with the New York Philharmonic), my faith in myself seems to be renewed. It was so awesome to be surrounded by intelligent, creative people for the majority of the trip and receiving so many compliments and hugs and invites to get together. I'm uplifted. I was told to do my 9-5, leave, and then continue on with my goals.
Also, Daniel said we should do a duet together sometime...that would be incredible.
