Nothing much really to report. I've been working like crasy (but then what's new?), I've been Holiday Shopping, doing wedding stuff, taking care of sick people, and attempting to be the best friend I possibly can be to all of my friends, a good future wife to my future husband, and a good big sister.
Today, though, was a bit much for me to handle. I know a lot of stuff went on last week and I really feel bad about it. I didn't know the kid, but I highly doubt he deserved that. Still, I need to go on and live my life and hope that it doesn't end that way for me, my friends, or my family. It was truly horrible, and I can't even imagine what the people who are dealing with that think about it right now....but back to today.
Yesterday evening, Jonathan came down with a semi-flu and I needed to rush (in a rainstorm, by the way), to his house to make sure he was taking care of himself, and so that I could take care of him...because I feel bad if I don't help out...
Today was weighing, running errands (holiday shopping in the a.m.), lunch with mom, more holiday shopping, meeting with an attorney, running to Target (and i forgot i had my $10 gift certificate from Arizona, so I wound up paying for the whole thing, damnit), running back, watching part of a movie, talking on the phone, making chocolate-dipped spoons, talking on the phone to my mom (again), and going wedding-dress and bridesmaid dress shopping online. I was at work for an hour and a quarter, which is really nothing, but I feel like I have a better understanding of what's going on over there now, and I know what's expected of me for the rest of the month or so, which is good...
The christmas presents are getting to be a pain, though. Not enough time, or money, to get what I want to get for everyone, which is why I'm making some of them here at home, trying to simplify things so that it doesn't go so badly. And poor, sweet Jonathan is sleeping in bed with a bad case of the stomach flu, which I'm probably going to wind up getting, even though I can't afford to get it right now. But that's the way it goes, I guess...
Anyway, I have no idea why I'm rambling on, I just thought that it would be good to check in and let you know how I'm doing -- exhausted, overworked, and too busy for my own good -- but fine...I should probably get some sleep, though, because I'm going with Jonathan and a co-worker to a bridal expo tomorrow in Schaumburg to get some ideas of what to do for the different parts of the wedding....so, goodnight everyone!
