Feeling a little better
Click to viewI got an exercise ball to sit on at work, and while I still hurt, it is currently pretty much eliminating all the burning, crushing, cracking pain I have been having in my lower back and hips. I also don't feel like throwing up just from sitting down. I cannot explain to you what a miracle this is, or what it has done to my mood today.
So... on with the good news.
Jon and I are going out for thai food and probably bar hopping for V-day. I know, I know, what big plans. They actually ARE big plans- he and I have never done the sit-down dinner thing, and we almost NEVER get a chance to go to the bar together as I am usually too exhausted through the week, and he works through the weekends. Hence, we are not celebrating Valentine's day until Mon or Tues.
Random quote from time spent well with Sheralyn lately (who will appreciate that I put this in here, because we were too lazy to write it down when I said it):
"I understand the point of having a holiday to appreciate love, but HONESTLY, I'm a fan of celebrating Valentine's Day like a bitter old bitch, a veil over my face, dressed in black head-to-toe, and white cloths draped over all my furniture like a funeral. We spend every single day trying to appreciate what love means to us, how we are going to get it, and what we have to do to keep it. It consumes a lot in our lives. It's a lot of hard work, and personally I think we should have a holiday where we can say 'You know what, Love? You're great and all, but you're a bitch. You're needy and demanding and yeah you may do a lot for me, but I'm fucking tired of working this hard. I'm taking this day as vacation!'"
So over Valentine's Day I will be with Jen, who's hubby-to-be is across the pond at the moment. I'm very excited to see her; we have a lot of plans to go over (I'm maid of honor in her wedding!!!) and we just so rarely get the chance for some good sit-down, knock-our-heads-together-and-laugh-about-it time. I'm actually very happy that I will be spending my v-day with her; she has a very special chunk of my heart and I am happy to share it with her that day, especially planning for the day that will change her life!
There's been a lot of intense conversations lately, and I am happy to say that the conversees all seem to be going in good directions since then. Including myself, thankfully.
Erin is coming up here for her birthday, on the 18th. Goodness is overflowing. The day after that is when I go to see my doctor to discuss what steps to take about my hip and back pain (which I absolutely CANNOT wait for), and Nick Valle is tentatively going to make an appearance in the Mitten the first week of March. ::squeal::
So I just want to take a time out here and say thank you to everyone who bothered to read my last, whiny, emo-ass post and offer some suggestions or simply an ear to listen. It does mean a lot to me.
I hope you all enjoyed the 50 degree weather we had this past week, as we seem to be sinking back into winter. Eh what the hell, it's Michigan, Spring will be back soon.
