I'm going to group today for the first time in the past four weeks. I shouldn't have skipped out for so long, but I needed it in a way. I'm feeling better in general right now. There is a lot of wedding planning to be done, but I am trying not to stress out about it for now. It will all somehow work itself out in the end. I'm not obsessing over the "perfect day." I have been practicing my harp again. Every time I leave it and come back I remember how much I love playing it. This past weekend was jam packed. Alan's birthday was Friday and that began my vegan cupcake adventures. They actually turned out quite well. We had dinner with his brother and sister in law and then came back to eat cupcakes and play games. It was a nice low key birthday and Alan was thoroughly satisfied. I think Jeremy might have been miffed that we didn't invite him, but Alan really just wanted some time with his brother. I asked Emily (Alan's sister in law) to be one of my bride's maids. It was originally to even out the bridal party, but now Alan's cousin has dropped out because she is gong to be in Brazil. Oh well, I like Emily anyway.
Saturday was Jeremy's Cinco De Mayo party. It was pretty crazy. I didn't think you could fit fifty people into a two bedroom apartment. The food was amazing. I made two dozen vanilla vegan cupcakes. They were a hit. The only bad part was when I tripped and sprained both my ankles. It was quite impressive actually. My feet bended inwards and I fell with all of my weight on both my ankles. It was painful, but not half as bad as when the alcohol wore off in the morning when I realized just how painful two sprained ankles can be. They are still pretty swollen and definitely bruised, but asprin seems to be taking care of most of the pain. I have some ACE splint things for when I need to walk around....well, hobble around. I think I will be fine in a couple of days. I have been staying off them since Saturday. Jeremy forced me to leave the apartment Sunday, but he wheeled me around IKEA so it wasn't that bad.
Nursing school starts on May 21st. I am hoping to take a spur of the moment road trip before then with my dear friend Annalisa, but I am waiting to talk to her about it before I get my hopes too high. I have no idea where I would like to go, but I think we both need a trip. Maybe Toronto? Chicago? We shall see. I don't really know if it will be feasible, but it is exciting to think about all the same. If it doesn't turn out I can catch up on my reading and do some planning for school.
