"When you find out who you are, you find out what you need."
Okay, feeling 95% better than yesterday. Yesterday after work was just a rough day all around, but that's what happens when I'm home alone and my emotions get the better of me. Today, not going to happen. I have too much on my mind and I am very happy. How about a recap of the day?
7AM -- Woke up to an uneasy stomach. I realized that my living room felt at least 10 degrees warmer than my bed, so I settled on the couch to finish watching "Meet the Fockers." I got to watch TV with Josh before he headed to Jubilee and had a nice breakfast.
9:30AM -- Drove to MK and had a nice chat with my mom along the way, talking about emotions, future plans, and this coming summer.
10:30AM -- Check in and get ready for parade as I receive the following text from Josh: "Try to watch at least the 1 o'clock processional...and bring your camera." (For those of you who don't know, Josh is the only guy trained in the processional leader who has yet to do the role. He had been talking to his managers all week and, from the looks of that text, he was leading the 1 o'clock.)
11AM -- Arrive at the parade building and settle in with my girls, talking and planning the day ahead.
12PM -- Second to last Christmas parade of the year. It was a lot of fun and very crazy, including the Wave and a silly version of London Bridge that left people in stitches.
1:15PM -- Eric, Cat, and I arrive in Frontierland to watch the riverboat make its final turns. We receives waves from Tiana, Naveen, a bunch of revelers and finally get noticed by Josh. Ten minutes later, I got to watch Josh lead the recessional for Tiana's Showboat Jubilee...and he was wonderful. I know how nervous he was, but he did such an amazing job. I know I sound like a mother when I say, "I'm so proud of him." But he's been talking about this for so long...and it's so wonderful that he got the chance to do it.
(Josh calls his reveler character "Jean Berlioz.")
1:45PM -- Cookout at parade! Followed by lots and lots of pictures.
(Baking Elves using their spatulas to help the gingerbread men.)
3:30PM -- Last Christmas parade, complete with standard rituals and a very funny and humorous ending for all. We got copies of the cast picture. I need to get a frame for mine...and a shelf to put it on.
And now I'm relaxing at home for the evening. Cole is due over in a few minutes and we're going to have dinner. I'm glad he's coming over. I have found over the years that one of the simplest ways to cheer yourself up is to cheer up others, so that's what I'm going to do. And hopefully that will take my mind away from the fact that Josh is leaving in three days.
In other news, I decided to get my hair cut again. I want to put more layers in. I miss them.
So, on a happier note, I'm very excited for the week ahead. Here's why:
Sunday (tomorrow) -- Back at Studios! I can't wait. Josh has the evening off, so I'll probably help him pack a little after work.
Monday -- 11 hours of MK fun...hoping to head to Liberty Tree early. Once again, Josh and I have the evening off. Probably more packing.
Tuesday -- Back at Studios again. (Josh is leaving...) Lindsey and Ryan are having a good-bye party that I might go to, but Josh takes first priority.
Wednesday -- My first day off in weeks! Lots of relaxing, probably trying to get out of the house so I don't start crying again. This might be the day I get my hair cut. I've also thought about a movie and surprising people on set. Oh, and Rob comes back into town! And Cole has already offered to come over after work to make me feel better.
Thursday -- LIBERTY TREE!!! A fun day is in store!
Friday -- Love of my life...Play and Dine! I cannot wait to be back. Then, a special mission with Cat.
Saturday -- Boat Dock! Not overly excited about the location, but happy to have some special time with my willy-nilly, silly ol' bear.
Sunday -- I found out I'm going back to Liberty Tree!!
I'm starting to wonder if scheduling knows that Josh is leaving, which is why I'm getting probably the best schedule possible. Lots of hours, three parks, dining, a wide variety of friends, and some spare time. I'm probably going to start my new cross-stitch tomorrow.
Well, I need to be going...time to get dinner ready.
