not the best day so far
i feel like a complete ass for complaining about my day when one of our neighboring countries is having the worst week ever, which will most likely turn into the worst month, quarter, year, etc. but, i'm not having a great day today.
1: marshall made me run outside in the cold today.
i woke up this morning for our tu-thur cardio routine: 15 minutes in the gym, running. i was actually looking forward to my 15 minutes on the eliptical machine. but no, marshall poked his head in while i was brushing my teeth and said "dress warm". i replied "you're making me run outside today, aren't you?" he says "the treadmills suck". fine. i put on my layers of running gear, donned on a ski hat, gloves and a fleece and we headed outside in the dark freezing morning. did i mention i woke up with a headache, too? we ran 2 miles in the freezing cold. i was tired and bored, which led to absolutely no motivation. the only reason i stepped up the pace for the last half a block was the idea that the sooner i get this over with the sooner i can stop. i was not a fan of marshall this morning.
2: wedding invitations
have i mentioned our invitations are late? they're like way late. yes, they're only a formality, but they are important to this whole process. according to UPS, the invitations are scheduled to arrive today at the shop in morgan hill. in order to pick up the invitations, i needed to come with a check to pay the rest of the balance (even though this isn't the last of the order, but whatever). i realized on my way to work this morning that i forgot to get a check from marshall. at this point, i don't have enough money to pay off the rest of the balance, so i needed it to come from the pool of wedding money marshall has in his account. i spent the majority of my commute trying to figure out how to handle this. i NEED to get those invitations ASAP. marshall and i worked out something, which i'm hoping won't make me late to my doctor's appointment this afternoon (stupid vagina needing a check-up). this whole invitation thing has just taken up my entire brain. i can hardly function at work and i have no motivation to do anything except watch the clock so i know when i can leave.
3: shoes and my sister
my sister is my matron of honor. i love her dearly, but she can be the biggest pain in the ass sometimes. now that all my bridesmaids have their dresses, we need to figure out what they need to wear on their feet. i didn't want to tell people what to wear, but i wanted them to confer with each other to find a viable and fashionable option. i don't do fashion and that's why i have friends who do! i'm very plain in my style, lots of jeans with black and gray tops. my friend nicole offered to look for shoes and research what would look good with the dress. she emailed all of us with a great list of options and she even offered to buy a pair and try them on with the dress just to be sure before other people buy them. my sister emailed me saying i needed to make an executive decision because i'm the bride - just pick a shoe and tell people to buy them. so, i pick a shoe. i get another email from my sister this morning saying "the shoe you picked is wrong. i tried on a bunch of the shoes i currently have and the one that looked the best is the exact opposite of what you decided." she offered to take the blame for the change in choice, but this just really got to me this morning. i wrote back to everyone explaining my reason to have everyone come to a consensus, rather than me dictating bad fashion choices.
all of this coupled with the PMS i'm experiencing this week and the anticipation of being in stirrups and having a metal apparatus shoved up inside of me later today just makes everything grate on my nerves.
all i want to do is curl up in bed, pull the sheets over my head and sleep. please tell me i can do this on monday? even after just 2 weeks back at work for the new year, i feel i need a vacation.
