Sorry about the dearth of posts. I had a very busy weekend. Friday night's Mother Grove show was great. We showed up around 8 and the place was packed. It looked like there was no way we would ever get a table when we lucked into one. Since there were only three of us and it the table was large, we shared with two other couples. We had a great time. I got tipsy and the band loved us cause we were rocking out to the music. For the first time that I've been aware, they played a bunch of cover tunes including "I Melt With You" (which is mine &
beldar's song). Overall, it was one of the best night's I've had in years.
Saturday was spent running errands and making final prep for Sunday's party. I also finally looked over my DVD collection and was amazingly surprised by some of the things I found there. I watched the collection of They Might Be Giants videos. I found that I have a DVD collection of Crowded House videos that I didn't even know I owned. I will be watching that later today likely. I also finally got to see the Doctor Who Christmas special. It was really fun and I ended up having wonderful lusty dreams about David Tennant later that night. Yum!
Sunday morning I got up and made the final party prep (gingerbread football cookies & donut bread pudding in the stadium cake pan). Then we went over to
smithwick1974 &
carrie_rapp's place. We put out the spread and then just waited for the guests to show up. And waited, and waited ...
After many hours when the guests finally did show up, much fun was had. I ended up getting drunk off my ass and being in love with everyone. Luckily, I spent most of the evening in the office because I was just overwhelmed by all of the humanity, emotion and baggage that everyone brought with them. Still, I had a good time as did everyone else it would seem.
Yesterday I went out to try and score samples of my meds that I ran out of last week but couldn't then due to the weather. That didn't go very well. There are no more samples of my heart meds so I can no longer take them. Hopefully, this will not re-break my heart.
As for my Cymbalta, I managed to get some but they refuse to give me any more unless I see the doctor and I can't afford the visit. This really worries me as I need this stuff more than ever now and I am really scared of what will happen if I totally go off of it. The past week off of it was one of the hardest of my life. I averaged at least 2 posts a day on my other journal plus accelerated my behaviors (not that anyone noticed, but still). Oh well, I'll deal with that in the next few weeks.
After that, I did try to seek out some help but as usual, ended up with nothing. Since I wasn't sure what all would happen or how long I'd be gone, I didn't think to leave a note for
beldar and he panicked. He called everyone I know except the one person who knew exactly what was going on (ie the one person who reads the other journal and the only person in the world who knows almost all of my secrets).
Anyway, I finally got home and am doing alright.
This morning when I got up it was snowing like crazy. The amounts are not as large as this time last week but it's still pretty bad. I had to go out a while ago and shovel off the porch because it was starting to pile up and block opening the door. It seems that every time I shovel snow now I am reminded that it (along with mowing the lawn) is one of the two highest causes of heart attacks and death. How comforting.
Well, that's all I've got for today. I will talk to you all again tomorrow.
TTFN!
