Catching Up

A funny thing; when I wasn't working and my life was pretty empty, I had much more time to devote to writing a blog. But now that things have picked up a bit, I notice I struggle with finding the time to write something every day. Anyway, I do the best I can and so maybe I need to accept writing something every couple of days, when I can't do something every day :)

So, here is a review of my last few days. Friday was an interesting day. Jason had surgery in the morning to have a tumor removed from his neck/throat. That meant waking up at 4am and getting to the hospital at 6am. Now, anyone who knows me is aware that I am not what you would call a morning person and yet the stamp on the parking garage at the hospital reads 6:04am. I just want to say, "You go boy!" Also on Friday I had a great meeting in Madison for work that may lead to some interesting changes in the future, specifically with regard to employment opportunities.

I would love to say that Saturday was a low-key day of relaxing and lounging, but that would not be true. Instead it was filled with obligations left and right. To begin with I needed to remove the bandage from Jason's throat. Easy enough until it started bleeding and I thought I would lose whatever might be in my stomach at that moment. Once it was done making a mess I went to take my vehicle to Chris so he could perform the first oil change on Lulu...oh he does take care of me so well that brother of mine :) He dropped me off at my first meeting, which was the second meeting of the LGBTA group in Baraboo. After the meeting, which lasted nearly 2 hours, I was picked up and then was able to go to my next meeting which was the planning committee meeting for my high school reunion, which is happening this summer. That meeting was roughly 3 hours long!!! I then went home, gathered laundry together, organized my belongings (I think I may be returning some of my items, since I won't be moving into an apartment any time soon!) and then invited my mom over to hang out with me for a bit. And then it was off to an Irish Dinner party, which was truly spectacular. The food, the company, everything was absolutely wonderful. I am so happy I was invited and able to take part in such a special night of friends, good food and even better Whiskey!!!

Sunday was Valentine's Day. Or as Alison calls it Hallmark Day. Either way, it was a great day. I slept in a bit, made a yummy (though not very healthy) breakfast and then cleaned up a bit. I went with Jason to see one of his friends and then after taking Jason home I went to the grocery store. $18 in cheese alone...I love cheese; reeeeaaaally I do!! The rest of Sunday was Olympic-mania. The best part of the day though was getting some gifts, which I truly was not expecting. I love them all and can't wait to use every single item!! I got some cute underwear, some sexy underwear, candy, candy and more candy and a new digital camera. Clearly I was spoiled :)
