I went to a 4th party at BGF's house yesterday...and yes, I pretty much had to force myself to do it. I didn't feel like being social at all, but I know that if I start holing up in my dark room watching dark movies, I'm going to do it habitually until things brighten up...and we just don't know when that's going to be. So, I dusted myself off, baked a pretty cake, and went.
I'm glad I did.
First, we did, indeed, have a plethora of meats. I had ribs and brisket and pork tenderloin...and some of the best mac and cheese I've ever eaten.
I also met a friend of BGF's that's he's been telling me I'd get along with...and knowing me so well, he was right. I ended up spending most of the day (and night) talking to her...about life, and the past, and the present, and the issues men have. And you know what, she gave me a bit of the most to-the-point awesome advice I've received yet. I'm holding onto it, should it become imperative for me to draw on it...
At any rate, I'm sure I'll spend all week worrying...about where my money is going to come from for the 2 unpaid weeks my boss thinks she's giving me a favor by giving me off and hoping my eye doesn't require more surgery.
Besides that, I'm still awesome, and that's all that really counts ;)
So, Happy 4th of July. I'm celebrating by going to Universal with BGF and about 3 zillion tourists and breaking my own rule of going to theme parks on major holidays. I don't care. It's a sun shiny day. I have a pass. I'm going to go ride some rides, maybe scrape together $3 to buy a soft pretzel, and just enjoy the fact that even though it could be better, I guess it could be worse too. At least, that's how I feel right now, and that's a start.
