I think it it’s time to panic.
Posted on | February 28, 2005 | 2 Comments
My world is small at the moment. It’s focus is upon one evening, less than a week away…. and I feel the spikey panic claw at my stomach. Does anyone have any pepto?
The weekend started off well. A visit to Taste again (yes, I know we went there on Wednesday)to work on the “planning” session with the Rev (Julie) and the Dogfather (Chris). We decided to pick up dinner, and dinner was divine. I devoured 2 servings of the chicken swords which reminded me of chicken satay with a twist. The peanut sauce shimmered with a touch of heat, but the lemony flavor of the chicken really startled my taste buds, and in a good way. D had the petit fillet with cheddar garlic mashed potatoes. The filet looked nice, and the taters were chunky, creamy and delish. (I took a few liberal bites). The Dogfather had pork and the Rev dove deeply into the swordfish. We also shared appetizers and desserts. All the food…numero uno!
We got home, and D started complaining about his back. I thought it nothing big, except he isolated himself in the house, not participating in our goofy planning session on the porch. I didn’t understand the extend of his pain until the following morning when the pain drove him to get sick. Then, almost in defeat, he laid down in the reading room. I covered him with a blanket and got a pillow, hoping the hard floor would help his back. It didn’t and we ended up at Centra Care a few hours later. After waiting for hours, the doc declared that he had pulled his back out. Gee thanks, genius!. A perscription for an anti-inflammitory and a muscle relaxer, and we were on our way. But, the drugs didn’t do much but make him very grumpy. He doesn’t like be groggy, so instead of relaxing, he clenches up. So, I tried to pacify him (but we all know the extent of my patience), and wound up putting him to bed on the futon where no bealges, cats or snoring wives. The uniterrupted sleep seemed to help him and he woke Sunday a little bit better. He slept most of Sunday as I worked to get the house together (I would have gone outside, but the bloody sky kept leaking!). He sounds tons better now….. he must be healed by the weekend, or I will kill him! =) (just kidding, snoogs!)
So, the ceremony. Don’t expect Shakespeare people. Expect us, plain and simple. But we hope it will be fun.
I have received a bunch of “sorry we didn’t rsvp sooner” e-mails from people. It’s funny, I think my karmic shitfit woke a few of them up. Regardless, it’s appreciated.
I am very very excited to see my family. I have missed them terribly. It is going to be so fun to have the siblings back together. We should do this more often!
As for the ring ceremony planning. Due to the rain, I was unable to erect the gazeebo. Piss on the bloody rain. The only good thing it did was to wash away (most) the dog poo. Thank god, because I didn’t relish running all over the yard trying to pick the shit up (hehehe, get it…shit!! HAR! I kill me). That, and the Goddess was nice enough to water my flowers. I wish they would bloom! They are looking quite wretched!
So, this weekend I:
managed to clean the fridge
killed a few very tenacious dustbunnies
got a little overzealous with my swiffer and knocked the lampshades off the hanging lights
Bought a lot of feathers, glass and lights
Smoked too much
Reveled in the beauty of my new coffee maker – which I think has more buttons than my iPod (and is a lot more challenging to operate).
Rocked out to the wedding music
Thanked the goddess for windchimes
Drove – A LOT
Shopped – A LOT
Almost t-boned someone at the gay Publix on Shine (I swear, he came out of no where)
Met up with Mr. Kuhn at the grocery store and shared our news. He’s in Julie’s class!! So, we are going to exchange info so we can catch up.
Found out that Entamen’s Rich Frosted doughnuts have uncharted healing properties
Did not shop for clothes
Realized I have a ton of stuff to do!
Felt more than a little panic
Danced in my kitchen
Made turkey burgers that were FUCKING TASTY!! (Shallots – the key to all good things in the kitchen)
Things are working out. I don’t have a solid plan as to how things are going, but a loose plan seems to flow better. My solid structures don’t allow for the flexiblity of the unknowns. I like this “fly by the seat of my pants” thing. And I like knowning that on Saturday I will be as surprised as everyone else as to how the thing is going to turn out.
I am taking a 1/2 day tomorrow and I am off until the following Wednesday! YAY for time off !!!
I had all kinds of nice stuff to say…but I have to go back to work now..
