Dawn's Digression.
Tuesday, October 28, 2003
I opened the advent calendar last night. Holy smokes. What was I thinking? I'll never get that thing completed. Maybe not even in time for NEXT Christmas. Seriously folks. This thing is a lot of work. More than I imagined. But I started on it last night anyway. I have my doubts that I know what I'm doing, but I'm going to try. Because I want to complete it so badly.
Things have been completely blissful at my house the last two days. The absence of all the stress has made us much more harmonious. Even yesterday when we carpooled and I had to sit in the car for an hour, I didn't have it in me to get mad. I just sat quietly like a good girl. It may mark the end of carpooling, though, which is stinky.
Jennifer is amusing me. She is more annoyed than I am about who didn't show up at the reception. I had SEVENTEEN no shows. We had two tables that were empty. You'd think I would be all worked up about it since I fretted over that headcount so much, but it just isn't true. I just shrugged and said "Whatever." If someone didn't want to come to my reception and have fun, that is totally their loss. I'm not going to be upset. Why would I be? I had the time of my life, and whatever made it that, that's what I want it to be!
I'm getting sick. My eyes have been teary all day. I'm constantly dabbing at my eyes. This too shall pass. Until then, I will get lots of rest. I'm okay with being sick. It gives me a good excuse to be lazy. :) Oh, wow. I just really very sleepy. *yawn*
Hey, there were no butterflies on the way to work this morning! Not one. I guess someone forgot to tell them about the time change. :(
I am loving this time change, by the way. I have been having an awful time getting up in the morning because it is so dark. The past two days I have woken up much more gracefully than usual.
