So I'm back. I haven't actually been gone all this time, the trip to Cape May was only Friday, Saturday and Sunday of last week. I returned to NYC last Tuesday. The trip was fantastic, exactly what I needed. A small group of great friends who are very good at making sure fun is always being had. There was a little too much alcohol, too much food, too much trivial pursuit and other board and card games. We didn't go to the beach on Saturday because it was overcast - but the house has the most wonderful back porch and the weather was grand. It was on the chilly side so we all sat around and curled up - napping on and off - playing games on and off and reading trashy celeb gossip magazines! Sunday was BEAUTIFUL so we went to the beach - after coffee (lots of coffee). Both Friday and Saturday I didn't get to sleep before 3am and was up by 9am each morning. The water was perfect. At around 7pm we said our goodbyes and I headed back to Delaware. This gave me the opportunity to catch up with a friend who I had lost touch with over the last 5 years.
So I took Monday off - I think the weekend caught up with me. I had a busy but good week at work and then went out on Thursday and partied like a rock star with my new roommate who just moved in last week. It was really nice to go out with someone who really knows nothing about you and has no expectations. (**Normally this behavior happens once in a blue moon. I have to say it was a fun evening). So back in bed at 3:30am (on a work day) and needless to say - I called out. I supposed when you are given as many days as we are they might as well be put to use sometimes.
On a more painful note - it seems my migraines have returned. I'm doing what I can to deal with them and my doctors are doing what they can to figure them out. Hopefully I'm not in the same boat as Karen and it's not tannins. I might die.
So this past weekend was, well interesting. My great aunt is in town for a month, staying with my mom, my cousin and her 3 year old were visiting and well in general it was chaos. We are dealing with some issues with Nana - none health related. She's already up and walking with just a cane - simply amazing really. I read my April blog and it really is a miracle and I have no doubt her own religious beliefs and all the thoughts and prayers here have had MUCH to do with her recovery. So there was the drama of having 4 generations of women (yes all men marry in to my family) with very strong and stubborn personalities under the same roof. Needless to say I took Pai (the 3 year old) on a walk to the creek and we threw stones in the creek. We also went on an adventure across the HUGE field and through the woods. She did have her Dora map to lead us in the right direction. So Saturday was mainly a family day. Saturday evening I went over to the old friend's house mentioned earlier. I'm not sure what's going on here but I'm sure you'll be hearing more about him in the future and I'll leave it at that. Although he doesn't know about this blog and I'm sure I'll be hashing through things on here in the future. I did also get to see his family - his sister just had a baby a month ago so I was in seventh heaven - I do love babies!!
Sunday was a BBQ at Nicole's parent's house as she and her brother and some other family members were in town. We had a great time as always and as always a little drama. Just to put all minds at ease - at least a little bit - I am not at all depressed. There are some things I am not 100% happy with in my life but I'm taking steps to figure out how to change those things.
This week has been crazy, just a little over whelming. Work is crazy busy. My roommate is all moved in. Last night I put together a new bookcase that I love but it took 4 hours. It was supposed to take 2 people to put together. I did it all by myself!! I'm actually staying home by myself all weekend, I have stitching and crocheting planned and a few errands but that is it. Other than that I want to organize things in my apartment.
I've also joined a fall slow pitch softball league at home in Delaware on Sundays for 6 weeks. I've already said I can't make every game - that was part of the agreement but it will be a lot of fun!
Stitching news: Only have put stitches into Coffee Menu! Pics soon as it's almost done!!
By the way, the biggest news is: college football season starts in 9 days! I will be watching as many games as possible that are Carolina games. I'm a huge South Carolina fan as it's my alma mater. I am also a HUGE Eagles fan so that's what Saturdays and Sundays will be for me.
