4 day weekends rock

[brightbluegirl]

Wow, the weekend was just about as revitalizing as I'd hoped!

I unfortunately spent Thursday night and most of Friday stressed and unhappy. It took me that long to decompress and chill. Partly, I'm sure, it was because we had visitors, and as much as I like having people around, I really like my space to be inviolate, I guess. It's not even that - it's more like - if I can't wander around naked and fart at will, what's the point?

Heh.

That makes it sound like I was unhappy to have guests, and I wasn't.

Anyway.

By Saturday I was much happier. And the weekend just kept getting better...

We ate good food, we walked the Seawall and Stanley Park, we worked some more on Andrew's jacket, I hid a bunch of chocolate eggs around the apartment for Andrew to find (and either he found all 62 of them, or there were 65 as I originally counted, and there are 3 missing somewhere...), we went out on Sunday night, we did a bit of thrift store shopping (but didn't really find anything), we had some good ideas for the whatsit - generally, it was a really good weekend. I even got some work done.

I feel revitalized.

Unfortunately, I'm still worried about the clothes I'm making for the whatsit. My size, although good considering where I used to be, is not where I'd hoped to be. As a result, I don't fit sizes properly. I'm between. I just don't know if I have the skills to make my beautiful dress fit me properly, and I am SCARED.

But I'll deal with that when I deal with it. Maybe I'll just diet like a fiend and exercise like an obsessive, until I lose 10 lbs. Heh. Right. Or I could just stop eating for a week until I weigh the appropriate amount. Either is just as likely right now. As in, not fucking likely at all.

So yeah, life is good. And since this is now only a 4 day week... w00t!

Please don't apologize! I felt bad that I couldn't be as relaxed as I wanted to be. I'm sure part of it is that I had all that damn stress from work and stuff to begin with, and I was counting on the weekend to chill out, and I chill out best alone. It probably would have been perfect if you had come by later in the weekend, when I was already chill. But seeing you at all was important!

I really don't want you to feel that you were unwelcome, because you were and are very welcome in our home!!!

I think you caught us at a busy time, is all. Sorry that we seemed that way. You guys can stay here whenever you like. We don't want anyone to be uncomfortable. Nothing to be sorry for.

Hope Victoria is going well. Talk to you when you get back.

I'm glad you had a nice weekend at the heel of the hunt.

What's a whatsit? That's not your wedding in a week is it??

You know if you stop eating for a week to lose 10 lbs you'll gain back 20 as soon as you put food in your mouth again. Bad idea. :( There's always a girdle! I've been known to resort to girdles on many a special occasion.

Heh. The whatsit is what I've been calling our ceremony and reception. Just something less formal and more relaxed and silly.

No, it's just that since I had yesterday off, I now only have 4 work days this week instead of the usual 5. The whatzit is in 3 months (July 18)

Note that I said it wasn't 'fucking likely' I'd ever just stop eating! Heh. There's no way. A one day fast for spiritual reasons is one thing, but a week of not eating - no way, man.

Ah well, I know you're smarter than that. I am tempted to do something extreme like that every once in a while, but I could never really let myself go there again either.
