Well, the day yesterday was pretty busy. Lots of stuff to do at work. No down time at all.

I called my mom during lunch time and gabbed with her a bit. She kinda brought me down for some reason. I really think I am having a hard time with this perimenopause thing going on. I'm WAY more emotional than usual.

Dave called me a couple of times. He was heading out of town for some appointments.

I sent an e-mail to Jim about dog sitting this weekend. He never answered me back.

I sent an e-mail to Jenner about the shower preparations and time to leave, etc, and what she needed help with with the wedding. She sent me a nice email back telling me where she was with things and what we need to do yet. So, that was helpful.

I called the dress place about my dress and it's still not in. I KNOW they told me January or February and here's it April, and still no dress. They said that it's right on time.

Well, I don't think so. I need to get this bitch ALTERED!!!!

Anyway, so they are not concerned. However, in the mail Jenner sent me, she said that the shop called HER yesterday and said that the dresses were scheduled to be in on 5/15. That only gives us TWO WEEKS to get them all altered. They said they would try to get them in sooner.

I don't know if that includes MY dress or not, Jenner said she was going to talk to them again today and I asked her to ask them about my dress, too.

We need to figure out the menu for the reception, and we need to figure out the decorations. But other than that, I think everything is well in hand.

I am going to take about a week and half off before the wedding to get all the last minute stuff done, and then I am going to take at least one day off AFTER, so I can recoup.

After work, I was talking on my phone with Sam and I was so distracted from being tired and the phone call that I ran a red light. I could not believe it. I treated the red light as a four way stop and I stopped okay. Then just went ahead right through it.

I was a bit embarrassed. I have never done that before and I am sure that all the cars behind me were wondering what the hell I was doing.

Well, me too.

So, I figured it was time to go home. I did my shopping in about two minutes flat and got myself home. I had such a frickin headache, too, and was just not myself.

I got home. Took some Ibuprofen and crawled into bed and took a two hour nap!!!!

I got up, saw it was too late to get my butt moving and over to Trish's for her spa party, so I skipped it. I decided to do other things. I did laundry. Sewed all the parts of the baby quilt I am making for my niece. I dressed the bride bear that I made for Jenner's bridal shower. I still need to assemble the veil and put together some red roses for the bouquet, but then it's completely done.

I did my dishes leftover from the dinner the night before. I made myself some dinner and read my book for a bit.

I was JUST sitting down for a smoke when I heard the dogs going nuts with barking. I knew someone was home. I thought maybe it was Ivan, but I didn't see a car in the drive. I got up and looked outside and it was Dave, just barely knocking. He knows the dogs alert me to people at the house. I had locked the door because I didn't expect anyone. Usually Dave just walks in and the dogs don't make a sound.

He was hungry. So, I made him some leftovers from the night before and he ate while I sat and talked.

He was just as tired as I was earlier, so he stayed only long enough to have a couple of smokes and then went home. I was in bed and asleep again by 10:30. Not too bad considering I had that LONG nap earlier. I should NOT have been able to get to sleep again for a while, but my body is still recovering from all the changes it is going through.

Tonight, I am going straight home from work. No stops for me this time!!! I want to finish the bride doll if I can and maybe work on the baby quilt. I have no idea what time Ivan wants the house to himself, so I will play that by ear. I need to pack up my overnight bag so I have all my stuff for the morning when I am at Dave's house. I'll just shower there and leave from his house so I don't have to go home and disturb the boy with his lady friend. (If he manages to get someone to spend the night with him.) I don't know if Dave will even be home. He said he might have appointments tonight, so I may be on my own over there. That's fine. I have no problem with that. I will just bring my quilting with me.

Tomorrow night, we are going down to the bowling alley. Dave's team did not make the playoffs (or whatever they call it in bowling) but he and Jeremy want to go down to watch a friend of their's bowl. I said we should do our own bowling and Dave thought that was a good idea. Then we will probably go down to karaoke for a bit.

Thursday night we are talking about having our first bonfire of the season. Now, THAT I am looking forward to. It's so nice to sit before a nice, warm fire and just relax and talk with friends.

This weekend, we are doing the whole bridal shower thing, so I will be out of town for another weekend.

Okay. Time to get some stuff done here.

Have a great day!!
