Wow!! What a difference some sleep will do for ya!!!

I FINALLY got a good night's sleep last night. I fell asleep at a little after 11:00 and knew nothing until my alarm went off at 5:30 this morning.

Work yesterday was okay. Nothing exciting. Nothing thrilling. Just an average, everyday, run of the mill day.

I did get a call from Jenner in the morning. I could tell from her tone and mood that she knows nothing about the restraining order. I asked her if she had time for me to sit down and talk to her. Her immediate response was, "Did I do something wrong?" She's so funny. She has ALWAYS asked that if I tell her I want to talk to her. I reassured her that, no, she did nothing wrong, but that I just wanted to talk to her about things going on. She was okay with that. She said she was going to stop by today after work and pick up the zucchini Dave got for her and I think I may have a few minutes to explain this crap to her. Everyone tells me I need to talk to her to let her know that I did not put this restraining order against her father on a whim. That he has been harassing me for MONTHS and he just pushed me too far this time.

I can take the calls. I can take the emails. I can take him texting my boyfriend. But what I can't take is him breaking into my residence and ruining my whole sense of security and safety. That was the last straw.

Anyway, so I hope to have a bit of time to talk to her and I hope she understands.

After work, I went straight home and Dave's car was in his driveway. I thought he had an appointment and so was surprised to see his car. I didn't see HIM around, though, so I went home and took care of the dogs. I was letting them back in and he scared me. He showed up out of the blue and I jumped a mile. I think I am still a little jumpy from last week's events and just seeing someone appear really gave me a start.

We gabbed for a bit and then he went home. I had to get in the shower and have something to eat before April picked me up and we went to Trish's for her Pampered Chef party.

I went to Trish's and it was just okay. I am really NOT a big fan of those home party thingies, but it was entertaining enough and the food was good. I wasn't that hungry so I didn't eat too much.

I bought a couple of things and April and I went back home. She dropped me off at Dave's, which was silly, since I didn't ask her to. I just wanted to go home and take care of my dogs. So, I went into Dave's house, got a quick kiss and then just kept walking to the other door to go home.

Came back and we talked for a bit. Doug and April came down later and we sat on the deck until 10:00.

Dave and I had texted April earlier that we had BIG NEWS to share with her and Doug later so they wanted to know what that was about.

Dave and I were just playing a trick on them and told them that we had decided to try to have a baby.

Too funny!! We totally had April going on that one!! She actually got so excited about the idea that I felt guilty and told Dave later that I felt like we HAD to try to have a baby now, since April was so excited!! Too funny!! We had then going for quite some time before I finally let her off the hook.

Then I went to bed and had, as I said, the best sleep ever!!!!

Woke up this morning. Did my morning stuff and got a text from Dave saying coffee was on. Ran over there and had a cup. Then it was off to work.

Tonight I am going to Sam's for dinner. I need to hit Wally World on my way home to pick up some stuff.

I told Dave that I decided to stay home tomorrow night to spend time with him instead of going out and he kept telling me to go. I said it was his last night and I KNOW he wants me to spend it with him before he goes. So, that is what I am doing.

He kept asking us ladies last night if we were going to miss the guys and we said we would. Then he said that he was going to miss me so much that he almost canceled his trip. April said he was lying and I had to confirm it, that he was indeed thinking that. He had been coming up with one excuse after another for NOT going on this trip but I kept telling him to go. It will be good for him. He worries too much and needs to relax a bit.

I made him promise NOT to worry about me at all while he was gone. He is a bit worried about MY state of mind and now that things are settling down again, he will be fine.

And so will I.

I mean, we are talking a FIVE day trip. It's not as if he is going to be gone for a month!!!! Just five days. Big deal. Yes, I will miss him, but it's not THAT bad!!!

It will be fine, Dave.

I'm actually looking forward to him being gone. I will be able to get some stuff done around the house, have a whole weekend to myself, and I can relax a bit, too.

Oh, and the ladies are all planning a night out on Saturday evening. There is a street dance in town that we are going to. Now, THAT should be fun!!!!

Okay. Time to get moving. I have lots of files coming in from Bossy Man!!!!
