Not So Funny How Things Workout

 My friend's bachelorette party was a success. As I suspected, she would NOT want to get ready for dinner with 30 mins prep time in the washroom of the pole dancing studio 😐 (the other bridesmaid who suggested the aforementioned plan was glad I suggested the hotel room overnight LOL) A grand time was had by all. Unfortunately, my friend's dad is now dealing with health issues and that is clouding the joy that comes with getting married. My friend just got a new job in January as well, and if she isn't working, she is planning the wedding, and now dealing with her dad's health. When she got her prior job, her mom ended up getting a major health diagnosis as well, and it seems this is to be the same thing. I feel for my friend, sigh. We discussed that it is the same situation again, just with her dad now. 

We had a lot of snow, the garage door froze again, and my mom and step dad had to force the door open every day of the week except for today, lol. I would fix it, but my mom likes things done in her own way and she would rather walk around the house to get access when it is convenient for her. Maybe one day she will need to get in, the door will be frozen, and that is when she will get upset enough to get it fixed. No one else's on the street freezes, just ours! Annoying. Today, I am hoping to maybe go to the grocery, but if I don't - I don't mind too much. Sending love to everyone, especially Sam, Kim, Hilogene and T'Pol (who lost family in the Earthquake and is I am sure dealing with a LOT otherwise)

Busy Busy Me!

 Well, the wedding passed and I got last weekend to relax. This week, I worked, saw my cousin from out of twon (who is in town, ha!) twice, saw friends last night, and kept on the planning of the bachelorette of my bestie - along with helping her make small decisions about our hotel room for the wedding, and booking her haircut/dye appt for her LOL. I love helping out. I am bummed though, as my bestie's cousin just texted me to say she cannot come to the bachelorette. 👎👎 Now, this cousin let us use her Disney+ for free, and has had a difficult life. So my friend holds her dearly in her heart. But she didn't come to the bridal shower and now she is not even coming to the bachelorette (and I paid for her spot - there's $40 gone). My friend is going to be disappointed, because she definitely was not happy when her cousin missed the shower 🥲 

All the while life goes on for me, I think of Kim, Sam, and Hilogene and their lives unfolding so differently than how they anticipated. Send them all love, and anyone who stops here love as well.

One Down, One to Go!

 MY sister's wedding is finished, and it was a success!! Stressful but a success. We had some issues and I hope it is now in the past, but we shall see. It was incredibly stressful for me and I wasn't that involved!

My friend is getting married in 5 weeks, and that is less stressful. Except my friend is particular and now we've been discussing shawls for two weeks plus !! And I have a white shawl from my sister's wedding, and now my friend wants to ask her fiancee like ? Why would he care if I match exactly to the other bridesmaids. It's frustrating, we have other expenses in regards to the wedding and spending $20+ on something I won't wear again is really annoying. Why can't you just say yes or no? In 10 years us matching is not going to even be a thought. Sorry, this is the only place I can vent in peace!

In the meanwhile, we are in a deep deep freeze here today. MY garage door is temperamental and I hope it works tomorrow, ugh. I want to change the mechanism!! SO far only one of the bins has been emptied for the day, I will drag them to the top of the driveway but have little hope the door will open. Happy Weekend all!
