I'm supposed to take three a day for two days and see how things feel on Monday. Last night I took two to jump start myself like they recommended and that jut put me straight to sleep at 8pm. Today I only took one at a time and it provided quite a nice feeling if I'm being totally honest. Just enough to soften the edges of life and make things a little less worrisome and over-thought. So anyway, thanks to my new chemical friend, I'm spending the weekend without too much pain. (Although I will say that when one of the doses wore off, my neck was absolutely terrible - but I'm optimistic that it's a temporary issue due to the increased work hours)
Anyway! Thanks to the new job I woke up this morning and had to remind myself three times that it really was Saturday and I really didn't have to go to work. It was the strangest feeling. I had a little chat with myself and forced myself to leave the messy house just where it was and use this precious time to escape our work stress and spend some time with B. Just as we were in the final stages of getting ready for a lovely hike and picnic, the sky opened up and exploded in downpours. It was so disheartening. We had finally found time to spend together and had finally picked what to do, and it all got washed out.
But you know what can really save the day? A lovely meal. And thanks to a lunch out at a Greek restaurant and an invitation for Jaynes Ave and her family to come over for dinner, we had two! We didn't want to clean so we just moved the party into the "man room" and it was great. Cucumbers and hummus, grilled burgers, and homemade ice cream sandwiches from the chocolate chip cookies I made the other day. Great food, great friends - they'll always save the day.
