Sleepy Saturday
It's Saturday, a plain day, honestly. I've needed to get some time to myself just to think or to get my head on right. But first some updates. When I got back on Monday night, I made sure to get up early so I can head to see the derm staff on Tuesday AM. Seeing them, they were all very concerned. Problem with me is that I don't like being fussed over. It's weird for me, but that's just how I roll. Maybe that's why I waited a few days before even calling them. At any rate, the nurses all came by to see how I was doing, and they were awfully concerned. I went through a therapy later that day, even though I wasn't scheduled to, and I'm really happy to say that I'm doing very well these days. I'm not red and angry (if you have a skin disorder you know what I mean by angry), and I'm pink and squishy now. Mucho mahalo for the emails. They really helped me not go mental.
I rarely am on the verge of tears, but this experience really pushed me in that direction. I hate feeling sorry for myself, but strangely enough, after I made the call, I started to feel much better. I wonder if part of my lesson in this, because I really believe that there's a lesson everywhere, dammit, was that it's okay for me to ask for help. I have a real doctor's appointment on Monday, and I'll follow up with you guys then.
This morning we went to Princess's baptism. It was a nice affair, and it was strange to be maybe the only people of color there. It was cute, though. I love Princess; she seems to have a neat energy coming from her. We spent the reception hanging out with Princess' grandparents. We had a great conversation with seemingly different perspectives (they were East Coasters with conversativo backgrounds and were probably uber rich), but it was cool. One of them was an EE professor, and you know husbandido got into that.
Afterwards, we headed off to Stonestown to get my swatch watch replaced. Damn thing broke on the first day at Hawaii. I was a little frustrated because they didn't have a good replacement, so I had to suck it up and get another watch, but oh well. That's done. Hungry, we headed off to Fuddrucker's. I don't know why we picked that place, but I really like their turkey burgers!
Afterwards at the house, we pretty much passed out. Champagne from this morning and turkey burgers make for good napping material. Now I'm stuck watching football (yippee) and waiting for dinner. I know this is a boring update, but I'm happy with how I spent today. I like to relax as much as possible because it really gives me an opportunity to stop and think about where I am and what I need to get doing. But it also gives me a chance to breathe. It helped that today was a beautiful day.
Anyways, I'll be writing soon. There are some interesting things coming up: the beginning of school, the departure of my program coordinator, and the hiring process for that program coordinator. Tomorrow, we're going to head to SJ to pick up my Wii (damn you for forgetting to bring it back, kids!) and to catch Etcha at his show opening.
Hope you're doing well...I am. Thankfully.
