I feel like right now my life revolves around work. I had been doing things on the weekends, but now I'm just spent. I need some time to myself to regroup.
I was supposed to go to IL these last two weekends, but I opted out. Last weekend, I ended up working through so I could have Wednesday and Thursday off as flex time instead of vacation time. That worked out well, and it was just as well since my mom was in the midst of painting and installing new carpet anyway, so the house was a mess. Also, she and I had a conversation that I'm still simmering over. I think I'm at the point in my life where I don't want to tolerate my mother's bullshit and double standards anymore. As a result, I missed out on seeing Elvis and going to Ron's and Vicky's birthday parties. Small sacrifice for sanity, right?
I took Wednesday and Thursday off because Jon, Lyn, and Lucia were visiting. We didn't do all the things we wanted to do, but that's okay. It was super hot those two days, and being outside on Thursday just wiped us out. We went back to my place to eat, and we ended up taking naps instead.
This weekend, JP and Jo were having a beach party. I also found out April was coming to visit for the weekend. Since I'm still pissy over my conversation with my mom, and it was indirectly about April, I just didn't need to see either one of them this weekend.
My weekend trip with Jac and Lisa was cancelled. I might still go anyway since Elizabeth is going to be around for a convention, and I'd like to see her. But then that's also the weekend of Jenn's birthday and I'm still thinking of going to see her.
I also decided not to go to Alicia's wedding. As much as I'd love to see Alicia, none of our mutual friends are going! I kinda feel bad, I haven't seen Alicia in ages. At the same time, I hate wedding receptions.
