I'm Still Good

It's only been three days since my last post, so I'm good, and not AWOL. Sick, but not AWOL.

Sick as in I have a cold, which I hoped was just allergies, but it's not, because I wheeze when I breathe. But I saw the doctor today for something else -- regular GI follow up -- and he wasn't alarmed, so I guess I'm fine. Just waiting for it to pass. And drinking lots of tea.

I also made dinner tonight, just for me, and it was good, and I actually stood at the stove and cooked ingredients I chopped up, as opposed to opening a box and pressing buttons on the microwave. A step forward for me.

Tomorrow I have LOTS of stuff to do for Sunday's shower, and then that will be over, not soon enough. Events like this are just too stressful until I know that they've been successfully staged and are over. I was always like this when I ran the junior prom, although over the course of 15 years, it stressed me less because I had the routine down. And yes, I know, the actual wedding is coming. I should be a joy then. But all I care about is that R won't be stressed that day (even though I know she will be.)

Have I mentioned that we now have only one car? Mr. Natural walks whenever he can, including a six mile trip (six miles each way) back and forth to work every day. He will permit me to drive him when it's raining, or when he's working late, like tonight. (It's almost 7:00; I'm waiting for his text.) I don't mind this at all. However, as is usual with his earth-friendly and eccentric crap, he always like to think it isn't impacting anyone else, but it always is. For example.

Sunday. Shower. MIL coming to the shower, but cannot leave the FIL alone. Expects the Hubs to be there with the FIL until she returns. All cool. Except, of course, that I have to get to the shower, too, have many large items to bring with me, and will be bringing along the Sibs, Wonderful Niece, and Niece's twin brother's wife. Hmm. Last night, the Hubs was ranting about having to buy a car just to see his parents -- which I know I would have had to do in the same situation with my parents -- and the potential horror of having to rent a car just for Sunday, but you know what? I think I will just rent a damn car for Sunday. One with lots of room.

Still waiting for his text, but I am calm. A little light-headed due to the cold, but otherwise, happy as a clam.
