Things have been kind of crazy as of late. Two weekends in a row around the transition from May to June I spent traveling. First to Rochester to tour RIT with my brother, sister, and Rob, and then to New Orleans to attend a wedding. It’s funny, I had just fixed my sleep schedule before the trips, and afterwards, we returned so exhausted it was all we could do to sleep for hours. That’s why I’m writing at 4:30 am.
I’m getting more and more excited as the wedding gets closer and closer. Most of the planning has been done since early March, but I’m still fussing about the few remaining odds and ends. I ordered a veil online, it gets here tomorrow. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to wear one, and was actually thinking of a birdcage veil, but I ended up choosing one that is completely different and perfect.
I want to make some sort of favor for the guests, but I’m having a hard time coming up with good ideas. Anything I buy here will have to be brought to Barbados, and assembled there if necessary, and I can’t really do any of the candy/food options since you can’t take food with you to other countries usually. Unless I buy candy there to fill the favors with. I have an odd sort of competition in my mind. . .we went to Rob’s grandmother’s house for Easter dinner, and one of his relatives just recently got married. His wife knows we’re about to get married and was talking about how she did all of the wedding decorations and favors herself. She showed me as much as she could, whatever Rob’s grandmother had around from the favors, and in my mind I kind of want to one-up that. It’s petty and stupid I know, but I have to be competetive in something, right?
Anyway, I haven’t come up with anything really cool that is useful and not expensive yet.
I’ve been slowly working on a handful of sites. I’ve completed two, for the most part, just waiting on content, and I’ve got one more paying one in the works, and then 5 of my own project sites to start on. 4 of which will go on my portfolio page, well 3, and one of which IS my portfolio page. It’s often hard to be creative and come up with something for these sites, and the only one I’m really proud of, I can’t even be completely proud of because I followed a design tutorial. Ugh. Whatever, it got me money, and the customer is VERY pleased.
I’ve also been wasting a lot of time. I have no idea what I spend it doing, but many days have passed where I woke up, showered and whatever, sat down at the computer, and then realized it’s like 6 or 7 pm. I think I’ve been pretty busy with stupid errands and stuff too, that I just don’t remember.
We got our prenup today. Thank goodness that process is over. Even as simple as we kept things, it required a lot of our time and money. My lawyer was good though, very thorough and awesome, so things went smoothly.
Yesterday I had some kind of crazy attack or something. We were in Home Depot, and suddenly I knew I urgently needed to be in our home bathroom. We dropped everything and went home right away, and when I got here, I had some pretty intense pain, and general bathroom unpleasantness. I thought the worst was over afterwards, but I had a spell of what to me felt like period cramps. I don’t have my period right now. I’ve been having pain on and off since having my IUD inserted, and I even went back to the doctor last month to inquire about the pain. They basically told me if I still have pain, that’s just how it is, and I’m going to have to deal with it or get it removed. They didn’t examine me though.
The cramps came in waves over the course of a few hours, and were severe enough to make me cry at one point. They eventually passed, but now I’m wondering if maybe I don’t have a kidney stone or gall stone or something of the sort. The pain, when it comes, is always on my right side, and that’s pretty odd considering I have two ovaries and normal period cramps can come from both sides or at least alternate. I may have to go to a different doctor to see what’s up. I’m kind of hesitant about it though, and besides, chances are if I did have a stone, they’d just tell me to drink lots of water, and wait for it to come out naturally.
That’s pretty much all that’s going on for now. I just felt like updating since it’s been awhile.
