Everyone is gone. So I’m going to take this opportunity to pay attention to myself. I had a lovely bath last night in the dark with about 20 candles burning. I like that a lot.
Today I scheduled all my appointments to be done in time to go to the tea shop by myself. I think I have done a good job about not whining about being sad that the baby shower just didn’t happen. But I was disappointed and for some reason missing the tea shop was a big chunk of that so I’m just going by myself. And this way I don’t need to feel overwhelmed with shame that I’m asking Sarah to foot the bill so my friends can have a tea party with me. I wasn’t sad about missing out on presents–whatever. I wanted the attention. So I’m going to go pay it to myself.
Tomorrow I’m going to go to the second Saturday party I love so much. I will socialize and be a voyeur. It’ll probably be healthy for me to have a follow up conversation with Cupid after all this time.
Sunday I’m going to have a conversation. I probably won’t report on it. But there will be feelings involved.
I’m watching a lot of Netflix. I slept in the meditation room because I really didn’t want to be in the big bed alone. I slept ok but not great. Better than expected, to be fair.
Now I need to get off my ass and figure out breakfast then go take the gestational diabetes test. Then a massage. Then a tea party.
It’ll be a good day.
When I get home I get to sort paperwork. This has been on my To Do list for about 9 months. Sigh.
Oh that’s a major bummer. I remember having a really weak turnout for my 40th birthday.
Moments in life like those are sad.
