Spent time with my Mother In Law yesterday, a fantastic woman I just do not see enough. I was hungover and bitchy, and she still managed to be nice, funny, kind, and mellow to me, even though I spent the first half of our visit laying on the couch and praying for death.

I watched Amber and Andrew get married this weekend. It was special, and I'm glad we got to be a part of it. Amber doesn't have female friends here, not close ones, and she didn't have the benefit of lovely women who were her brains for her on her special day. I tried to be that as best as I could, but I got off an 8 hour shift at 3, came home, showered, changed into a dress, did some quick makeup, called around and arranged for Drennan to pick up birdseed and asked Amber a few questions, got John organized right when he walked in the door at 4, and headed back out to help them. We didn't come home till 1 a.m., so I spent NO time in my house on Saturday.

The wedding was quick and sweet, the dinner was delicious, though overpriced, and the couple was glowing with happiness and love. The afterparty was OUTRAGEOUS, EVERYONE was at Cap Hansen's and we drank like liquor was going out of style. I blacked out. Things are fuzzy. John tells me I wasn't too embarrassing and that I wasn't an asshole, which is good because I have a tendency to get loose lipped and dumb when I'm drinking.

I am up, doing laundry, showered, and pets taken care of. John starts his first 10 hour shift today at T-Mo. I am worried he is going to hate it. He took this shift so he could have more time off with me, and I am grateful he did it, but am really concerned he is going to make himself unhappy because of it. I am going to finish picking up and doing some laundry before I head out, and hopefully that will make coming home a bit easier on him, knowing he doesn't need to do anything tonight. I think we're going to work it so that I make dinner on the 4 nights he works, and his nights are the 3 he is off.

I also have to make a list of things for my business today. I have to get a notebook with pockets for receipts, and make my to-do lists. I have to go get the tabs renewed on the truck and go to Value Village before noon.

I should shove off if I'm going to get all this accomplished.

I also want breakfast.

I hope everyone I love knows that I am thinking of them today, and wishing them happy and time in the sunshine.
