WOW..WOW Wednesday

Today is my first day back at AmWINS after a LONG & Tiring road-trip to NJ & PA for Aunt Joyce's memorial service/ceremony. It was a dreadful drive up to NJ Friday morning, we hit a 5 mile backup on 85N in Salisbury and then had very few rush hour delays the rest of day. It was very exhausting and draining. Early Saturday we all drove up to PA for the service, cemetary memorial and dinner with all the family. It was very emotional all day and I was ready for bed by 10pm. It was really nice to see a cousin I havent seen in maybe 5 yrs and he brought his baby girl, AVA, who is 1 y/o and an absolute angel. She was awesome to play with and hold all day & night. We all got up Sunday and had a big breakfast in NY and then went to my Aunt's house to hang out for a while. We left there after lunch time and drove back to NJ. We even stopped at Hot Dog Johhny's (a famous stop off on way to Poconos) and had some lunch, Yummy food too!! It was nice to be with family and share in the good memories we had of my Aunt and know she is at peace in Heaven.

Monday morning we left NJ to come back to Charlotte, damn what a long drive all day it was for us all!! Seems it took forever to get back to Charlotte and to my house. I never want to make that trip by myself --EVER. Thankfully, Uncle Walter drove up in his car w/ me & cousin Stephen in the car. We laughed, talked and listened to all kinds of music. It was fun to some degree but I was very happy to get home & have time in my place and with Tigger.

Tuesday morning I woke up at 9am and went straight to Time Warner to get Cable set-up in my house for Friday early evening. I am thrilled I will have my TV & cable to watch my normal shows I like and will also have DVR to record my shows I miss when I am working & all. It will be nice to have it and have something else to do when I have company over too.
I got my mail from Tiffany's house (finally) and drove to Angel's to get my Pure Romance inventory and printer. We talked for a while and she caught me up on the drama in her life. I am relieved I am no longer living there and hoping the best for her. I went to Walmart to get some essentials for myself and groceries, since I didnt buy much last week before i left. I got home and hung out all afternoon organizing my bills/paystubs & etc from past couple weeks. I now have all my mail going to my new address, have my new D/L w/ new addy and bank info. I am happy I was able to have Tuesday off so I can take care of a lot before weekend.

Well Randy just called to say he was missing me and definitely wanting to hang out with me this weekend and spend more time with me too. I missed him a lot when I was away but absense makes the heart grown fonder! He wants to go out this weekend and have some fun and relax, he will prob stay at my house Friday or Saturday night and I am looking forward to seeing him. feel like i need to explain some things to him about how I feel about him but I will wait til the time is right. Honestly, it was just awkward last Thursday night when he stayed over, I know I care for him (as he cares for me) but the mood was not right so we did not participate in sexual acts, which is fine with me. It shouldnt be a necessity for us and I dont' see it as one.

Upon returning to the office today, I got an email from my best friend, Eric, who lives in Las Vegas this weekend. His wife Tonya (31 y/o) had a mini-stroke on left side of brain this past weekend. I mean how much more does this family have to endure?? They seem to be faced with hardships often and it is so sad. Her father passed away last month, she has had miscarriage in the last yr & having a toddler running around is hard enough! Anyways he will keep me posted as to what the next step is in her rehabilitation and all, but I cannot imagine what Eric is going through right now. He is pretty much going to be mom & dad for a bit here. I feel for him and hope he will be able to get through this and know it is out of hs hands and God will take over.

I have been feeling not quite myself since Saturday, i think it has to do with the Memorial, the memory of Aunt Joyce and knowing life is very unpredictable. I am feeling a lot of sadness and emptiness I havent felt in a long while. But I know this will pass and life goes on. I should be happy and enjoying my new life and moving forward to make better for myself.

Well I am off for the night....sweet dreams to all..IWhen I get home tonight, I will be making meatballs, sauce & pasta tonight for dinner...yum yum... My g/f who is having a baby in October will be coming over tomorrow so I am prepping for dinner. Catch ya later..Bye
