Jun. 8th, 2012 02:15 amI am so excited, like starry eyed and GIDDY, that I have NO REASON WHATSOEVER to get up early tomorrow, and nowhere to be during the day. The only thing I have to do before evening is feed us.
*sigh of happiness*
My whole life tends to be such a constant tug-a-war between a whole lot of different things that all present as top priorities.
I feel like if I was you, I would hate this; but since I'm me, it's helpful and affirmative, so. You have to look at it, at least until you can rapid-scroll or close the tab:
TODAY, I got up in a flash of despair at 6 am, but somewhere in the trip to take Grant to the train station ended up making jokes and ok, and after a lot of really questionable LOUD music once it was just me in the van (Skrillex White Zombie, I was really out of it ok?) I felt alright.
Came home, washed some dishes, made coffee, cooked bacon and eggs, washed more dishes, went around the house waking up all my kids, sat down to breakfast with them, got Elise ready, took her and Isaac to her preschool drop off. Because today was her last day - a Thursday? The week after graduation? Don't ask me. They had a party, though, and Ms Denise was crying at pick up time and we're going to frame her little diploma :)
I took Isaac to exchange his dollar for quarters and then use them at the quarter machines like he's been BEGGING TO for days, and bought a money order I needed, and then we went through the drive thru atm and then the drive thru bank lines...because the way student aid money is deposited is really convoluted to get out of the very inconvenient account and you have to jump through a lot of hoops to move it around. But there are a lot of free lollipops involved.
Had a phone call with my publisher about copyright and DBAs and pseudonyms and galley copies and headshot pics and took Isaac home. Putzed around the tiniest bit in and amongst browsing used cars on craigslist, and making several car-related phone calls, sending a few texts and an email. My mother called with more harrowing stories of my Nana's seeming journey into delusional craziness...it's really awful to witness, even if it is not first person.
Took Ananda to go pick Elise up, and the three of us went to the DMV, to get her picture ID so that the tattoo parlor will do an actual needle (as opposed to gun; see previous entry) piercing on her ears. Came home and dropped them and took Aaron, who came with me to BJ's to do heavy lifting and hang out together, and have a detour for a treat from the health food store.
Rushed home making calls to the kids to be ready, put away cold groceries only, and sped up to PATH JUST in time due to needing more gas, for Isaac to make it to his PE class. Kids had fun and I sat texting with (seriously) my mom, Grant's mom, Dama, Nancy, Kathy, Jess, and Kristin. I had a good phone conversation with Kristin too and think I have a couple of weekend dates, now. Jake's friend Jake brought them all party favor bags from a party last Saturday that were pretty impressive.
Left slightly early, took Annie and got her ears done - she did great, though I thought she might pass out for a minute there. Another publisher convo about my bio information, the merits of tweeting (THEY REALLY WANT ME ON TWITTER) and a couple of other things. Got a replacement nose screw because mine fell out while I was drying my face, the other night, and I never found it and have been using a much more fiddlesome and annoying ring ever since as a placeholder. Though the ring is growing on me.
Got Grant from the train station. Drove home talking about his day and news of my friends (Jess is platinum blonde?) Washed some dishes while he cooked (french dip loaded with seared mushrooms and cold cranberry pomegranate juice - BRING IT). Then set kids up with movies and he and I watched Game of Thrones while he was all nice and massaging me, and then we had some Private Time, and then I came out here to get the kids in bed and to waste time on tumblr and just bask in the freedom that is NOT ONE DAMNED THING TO BOTHER WITH TOMORROW!!!!
Really, though. Can you imagine?
It's just so wonderful.
