Sunday, December 09, 2007 Ok so here's my quick update because I don't want to waist the energy bitching about stupid shit that's over with and in my opinion hopefully fixed in some way or another.Item #1: Going back to work....This was causing a TON of unwanted/unneeded stress because of all the drama I was dealing with when I left. I just didn't want to come back from surgery and healing when it was the worst surgery to deal with yet. Monday I didn't work because they wanted to schedule me on Saturday. I canceled that really quickly because I'm sorry I have thereapy sessions for the next 5 weekends in a row and my relationship with my fiance is fare more important. So I sent them the doctors note...yeah I got one...and they were forced to cancel it all. Tuesday and Thursday were training on our new booking system. Thursday I worked my normal schedule. Friday was my early day and so I got out of there earlier than normal. Item #2: Saturday M and I went to our orientation class for couples communication. It was really quick but it was a shock to see how different our opinions on our relationship are. However for me it was re-assuring that he's in love with me. Why you ask...because we had to fill out a survey about how we viewed our relationship it was a 0-5 rating system, 0 being the lowest. After all was said and done and we added everything up I ended up with a total of 6 (there are like 5-6 catagories that it asks about) and M's added up to 18. After this we headed over to the ER for me. Why you ask....I woke up that morning with a VERY swollen foot and ankle. It seemed to stay there as well as travel up to just below my knee. I called my plastic surgeon to see if it was because of the surgery and he told me to get my ass to the ER immedatly because it was most likely a blood clot. Well after being rushed into the back for fear of me dying on the floor or table there...they sent me for ultra sound and everything checked out ok. However I'm to watch my foot and leg and if there's any swelling, numbness, soreness, or tingling I need to go back asap. Item #3: Still Saturday...we have had a LOT of wedding drama over the last week or so. I have done nothing but freak out, get pissed as hell and want to kill people. So I flat out looked at M and said I am incapable of handling this without possibly killing someone if not myself you handle it please. Which he did extremely well. Now you know me well.....I am a control freak and can't give up control. However I'm starting to realize when I can't handle things and need to give them to someone else. Our issues were these...we were having issues getting a hold of D our site coordinator to put the 50% down. Then when he sent me the revised/new contract there were seriously miscalculations. Such as; 1: Number of guests which we switched in August from 100 to 120 2: Cost for food $100 per person 3: Cost for the tent it came out to $5,550.00. It originally came out to $3,800. 4: Linens 5: Cake...they want to charge us $280 for a faux tier of cake...ie: strifoam, fondant, and piping......I don't fucking think so! Well we got it all straightened out and essentially brought the price down where we know it should be. Cleared the air, and chose a few things. All in all it ended up being a good thing and I feel a lot better in the end. We'll be getting a revised contract in the near future. We also put the 50% day! So we're getting closer and closer to the date and I'm going to have even more moments of freaking out. Luckily we're having couples communication classes every Saturday with homework so that will give me just another thing to think about. We should be getting the proofs for the invitations on Monday. I'm looking forward to that. Next Saturday I also have my first corset fitting....Mike is getting me a costume made corset for Christmas as well as a wedding gift. Little does he know what all I'm getting him with help of his mother....hehehe I'm devious. Ok that's about it for now Love you all!!!!! |
About Myself
I'm a newlywed who got married on March 15,2008.
I'm currently living at home with my mother, husband,
2 dogs, 3 cats, and 5 tortises. We're saving up for
our first how which we'll hopefully buy soon. I'd
love to start our family, but that like everything
comes in it's own time.
I recently lost my father, and am dealing with his
death the best way I know how. Surrounding myself
with the people I love, and enjoying life like he
would have wanted me to.
