The Weekend

I'm tired this morning -- late night, early morning.

BUT .... drumroll ... I stuck to my W30 and I'm happy.  There was a little moment when I thought I might have a drink, but I'm glad I didn't.  It looked like we were going to be early (restaurant opened at 5:30) and my girlfriend suggested a fun bar to get a drink.  Ut oh.  What to do?!?!  Traffic took care of that and we weren't early and no drink dilemma.

I can say NO and do (eat, drink) exactly what I want, but I also want to be "normal" socially.  Refuse a drink at a bar and a couple weeks later, drink whatever.  That's strange to me.  I had an iced tea at dinner -- no problem and no pressure for the meal.

Jen Hatmaker and Kelly Corrigan.  Both excellent story tellers and they're FUNNY.  We did a lot of laughing and learning.  It was a super night.

I have a full day today.  Lot of little things to "handle" -- black clouds produced fires.  It seems to be clearing out, but stuff leftover on my plate that's no fun.  Also, hair day -- that takes a few hours.  Zeus is meeting a couple this afternoon and I'm a little on the fence that he'll be okay without another dog.  I get nervous about adoptions.

My girlfriend and I had some awesome conversations -- always do.  We talked a lot about resilience and sticking to things that work.  And, why that's do dang hard.  We are both getting-back-to-it after being thrown off AGAIN.  Misery loves company??  Just kidding - it's a nice support to bounce things off each other.  Our getting-back-at-it looks different, but the concept is the same.

Happy Weekend -- the heat got turned back up in Atlanta, just in time for me to be outside all weekend at fundraisers.  Welcome to summer (and me bitching about the heat).  Later gators.
