some things that need doing

Here, in no particular order, is a list of stuff I need to do. Thrilling, I know.

1. Clean my bathtub
2. Buy my mother a (very) belated birthday gift
3. Fix an important yet broken car part that is dragging in the street
4. Fit into a rather tizzight bridesmaid dress by next weekend
5. Stop eating (kidding, mom)
6. Find an apartment that digs Franny that cat
7. Send in the f#$%ing credit card payment damnit

I've been walking nearly every day with bridie. It's great - we get our exercise, we get caught up on day-to-day crap and we just talk. Talk and talk. It's probably the best thing I can do for myself right now, plus it's helping me sleep at night, I feel better and the aforementioned bridesmaid dress is looking better and better by the day. It's so wonderful to have a good friend here, one who is funny and wise and smart and awesome. It's been the best therapy ever. Thanks, Bridie!

Oh yes. And the bachelorette party. My friend amy asked me, "did you get picked up?" and I reliped "Well... it's funny you use that term, 'picked up,' because I was literally picked up. Off the ground. Against my will. There's actually a photograph."

Here's to going back into the fray.
