Thank you everyone who sent me messages or texts or facebooks or LJ posts for my birthday!! ♥ Everyone made me feel so special :D

My birthday was actually quite good! My man is at AT training for the Army so he has something planned for next week (which, totally new concept having a partner who does something for my birthday. Like what? Does that really happen?!). My sister came home from Canada two weeks ago-- she couldn't afford living in Toronto so she moved back here and is getting back on her feet for a little while. I went out with her, Izzy and my best friend Alex for drinks and food. Which, is always interesting since two ounces of alcohol is all it takes to get me shit faced.

My dad came over today to take me out for lunch for my birthday and then we started planning out a patio for the front of the house. Part of me wonders if I am making a mistake by working on my house... what if the judge ends up saying that Peter and I have to sell the house and then all the hard work I've put in and money I've spent is basically thrown away? Then I remind myself that putting equity into property is never a bad thing and if I do have to sell, this will hopefully ensure my chances of at least breaking even, if not making a bit of money. I still am hoping that I will be granted 12-24 months to refinance the mortgage into my own name (I could never do it now on my own). Fingers crossed. I still need to actually be served and Peter seems to be in no rush to get that done.

I don't need the divorced until I want to get married again, so really I'm fine waiting. Gives me longer to save money and get through school!!

I am officially down 95lbs. For those who don't have me on facebook, I'll post some pictures beneath a cut :)

The last outfit was what I wore to a job interview yesterday :)

Otherwise, things are good. I've been plugging away at a Destiel Big Bang I am co-writing with [livejournal.com profile] angelnovak and we've gotten over 35k written so far. I'm pretty excited about it! I also signed up for the [livejournal.com profile] sastiel_bigbang but have to contact my artist to come up with a plot. Missed fandom over the past few months!!

Gishwhes!!

Gishwhes is over!!!

I had a blast all week with my team The Rainbow-Bombers and especially with [livejournal.com profile] emmatheslayer, [livejournal.com profile] pippin1983, and [livejournal.com profile] keywielder! Here's the list of stuff that we were able to complete because I have been dying to share things all week!!!

Let the craziness commence! )

Oh man.

So, my lucky mother and step father are in Ireland. So I am like, completely jealous. I get to have my St. Patrick's Day beer in the regular old cold of New Hampshire from my couch in pajamas.

While they're there, I have been staying at my mom's house to watch my Grandfather to make sure he's taking his medication and eating and just incase he needed anything. I figured I would be able to bang out a lot of writing -- no work, no dogs to distract me, perfect, right? Yeah.

I have gotten zero sleep! I was reading a fic on AO3 that I couldn't put down, so I ended up staying up until 4 am on Sunday and then the phone started ringing right at 8am and hasn't stopped for three freaking days. When it wakes up my Grandfather, he gets up and watches TV. Which is fine, but I am a light sleeper and there goes any chance of a nap!!

I had my hubby bring me the biggest coffee ever though, and I am cracking down and working on my bills and then I will be writing. Wish me luck!!

Hopefully I get writing done before I start drinking. That might not end up the best otherwise ;)

My grandfather fell down my parent's basement stairs today... Cracked his head on the baseboard and lost consciousness. Diagnosis? Subdural Hematoma. Problem? His Coumadin. They're concerned about his bleeding, there's a lot of pressure in his brain and they've started him on potassium to counteract the Coumadin but now they're concerned about his risk of a stroke.

So, spent my night in the ER, explaining all of the medical terminology to my mother. She is definitely a computer person for a reason. The ER was super busy so on a few occasions I had to assist my grandfather with things that I think he would have preferred I didn't... He had an accident, so I helped him change. I kept an eye on the bleeding from his head and changed the linen behind him. Small things... but I much prefer being a nurse to other people's grandparent's instead of my own.

He was admitted to the ICU so my hubby took me out to get something to eat. And a scorpion bowl (or.. well... 3?) to make me feel a bit better. I was planning on writing my next chapter tonight but I don't think that's going to happen. I suppose it will have to wait until tomorrow. Luckily, I have the entire day off and a new bottle of Pino Grigio waiting for me!
