Good morning! I am feeling much better today than I was after receiving xBFF's "charming invitation". I talked to my mom last night for more than an hour. Her suggestion was to go to the party and hold my head high, because I have done nothing wrong. Other people have something to be ashamed of, but I do not. However, CathyS's "sudden illness" had already occurred to me. Migraines happen, no one would be shocked if I got one.
For amping up my social life, I have volunteered to have the animal org Christmas party at my house. I have real friends there, including two that helped me clean my house before the Halloween party. Having a second party will also keep me maintaining things, win-win. I have not replied to either of xBFF's invitations. Maybe I SHOULD have the animal org party on the same day as xBFF's. "Sorry can't make it, having a party without you!" Ok, I would say it more nicely.
I just left mid-post and came back. What did I do in the meantime? Sent an email about the animal org party saying 12/16 is ok after all. A quote form the email "I feel obligated to attend the other party, but don't really want to. This will give me an excuse." I am glad xBFF is coming to my party, because I have a message for her daughter from my mom. Daughter will be attending college next year, and if she would like to be in a sorority, mom wants to recommend her.
I didn't get much done last night due to the call to my mom. I cleaned up after a sick cat again <sigh>, got meds into and onto two other cats <more sigh>, and got extra food into the scrawny one, who looks like she is in pain. I foresee another vet trip for her. I remembered my very full trash can and put it out. Got party groceries and prescription cat food, and started the inventory. There are a few things left to buy. I had a glass of wine, because it was old and I needed to see if it was still drinkable. It was and will be served first.
Tonight's WTF = swamp cooler turnover. It's COLD in my house at night. WTF at payroll is change how contract numbers and amounts are handled in the food bank database.
