Wedding Week Crap

August 27th, 2007 @ 9:20 am

We are just about 5 days from the wedding and I am dreading this week. Not because I think it’s the wrong decision because even though I think she’s crazy for marrying again he’s a good man. I just think it’s going to be a frantic week and I am not sure I want to be around the meltdowns that could take place. I do believe that pretty much everything is done but some small minor things. There are supposed to be about 150 people coming, most from away. I figure it’s going to be chaotic come Friday and I don’t care for large crowds.

Mom and I help Melanie clean and pack up her apartment last Friday. We left early Friday morning, drove the 2 ½ hours and got the show on the road. We had 98% of it done by 10pm Friday night. Saturday morning Rupert and Lucas moved most of Melanie’s belongs over to Amanda and Lucas as Melanie cant move in until the 1st and since something major is going on this weekend it had to be done then. It went a lot smoother and faster than I thought it would and we were home by supper time Saturday.

I spent Saturday night and a good portion of Sunday doing absolutely nothing which probably will be the last time that will happen until next week. The house needs a good once over before all these people descend on the house this week. I’ve got to get my visitor visa stuff filled out and sent off. I should probably get my hair cut but I just don’t see that happening. I think we’ve got to make some sweets for the wedding and tackle last minute things.

I always said I didn’t want a big wedding, that I would rather just go away with the person and maybe even another couple and after months of wedding crap I sure haven’t changed my mind.

old people, good friends, memories and truck fires. (:

I got home yesterday afternoon and I cant wait to spend today doing what I need to do at my own pace. I’ve got several things that I need to accomplish today when most of me would rather just sit in the corner and vegetate.

I had an excellent time in Truro; it was weird going back there after over two years. Most of me felt at home immediately and a little bit of me didn’t feel like I belonged there anymore. It’s really hard to explain how it felt going back to a job that consumed a lot of hours of five years of my life. Seeing R, who was supposed to be out of there last Monday because of lack of money nearly, broke my heart. First she finally looks old after 102 years. This woman always looked like a lady who couldn’t have been more than 60. Over the last couple months the change in her has happened and it’s like looking at a shell of someone who once was. The second thing that bothered me was her daughter N came in to visit and she had no idea who she was. She told N she had a daughter with that same first and last name but still had no idea it was her. I am not sure I could deal with my own mother not recognizing me.. it broke my heart for someone else let own having to deal with it on my own.

I am still here..

I got a call Saturday from Martha, she said she didn’t need to me to come down this week (mon-thurs). She planned to work and she since she’s the only person I have real contact with there it wouldn’t be so fun doing nothing while she worked. I think she was also trying to keep me out of things going on there so I don’t get pulled into it. It was fine with me because I felt like I had just got back here and was leaving again. I hate feeling rushed. I’ll head down there Thursday unless something else comes up. I’ll be staying Friday, Saturday and Sunday for sure. There may be a few days next week but I wont know that until later in the weekend.

It feels like I haven’t stopped for days… and days… and more days. Plus I don’t have any time to myself and as much as I don’t mind my mother being home I wish she’d heal up and go back to work. The days go fairly fast because she’s home and finding wedding things and what not for us to do.

I am busy, busy is good.. but it’s not interesting busy stuff.

On the road….again…

For the most part this week has been pretty dull.

My birthday came and went with little fuss which is how I like it I suppose. I woke up to balloons and streamers that my mama had put out before she left for work. I had walked out to kitchen plugged in the kettle and when I turned around I said out loud “Damn, those weren’t there when I am came out” Either I wasn’t I awake enough or I am getting more blind. Let’s hope it’s the not being awake thing. Everyone of importance other than my dad wished me a happy birthday is some way or another. I got a few little things.. blahblahblahallgood.

what a long weekend…

Thursday on the way to work D stopped to offer me a ride but I had to go to the store so I told him that, past him a cd I had burned for him. He told me that he planned on going in then after being there for an hour and half was going to fake sick as he had things at home he needed to do that day. By him doing that I would be able to go home early and get paid for it. This made the thought of my last day even better. I am pretty sure I bounced all the way to work.

Once I got there I made a point of doing what I had to do up quite quickly as I usually take the first 2 hours pretty slow because there are still people there in my way. I had most of what I accomplish in the two hours done in an hour. So I started to finish up my last bit when he came and told me he was leaving. By then my supervisor popped out to tell me that D was leaving, I would be here with another worker until 8pm. Once he left I would need to shut all the lights off and lock up (set the alarm for the night). I am puzzled by the fact that they let this summer worker who has only been there for 5 weeks hold the worlds lead supply in her hands *smirk*

The next three hours went quite quickly and I did the things that needed to be done in order for everyone to have a safe, happy and clean work environment the next day. By 7:30 I had finished that up and went out to gather up my things I had left in the shower room. I then started shutting lights off. By 8pm I was out the door with the alarm set. Yah!
