When we were first throwing around dates. We had it down to the 17th and 27th of this month. We ultimately ended up picking the 27th when we realized it was my fiancés best friend's birthday. My fiancé can't remember dates to save his life. His best friend Jimmy, His brother John and His nephew Stevee died in the summer of 2020. Within a 4-month time frame. Jimmy's wife loved that we were choosing between the 2 days and pushed us towards the 27th as it was Jimmy's birthday.

We have not really planned anything as we really wanted to just keep the moment between us. I might have Jimmy's wife tag along with us if we do drive down to DC though.

I remember hearing about your sister on here. I am so sorry for your loss. I was going through a rough patch and wasn't getting on here much at the time.

Grief is weird like that. Somedays are easier then others. Sometimes it feels like you have a hold on your emotions, and something can hit you smack in the face. A smell, a memory, a moment you want to share. Its crazy. I never really fully understood what it was like to lose someone I was close to. I didn't understand, I still probably can't compare to what you are going through. Or even my best friend whose 11 year old son 2 years ago never woke up after falling asleep on the ride home from a family vacation in the back seat of there car. His death has hit me the hardest in my life. I was at the hospital the day he was born. He was born 7 weeks early. I was not in the room when he was born my friend and her son's dad was. I somehow was the first person to get to see him and snapped a few pictures as they whisked him down the hall to the NICU. My friend was forever grateful. I was the first person to ever get to watch him when he was 2 weeks old. Was there at the hospital when his 2 younger brothers were born to. I miss that kid like crazy he was not my own kid but he was the closest kid in my life for a long time. When my nephew was born 4 years later they were my 2 favorite kiddos in the world.

Take care of yourself. Don't let anyone tell you how you should be handling the situation. You are doing the best you can tight now. Take the time you need, talk to the people that best support you.
Some time's we just need to feel our emotions. The hurt the pain, the sadness, the anger. That;s ok to.

I cried a lot today.

My partner flew off this morning, he's going halfway around the world on a business trip and I miss him terribly. Getting back from the airport, the moment I stepped through the door, I felt the gaping hole of his absence and that hit me hard.

I let it out for a good chunk of the day and have managed to pull myself together in the last few hours, and I did some productive things around the apartment and now have put on some music. Little things like that help fill the silence, makes me feel less alone.

I am trying to remind myself that this sadness is good sadness, it just means theres a good thing there.

Unexpected funds came in and more tomorrow. I'm excited to stock up our pantry, freezer & household esentials over the next few days.

Oh Sour Skittles Gummies are good but not really sour.

Work is tough but TGIF. Work has been a pain lately and I'm always mentally tired after every work day.
I'm looking forward to the weekend so I can stay indoors and play Baldur's Gate 3 all day lol!

I designed and ordered my wedding ring today! I don't wear jewelry (feels cumbersome to me, especially rings) but I'm excited about this one. It's going to be a high polish rose gold band with lil blue mystic topaz (topazes?) embedded in it. Possibly alternating with diamonds, possible all diamonds if it ends up looking too weird-funky instead of cool-funky with the topaz. I can't wait to see the rendering.
