A Nervous Wreck!!!!
This morning at 4:30am, I dropped my mother and grandmother off to the airport. They were flying to Ft. Lauderdale to visit my uncle and his kids...but this was my grandmothers first flight. She has never, in her 71 years been on a plane and she was very nervous. She decided last year that she wanted to concur her fear of flying before she leaves this earth and this year was the year. She suffers from claustrophobia(just like me) and being in closed in places(elevators, tunnels...) is nerve wrecking and scary. Although I don't enjoy flying, I do it because there are places I want to see and in order to make it happen, I have to fly. But this morning, I was a nervous wreck. The look in her eyes when I picked her up said it all, "I'm terrified". When they got to the airport, mommy called to say that Ganny got more nervous so she gave her something to calm her down, but I just received the call and she made it!!!!!! I had a chance to speak with her and she was very emotional, being that she couldn't believe she did it, but she said she was fine and she could do it again. So, my nerves are better....I can finally get my day started now that I know they're safe in Florida and she's fine. They return on Monday, so I'm hoping that that flight goes as smooth as this one. Way to go Ganny!!!!!

VERY LONG WEEKEND
The weekend was very long. I was so looking forward to my 4 days to do whatever it was I wanted to do but...such as life...things happen that are beyond anyone's control. My long weekend started cool. My mom went into the hospital unexpectantly, so that wasn't cool...but she's doing fine and I'm happy about that. I was looking to spend some time with main man since the both of us were going to be off. We had a very chill Valentine's Day...drinks & appetizers at one of our favorite spots. Earlier, he showered me with flowers(calla lillies), balloons, etc at the job(how cute) and then he followed up that evening with not 1 but 2 very nice watches(Marc Jacobs & Michael Kors). I was shocked...I did need a new watch but 2 and by 2 of my favorite designers...I swear he's the best...I'm lovin him this week(lol). I bought him a glass chess board. He's been worrying me about learning to play chess so he could have someone to play with so...for a man who has almost everything, I thought a chessboard and a book for me to read to learn how to play was the perfect gift. He loved it.
The weekend started with me having a minor catastrophe at my house. My ice maker backed up and leaked and caused damage to my kitchen floor, basement walls, ceiling and carpet. I was done...upset..not as upset as I thought I would be but...I was prety upset. Thank god for insurance...they were on it right away and are handling the situation. My house was out of order all weekend. I had plans to have friends over for the All-Star game but that was all put off because of the state of my house. I'm blessed because I have insurance and I won't have to come out of pocket as much so..thank God.
Overall, the weekend ended up being productive. I painted my powder room(I hate painting), did some cleaning around the house, got the car serviced, picked up groceries, paid bills...rippin & runnin but I'm glad I handled 85% of my business. I'm looking at my finances and I have so much to spend money on in the next 6 months. I'm pretty good with managing my money so I'm sure I'll be ok, but I hate it when things get so tight.
I'm back at work today..work meets me at the door so I will be very consumed with official government business this week but...that's what I get paid to do...so I'm not complaining. Life is good...it can get crazy sometimes but over all, I'm good.
