february

well at least its started. the month that will most likely be filled with waiting, just to hear from the insurance company about how we are going to proceed. however, we've got a few things on the calendar including..... drum roll please..... a 5 day trip to Portland, OR! My wife's sister is out there and typically we only see her when she comes home for Christmas/once a year. We had planned on going to visit at some point this year, but things just worked out so well to do a trip, well, pretty much right now. We found some phenomenal fares for the air travel, the week off for schools for President's week was perfect, AND our need for a literal vacation after 5 months of surgery/recovery/trying told us that we just needed to get the hell out of here. so ill miss work for a week, but the wifey is off, Sofia has no plans, and all we've got to figure out is the dog situation. hopefully between my sister, my  in laws, and a few friends we can arrange something. somehow it always works out.

as for birthday plans, i emailed a few friends pretty last minute, and luckily a few of them are free. so it should be a lovely little gathering on friday night, some bubble time saturday/sunday morning, and then the super bowl! im one of those lesbians that lovessss football. im not so much interested in the million dollar commercials and all of that crap, just give me great football. plus, im a NYer so i have to root for the Giants. im a JETS fan and always will be, but (1) i HATE the patriots and (2) ill always root for a NY team in a big game. so this weekend looks like it should be great, and im smiling thinking about it.

yesterday i was a lot less glum than i was on monday, but that was the first day i had really been alone with my thoughts and feelings about all of this new stuff since friday. so, it seems like its getting better/easier to deal with already, and truly, each day will get me closer to knowing something, and then we'll figure out where to go from there.

yup. we'll figure out where to go from there. the end.
