October 13th

Tonight is my bachelorette party which Siren is throwing for me! Pixie, Sprite, Dryad, Imp and Mermaid are gonna be there! So a small party - but I am still very excited (and kind of in denial it's happening 😅)  Siren is working so hard and is so good with details and has done such a fun job from what I've seen so far! Pixie wants to buy us a gift and Dryad is offering to go lingerie shopping with me later ;)  Not to mention Imp and Sprite came down from their colleges specifically to come to this tonight! I am super stoked and honored to be the object of their affections tonight! Though I will miss Atlantean.

Speaking of Atlantean, I called him this morning and he's really in the dumps. He's reached the end of his week and he feels like he didn't accomplish enough in school or work hard enough at work. I told him it's been a long week, and I feel bad that there's not anything else I can do for him. He was crying on the phone. I don't like to see him in so much pain, and I don't want him to feel guilty. 😰 I want him to be happy, but I guess even those you love have to go through highs and lows and you have to learn to accept that, and let them go through them too.

This week has also been fun - with Imp's brother very excited to begin writing a musical with me. His mother kind of warned me to keep it on the down-low though, because midterms is soon for him, and I don't want to ruin his semester... but he's so excited to write the songs in my musical! And I'm excited that he's excited to work with me! The only issue is that he is now currently a little obsessed with his musical ability and wants to major in music which is making his parents uneasy...
Sorry to Imp's parents if I started that ball rolling...

Jinn and Troll have also begun allowing us to move in! So Atlantean and I have made two trips so far and it's so fun to see our apartment begin to fill up ;) Fairy Queen (my mom) is going to help us move in tomorrow morning and says we really might get a lot of it done and packed in! I'm super excited to start finally adding our personal touch to the place. I know it's a big transition, and there's a lot of scary money aspects, but I am ready!

Also I'm finally getting paid this coming week! (I believe!) It's been a long time. I've worked here for about 4 weeks plus a little more, and I currently have only been paid for four days... But that's just kind of how it goes with their payroll system, which means this next paycheck should be a considerable cash cow, and I would be lying if I said I was not looking forward to it.

Did I mention I wrote a musical? It's always been a goal of mine, and while it's nowhere near finished, I pushed through and got a really crappy and rough draft. It's hard for me to go back and edit things like this, not only because I have a partial and biased eye to the things I put in there, but also sometimes I get discouraged because I'll reread back through and it just seems full of plot holes and unfixable problems, and it suddenly looks like a behemoth of a project that I'm not sure how willing I am to sit through. But thems the wraps. I want to write a musical! (And heaven knows I have the time at work) So I'm gonna try my best!

Also - one of my favorite pieces of advice my mom has recently given me while walking together was "Motivating your husband, your children and yourself will be the hardest thing you do in this life. But let me give you a little tip - do what you love and do it with a passion, and they will see that." I have sometimes been so rotten to my mother, but somehow she is always there with a loving adorable word and a cup of hot cocoa and she means the world to me.

Enjoying walking to work in slacks,
Nymph
