I got to be a part of a pair of friends’ proposal tonight up at Griffith Observatory and it was gd magical.
So, my friend has a penchant for the dramatic. He’s an actor. I’m not saying their names because I want them to be able to announce the engagement all on their own. But he organized this whole-day scavenger hunt affair for the two of them because it was their 6th (?) anniversary, and it ended up at the Griffith Observatory where me, Liz, and like 15 of their family and friends had gathered and hidden away, waiting for his signal that she’d said yes…which she did, praise be…and then we all jumped out and showered them with hugs and congrats.
She loved it.
He had a blast.
We were all crying
It was dope.
I love love. It’s the best. I love these two friends of mine dearly, and I’ve been a big proponent of their relationship even waaaay back when it was first starting, and I’m super happy that…well, that they’re so happy and in love and now they’re getting married. It really something special to be a part of. So, yeah. Congrats to the two of them 🙂
I had a day filled with errands, actually. I did financial stuff, and then I ran a bunch of errands. The financial stuff was really stressing me out because I was trying to get us switched over to this new software system that’s more accountant-friendly…but man, it was not the right software for me. Way too complicated and feature-rich, and it just wasn’t set up to show me the information that I really need to keep an eye on. So, we’re back with Quicken. The upgrade this year was SUPER cheap, so that was awesome. I tried to return the other software, but apparently I can’t. So, that sucks. But, it is what it is. Maybe I’ll sell it to someone else. If I can. I’m going to try contacting them and see what they say.
Anywho…still pondering the writing and how to best handle it, and I’ve decided I’m going to seek out some counseling and see a doctor. It just seems like those things might help me come up with a better plan than I can on my own to handle my anxiety and this emotional block I seem to have sometimes when it comes to “success.” I think that’s going to really help, along with the idea of maybe starting things a bit slower instead of all at once. Master one thing at a time, so I can see the progress that I’m making.
So, that’s the update on that. I heard back from my editor and they were frustrated, of course, but also very understanding. They want me to contact them again when the book is finished, and I’m going to. The future is whatever I want it to be…and I want it to be happy.
So, here’s to love and happiness, y’all. 2018 is really starting out pretty amazing.
