Day Fifty Seven.

    I really had such a hard time trying to get up this morning, in fact, I was almost 10 minutes late to work. In my job being late just a few minutes is a big deal....where I work you are relieving the next shift so you can't be late at all. I felt bad, but sometimes when I'm running late I try to remind myself how late I stay sometimes. At any rate, it was another busy day but it went by even faster than any of the previous days this week, which was good. I also felt like I was getting a lot taken care of which is a terrific feeling to have at the end of the day. When I got home from work I did not wipe my shoes off and I didn't even have time to take a shower because I had plans for 6pm. I decided that it would be better to use my time more wisely and balance my check book instead of trying to take a rushed shower.
    I hadn't decided officially until right after work what I was going to do tonight, but I ended up going to this Lia Sophia party that a good friend of mine was hosting. In fact she is the girl whom my boyfriend and I had dinner with a few weeks ago. I had never been to one of these before and thought it might be interesting. I was actually feeling a little stressed about this whole evening's plan because my one sister had asked me if I wanted to go to a concert with her, but I couldn't quite figure out the logistics....mainly due to my dog. This sister has been away on business for almost two weeks so I was feeling pretty upset about not getting to see her, but she made me feel a lot better about the whole situation because she is going to stop by for lunch tomorrow, which is great! She ended up going to the concert with another one of my sisters, so it seems to have worked out pretty well. At the end of the day I think I made the right decision; the party ended up being a lot of fun. It was nice spending a girls night out which didn't include going to a bar to drink and pick up guys....haha. I ended up buying myself a bracelet and three pairs of earrings! I also got a Christmas present as well!
    I was really anxious before going to the party and I even called my sister who was headed to her concert to talk about it. I was mainly anxious about the fact that I would have to try jewelry on in front of a whole bunch of women I don't know with swollen, red hands. My sister was so sweet when I called her and really relaxed me about the fact that it wouldn't be that bad. She was right, what they had to try on wasn't even anything I wanted to buy, so in the end I didn't try anything on! I did feel a little nervous about not really wanting to overly wash my hands while I was there, but I did fine. When I came home which was a little after 9pm, I did take a quick shower after I had a bite to eat.
    After the shower, I spoke with my boyfriend on the phone for a little while to try to solidify plans for tomorrow and that was pretty much my night. It felt really nice to relax at home with my dog and some wine tonight after the party. I ended up watching a lot of "Impractical Jokers" on YouTube, those guys just make me laugh so much. Alright, that's all I've got for tonight!
