On Thursday I returned to work, no more bed-rest. Admittedly, my bookstore job is only four hour shifts and I sit for most of it. I’m at work right now, actually, so you can tell its incredibly trying for my body.
Anyway, I’m beginning to feel cheerful again. I’m not bogged down by loss. I know I still haven’t scraped the surface of grief for the miscarriage. I have too much to do with a wedding in fourteen days to spare emotion. My that sounds strange to “say aloud”. Tonight is my hen party and James’ stag. A lot of our closest friends are going to take us out and celebrate our soon-to-be nuptials. I very much hope we can all reconvene before the night ends because a lot of the guys are my close friends as well and I don’t see too much of a point in a gender dividing line.
Especially now that my state is coming to close to approving a gay marriage bill! I’ve signed petitions and mouthed off about this for years and I am so pleased to see progress! I have friends who have made this their career and I can only imagine the joy and hope they feel — and I’m sure the fear that this could all come crashing back down, as the vote in the house was soclose. But this gives me more hope that by my first wedding anniversary I can know that a couple can wed in my hometown regardless of the sexual organs, because we all know that that is what truly makes a difference in the character of a person.
So let’s see, what else has happened in this busy time? Oh, James turned 29 on Thursday. With the wedding being so close and obviously our parties tonight we thought it would be a good idea to postpone birthday party until the spring/summer. He’s never had a birthday in June so, hey! But I couldn’t completely ignore his big day, so I made a few little decorations out of paper and some thread. I have to remember to put twine on my shopping list, I searched for twenty minutes and had to resort to my sewing box. I should have noticed that the framed photos were askew, ah well.
