Atypical & Awesome “Necessary Evil”

Yesterday, I was “in my head” and pretty much overly emotional and in a bad mood. Phillip was out of town visiting some friends from his childhood (with my blessings). But, I was out of sorts. I was really missing Autumn and everything I could think of to do to distract myself made me feel sadder. It was just “one of those days”.

I did cook some really good chowder, ordered a few groceries, and worked on some school work. Around 7:30 pm I decided I had enough of my tomfoolery and decided to pull a Miley Cyrus and take myself dancin’ (figuratively, speaking).

I let the kids know I was heading out, put on a cheetah print dress, my sparkly TOMS, and my gold eyeliner. I hopped in my SUV and headed to Bugsy’s to see Midlife Crisis. When I say I had a great time, I had a GREAT time. I sipped ginger ale, sat at a table with girlfriends, and rocked out in my chair, I had sunglasses in case the lights got to be too much. I made it through almost the entire show. So much fun and so many hugs. I am so glad I went.

Sometimes, when we get in “that place” that negative headspace, getting out is the best thing to do. I don’t like going places solo because I did most of my life and frankly. It gets old. But going to an environment where i Know most of the people involved helps. So introverts, when you start feeling isolated try to force yourself to get out in the world in a safe space surrounded by those you feel comfortable with.

Speaking of safe space, Phillip will be home today. He is stopping in to see Quinn at her 4th birthday party today. He will give her lots of hugs for me. I’m proud I went last night, I’m proud Phillip got to see his friends (and Quinn, today). But, I’ll be glad to have him home, too.

Back to grad school work and other Sunday stuff as we prepare for another busy week. Have a great week everyone!
