Update Link: You’re Not Sorry – Part 74

Happy Friday 🙂 We’re still packed in ice and snow and freezing our asses off here in South Jersey with temps supposedly lingering around 0 all day tomorrow. I am so done with winter.

I mostly got everything on the list done this week, including the planned work on These Small Hours! I’m ready to get back into writing starting Monday so yay for everyone, but mostly me.

Had myself a little panic attack over the last week. Last Sunday, I was making meatloaf, so I took off my ring and put it on the counter. It’s a claddagh ring that I bought in Ireland when I turned 30. That was the year I was doing grad school in London, and trips to Dublin were affordable. Mike and Lauren, who were with me in London, and our friend Diana who planned her visit at that point, bought me a trip to Ireland, paying for my flight and hostel. They thought the ginger should return to the land of her people for the big 3-0. We did a day trip in Galloway, and Lauren and I went into a jewelry store where we bought both ring with our birthstones. I’ve worn mine every day since, and Lauren wore hers until she passed from cancer a few years ago. The ring got knocked off the counter (either by me or the chaos agent, Lizzie the Menace.) Devastation. I searched everywhere and nearly gave up until Wednesday after work — it was just chilling on the floor in a spot i damn well know I looked three thousand times. The universe man.

Anyway, other than, a half-decent week here for me. Except  for the cold. Boo to the cold. Bring on spring and baseball!
