raloriaHi Flist.
I wanna thank all of you who commented on my sad graduation/birthday post the other day. It was a pretty depressing day and I shed quite a few tears. You're all super awesome for caring so much to wish me well and send your hugs and hearts my way. This is why I have the best Flist in the world. You always come through to pick me up when I'm at my lowest and I'm so very thankful. *envelopes flist in a huge bear hug*
Now, for the latest news about the situation...
Bad news first:
* My cousin K and my best friend GeckoGirl can't come to the graduation due to previous commitments. This sucks. Big time. The two most important people to me besides my mom, who have endlessly supported me during my college years won't be there to close it out. Rationally, I know it's just circumstances and fate, if you wanna think that way. I really let them know too late, so it's sorta my fault, too. But my heart is still kinda bitter over the whole thing. I really wanted them both there for a lot of reasons. So the day will not be what I wanted because of it. *pouts a little*
* My mom is insisting on going, even without using a wheelchair. This means she'll be sitting on those damned bleacher seats for who knows how many hours. I've tried making her see reason, but she's very stubborn. Says she'll tough it out and bring a cushion....which won't save her back from aching without a backrest. I keep wondering if they'd allow her to bring a lawn chair to sit in. At least she'd be half way comfortable then.
Now the good news:
* We asked my aunt and uncle the other night if they wanted to go and they said "yes". So they'll be coming with us and sitting on those bleacher seats, too. They said they can handle it for a few hours. I certainly hope so. I appreciate them wanting to come, even if I sorta didn't want them there at first. At least now I won't have to attend the ceremony alone, which was a mighty depressing thought. It'll be good to have someone there for me when my name is called. :)
* Since all three tickets are taken now, I won't need any extras. Which means I don't have to go to the college early Thursday morning for more tickets. I gladly would have gone if my cousin and best friend could have come, but I'm glad I don't have to bother now. I'm not a morning person and dragging myself up at the crack of dawn (or before....long drive there) is not my idea of fun.
So there you have it. It won't be the horrible day I was expecting yesterday, but it also probably won't be as great as it could have been with everyone I wanted there to celebrate with me. Such is life, right? Sometimes you just gotta compromise.
Big, huge thanks again for all of your hugs and helpful words. :D I hope to have a lot of photos of the day to share with all of you. Just think...this might just be the biggest birthday party I'll ever have. LOL! My aunt's even threatened to yell out "Happy Birthday!" when I'm called up there. Silly woman....she's the type that just might do it, too. :P
