Gosh it's been a while! I've been putting all of my energies into the house and getting ready for the party, so I haven't been blogging. I have missed you all!

Part-ay!
The NAFF fundraising Wine and Cheese and Corsetry party went really well! We raised $250, plus ate lots of awesome cheeses and drank some lovely wine. Great turn out, and perfect numbers to fit into my little house! Every one dressed up and looked great for the occasion, and I really enjoyed running around and playing hostess. People have told me they had a great time, so I am now tempted to do it all again... Also have made more friends, and deepening relationships at the party too. I had a great time! I have just finished the handwashing and cleanup today LOL

Headache!
I had a migraine last week, and now I seem to still have the same headache across the last few days. Maybe I will go see my physio soon, but it's a mild headache and it's just in the back of my neck/head... I can put this off more...

Wedding!
Went to the most beautiful wedding on Sunday! The bride and groom were both radiant and lovely, and their families also looked so very happy to be there. I was so honoured to be invited! Speeches were very heartfelt and made me cry, and I cried during the ceremony too as every one just looked so happy. Wonderful!

Exhausted!
After finishing at 2ish on Saturday, then 11:30ish on Sunday, I'm dead on my feet! Slept well last night... except for that hour in the middle which was most annoying. Hoping for a good night's sleep today, then I should be most perky. I like being perky.

Friendships
I am putting a lot of energy into new relationships at the moment. This kind of scotches my plans to hide under my rock! Lots of new people around, which is both daunting and invigorating. Have managed to get out of my inner social groups and met more people. It's funny to go from no one and nothing new for so long and then suddenly meet so many new people and have so many new conversations and new ideas. It highlights my willingness to hermit, and I find myself being aware of how much energy I spend where. I'm trying to be  careful to ensure that every one gets what they need from me, and also to ensure I get what I need in return. A bit of a delicate balancing act. :)

Balancing social groups is really hard - I often have to trust the cycle of things and people and schedules that all the things will come around as they need to. And that I will stay on top of where and how my energy needs to go out and so on. I find it harder at times like the present where there's so much less definite/easy planning I can do. And I'm being drawn to certain company, but it's not that I don't want to enjoy the company I already have as well, the lack of planning makes that harder. However, I'm slowly working my way through it and I'm grateful for all the work I've already done to set up and nurture my core social groups that they can weather how things change for me every so often without feeling like there's less love or investment.
