Day 287/365 (April 30, 2015)

Got up and headed to the office early, then helped hang a couple dry erase boards. We had everyone in the office for once... even our remote employee! We had like a 5 hour meeting, rough!

Then later I needed to figure out a way to professionally slap someone up side the head because of something. Then i headed off to home while taking a long walk via central park to get more walking in. I popped into the Marriot Marquis and met up with Zach and Brian for a bit, then popped home to change and met up with Jo Ann. Jo Ann's drink looked beautiful!

We went to The Sugar Factory and over ate the most wonderful stuff. Since I was already on a sugar high from over eating my baked goods this was probably not the best thing, but oh so tasty! We had mac and cheese balls, chocolate fondue, and I had a root beer float made entirely from alchol and a buffalo chicken sandwich that was divine.

The food was awesome and the wait staff were very attentive. It was nice to have our dinner date, then we walked back uptown and eventually I went home.

Day 115/365 (November 9, 2014)

I basically consumed small amounts of liquor all day... not one of my finer moments but it helped get through the day without hurting anyone. The morning started off with Karen and I joining my cousin Maureen (Mo) and Katie for breakfast. It was a much needed happy way to start a non-happy day.

We got back to my moms and after a tiny bit of time we got ready to head to the wake. It was difficult seeing my Nana in the casket and it took me a long time before I could bring myself to go up there to say goodbye. I am so thankful Karen had been with me, she was a great help for me and my family this whole time.

After the wake had ended we went to pickup the food to have for the reception after the funeral at Donelan's. There were so many trays of food. I also had to take on the coffee and munchkin responsibility because people were making it way too difficult. I had mostly Fireball in Apple flavored water all day, but ended it with this flavored Bailey's that tasted like a cherry cordial.
