firstweek ~ I know that black dog. And it is nowhere near as nice as the gorgeous black lab we had while I was growing up!!!
Good that you decided to go to the christening. And awesome that you never thought of picking up through this hard night.
Yes, it is way harder sometimes than we ever thought it would be....no magic wand and all is OK. You know that expression "fake it till you make it"...it's a good one I think. Today will be a lovely family day, and even if it's way hard, I'm sure your boyfriend will appreciate you making the effort.
Which can only be a good thing.
And I love your new avatar.
OK...dinner time...with my limited cooking skills, and limited budget, I only have a few things I can do. It's omelette night.
Have a really good day!
Love V xx
