The big day

This is it!!! The day I've been dreading for a year now. It's here, and I'm ok. In fact, I'm better than ok. I'm disturbingly chipper.(even before taking my Prozac) It may be a manic episode, but it's better than lying in bed crying, so I'll take it.
I was up before 6am this morning. I sent a text to my baby sister, called my brother and dad and emailed my other sister. All before 7am!! Everyone seems to be doing ok. We are having dinner together tonight. I'm really looking forward to it.
This morning, I couldn't handle being up by myself anymore so I woke DH. I told him I needed Starbucks, but I didn't want to be home alone, so I decided to go with him to get it. In my pj's. When we got there, there was an IHOP across the street. I decided I wanted breakfast there. He said "No, you aren't dressed". I used the July 18th "I can do whatever I want" card. It worked. I went in and got some interesting looks, very funny!! Breakfast was gross. I haven't eaten at IHOP in over a decade and can safely wait at least another decade. Very fitting for today though.
I'm getting my tattoo at 2pm. I'm really nervous, but also super excited. I love my design. DH has added a bit to his. I think it's going to be awesome!! I'll post pics of them asap.
