Coming Down, Man
I cannot believe how much money was raised!!! 1,500 euros is a lot of money and I cannot believe how incredibly generous everybody has been! I was so touched to see so many friends show up yesterday and I wish I had more hours in the day to spend more time with all of you. The location Adria Wien was absolutely perfect; the service was amazing and the glass house is awesome! Yesterday before the event, I was a nervous wreck. I love organizing events and get togethers and parties but when it comes to the actual day, I get a little stressed. At our second wedding, I couldn't even look up during the vows; so embarrassed was I. While I am an extrovert and am loud and pushy and obnoxious and will demand attention (I'm not above yelling "PAY ATTENTION TO ME!" at the Husband) I actually don't like being the center of attention. Does that make sense? No? Anyway.
Public speaking does not freak me out if I am prepared and talking about something I am an expert in; pizza. But yesterday, the raffle draw freaked me out! I'm a people pleaser so I felt terrible when someone didn't win something. Next year I'm not drawing the numbers, y'all made me nervous!
A friend came back from the event with me last night so that we could order pizza and count the monies. And I was so hopped up on adrenaline that I had to take a walk after. I wish my Fitbit still worked because I am probably hitting 15K daily with all this extra nervous energy. So now it is early morning and I should be sleeping because I went to bed around 11 last night. But no, I have been up since 3:45 because my brain won't turn off. I'm a little worried that I will crash and burn a little now that this event is over. The past two months have been surreal and I have accomplished a lot: Frauenlauf, Eurovision, Fundraiser. So what am I going to do with all this extra energy and time?
I'm not sure but I should probably use the extra time to keep working on my book, maybe try out a few new recipes, bang my head repeatedly against a wall in boredom. Sigh. The good news is that this week I do have some plans: there is an AIS reunion (not my class) and a friend will be in town. And on Wednesday I am going to a BBQ and next Sunday I am heading to the Volksoper so yes, there are things to look forward to. Also, I will have more time to spend with the Kid which is the best part! But yes, I feel like I am about to enter an existential crisis which is so obnoxious of me to even say. Maybe I constantly surround myself with people so that I don't have to actually face the real world. Maybe this is a deep post that I should not be writing at 5 in the morning. And I should really take this time to slow down and get some rest. After my morning walk of course.
I just want to say one more time, thank you so so much!! I am truly truly truly blessed to know so many amazing people! Congratulations to the winners and there are still some prizes that need to be claimed. I will post the winning tickets later this morning on Facebook so take a look when you can. Thank you for all of your donations and prize contributions and for paying attention to me. You all are the best! THANK YOU!
