I realized last night that if things go well with The Date (no, I don't know what else to call her yet so that's what the name shall be for now) that this will be the first time I end a year of this blog actually involved with someone rather than on a depressing note. We are 13 days away kids, let's see if it can happen.
Speaking of The Date, she texted me once yesterday and then sent me a nice email late last night. She is out of town for the weekend due to Mother's Day (which you all know I hate), staying up in the woods with one of her brothers. The text was more of a I made it here safe thing and then the email was just some random get to know each other more stuff.
I finally broke down and ordered a new atm card the other day and yesterday I stressed out a bit. I swear that the bank used to be able to over night me a card, but they swear it's 3-5 business days. Fine be that way. Because I am leaving tomorrow morning I ended up going to the bank yesterday and taking out cash which bugs me because now I am on a fixed budget this next week while on the road. Makes it a bit of a challenge. Plus I need to take care of bills this morning. I may let a couple of things back burn until I get home on Thursday to see how the cash flow is doing and just to see if my new card has arrived. I have to be very careful the next two weeks since I am out of town this week and then Disneyland next weekend. It's going to be tight but worth it. I am still waiting for that damn check from the state. I am really worried they are going to turn it over to the feds. If they do on one hand great, it's less I owe the feds, on the other it makes it tough for me. I just paid a couple of things yesterday and set my car payment to out a few days late just in case.
Worked yesterday and took care of things around the house. This new arrangement of having the computers in a different spot seems to be working. But I need a better chair. When I get back I will have to get one. I am also not a fan of this desk if I am going to be sitting here regularly. It's one of the reasons I moved things in the first place. It's just a little too small for my taste. But these are things that can hold until later this month.
Did laundry, bought groceries, went to a friend's house and copied more movies. I now have over 70 Disney movies in my collection. On top of that I am through about 10-12 of my movies. In the end I should have a pretty decent online library. This makes me happy for some reason. I guess it's the point of using all this technology for something purposeful? Two more weeks and I cancel the damn DirectTV too. I am excited about that. An outdoor antenna skillfully placed and I will be good to go.
The kid isn't home right now. She had a bit of a rough day yesterday which apparently turned out okay for her. She had requested yesterday off but they screwed up and scheduled her anyway. Last night her and XBF were scheduled to go to Roger Waters which is why she wanted the day off. She also knew I needed the car to run errands. Well her work kept her late, she didn't get everything done, and they were being asses about her leaving. She came home crying because her phone had died and she thought she was messing me up. Luckily what I needed to do was minor so I calmed her down, put pizza in her, and sent her off to the concert. I told her it was actually funny she was dealing with this because when I was her age, working retail, the EXACT same thing happened to me. Except it was U2. HUGE concert, asked for the day, they fucked up, I played nice and worked the morning, they didn't want me to leave, I walked out. Nothing ever changes, does it? I guess they had a good time because around 11 I get a text from her - going to a party be home tomorrow. Cool. Enjoy thyself child.
Okay. Today is a rehearsal, packing, and bed early.
