Gee I love being up ten minutes before my alarm. Ugh. I swear anyone wakes me up tomorrow I will kick their butt. I want to at least sleep until 7 tomorrow. Big goals, look out.

In other news - there are times when I don't know what to do with B. To be honest I wouldn't know what to do with anyone doing what she did last night. Before you think it's something serious, let me continue. She was in a 'mood' last night. One of those moods where she was sad because she was missing friends and family back home. A funk of home sickness. Something I don't understand or know how to deal with at all. As Jack says:

Strangers with this kind of honesty make me go a big rubbery one.

That's how I felt last night. It was just awkward for me because I don't know how to console someone in this situation. I don't do homesick. I can walk away any time from anything. Sure, I get sad, but not emotional. Made for a rough evening. No one was mad or anything, I was just unsure of what to do other than say there there.

Spent the day teaching. Rough class. So many questions that I just didn't have any good answers to unfortunately. Made for a long day. After class I rested for about an hour. Not quite asleep but not running around either.

When B got home from work, the kid was here 'finishing' up her packing. I use that word in quotes because how fucking long does it take to load and pack one bedroom?? Oh wait, you aren't renting a $20 truck so you're doing it one box a day. Okay fine, they are doing two or three boxes a day but JFC hurry up. I could have had that whole room done in one day. Go already. I am hoping that they take care of it all before I get back from Atlanta. Rent a fucking truck for the day. Not that challenging. One truck, one load, all done.

In order to be out of the way and not say those things out loud, B and I went out for dinner. We also stopped at the Halloween store. We are going to a Masquerade Party tomorrow night. It's a bit of a drive and we have a birthday party in the same area. As a result, we are spending the night near the party. It was a $100 for a room, but I get the points and it's 1.92 miles from where the party is. We can walk if need be. It's the smarted option. $100 versus driving home at 1 in the morning for 90 minutes. This way we can go to the birthday party in casual clothes, head to the hotel, then head to the party. Works perfect. We both found masks for the party that make us happy. We killed time around the mall afterwards just to make sure they were gone before we got back.

That plan worked, but I think coming home to an empty house is in part what triggered her mood. I did some stuff here while she was on the computer looking up flight prices. Sorry babe, it's not cheap to fly this time of year.

Let's see how today goes. One more day of teaching. I can do this.
