Weird day yesterday. The time change threw things off and on top of it the weather was very odd. It was that weird sort of muggy where it wasn't quite raining but you could smell it was on its way. I woke up around 8 and did my normal morning stuff. B got up around 10. I made us bacon pancakes for breakfast. That's exactly what it sounds like - pancakes with a strip of bacon in the center. I spent most of the morning updating social media with pictures from Saturday night while B got ready for work. Yesterday was a non-normal day for her. As management now, she got the pleasure of helping the owner clean out the attic at their facility. Lucky her, right?
While she was gone I looked up something that may alter our plans. On Saturday we mentioned to one group of friends that we are looking to move to OR. When we explained why they suggested another area I hadn't considered before. I did some research and well, it might just work. It's not the most ideal area to live but it would keep us in 'the area' generically speaking while still achieving the goal of saving us a ton of money. It's about 90 minutes away from where we are right now but it's better than 9 hours away from here.
When B got home I showed her what I found and we both agree that next weekend we will take a ride out there and see if in fact we could live out there. If it works, then we stay on cast but since we would be so far out we could reduce our involvement. It would allow us to keep our circle of friends, save money, and taper off how much we do with cast. Even if we try it for a year, it would help things. Ironically because of where it's located, we would actually be about 45 minutes closer to Disneyland. Go figure.
B decided she wanted to treat for dinner and we went off and had BJ's for dinner. I had a nice kale and brussel sprout salad and she had a burger. Got back home around 7 and we did some wedding planning. We sent emails to a couple of people on my list to see who could realistically travel to MI if they were invited. We also decided we are going to do a picnic style meal since the ceremony is going to be outside in a park type historical place. We decided on Chicken Shack. Yep. Fried chicken for a wedding. Why not. For 75 guests they charge $300. Totally down with that. All in all we figure we can keep the whole wedding to about $3000. Not too shabby if you ask me.
Around 8 B crashed hard. She fell asleep. I stayed up and played Diablo. I am getting excited for the expansion in two weeks and wanted to update everything so my machine is ready. They have completely overhauled things. I was a little thrown off when I loaded it and I may need to go back and revamp a couple of my characters as a result of the changes. But the drop system is MUCH better since they decided to eliminate the real money auction house. I picked up more in 2 hours of playing than in months. I will probably play again tonight to see how things are working. Start a new character and see how it looks.
Teaching all week. Two one day classes and one three day new class. Busy week with no break.
