Yesterday was a better day than I could have ever expected or anticipated. While I got up early because I needed to take B to work, it was still a really good day. To start, I got up early and took B to work. That was fun. Whee.
No the real fun started later in the day. Guess where we are going in August? NIN! In row J. Bam! I got a pre-sale ticket email on Saturday about the upcoming show. Tickets went on sale at noon exactly. I was there refreshing the screen from 11:58 on. Right at noon I clicked. I still ended up with Row J but that's pretty damn close. Closer technically than when I last saw NIN and sat in a box. Not complaining. I was a little bummed that tickets were $100 each but this is one of those shows where I want to go bad enough that I sucked it up and paid the $200. Granted the show is 4 months away and I am going to go nuts waiting, but there it is. NIN + Soundgarden. Long live the 90s. I was happy about getting seats that close and that just put me in a great mood.
Took care of some work and then picked B up at 12:30. She had a 1:30 doctor appointment which is why I drove her to work in the morning. She wanted me to drive her to her doctor appointment in case they drew blood and she was too woozy to drive home. Since she finally got her own insurance she decided to take advantage and have a full physical done. Why not as it didn't cost her anything out of pocket. She also ended up getting her tetanus shot updated as the doctor recommended it since she works with animals. It did take a while and we didn't get back home until 3:30. I had started dinner at 8am in the slow cooker which meant no issues with worrying about that. She ended up taking a nap until 5 when I presented her with a feast of food.
While cleaning up from dinner, I took the garbage out and grabbed the mail. In the mail was a check for $150 from a settlement on my mortgage. You may recall a year ago I got a letter saying me and X2 were entitled to $300 and I sent it back because it was a worthless check without her signature. I guess they were able to process it finally and sent me my half. Basically it paid for 3/4s of the NIN tickets I bought. Score.
Since neither of us felt like sitting in the house, we went over to our friends to help with a rehearsal and audition. We didn't stay late, but it was nice getting out of the house. We got back home around 10:30 and hit bed.
A good day. Today I have to be in the city for a presentation from IBM from 7-3 which is going to make for a long boring day, but I am really interested in the topic which I hope reduces the boredom. There is an after cocktail party, but I am going to bow out of that.
Let this day begin.
