We spent a large portion of the day out yesterday. We wanted a book called the Dehydrator Bible and the closest place where it was in stock was a town 27 miles away. I fucking hate living out here. Where we drove to get the book was no picnic either. But we ended up wandering around the city as we didn't want it to be a wasted day.

The best part was the drive gave us a chance to talk about things. She has been frustrated with some stuff in general lately and we talked about it. She knows she should be working but it gives her anxiety. She has been wanting to take classes from us but the scheduling just hasn't worked out. We agreed to see what we could do to make things happen.

We went into a number of stores where we meandered around with no real purpose. We did find the book we went out there for so at least that goal was met. I ended up getting a book on FileMaker Pro. One nice thing about my company is they will let us pursue learning something technical if we can show that it can apply to our business. Anything database related is always a plus in my world. I also found a dancing baby Groot. He now sits on top of my other monitor. Hello Groot! We also spent a few hours looking at model homes while we were out there. We know it's not in the immediate future but by looking at them we are getting a feel for what we both find acceptable in a home. The bottom line is we need a 3-4 bedroom preferably with loft, 2300-2500 square footage. That will give enough space for both of us to have a room plus one more. Some of the 2100 sq ft places are okay, but they just don't have quite enough room for the closet and bathroom space we want. That little bit more gives us the extra stuff like dual walk in closets, master bath suite, etc. Plus looking at the upgrades has been fun and educational for both of us.

Got home around 5:30 and B cooked dinner - spaghetti squash and pork meatballs. Very tasty and healthy. Since we started eating differently a couple of weeks ago, I am down six pounds. While she was doing that, I re-hung the closet door in the office. It was swinging in which was stupid. Now it swings out as it should have in the first place.

We watched a little TV, then I went in the other room and did some file organizing and started reading my new book. B worked on a project of hers. I headed to bed around midnight. According to twitter her last message was 1:30 which means she came to bed around 1:45. I always use that as my gauge for when she came to bed.

This week Monday through Thursday is course work, then Friday the kid and I are off to fucking Disneyland!
