Up later than normal because I discovered yesterday I was all confused about my schedule this week. We have to classes with very similar names and I was supposed to teach one today. But it turns out it's actually the other one and it's my coworker who is teaching it tomorrow. I have classes scheduled for tomorrow and Friday as well which is what was confusing me. Regardless, I am open today and need to work on curriculum so I slept in for an extra hour.
On our front things were mostly quiet. B and I did get into a discussion about December which made no one happy. She wants to go back home for Christmas but we can't decide on dates that work for both of us. I am being a dick about traveling certain days because I don't want to be dealing with the masses, she wants me to be there a certain number of days to meet family, and she doesn't want me sitting around bored while she hangs out with friends. In the end we may have reached a compromise that works for both of us. We shall see.
I booked our next Disneyland trip in a few weeks for Father's Day. The kid is coming with us and she needs it. She was the main source of drama yesterday. Turns out that after all this time - what 3 years I think? - her and the KBF are breaking up. He is at a crossroads in his life where he doesn't know what he is doing or what he wants and he knows the kid isn't ready for marriage so it looks like that chapter of her life is closing. Big deal since they live together, she uses his dad's car, and she still has three semesters of school left. I don't know how things played out as they were talking last night, but me and B helped try to give her options on where to live, sell her B's car ('sell' her the car as in she can have it if she takes care of some of the mechanical issues), etc. She was handling everything pretty well last night when I talked to her but who knows how things are going today. We also agreed to take her snake if it comes down to it. Joy. I just want her to be happy. But losing her job and now this all within a month sucks ass. Hence she needs a Disney trip. That will at least take her mind off some things. I will say that when I talked to her yesterday she seemed excited about the possibilities to be honest. I think she realized that this opens up new doors for her. She can move anywhere after she graduates, she can explore the world, have some dumb fun for a while, and I think for once, be herself. KBF's issue we both agree comes from his work. He got lucky in his job to have as high a position as he does at a young age. But it's coming with a price. He is working with people twice his age who are at a different stage in their life. It's confusing him a bit. He is comparing himself to the wrong people. It is probably stressing him out which is why he all of sudden wants to buy a house and is worried about investments, and the like. These aren't inherently bad things and good for him, but it's also making him question other things like his relationship with the kid. Fair enough. I think they can make this separation amiable for both of them. We will see how it all plays out. I told her I would call her tomorrow and check up on her.
After class B and I went to the store for some groceries and such. Got back, made breakfast for dinner, and then B started getting a headache and ended up falling asleep on the couch for an hour. I played Witcher. I am really enjoying that game and while I am not doing very well, it is still fun. I think I would like to get an hour or two in tonight. I have trouble playing games like that sometimes, especially when someone else is home. I feel guilty about it. I know I shouldn't but I do. It's because every woman I have known prior to B would give me the guilt trip about taking up the TV and 'wasting my time' playing a video game. The advantages to having a younger wife. I ended up going to bed around 10 as I was tired.
As I mentioned, today is doc writing, some packing, some more groceries we forgot, hair dye day (yay! and actually I am doing it right now as I type), and some video gaming. A good day planned.
On a side closing note I want to pipe in about Caitlyn Jenner. I have been reading too many tweets and posts on Shitbook (what you all call Facebook) that say "lol I am not calling them that". Well fuck you. The best response I have read has been "You don't say Norma Jean Monroe, now do you?" Regardless of how you feel about her transition, at least respect her name choice. Think about your own friends who use their middle name or have a nickname or who have changed their last name or simply changed their name because they hated their birthname. You don't disrespect them do you? Use her correct name assholes. And keep your opinion about her transition to yourself. It doesn't impact you so fuck off. That's my two cents.
