Yeah, leaving the house didn't work. Last night was not good. Let me elaborate on what happened. We went to dinner with one of her friends from group. That was mistake number one. Number two was the venue. First off B had felt like I inserted myself into something of hers and was on edge because she didn't want me doing anything that would hurt her being able to go to group.  Mind you I didn't find this out until after dinner. After spending the evening with this person I can see how she would have that concern. The kind of people in her group are not the kind of people I can hang out with for an extended period. Discovered that the hard way. We got there and everything seemed okay until it took like 10 minutes for someone to even come over and bring us water. Our server was the worst server ever. He must have been new or just bad at his job. BUT that messed with me. I was getting frustrated and annoyed with the service, the volume level, the crowd, etc. B could detect that annoyance and it was making me a bit snippy which she didn't want her friend thinking was addressed at them. Then her friend is a rambler. Like the bad kind. The kind whose stories have nothing to do with the conversation and you're trying to figure out what the fuck they're talking about. All of this put together meant I was trying to get the fuck out as fast as possible which pissed B off. She was right to be pissed off. At the end of the night we discussed it (this is why I love her) like adults, figured out that while I needed to get out, we picked a bad venue/grouping to do that with, and moved on. I sent a friend of mine an email and I will be trying to go out again next week. Let's see if they respond in the positive. I still need to get out of the house and have social interaction. That was the part B missed. She was so worried about me inserting myself in she misunderstood why I was doing it. It's been 5+ weeks for me since I have had any kind of real social interaction and it's driving me nuts. I haven't taught in over two weeks. I NEED the interface. So we worked through it and all is good but we learned a lesson. Those are her kind of people, not mine for sure and we need not go back to that venue. Ever. Oh and the food was horrible which was also pissing me off. They charge way too much for shitty food. Mind you, they're more of a public house and the focus is on their 900000 beers and booze so you're supposed to be drunk when you eat their food. I guess it would taste better then?

Other than that, B cleaned, I helped. We put away most of Christmas finally. She wants to leave the tree out and I said okay. Not a bad compromise. All of the rest of the stuff is put away and off our counters so that works for me. Worked on some stuff for a client, helped my coworker, and that's my day.

Not much planned for today. Still waiting for feedback on multiple things. Let's see what happens.
