Another day without having to take meds. Another day without having to pop pills. Another day without a tinnitus flareup. That's a big one. Progress kids, progress. Once again, saw B for 20 minutes or so all day. It was a good 20 minutes though to be honest. We have even moved to a point of cheek kisses. It came unexpectedly from them too. We're getting there. We can be friends is what I am seeing. This is good. Even the friend I went to the mall with yesterday commented in the car how he could feel the shift in the dynamic between us. He was surprised at how light things felt in the house compared to when he last saw us together.
Yesterday as planned, I went to the mall with my friend. While I was gone, B started packing up their pins for sale. They decided to sell of their HP pins for two reasons. First, fuck JK Rowling. But more importantly, they knew they had some solid pins. As a result, they got $3500 for them all. Yep. Talk about a nice little starting nest egg for B. I convinced them to put $500 towards debt, the rest in savings. Did I tell you all about this already? I honestly can't remember. Regardless, the process a taking all the pins down, securing the backs, wrapping them, etc, took B all day. I got home around 3pm and they were just finishing up. We went and got them some more packing material, and they are ready to ship! Woo!
At the mall, I got some new shoes for fall as well as some really cool Peanuts Converse. I love them. Otherwise, not much else going on. It was just nice to be out of the house. Spent time with my friend and didn't worry about what else was going on. B went out to the gf's house around 4:30 to study. I had some leftovers for dinner, then went and hung out at my friend's place. We had root beer floats and watched American Horror Stories. I should point out that when we moved here and for the last 15 years, this has been B's friend primarily. Over the last 2 months though, things have shifted. Since B doesn't have time to talk to people, he is slowing becoming my friend primarily. Oops. Sorry about that. I got home around 10 and B got home shortly after. I went to bed around 11. Around 11:30 B came in and told me that gf was coming over because they got into a big fight with their parents and had to get out. They ended up staying until 2am. What happened? Well, apparently having B over so much is causing people to be annoyed because the parents want to go to bed at an earlier time and B being there is in the way and the noise and the this and the that. Kind of bullshit if you ask me. However, this is where I scratch my head. You're 38 years old. You have a 10 year old kid. You're a blue haired gig worker living in your parent's house. WTF? Not really the best of situations if you ask me. I don't get how these people function. Maybe because I have never been in a place where I had family to turn to? I don't know. I just don't get it. I have never asked B about the gf's past, but now I am curious. Where's the kid's dad? Were they married? What happened? I need to know.
We're supposed to go to the fair today. I know B is going to be pissy when I wake them up at 10:30 as planned. Tough. I didn't tell you to stay up until 3am listening to other people's problems. I plan on enjoying myself. Running into people I know, hanging out, having a corn dog and funnel cake. I'm going to enjoy my day one way or another.
