As anticipated, we hated the finale of Fringe. So predictable and left too much shit open ended. The worst part was that because of how they did things, so much of the four prior seasons literally didn't matter. They could have never existed and it would have been fine. Ugh. I never finished Breaking Bad so we're on to that next. Yeah, I know. Leave me be. Honestly the longer the strike goes on, the more chance I have of finally watching all the shows I've wanted to watch. Of course I feel for everyone having to be on strike but a few less shows out there isn't a bad thing either.
Something happened yesterday that just reinforced that C is my person. We were sitting working on our respective stuff when she said "Okay, I am bringing in this much per month, 30% of that is X, does that work for you in terms of my contribution to the household right now?". Wait, what? You're voluntarily asking me if you can give me 30% of your pay towards household expenses?? Without an argument or making me feel self conscious for asking? Dear god I love this woman. In the end we settled on a number that was just a little below, closer to 25%, and it's going straight into my new account into savings. Heck, it's money I didn't have anyway so let it build up. It's not a huge amount but it's more than I am saving right now. My plan is to basically match it and get things back where they need to be. I will turn this around. I have no choice.
The other thing that happened is we booked our trip for September for Art Prize. This year we are going for three days, Thurs-Sat, and staying right downtown. This way we can walk everywhere and be more involved. We're going opening weekend and when we looked at the calendar of events, we made the right decision. I was able to pay for the whole thing in points because we changed from three nights down to two. The other thing that we discussed is as we looked over everything happening is GR is probably the most logical place for us to move. There's work there for both of us, but more importantly there's a vibrant downtown with events constantly. If we can find some place relatively close to the downtown area, we would thrive in that kind of setting. We said this a year ago after visiting and this trip will most likely reinforce our feelings. We're thinking of finding a realtor while we're there to discuss things. We both need out of this suburban hellscape. Let's see what comes of it.
In other news, I did quite a bit of work yesterday. Impressed myself actually. I started to finally understand what it is I am working with in this tool. Maybe I will pull this off. Maybe.
Made burgers for dinner. Had a rough sleep night but here we are.
