ANA Y2 D172

It's currently 32 degrees outside. Freezing to be accurate. But you know what? Not in here baby! We have heat again! I was a little worried last night because our window was 12-4:30 and 4:30 came and went without a peep from them. I called at 5 for an update and was about to call again at 6 when at 5:45 the tech finally called. He got here about 5-10 minutes later. Our flame sensor needed replacing? Okay. Total out of pocket cost? $20 that I tipped him. That's it. Granted I have paid into my warranty program about $1100 over the last five years, but if it had been something more serious, that $1100 wouldn't even touch a furnace issue. I know this because the exgf had their service call yesterday and their heater is kaput. They're looking at $5000. So yeah, I will take my $20 and a bottle of water and a $20 a month charge thank you very much. We are toasty and happy. 

I spent the first part of the day recording, will do the same today. I have a 2-4 meeting today so I am not rushing to start. Made Italian hot beef sandwiches for dinner last night. Watched some tv, had some sexy time because we were happy to have heat, and went off to bed. Other than the heater, nothing exciting. That's okay. 

Just a little side note. I am still overall happy. Mostly, I am happy in my relationship. It's been over a year and I still have the urge and desire to be with my partner. To kiss them, to hold their hand, to be around them, etc. All the things you're supposed to want to do with your partner. It's well past any infatuation phase. It's settled down, in love. It's a new weird concept for me. I think about how I felt about past relationships and they didn't even come close. There was always some underlying tension or secret or issue. I know that sounds crazy, but in the past I was in relationships for a "reason" and not because I actually loved my damn partner. Not like this. Platonic feelings? Sure. For the most part, I liked my partners. Now I am talking not just spouses, but people I dated too. There was never this kind of feeling. I'm sorry it took me so long to find this, but in the end, I'm happy I did. So yeah, I am okay. Life gets frustrating, work gets frustrating, but for the first time, I have someone I can depend on, count on, and hold me when shit gets too real. I'm okay.
