It's a new year, a new attempt. Let's try this again. Re-re-opening of a blog. I'm going to try small. Couple sentences a day when I get home from work so probably mostly work anecdotes but we'll branch out from there. Today I'm just going to start with how I'm feeling:
Tired, tasked but loved and content.
Why?
Tired because we were up until around 4 am last night entertaining some friends for a D&D session (started at 3pm) turned dirty board game laughter fest. In our roleplaying interlude (10pm) we had a funny story trying to find an open Bdubs near our new home just to end up at the nearest location to my old homestead. My friends wanted to watch the big UFC fight with Rosy and they knew Bdubs was a "free" place to do it. I was happy to go with them because, wangs. Who doesn't want wangs on a Saturday night after a few pints of delicious Final Absolution? Yes wangs, not wings. Heh. We ended up stuck and unable to sit down because there was a curfew and not everyone had their IDs due to unpreventable reasons (not just because we're lazy). So we ended up ordering out and hanging out in the lobby and the car until the 2 second fight actually happened and then left to play a few more games. All in all, I think it was a funny story we gained, scrambling around to find a place to watch the fight just to be shut down by the perky hostess who was only checking a select few IDs (of which we happened to be the minority) and the solution to hang like flys because by god damn, we were going to watch that paperview fight (because who pays that? That's right, no one)!
Tasked because we have a lot of cleaning up to do. Having the first session of friends over for gaming, specifically the involved D & D type gaming has brought to my attention we still have need for some things such as a folding table or two. We thought our 8 person (compromised from a 6 person model) table would be good enough for the 5-6 people committed to such sessions but it seems the need for flat surface space is more. So I'm making a side note to myself to find a cheap way to get more (small) tables. Maybe building them out of lumber would be cheapest? (But storage is a personal concern, although we have some space I don't want to clutter which I already feel is happening...) Anyway it just boils down to having to put everything back in its home and cleaning up some stuff we didn't get to yesterday; namely the bedroom and office.
Loved because we woke up late to try to compensate those 10 hours I need per night so we got a lazy start to the day. But without even having to ask (although it was implied when we actually went to sleep because I pulled the bread out of the freezer last night) but basically without having to ask Matt made me french toast. It was simple, cheap and delicious. Doing that, even though it's actually simple enough for me to do it and I would have, makes me feel loved and taken care of. I think I tell him enough that I appreciate all he does but I feel it has gotten a little muddled with the insanity of moving and the uncertainty of figuring out our roles since we not only moved, but moved in together for the firs time. But that's another story.
Content because it's finally happened. A big piece of my life has fallen into place and I'm actually pretty happy with the result. Of course no place is perfect, there are a few major flaws with this place. The basement is too cold in the winter (but I'm sure will be lovely in the summer); it's cold upstairs so the heating bill isn't the greatest but like I can't find anything else that is really worthy of complaining about. And I got to move in with the person I love and we get to take another step in our relationship to see how things work out and we can get stronger at working things out.
