Bleargh.

Some mornings, you just don't want to get up. I knew yesterday that the monthly visitor was imminent (considering what a royal bitch I was) but it still sucks ass when it arrives. Am tired, in that "a-truck-ran-over-my-torso" way, as per usual for the first day. Some days, I hate being a girl. Also, I have a huge fucking fever blister. Fucking herpes virus.

Despite my overall level of cranky yesterday, we got a lot done, including some grocery shopping, a run around Loyola college to see what it's like, stopping at a few apartment complexes, picking up prescriptions, and getting gas (*wince* My god, I want a hybrid).

Loyola is a lovely school, and oddly, it seems that their GLBT group is considerably more active than the one at Towson. It's very cool, yet kind of funny, considering y'know, Jesuit school. We picked up all the paperwork, and some info packets on the school. It looks very nice, and like it might be a good fit for Jess.

As far as the apartment complexes, we might have found the one. Rodger's Forge Apartments was amazing, and not horribly expensive. It's got more space than any two people would need-more than enough to have people over for dinner, or to have the coven over for business meetings, or to have students visit (should we ever get a couple more). It would be nice to have enough room to have our desks in a corner with bookshelves and possibly a nice table to lay out timeline and research materials, yet still have plenty of room for an actual living room area.

And now...


Yesterday was also the fifth anniversary of one of the most important days of my life.

Thank you for five wonderful years, my love. We've had good times, bad times, and everything in between, but I wake up every day knowing that I'm loved, and cherished. I hope that I make you feel the same. Here's to a lifetime of love, mi alma. I look forward to the next five years...and beyond. *kiss* I love you, my friend, my partner in crime, my co-author, the live of my life, my wife.

i know this isn't going to make you feel any better, but when i left, gas was $2.28 at the cheapest station I could find. Ouchie. I know it won't make you feel any better, because I know that in Europe they pay the equivalent of like $5 a gallon, but dude, they *have* public transportation alternatives that work effectively. We don't. So we're stuck paying it without an option. And I still get canky handing over my $2.28 and going, um, is the loan check here yet?

Which I suppose is my way of saying that I feel your pain.

RE: Loyola and the Jesuits. Dude, the Jesuits are cool. No, really. They've always had this totally iconoclastic streak of telling the mainline, less liberal Catholic church to fuck off. The Jesuits are one of the most relentlessly intellectual religious organizations I've ever seen anywhere, and as far as I can tell they generally embody most of the good shit of the Catholic church with very little of the bad. And Jesuit schools have that streak in a big way. They often end up as not the kind of Catholic school you'd think them to be. ::shrugs:: Just a thought.

Hope you guys have a good day.

*hug* I sympathize with the "fuck my uterus" sentiments. Thank God it only lasts a week.

Happy anniversary to you and Jess. It's just so wonderful to see how in love and happy you two are. :)

Yay, schmoop! =D

Congrats on 5 years!

Isn't it interesting that Loyola seems much better than Towson? It's like you guys should be involved there from the start. Gee, go figure. ;)

*hugs*

Congrats on 5 years! That's great. I hope you both have a good day and enjoy yourself. Apartment shopping is hard, make sure you guys get what you want, that has the most potential. :)
