Started my day off right--by looking at my bank account and seeing that the unemployment check finally cleared. Now, it is 100% time to pay the bills, whoo.
Nothing exciting planned today. A visit to my psych doctor, but otherwise, just going to relax and take it easy (be bored). I have 10 days until my start date, and I really want it to hurry up, because. holy crap, I do not do well with nothing to do. I just pace the internet a lot, going from site to site hoping that there's something new. I am annoying the crap out of myself, so I feel for poor Jess who has to put up with me. I thought having a confirmed date would make it easier, but not so much.
Tomorrow, we're going to go out, which is good. it'll actually be a pretty busy day. Movies in the morning, go to see Dad, then a nice dinner. It's been nearly a month since we went anywhere but to see Dad, so it'll be good to get out of the house for something fun. Sunday, we have two games, which will also be fun. One we haven't been able to coordinate for a couple of months, so I'm going to have to remember what the hell we're actually doing.
Yesterday, aside from the boring parts, wasn't too bad. First, I had the appointment for a taste test with McCormick. I tested a handful of Doritos to see what flavor I liked best. It was simple, and worth $40 to them, so that's awesome. Then it was off to see Dad.
God, I like this version so much more. When I came in, the nurse asked me if I was the daughter who had talked to him about his behavior. I nervously admitted that yes, I was. She thanked me for doing it, and said that the last week, he's been an absolute sweetheart.
While I was there, I could see the difference too. Very minimal bitching. I think he mentioned that his butt hurt a bit twice, but otherwise was very easy going. I would love to know what I said that made a difference. I was not under the impression that I'd gotten through to him, so this whole switch came as a bit of a surprise.
I almost feel a little bad about it, because whatever the fuck I said apparently hit hard? And it makes me feel like I might have been a little harsh. I mean, I know whatever it was, he deserved, but I didn't mean for him to feel bad about himself.
Things that I like February: Cultural festivals. During the summer and fall, we try to hit as many festivals as we can. I love learning about other cultures via their food and crafts. (Especially their food.) We go to the Russian and Greek festivals almost every year, and I want to expand that this year. There's a Native American Pow Wow every year that I'd love to visit. I will be keeping an eye out online for things we can try. Now that I have weekends off, I can make plans to do things!
Okay, time for me to hop off and get myself some pants and more coffee. Everyone have a wonderful Friday! You've almost made it to the weekend!
