Our Anniversary / Valentines Planning
First off today is the 2 year anniversary of the day Josh and I got together. Hooray!!! 2 years. Can you believe it?
For those who've known me a while, and since I came out, Ive gone through MANY dates (ok sex, flings, etc... but always looking for the right one). As some people would call it "rolls of toilet paper". Thats a story in its own.
Anyway, I can hardly believe its been 2 years. Its my second relationship thats lasted at least this long, and its been far too long in between. Its nice to know that we are still happy with each other, still love each other very much, and still have plans for the future together. Never know what to expect, but its definitely a good thing and Im looking forward to many more years together.
Now speaking of my boyfriend (who is very wise mind you), he has informed me that I have been stressing over finances way too much lately. Im the type of person who lives paycheck to paycheck, my credit sucks (therefore no soup for me), and I am constantly budgeting to make sure I have enough to last me through out the month.
Lately Ive grown very tired and impatient on what I have wanted months ago but couldnt afford. Theres so much I need to buy to make up for what I lost when I moved (mind you I didnt have much but things were still mine). Now that I have a refund coming from the government, I really want ALL those things Ive been hoping for and although I can afford all of them within a months time, I still want them now. I dont want to wait any longer. So Ive been stressing.
I need to stop that and live life and do what I can, when I can. I should be happy to do half the stuff I want to within the next few weeks and then shortly after, be happy I can do them in a months time. Im going to try and live by those rules and try and relax more.
So on that note, last night I did my calculating of finances, and realized what can be done soon, and what would have to wait a month. I figured everything out and I will have plenty to get me through the months. We will do Monterey this weekend, I can buy my computer, and then depending if we can get discounts on those phones we wanted, I will either get them this month and put the futon off till next month, or visa versa if we cant get the discount. Either way its managable.
The other plans we were looking for seemed within the budget as well. Valentines Day dinner at The Stinking Rose, and the The Tea Orgy at Samovar . Well I wake up this morning to find that The Stinking Rose is booked Valentines Day and the flyer we got from Samovar says $23 a ticket and their website says $29.10.
Blah, reworking the plan. We cant go to dinner the day before because we will be rushing back from Monterey and the day after is a maybe because I will be having my cyst removed that afternoon. Hopefully it will all work out and I know I need to take a breath and let it play out the way it will but cant help but to stress a bit over the plans going bad.
We will see as the day goes on.
