I'll Fly Away, Oh Glory, I'll Fly Away (in the morning)
Going to the Sabres game in a few.
I won tickets...incredibly very good seats.
I won them for naming my boss' new restaurant, which will be open before the spring.
It is going to be called The Liberty Hound, which is a naval term, since the restaurant will be in the Naval Park downtown.
I didn't know it was a contest, until after I'd won.
Kinda cool, me thinks.
Andy and I are going, because Andy and I have been spending an awful lot of time together.
We aren't dating. We're just better friends than before...time wise, quality time wise.
He's more comfortable being around now that Steve is no longer here.
It's difficult to have friends of the opposite gender when you're in a hetero monogamous relationship. Most of my friends are male, ergo, I haven't really had too much in the way of quality friendships in the past four years.
Andy still lives at MegaHertz, but today he asked when I would have the downstairs done.
He wants to take the apartment, because MgHz is frustrating (no doubt there..."MegaHertz to live here, haha") and has a gazillion cats (and the basement is full of cat crap...like, ya need a shovel to clean it), and he wants out.
I don't blame him.
My father gave me a stack of savings bonds yesterday.
So I went online and tallied them, which took forever, and they are worth $2500 as of right now. I hesitate to cash them in, because some of them haven't matured yet, and there will always be a rainier day.
But.
If I cashed them in, combined them with my Lowe's gift certificates, and my tax refund this year, I would have more than enough to finish the downstairs. Possibly and-then-some.
My parents gave me a laptop for Christmas.
Because Steve smashed my other one on a coffee table, and I've been using this little cheap-o netbook.
Andy gave me a new cell phone...a shiny, teal, awesome one, because Steve smashed my last one against the wall. There is an awfully large dent in the wall from it.
He also smashed my 30 gallon fish tank, with my chess board, thus smashing my chess board (which was a gift, made of stone) into a million pieces.
So yeah electronics!
The last year was stressful, to say the least.
And I told my parents almost everything.
And the truth, though hard, is what is going to ensure that I am not weak, and do not get back together with him. Because now they know...and because they know, I can't be with him any longer. Ever.
And now I have the semblance of a support network, which will be enormously helpful.
Drinking a glass of Malbec, which was also a gift.
And then Andy and I are going to have a nice, sit down dinner, and then go and watch the Sabres hopefully kick-ass.
