My rainy day craft box

I have not stopped being tired. It's amazing how much this job takes out of me. But at least I'm getting much needed exercise.

Today Mel and I got a ton of stuff done. Started setting things up with the caterer, picked up our wedding rings (which fit perfectly,) and got registered for our wedding license. We were both thinking the license was going to be a bureaucratic nightmare of some kind but it's the easiest thing I think I've ever done at a courthouse. Just showed up, forked over the fee, entered our names, and that was that. We joked that it almost seemed too easy. Anyway, after a stop to purchase some gaming merchandise from arphaxaad we made a stop at the nearby Michael's craft store and a few other places. It pretty much feels like all I've done is drive today, but it's also a great sense of accomplishment.

In all the driving we talked a great deal about plans for our future. You see, while I'm grateful for my job I'm not really happy doing it at all and if I don't set some sort of agenda now then I will be doing this kind of thing for the rest of my life. I'll spare you the details, but we've both got some pretty good ideas about where we'd like to go and what we'd like to be doing a few years down the line. It's given me hope and lifted this funk I've been in somewhat. You see, I've never really planned anything and it's 101% of the reason why I ended up where I am. But having someone else to plan with, I dunno... it makes everything seem so much more possible, you know? I've never had that before with another person and it's amazing.

I'll shut up. It's just an amazing feeling after thirty years to finally feel like I know where I might actually be going. The only regret I have about today is that our running around kept us out so late that heading over to megiloth's for poker night wasn't really feasible. I'm sure that even now he plots against me in revenge. Afterward he will say that he couldn't kill Nicole* because he loved her and that the glove did not fit. I'll still invite him to the wedding though.

*By Nicole I mean Nicole Brown Simpson, not kansaschica. He'd know better than to try and kill her. megiloth, that is. He would know better than to try and kill her. OJ, on the other hand, he would kill anyone.
