Well...

Things keep bouncing up and down. The job search is stressing me out. My supervisor and her supervisor are battling it out on whether or not she will be allowed to hire me. I feel like I am in the middle of a war. It is a really tense situation in that office. Is that really the kind of environment I want to work in? So, in any case, that job possibility has hit a snag. I need to look for more jobs to apply for. I still haven't heard back from most of the places I applied.

Yesterday, he and I went to the aquarium. We got up early and headed downtown. The only problem was the fact that he had only managed to get about two hours of sleep. I think knowing that we were waking up early kept him from falling asleep. Isn't that the way it always works? So we spent about 3 hours at the aquarium. When we got out, it was still only early afternoon, and I wanted to stay downtown and take advantage of the beautiful weather. There is so much that we haven't done in this city yet. He just was not having it... he was too tired... his feet were sore... he didn't want to spend money. I came up with several things we could do that would involve almost no walking and almost no money, but he was exhausted. I was pretty cranky, mainly because I was hungry. That never brings out the best in me. Besides, we had had a deal, which he had broke--I bought the aquarium tickets (around $60 for the two of us), and he promised to buy us lunch. Well, when I wanted to go to the aquarium food court (which I know would have been overpriced, but it was really the only place to get food anywhere near the aquarium), he said no. Too expensive. Seriously?! I spent $60 on these tickets and you can't buy me $7.00 chicken fingers?! So we went home--him apologizing the whole way about tiring out and promising to make it up to me, and me trying to contain my crankiness.

We bought food at the grocery store and came home. I was fuming silently on my bed and waiting for the food to come out of the oven, while he sat at my computer and tried not to say anything to piss me off more. Well, he improved my mood through bribery. He asked if I wanted to go see a show (like a musical). I was not overly excited about the idea. I like seeing shows, but it is just not really at the top of my list. Then he brought up going to a baseball game. Now he had me interested. We looked online and it turned out that my home team was going to be in this city this weekend to play the team here. We found tickets for tomorrow's game and he bought them. We ate, and I felt much less cranky. So, tomorrow night we go to the game. Exciting. I have never seen my team in another team's ballpark. I have only seen them in their home field.

I called my parents to tell them about the game (they are big fans of our home team) and they said that I need to decide this weekend when I want to move out. That is such a difficult thing to do. I don't know what I am going to do yet. I think I will avoid thinking about it today. I am going to try to stay in a good mood today.

All in all, I guess everything is fine for now, except for the normal problems. I am trying to stay as positive as I can. Some days it works, some days it doesn't. I might do some job searching today, but mainly, I am just going to try to relax and enjoy my time with him while I still can.
