I am writing because I feel obliged to write something interesting. I don't know why I feel this. It's like I haven't been doing my duty my posting things of substance....which is sily, since it's my journal, it doesn't matter if I fall behind or not, right?
Darn tooting.
And yet, here I am posting.
Anyways, things are well. I am getting used to the annoying work I have to do at work. I don't like it any more, but I am doing a better job of it. Helen is gone for the weekend visiting A, so I am having fun with the bachelor life, you know, eating supper form the cooking pot, being a bit messy, going out and playing games.
Yesterday, I had coffee with DV (haven't mentioned her in a while), where in we agreed we're friends, who like musicals, can chat easily, and can share a good hug. I think I am happy with that assessment, it feels like the right conclusion. I have been giving idle thought to poly, whether I want to pursue a relationship, let it happen, or just be happy and hold off right now. I admit to some second guessing of myself after the dissolution of my relationship with blue stocking. I keep thinking "Make sure this is for the right reason" when I ponder a direction of poly. I think I have decided to just go with my gut. I am not pursuing (well....not as such), and I will trust my instincts as they are needed. What else can you do really?
Today I spent most of the day gaming, specifically tactical tabletop wargames with pewter miniatures. I had a grand time! Truely, and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I also installed one of our toilet paper holders, and was about to start doing towel bars, when I decide Helen may want to have input into placement. I also started to do the dishwasher installation, and realized I can't find the instruction manual *anywhere*. I took it to work to read earlier this week, but I took it back home again. I know I took it home, I just don't remember where I put it. I also can't find my fencing sword. I found the broken one.....but not my good one. I know it got moved here....I didn't check the garage, but I wouldn't think it's there.....maybe I should check the garage.
I have also been pondering on what kinds of things I want to do to better my life. Being in a new house gives one an opportunity to break inertia, and put new things in your routine. I quite my online game, and have decided I will make more of a point of doing more off-computer things. I have put dental floss in the bathroom, and I will try and get in the habit of using it daily. I will read (at least a bit) more. I will do social things. I may finally go take that sign language course. I will be useful and helpful in maintaining my new home. These are all grand ideas, and I doubt I can do them to the level I want to, but shoot for the moon right? If you miss, you still land in the stars.
Watched Pitch Black tonight. I wanted to rent a film that Helen would disapprove of, and I had not seen it. I liked it quite a lot, that's a good quality action/horror film. I recommend it if you haven't seen it.
That is all. What, it's not enough? Time to go to bed with my book.
