So I had a really good weekend. I slept so much, but I guess I needed the rest more than I thought I did. I have never been so refreshed on a Monday. Also, last night being the first full moon after the Autumn equinox, Hylke and I decided to celebrate of sorts. We made a nice dinner from scratch, something we need to do more often, and made small offering (wine, beer, the usual) and discuss our beliefs with each other. It was nice because it is not something we usually talk about. Not going to go into too much detail about that though, but it was nice. Just talking with him about stuff so important to us made me feel closer in our relationship, and just left me with a general sense of peacefulness and “it’s all going to be okay”. Which is unusual for me because I stress about everything.
Speaking of stressors, a lot are going to be going away soon, in the form of paid off medical bills. I’ve been paying $200 to $250 a month ($50 every Monday, so it depends on how the Mondays fall) for my visit to the E.R. a year and a half ago, and that will be paid of next month. This month, I make my last $80 payment to the dentist for some serious dental work I had to have done about 7 months ago. Last month was the last of paying $100.00 a month for both a separate doctor appointment related to the E.R. visit, and for my eye-doctor and those shiny new eyeglasses. On top of all of those, I have a couple monthly bills for lab fees , $25.00, and for the separate doctor fee for the E.R., $10.00, that I am still paying on, but will be able to pay larger amounts on as the other bills get paid off.
And on the more material side of things, this weekend was also pretty good. The espresso maker we ordered last week arrived, and we’ve been messing around with that. I got my new BPALs in and the ones I’ve tried, I’ve liked. Except for Maiden, which I love. And I still have one more to try! Hylke has tried most of his, and he seems to like them. I put in another order about 5 or 6 days ago, and I can’t wait until that one comes in. These last few orders have just been 3 to 6 imps, but I really went crazy with one order being 3 bottles, two Halloweens and a Gaimen, and 30 imps, then a few days later, I ordered this month’s lunacy and tacked on another of the Halloween limited editions. I have told myself no more until the Yules, with the exception of an imp pack that I am thinking of ordering as gifts for my family.
So yeah, good weekend. :)
