Good: Firefly’s parents had never met any member of my family until this summer, when my sister Bean came along with us on a trip up to their house. My parents have tried to meet them a few times, offering to drive up or find a time to meet them when they were in town, to no avail. Well, my parents are going to be in Firefly’s hometown this weekend, so my mom emailed hers to see if they might be free to meet for brunch on Sunday. Firefly’s mom called back and left a message saying they were and they’d like to meet, so our parents are going to meet for the first time. They’re even going to church services Saturday night so they can meet earlier since my parents are driving home right afterward. Oh, and my dad is foregoing his fast for that one meal to eat with them.
Bad: I was really looking forward to a huge drag king show coming up next month. There are performers from all over the world coming in and it’s a fabulous time. This will be the tenth extravaganza, and although the first few were held here this is the first time it’ll be back in four years, and it’s likely to be quite a few more until it comes back again. Well, turns out we’re going to be out of town for the entire weekend, which I just discovered this morning when I got an email from a friend asking if we’d be willing to host some of the performers. I’m really disappointed that I’m going to miss it and that we won’t be able to host.
Good: the new quarter officially started today. Even though it’s going to kick my ass, I’m ready to get going. Just two more to go, barring any major catastrophes.
Bad: we got into a bit of an argument tonight, which always sucks.
