I'd like to say I've been busy doing busy business lady stuff but the more honest reason for why I haven't posted in a couple of weeks is because I'm boring and lazy. That's not really true either, not in my opinion, though I can be lazy. So what have I been up to?
Camping! I went to Daingerfield and had a lovely camping trip, though it was a little too hot. I got a bit sunbued and bug bitten but it was fantastic and I got to swim and eat hotdogs and all of my internal clocks reset. Camping seriously is the best. It's always fun to get out of the tent in the morning and find out what the racoons managed to get, thwarting our best intentions mainly because we forget and leave something out for them. And the pit fires at night are awesome, sitting around drinking and talking and just staring into the fire. We were there from Friday through Monday, giving us an extra day and it was so worth it. My mother no longer finds it scary that I go camping (we are town mice so she finds everything scary) but she still can't really believe how much I enjoy it.
The Bat and I are giving it another go, the whole relationship thing. A while back, he realized he had feelings for me that were stronger than he'd thought. Then, recently, I started seeing someone and the Bat decided he wanted to fight for me and wanted me to be in his life. He's been putting in a tremendous amount of effort. He's more open to talking about things, which is huge, and he compliments me and does nice things for me and just shows how much he cares for me. He even bought me fresh cut flowers! Sure, they were from the grocery store but he has a huge stance against that sort of thing, something a lot of guys say these days (they'd rather give you a plant than give you flowers). Why do grocery store flowers get such a bad wrap anyway? I buy them for myself from time to time and I think they are lovely. I don't need or want a giant bouquette and the Bat's flowers lasted for ages. Poor grocery store flowers really are treated badly.
In other Bat news, he has a live in housekeeper. He met this person through a Facebook page he and I work on and she got flooded out of her place in Oklahoma and needed some place to go to get back on her feet. So he agreed to let her stay in his guest room in exchange for her housekeeping services. It's kind of rad because when I go over now the floors and counters and things are clean and it just feels comfortable. I'm tempted to see if I can borrow her but will probably just do a really thorough cleaning of my apartment on my own. That's one of my goals for this weekend and I do mean thorough. We're talking baseboards and cleaning out cupboards and closets. I keep it fairly tidy on the reg but I want a nice deep clean in preparation for the summer.
In further Bat news (what, is this his blog or something?), his parents bought a house an hour and a half south of Dallas. It is a retirement place, which they won't need for quite some time, so it will be a vacation home for the family. The Bat is going to take care of the cosmetic renovations and things and he looks forward to taking me down there some weekends. We are going, with his parents, this weekend in order to take care of some plumbing issues and other stuff. I don't know what the other stuff is but I think I'm helping his mom with things. I'm going to put together my work outfit and am kind of stoked.
Oh! More me news! I signed up for Blue Apron, a food delivery service that sends the ingredients and recipes with step by step instructions for making said recipes. You get three meals a week for either two or four people and I signed up for the two person one because it's just for me and the Bat or, if he doesn't like it but I do, just me. I got my first delivery yesterday and look forward to cooking my first meal. They look delicious and I think it will save me money since I won't be going to the grocery store so damn much (doesn't help that I shop like a child). And it's really cool that they provide all the ingredients because my closest market doesn't have a lot of stuff. I'm really hoping it works out for me and that I enjoy the experience. If I like the recipes but decide to cancel the service, at least I'll have a nice stock of meals I know I like and can just go get the stuff myself. I'm really, really looking forward to this.
OK, that's enough. I was going to write about my job a bit but there isn't much to say other than that I enjoy it. And this post is long enough as it is so let's just leave it.
