May 1st

I'm generally pretty happy today. I woke up, watched an entertaining movie (Mr. and Mrs. Smith), cleaned the house and actually look kinda nice today.
Unfortunately the same is not exactly true for Atlantean.
He is really despairing. Apparently at work he screwed up on a piece and now has to redo a lot of the trailer that he's been working on which includes taking off basically everything he already put on. I think he's really upset with himself and beating himself up. He called me and he sounds really down. He also has a ton of homework to do tonight and is not excited to come home from a bad day at work to sit down and do that. I don't know what to do for him. At first I thought I could surprise him by saying that we should totally go to Infinity War tonight to cheer him up, but then I sadly remembered the homework too. I really hate seeing him so sad because I know he's beating himself up on the inside and is gonna be really low. It's hard to watch.

I guess I'll just talk about how my campaign is already starting to extend to three arcs in advance which is nice. Also I've only really been in the mood for real books lately and not informational books which is kind of a change. So I'm just riding that one.

This week is passing really slow.

UPDATE: No, wait, I do actually have something I wanna say! First off - it's Atlantean's birthday this week! Yay!!! And apparently his Amazon gift I ordered for him has already arrived and is sitting on the porch at home which makes me kind of nervous, but hopefully will be fine ...

But! We went to a party thrown for us at his parent's house and I was pleasantly surprised! I thought nothing would really happen, but it turns out the family with all the kids that only comes every once in a while attended even though they really didn't need to, and they bought us some really nice stuff! I swear - she is so cool having as a sister-in-law! She seems so on top of things and so thoughtful. They recommended a cast-iron grill and griddle for Atlantean's mom to buy us and a whole bunch of stuff to take care of it. We got money and gift cards and hats and I got a really big really cool D&D bag with 20 sided dice all over it! I was so amazed! I hadn't been expecting anything!
And to top it all off - the cake they made was so amazing! Atlantean had basically "ordered" it or told them what he wanted while we were at a baby blessing up in Tooele (they had the coolest view, but it was windy!). He told them to put our dream house on it! And do you know what that consisted of? A farmhouse and a spaceship! It was actually really touching! He really believes in our crazy dreams, and knows I actually want to accomplish them and honored that by putting it on our cake! I kept both the farmhouse and the spaceship as memorandum (probs not the right word but I think you get it) I just thought it was such a special gesture and I love my husband.
I hope he's doing okay.
