WHY IS EVERYONE BEING SO NICE TO ME TODAY?!?

Today feels like a blessing pay off or something! This morning my mom came to pick me up to take me to work and then she offered to buy me food even when I promised myself I wouldn't ask for any since I always do, but she offered anyway! Then I got to run fun errands with her. When I got to work, I found out I had been 'boo-ed' which is this cute little thing my work does where we give around secret goodie baskets and then you have to 'boo' someone else with a secret goodie basket of your own. I really didn't mind the thought of never getting boo-ed because I know I'm not wildly popular in the office, but it was a nice surprise. Then a coworker came over and asked me about my life, another sympathized with me about the blandness of a cookie, another remembered that I was writing a murder mystery (that I'm still working on) and encouraged me calling me creative and another coworker gave me half of his Burger King takeout! Then we had a person come in to deliver paint, and I had three people come out to help me get it sorted!
So I had a cheesy snack, two bites of a sugar cookie and now a chicken sandwich when I brought a meager lunch myself! Maybe it's some kind of reward for letting Atlantean eat out today since we have NO food.

Everyone's being so nice to me~~~~! Plus my sister bought my ticket to Mission: Impossible- Fallout last night (good show: highly recommend!!) and then Atlantean let me go and offered to snuggle up with him for warmth when I got back. Fuzzy stayed with me, my shower was wonderful, my hair was cool, we found my cardigan. Happy things!!!

Things are good!

Also we went to our Owl City concert back on Tuesday and Atlantean let me buy an Owl City shirt! My "I AM" one was getting a little old (I actually got proposed to in it) and I've adored it, but Atlantean agreed it would be okay to get me a new t-shirt, so I got a black one with an outline of him and a lyric. The concert itself was probably the mildest I've ever been to (and I've only been to three) but it just seemed like everyone was just watching him and not dancing at all. I guess those are the kind of people who listen to his music. Thinkers and feelers. I tried to dance. Atlantean says sometimes he just watched me dance.
Our downtown trip actually went really successfully. I tried not to panic and overthink like I always do and told myself, "Whatever happens will happen and it will work out" and it did! We found a good nearby restaurant that we had a discount for and then we got to the concert on time just as the preshow was gone (didn't even see them) and Adam Young was up on stage. The first entrance was covered in people smoking, but we found his entrance to the side where it was much more empty and smoker-free. They even searched our persons! And we saw that it was going to rain so Atlantean grabbed his duster and I wore both our lighter jackets and we were glad we had them! It was cold and wet! But searching Atlantean's duster look awhile. After the concert, we walked up to Kappa's place of work, Oasis Games in Salt Lake City. It was more blocks than we remembered and we came only minutes before closing on a night that Kappa was leaving early on anyway. But he said a quick hello. He seems really happy :) His relationship with Dryad is as great as ever and he really seems to thrive at his job. I'm truly happy for him :)

We took TRAX back and at one point when we were alone in the car, I sat on his lap and we kissed and laughed about the people who could see us from their cars. I thought the whole trip went very successfully and because I really tried to keep calm about whatever happened, not only did it make whatever happened more enjoyable, but I feel like it also helped keep Atlantean calm when he fretted.

On Wednesday Atlantean and I met with three people at different times in the Marco's Pizza parking lot to give away some stuff I had put on the app "letgo." At first the app really freaked me out, talking to strangers and rendezvousing and maybe offending people, but I learned good lessons on how to deal with people and I got rid of a bag of dog food (Kalena's boyfriend), an automatic can opener (Ken), two bags of wood pellets (Dan - who showed up in a mustang!) and a coffee pod holder I had purchased thinking it was a spice rack (Veronica and her dogs). Still trying to get rid of a black garbage swing top, but I faced some fears!

I love how this week I told Atlantean we would work really hard on getting to bed at a reasonable hour and we (atleast I) have stayed up til midnight almost every day of the week.

Thursday Atlantean and I went and did some sealings. I was so amazed by how nice all the ladies in the temple were and wanted to talk to me afterward since they all found out it was my first time. They were so nice!! It was a lot less romantic than I thought it was going to be, but I wasn't too bored. Then my siblings took me out to Mission: Impossible -  Fallout which I mentioned before. That about sums up my life right now!

Life's good!
