May 2nd

This morning started off well, I think. I drove over to the AirBnB I clean, and the people were still there, so then I came back but they were a liiiiittle messier than other people, on top of leaving late so I had less time to clean more mess. I had to leave a little for the wife of the house when she got back. I'm grateful that even though they've been a little less pleased with my work, as I try to get up to their standards that they're willing to work with me. Because, too often we are missing things or I'm not sure what to do about others (I mean, they taped a plastic bag over a vent on the ceiling?), and I've been leaving an undesirable amount of things for her to do because I have to rush to work (I'm sorry! I'm really trying to get everything from the list done!), but I'm enjoying throwing myself into this a little harder and taking it just that smidgeon more seriously (as like a real part time job! It's getting real crazy in the summer! lotsa cleaning!)

Been listening to a lotta D&D podcasts. Also, we just discovered Atlantean got a raise? Which is awesome! We managed to pay rent early this month, so my instant instinct is to SUPER SAVE. Which we can totally do with this raise! Yay! Our apartment we are hoping for in Logan has still not received our application in the mail :(

When I got to actual work (which I have a whole new level of acceptance for, I'm actually getting worried I'll miss it terribly when we move) two people approached me first. One just said, "I was thinking about you." and never really elaborated or why, but it seems like she didn't even know. And then the other saved a Discover envelope for me in the mail because the envelope is pretty and I made hats for cats yesterday out of the envelopes I'd collected from Discover card offers. So both those gestures were sweet and I felt important and cared about :)

Atlantean and I went and saw Endgame! We have unfortunate news. Driving back from the show we both agreed that because people had talked it up SO MUCH, we actually were a little disappointed. Good show! Don't get us wrong! But it was a Marvel movie! I've probably mentioned this before, but I find it hard to ever get a film to mean anything anymore to people. We have unrealistic expectations because we've seen it all. That being said, Nebula playing paper football with Tony at the very beginning and Antman punching the giant dinosaur space ship as he was big was pretty awesome. And Atlantean and I both agreed we got chills when everyone came back and emerged with Doctor Strange to back up Captain America. Whoo!! Good film! (Our insurance paid for us to go. Go Allstate!)

I've been obsessed with the idea of making a D&D podcast lately. I've been listning to The Adventure Zone, of which I am a loyal fan of, but I'm also trying others to kind of analyze what makes one tick, what makes one more popular than the other. I really have a desire, in a year, to try to make a D&D podcast with Wolfman, Atlantean and Pixie. I feel like they'd just be such an amazing group to do that with, and I hope they're available at the time. I notice a lot of improve, group dynamic, funny sayings, but also a strong and vibrant plotlines are all things that make The Adventure Zone such a "powerhouse" and I feel a lot of pressure as the DM to create those good vibes and story. I'm just really excited about it if it ever happened!

Two days is Atlantean's birthday! I'm so excited to finally present him with the gift I've been working on since Valentine's Day. (It's AWESOME. HOPEFULLY.) The sad news is our My Hero Academia shirts won't arrive in time (No way) but we are still going to attempt to cosplay, even with that disappointment. We are still avid watchers of what is out in My Hero Academia whenever we can get over to my parents. I now have keychains lol. #BecomingAMegaFan
