Yesterday seemed to span the whole emotional range for me. When I first woke up, I was really nervous because I went over to Grey's apartment for the first time! He lives with his brother and sister-in-law, and I was terrified to meet his family for the first time! But they were both really nice, and according to Grey had good first impressions of me. Phew!

After that, I was just happy. I love spending time with Grey, and I'm basically addicted at this point. He has a calming presence, and he says I do, too. We watched some TV in his living room (Supernanny and Dance Moms, as expected from my highly sophisticated palate) and then we snuggled up under some blankets in his room and watched Wendigoon until we had lunch---which my highly skilled boyfriend made! I swear, he knows how to do everything. He can also play instruments, and draw, and edit videos and animate and probably like twenty other things!! Anyways, he made us some yummy fettucine alfredo and then we played some Minecraft for a few short minutes until we worked on a project for my creative writing class that he's helping with---we have to do something artistic that's outside the realm of creative writing, so I got him with his artistic multi-hyphenated-ness to help me! We worked on that for a while and then I had to go home. :( But I get to see him again tomorrow! :)

Then I kind of did nothing for a few hours---it was very relaxing. In the evening, however, I went out with my parents to their traditional Tuesday night dinner, and that's where it got more stressful. Firstly, my highly sensitive dad (/s) misgendered me and honestly, it feels like he isn't even trying to accept me as trans. It feels like a little thing to be so upset about but it was the cherry on top of my annoyances. My mum was asking what all stuff I had left to do for my study abroad semester and she meant well by it, but it stressed me out because there's a lot of stuff to do and I don't fully understand a lot of it. And I'm tired because I haven't been able to get to sleep at a decent/early time since coming back for Thanksgiving---not that I was getting enough sleep beforehand, but it's worse. So all this amounted to me being crabby. Thankfully, I had driven separately from my parents, so I left early (they're friends with one of the owners of their favourite restaurant and their chats tend to go till very late) and drove around town with my iPod on the car stereo to blow off some steam before going home.

And then I rewatched some clips of Crash Landing On You, one of my favourite K-dramas, and sobbed.

So yeah, yesterday took me through probably each one of the major emotions. Today I actually got a lot of stuff done for once, so I've been pretty happy today, and I think I'm going to have a good day tomorrow! As long as my Mean Aunt doesn't start anything at Thanksgiving---although it would be a shame not to be able to use the speech I developed in my head in case that happens, as I'm kind of proud at some of the stuff in there. If it went well, that is, and didn't end in me being disowned by the entire family. But in any case, I get to hang out with Grey tomorrow morning! So I'll at least have a highlight of my day. Toodles!
