"Happy" 2017?

The new year doth begin in a haze of confusion and stress, so sayeth I.  Ugh.    So my original plan to start classes at MTSU next week pretty much fell through due to a multitude of things, such as the school being utterly ridiculous in terms of trying to help post-bac transfer students figure stuff out, the fact that I would be able to take one single class this semester and forced to take at least three other "fluff" classes in order to reach full-time status and thus receive financial aid, and the fact that B.B., my 2009 Chevy Aveo, is a sick little car.  

My poor darling.

Ah, my darling B.B.  Poor thing has a number of problems, some prioritizing others, and at the moment, it wouldn't be prudent to take her to and from Murfreesboro (about twenty to thirty minutes one way) on a daily basis.  She desperately needed an oil change, so we got that done, but Pennzoil told us that she has some other issues that need to be taken care of, which require going to a mechanic for one set of problems and a tire place for another.  Sigh.  We'll take her in this Saturday to check out prices, something I'm reeeeally looking forward to.  Immensely.

Have I ever mentioned I hate being an adult?

It's only twelve days into the new year and already I feel impossibly drained, yet at the same time, with school no longer looming over my head, I do feel a slight sense of calm.  Just a slight one, but it's something, at least.  It also forces me to focus more on the wedding this October, which is particularly terrifying in terms of figuring out budget and everything.  People keep asking me, so I will say that we do have a date set, but it's not being announced until we've 100% decided on and/or reserved a venue, just in case something needs to change.  But yes.  October of this year. (AHHHH I'M GETTING MARRIED THIS YEAR.)

That's really about it.  Theo and I are totally nerds, geeks, and dorks in that we're part of a group that gets together weekly at a board game shop in Murfreesboro to play Dungeons & Dragons.  And you know what?  I FEEL NO SHAME.  It's super fun and it's nice stress release to just sit for a few hours and pretend I'm an adorable, 2'10" lute-playing, storytelling halfling warlock named Kithri.  It also makes me want to binge watch The Lord of the Rings, but I don't really have the attention span for such a feat.

Also, y'all need to know that I have the most wonderful, understanding, supportive fiancé ever and that I do not deserve him.  Seriously, he's the best.  And he's mine.  Neener neener.
