I have so much to cover in this entry, so I apologize in advance for how long it will be.
First things first. An update on the relationship status. It was hectic for a while there, and Jarren and I came closer to breaking up than either of us thought was possible. We have this problem where we are so stubborn that we never resolve anything. We just gloss over it and hope that if we ignore it long enough it will go away. Which works. For a while. Until we blow up in each other’s faces and end up like this. It’s not a good way to handle things, and hopefully from now on we’ll make sure to talk things out and resolve our issues as they come.
Alright, with that out of the way I have some awesome news. I got an apology from someone the other day, and though it doesn’t make the past go away it definitely helped clear a lot of the tainted air. I’m not sure that I’m ready to talk to her, but I do want her to know that I’ve forgiven her, and I appreciate her being strong enough to offer her apology. It really, really meant a lot to me.
I have more awesome news. Jarren and I went into Best Buy today because he won a gift card from work. Of course, once we were there we had to go into the computer section. He’s kind of in the market for one, but he doesn’t have that kind of cash. So, he figured he could apply for a card and see if he could pay monthly, and Customer Service told us about this Reward Zone MasterCard they have that gets you 2% back in Best Buy gift certificates on any purchase outside Best Buy and 4% on any in store purchase. So he started filling out his application and they let us know that they would inform us of their approve/deny decision right there, in a matter of minutes. Being my bored, antsy self I decided to go ahead and apply too. Why not, right? Well, they denied Jarren, which we expected. He’s young, male and has NO credit. But they apprvoved me! $500 limit! I’m so excited! Not because I want a new card, but because it means that paying off my 5/3 card, catching up my Chase card and getting all of that taken care of really did me a favor. It feels good to know that I’m getting back on my feet, and that there’s nothing that can tie me down for too long. I still have to finish paying Ben off, but I’m getting there too. $50 a pay check goes right into his account, and it shouldn’t take me long to finish that up too.
Something happened in the last few days that settled a lot of my loose ends, and it feels amazing. I really couldn’t ask for more. Well, I’m hoping that this Rilakkuma bag actually makes it to me this time, but if that’s my only worry, then I’m ridin’ on clouds.
