I'm exhausted. No reason other than having seriously fvkced up dreams every night.
H is being difficult. I think in part because I finally made the appointment to have the iud taken out. I think he's scared, frankly. He picks ridiculous fights and it's just frustrating.
This week we're putting into place a new budget. We're going to try it out for 6 months to see how it goes. If it's an epic failure, then we'll go back to how it's always been. If it succeeds, maybe he'll give me the awesome credit I deserve.
A plus - we got our burning man tickets last night.
Re: So done
It's hard to explain, Stinks.
It's technically a free-expression art festival. If you want to be a naked hippie, go ahead. No one cares. If you want to have sex with random people, go ahead it's available. It's described as an experimental community. It springs up for 1 week every year and it's as close to utopia as you can get. Could it work for longer than a week? Doubtful.
It really felt like there were two events. There was the day time event which was art, lectures, people meeting. Then the night time was the rave scene. A lot of raves. Plus a lot of the art has fire involved and those went on during the night. A lot of the art installations actually get burned completely as the week progresses.
It's camping in a harsh environment. 1 week and you have to provide yourself with everything. There are 2 things you can buy. Coffee and ice. Everything else is trade or you bring yourself. There is no commerce except for coffee and ice and those are regulated through the LLC that run Burning Man.
The even culminates the Saturday night before Labor Day with the burning of the man. It's a huge statue that stands the entire week.
It's emotional, beautiful, difficult and one of the most amazing things I have ever done in my life.
PS. I have pictures of it up on FB if you want to take a look
