Homer and the Heavy Hitters Drum Line

Today, the Atlanta Braves and the city of Smyrna held a festival called Game on the Green. It was a chance to let fans get together and watch an away game together. Consider I have no cable and hardly have any friends in the area, I went. I didn't really meet anyone new. I just had small, general chit chat. However, it was nice to see a game again. They also had some free stuff. I got 2 Braves/Suntrust water bottles, a Charter Communications piggy bank and flower pot, some Braves stickers, a foam Tomahawk, and some smaller free stuff. I even had a state senate candidate introduce himself to me. He was out campaigning for the seat he wants. I didn't have the heart to tell him I'm not even registered to vote in Cobb County. I haven't done that, yet. The only bad thing was the Brave lost.

I am so tired at the moment. Yesterday, when I got home, I called Joey and then just started crying. I didn't want to cry but damn it, I couldn't help it. At one point, he had me on hold, and I hung up. I just had to cry, and I didn't want him to hear it. He called me back and could hear the crying in my voice. I just wanted to go home to Savannah. Beth had called me earlier in the day about some cat-induced flooding in the bathroom. She was crying about that. I just felt like I belonged back in Savannah. Shame I can't afford to commute to Savannah each weekend. Right now, I want to do it. And with getting a full week of work in and the homesickness, it all came to a head while on the phone with Joey. I screamed at him that I hated him. He called me out on that one that if I really hated him, I wouldn't have called. True. I just wanted to tell him how my first week at work went since I never called him back Monday and I didn't tell him Wednesday when I briefly called his place. I didn't expect it to be a cryfest. I was just angry at everything, and at him. He still earns my ire over that comment last weekend.

I know in time, I'll adjust to this new life. I just hate change. And I hate being lonely.
