606th entry ~ A surprise that really isn't surprising
9:02 am
According to Diaryland, I am way over due for an entry. I am 23 days going without one, so I shall update.
Nothing too exciting has been going on in my life. I have worked six days in a row, Saturday through Thursday. Today I get off. Yet with me working tomorrow as well, I still will not have 40 hours, or anything close to it. How does that happen? I’ll have at the least probably 33 hours. I suppose that’s better than nothing. I’m getting the extra hours, at least this week, because I’ve started to cross train into another department. This week was training hours, next week I’ll work Tuesday for this other department. So I’ll gain five hours a week by cross training. Not much, but I suppose it’s better than sitting around waiting for them to add another truck to our schedule. Very unlikely to happen. Gotta love retail.
In other news, and quite possibly the biggest news of my life; my ex boyfriend has come back into my life. This normally would be completely shocking to me, given what we went through, except my life has been anything but normal lately, so I’m not going to pretend to be shocked. I will however say I am flabbergasted at what we’ve been talking about but find it outrageously hilarious too. I look forward to his emails everyday, and get slightly sad when I don’t hear from him. Pretty amazing considering I went two years without hearing a peep from him. We’re long on the road to a great friendship already, and possibly more if things continue down the road they are on. I say this with slight resistance because I’m not sure what he really wants at the moment. I know friendship is the biggest thing we both want right now, and I am presently in another relationship, but there have been a lot of old memories brought up that have more than just past feelings attached to them. At least this is what I think. We have discussed this, and it gets confusing trying to explain things through email. Well before all this drama started to unfold, I had brought up the idea of doing lunch or dinner with him some night. I have told him before we get in over our head, we must see each other again to see if anything will even work. There are a lot of things that can be told from a visit. The frustrating part is I have no idea when this visit will happen. He is busy with school and soon he’s doing something for the Air Force for a month I believe. My job hours are kind of wacky, so nobody really knows when this will happen. I want it to be soon, but I don’t want to put too much pressure on him either. I’m kinda in a pickle. I just need to keep telling myself things will work out eventually, so be patient.
Going away from that story, I am going home this weekend to spend Easter with my mom. I’m not sure if I will be hearing from my dad, but I don’t think he really cares either. So I think I am going to get some things packed up today so that when I get home from work on Saturday, I don’t have to worry about that. Good plan.
As much as I would love to sit around and vege all day on my day off, I have things to do. Laundry, cleaning the bathroom and kitchen, and possibly other cleaning of sorts. We’re moving in about a month and a half so I’d like to start getting rid of unnecessary things soon. I’m not going to bother packing until at least the beginning of May. We use basically everything in this apartment, and the things that we do not use as often are downstairs in the storage.
Let the fun times begin!
