Where’s mine?
I’ve been exhausted from work again. A coworker, who is almost as overwhelmed as me and I decided to stop being negative about our current overload of work. I think our words were, “Let’s be joyful,” and “Let’s be more positive.”
Difficult feat when your mind and body are so exhausted at the end of the day and then again when you wake up.
Today on the way out of the gym, I ran into one of my ex-boyfriends for the first time in three years. We were together for four and miraculously never ran into each other in this town. I’ve been told we were in the same bar at the same time a couple of times but my friends have always maneuvered me around so that I was none the wiser. Three years later, I run into him and I didn’t even recognize him. I just noticed someone squinting at me as if he knew me and wondered, what’s this dude doing? I guess my eyes finally flashed with recognition because he then waved.
Nino said he would have acted angry if he was me. I just find it amazingly funny I didn’t recognize someone I used to do stuff with and thought I was gonna marry.
I awkwardly waved back.

1) WOW. where was my text/email when this happened?!?! big milestone. i’m surprised with the waving. from both parties. remember when you used to dream/daydream about running into him outside of the gym……..with your car? ahhhhh the good ‘ol days.
2) i JUST got mine 2 days ago (or…it arrived at my parents’ house but i’ve yet to pick it up). i heard the stimulus check comes in some kind of order according to the last 2 (3?) digits of your social. i’m still waiting! but still. thank you, government, for recognizing my hard working, single, childless, broke ass.
3) miiiisssss yyyoooouuuu
