A Little Of This And A Little Of That...
*A lItTlE bIt Of ThIs AnD a LiTtLe BiT oF tHaT*
Day 2 of not smoking. It's getting a lot easier. I cheated and had a couple drags last night, but that was enough to send me right back to the non-smoking side. I have noticed that I do eat more. This can't be good. For my sake let's all hope my metabolism doesn't slow down.
Dinner last night was nice. How I do love my sushi! Charlie and I talked about everything that's been going on with us since we last spoke. I think it's been about 7 or 8 months since I last talked to him. It's nice to know that certain people made me the center of their world and I'm sure still do. He owes me a ride on his motorcycle. I'm a little nervous, but I've taken out a new lease on life. I'm living life to the fullest, well as full as I can being stuck here in Seminole. So I have to take risks when they come along and I guess riding a crotch rocket is the closest I'm going to get at the moment. Oh how exciting! =)
Work went on as usual today. I thankfully didn't have to deal with the bitch of a customer that came in today. It was funny to hear about and I probably would have been fired if I had to deal with her. Another new thing to come with that lease, don't take crap from anyone and stop letting people walk all over me.
After work I went to the tanning bed and then rollerblading. It's hot as hell outside. I was more then glistening with sweat, it looked like I had just gotten outta the shower or pool. I enjoy my rollerblading though. I get a work out and I get some me time. It's amazing how much I think about when I'm on the trail and then before I know it, it's time to turn around and head back.
I talked to Jeff the other day and he sincerely apologized to me for everything he put me thru when we were together. I guess he had a deep conversation with a girl who's going thru the same things he put me thru. I finally got the apology I waited 2 years for. Unfortunately it was too little too late. 8 months ago that would have made me the happiest person alive. The world would have been right again, but now that I've seen other people I realized, yes Jeff probably was the love of my life and no one will ever be able to fill the void he made, but I'm young and there are so many people to meet. I don't regret the time that I had with him and I will love him forever and yes I do wish I could go back in time sometimes and still be with him, but I'm so much happier now and I still have my whole life ahead of me. I am greatful to him for gracing my life with his presence and I will be there for him no matter what, but only in a platonic way. To anyone who has or is going thru the same thing, I would recommend stopping and seriously thinking about everything as well.
