yeah, i actually worked on labor day. i think i'm starting to get a feel for the new manager, and he's alright. he's just as confused as i am by our district manager's request to put a padlock on our display cabinet so that the employees don't steal its contents. because, you know... if we actually wanted one of their precious footballs or basketballs, there's no way we could just... walk into the back room, where we ourselves have stocked them, and inflate one, and just walk out with it. oh well. we humored her. i think she wanted the padlock there more so that royal can't climb inside it anymore, because when he does that he makes us jealous.
after work, i hit the 99cent store, to pick up something random for my sister, and was wandering around the store in search of anything cool... and i found it. two batman mugs. $1.98 for those kickass mugs. it made the whole trip worth it. also found more gardening stuff to keep my eye on, miracle-gro effervescent fertilizer tabs, much better than the gardening spikes. and some plants that looked kinda cute. when i grow up i'm going to have a massive garden.
after that i went home and showered because i felt like i smelled bad... then i hit up brian's house, talked to his mom, ate dinner with them. those people can cook. i'm going to have to have them write down their recipes for everything when i eventually am living on my own.
then i just hung out with brian. i fell asleep while he did japanese homework (i was trying to read beowulf, but staring at words, no matter how interesting, sometimes makes my eyes tired. especially when i'm all cozied up on a really comfy bed that smells like brian). then i woke up, and he was next to me. i think i drooled on his pillow. then the two of us fell asleep together... and i might have drooled on him.
in any event, it was nice. it's such a sharp contrast from when we first started dating, more than a year ago now... we went to see the movie "hero" with our friends, and we sat next to each other... it took me half the movie to get up the nerve to even ask to hold his hand. every day i look forward to falling asleep with him just a little more. it's a long ways off, and there's going to be a lot of hard work between now and then, but i look into his eyes and feel the way he holds me when we're drifting off to a nap... and he is so worth it.
and with that...
