Time

Until I knew that I could get on a plane and fly away from the road where the cars never stop going through the night
To a life where I can watch the sunset... -- Sand In My Shoes, Dido

I think I'm wasting time. No, I'm pretty sure I"m wasting a lot of time nowadays, even though there isn't much for me to be doing. I could be enjoying life, and instead I play a lot of WoW with my best friend. Though, I guess that's alright; in a way, I am spending time with other people... I just hate that I walk out of the house to go to work or to get something from my car and regret that I'm losing such a beautiful day. It's what I moved to Texas for in the first place, for crying out loud! Tomorrow I want to get up and at least go walk around the park before around lunch. Perhaps pack a sandwich and a book and just enjoy myself. Plus, I need to get back into the habit of going to the gym. I don't know if any of you know this, because it seems like everyone's skinny these days, but whenever you are heavier, and then lose it you feel great, right? Well, if you get some back, even the smallest amount, you feel like crap, and you are overly conscious of its presence. That's how I feel now. I've felt it for a while, but things keep happening to my body to keep me from going to the gym to swim like I want to... I'll just go for a walk around the park and then settle in to a good book and a sandwich.

Tonight was interesting. I was sat a lot, but I guess those people stuck around... I only had about 3 hours of people come in, and while they left good money for Abilene (for the most part, one family left me 20-something cents [really?]), I only walked out with about 30 again... or something got messed up somewhere in the counting. Anyway, I need to make more money, so I'll probably be really tired and or stressed out for the next couple of weeks... months... you know. The usual.

So funny enough, those guys I had mentioned... rather, ranted on about in the last posts came in tonight after I was done with my stuff and I saw them. I imediately walked into the back and told Shad. He had just seen them. Jlee had left earlier that afternoon, when I got there, so I think Shad told him about it after work. It was awkward. Even better, Kamacho and Lee were just around the corner in a booth and when I happened across them, they laughed and pointed as well. How strange of them to come up to our store after that. Lee wondered aloud whether or not they realized that every single person that was in that room at the time works in the same place! When the guy looked over at me at one point I made a face at him that I meant to say "Really?", but he looked away, and I don't know if he even noticed. They were getting drunk; typical. Shad said he walked right by them and they didn't say anything to him, nor did he initiate a conversation. What is there to say, after all? Shad thinks that's the way it is, and I can't help but say I concur.

Anyway, I need to catch up on sleep... I'm excited about the park or wherever tomorrow. If you guys read this, I'll probably be there around... um... 1300? That sounds nice...
