The day flies…
With my odd work schedule, Saturday often becomes the day that I must squeeze all my errands in. All morning I spent taking the cat to the vet, running to the new house, running to the pet store for supplies. The afternoon was spent searching for the discount mattress store and buying new furniture for the living room. I took the boys with me and we spent 2 hours sitting in perfect living rooms. We settled on a truly comfortable set. They had it in expresso brown so I was sold.
Then we ran more errands, hit the liquor store (whoo hoo…just kidding), the fabric store, WalMart. We got home and I quickly fixed dinner and started laundry. I checked the social networking site. J lit up my phone with a text, “You coming out tonight?” No. I’m busy and tired. J has agreed to not check me in at the bars when we’re out. The experiment he did was a bit disturbing.
J was checking me in whenever we all went out. D would comment on it. The bar was not far from D’s house, but it wasn’t the caliber of place that D usually frequents. He prefers the more casual bars near the water. The clientele isn’t any classier, but that’s where the fair weathers go. As a joke, J checked me in one evening when I had no intention of going out. I wasn’t there, and when I finally commented on it a couple hours later, I noticed that D hadn’t made a peep. Last Thursday, J and I met a friend at the bar. Thirty minutes later, D commented on it. J smirked and said, “Your friend likes it that we’re out.” Then he showed me the comment D left, “There was only one time he didn’t have anything to say, but you weren’t here anyway.” F excused herself to go to the restroom. I looked at J, “He didn’t comment because he knew I wasn’t here.” J looks puzzled, then it dawns on him, “He does a drive by to see if your car is here.”
K agrees, “He’s going to make a move again. He really doesn’t want to let you go, even if he doesn’t want to apologize.”
I can’t win…
