Baby Steps

Is it me, or do I always seem busy? Sunday I worked a 10-4 shift. It went well I guess. Bob is still my best friend. It definitely makes life a lot easier with him liking me. After work, I went to Keyfood with my mom. At the deli counter, I saw a regular customer at the Bagel Shoppe. She smiled at me and said she almost didn't recognize me from not being behind a counter. We both laughed and carried on. It's so strange how people you don't even know become regular staples in your life. There are some customers that come in so frequently, that before they even make it to the counter, I'm already making their sandwich. It's creepy, but I guess helpful in saving time.
Anyway, today was an...interesting turn in events. Jojoe and I were planning on meeting today just to sit and talk things out. I wanted to see if we had any hope of a future friendship. I went to school, sat through my Psychology class, then ran. I made it just in time for the bus. I took the bus but got off in a bad area (I got off at the wrong stop). Google Maps wasn't working right (perfect...) and I was lost. I texted Jojoe saying I would be late. He replied with "Please don't come."...What? I sacrifice my time, travel on strange buses, and get lost, all so you can cancel on me? NO. So I talked him back into meeting with me. I got to his house, he let me inside, and we went to his room in the basement. He had on VH1. We both watched the show for a minute, then began talking. To make a long story short, he wanted nothing to do with me. I told him how I felt (that I missed him, and loved him), and he was left speechless. He couldn't decide whether to just push me away or to let some sort of friendship ensue. I wasn't going to wait all day till his decision was made. I told him that the ball was in his court, then I excused myself, and took the buses home. However, I made a small pit stop. Leo met me at the mall and we talked. I told him about the meeting with Jojoe and how it went. We walked around and smelled candled, explored stores, and just wandered. I forgot about the outside world for a bit. He had to leave, so I boarded the bus going home.
I finally made it home. I heated up some pasta, ate it quickly, then left for physical therapy. My therapist told me that the knot in my shoulder had doubled in size. I triggered a muscle spasm Saturday night after I tried reaching for something that was too far. It hurt, but I didn't know I did that much damage. We skipped the stretches and exercises in therapy and just iced/heated it with electrode therapy. I need to stop being so fragile. I have responsibilities and things to do. I don't have time to focus on fixing myself.
After therapy, I got home and was exhausted. I did a lot of travel today. probably a combined 4 or so hours within a 6hr window. Ugh. I played with my laptop and learned how to torrent movies. I've downloaded a bunch of anime classics. Howl's Moving Castle, Ghost in the Shell, Kiki's Delivery Service, Grave of the Fireflies, and a couple others. I intend on watching them during whatever free time I happen to have. Anyway, since I was busy online, I wasn't focusing on my phone too much. Turns out, Jojoe had texted me. He wants to have a friendship. It kinda surprised me, but I guess in a good way. I really do miss him being a friend. Now, hopefully we can at least have a nice conversation. Let's see how things progress. As Jojoe said, "Baby steps"
