Looking Up

These last few days have been crazy. I worked the early shift Saturday and Sunday. It was exhausting, but surprisingly fun. Saturday it was only Bob and I. LD wasn't in because his wife just gave birth to their first child, a daughter. She's so adorable. But Bob and I were alone. I was worried but we started talking and laughing and getting along. I never thought he would be so nice to me. Saturday got busy though. For 3hrs straight, there was a line out the door. It was hectic, but he and I managed to take care of the whole crowd 2 or 3 customers at a time. After the rush ended, he looked at me and said "it was a pleasure working with you today". Wow. I was in shock. He didn't just tolerate me, but he complimented me too. The rest of the day went slow but it was fun once Jena and Ray came. We all talked and then I left. I went home exhausted. However, my mom needed me to do work for her. We're renovating our kitchen and demo starts Friday. So we started taking the pots and plates and trays downstairs and put of the way. I did 2/3 of it then stopped. I was tired. I had been going since 5:30am and my neck/shoulder was killing me. I really needed those anti-inflammatory drugs I guess. I'm out of those and so I'm on an ibuprofen dose and lidocaine patches every day to keep it under control. I don't know why this hasn't healed yet. But anyway, I needed a break from the moving and cleaning. My mom got all pissed out and said I don't contribute to the household. Ok. Whatever helps her sleep at night.
The next morning I started work at 7. Bob and Matt were there. I haven't known Matt for long, but he's fun to work with. We all got along and the morning went well. I talked to Jeff (the Boss Man) about taking next weekend off. It's ComicCon! He agreed and I was thrilled. I still am thrilled. Just as I was leaving work, Bert came and talked to me. He asked what was up and how I was doing. Weird. He was probably on drugs. He usually says passing comments, but he and I never get into an actual conversation. He even told me to enjoy my week and wished me well. Weird. I went home and watched a Lifetime movie. They're actually pretty good. Over the weekend alone, I watched three 2hr Lifetime movies. I then showered and slept. I feel like the next couple weeks will be great. ComicCon is this weekend, and going to college isn't too hard right now. I just wanna hang out and enjoy life. I hope that's what the next 2 weeks are for.
Now for a Bambi update. He went to work yesterday and broke down crying. He left work, went home, and showed his mom his collection of knives. Then he showed her his scars. She is getting help for him. Finally. In a way, I'm glad this happened. He needs help and now is the time to get it. I'm visiting him today after classes and helping him with his math work. I'm doing everything I can for him. I want the old Bambi back. The one who was always happy and making jokes. I want him back. I want my Bambino back.
