Hop and Smoop

I don't have much solitude or space to really write these days. Having constant construction being done is insane. I've spent many mornings sleeping on a recliner in my basement because I wanted just an extra hour and a half of sleep before work and that's the only place out of the way and quiet enough to do so. Needless to say, my back and neck are not doing well with sleeping on couches and chairs, but it's a means to an end.
Last weekend I saw Leo and it was very nice. He showed me around his new apartment and I think it's perfect for someone like him. We went to Walmart after I got there because he needed certain things for around the house. For once, my "female" nature shone through with helping him pick furniture and gather necessities. We got back to his place and I set up the garbage cans (where previously he had none) while he made us some food. We both drank a little while playing a sex trivia board game his mom had given him as a joke. While drinking and playing the game we also had on terrible hentai in the background to laugh at. I drank a little more than I had intended - about 3-4 shots worth. He wanted me to sleep over but I had work to do the next morning so I couldn't. We ended up watching a stupid movie to sober up and we actually made out for a couple minutes. It isn't something that I sought out, but also not something I fought. He drove me home only to realize that I had left my keys on his couch. Luckily, my brother was up and able to let me in at 2am. I still have yet to get my keys back but it isn't too much of a hurry.
By way of work I believe I'm excelling. I'm still in the training phase of things, but I think I'm doing better than my partner. I've established a good rapport with my supervisor and seem to be answering questions appropriately. Most of my days have consisted of 5-6hrs of conference calls with myself on mute while I scroll through social media or text my friends or make myself food. We'll see how it progresses but I'm trying to set the ground work to be an assertive go-getter, and I believe I'm achieving it. Office life is just a game, and you need to know how to play the game to win it. By being assertive you demonstrate that you're there to win and take what's yours. People respect that. I was just described earlier as being "a leader in [my] field". Once again, I'm the laziest overachiever you will ever meet. However, that seems to be working for me. I'm feeling a little mentally exhausted because I don't have a refuge at the end of my day where I can just relax and be alone. I don't mind sleeping on couches with my brother, and I'm actually enjoying hanging out every night since pre-quarantine I was never home. But having my own space again is much anticipated. I still have another couple weeks until I'll be moving back into a room of my own, but when I do move it'll be the best night's sleep of my life.

Here are some songs, per usual. I don't know if anyone caught on, but I've been leaving music in my posts for years now. I'd leave them in hyperlinks on certain words, usually relating to the song itself. Most of the time it was a song that described my mood or the topic of the post. I'm just curious if anyone actually realized I was doing that. Anyway, here is the promised musical relief.
