Treading Sand

Life is an oddity.
Work has been all consuming. I'm working 6 days a week and I am so mind fried when I get off, I just crawl onto the couch. I went and bought a membership to Anytime Fitness, but I've only been once. Of course, it's only been a week, but I still feel guilty.

I haven't heard from Shawshank. He hasn't been on the social media, he hasn't messaged me, nothing. I assume he is buried in work. I hope he is doing ok. The friend he tried to hook me up with has hooked up with someone else. I'm not surprised. Even virtually I cannot get guys to connect with me. It really isn't too much of an issue. With my life up in the air, it is hard to try and connect with anyone right now. I have no idea where I will be in a couple of months and no idea if I will get promoted.
Everyone and their brother will drop by the store on Thanksgiving and Black Friday so it will be an interesting test. The best part though, is that if I'm busy I will look like I know what I'm doing. I just have to be busy. I bought a shit ton of food for my peeps. We will be having BBQ for Black Friday, so it will be fun to have sandwiches and cookies during the holiday. And pie. I hope someone brings pie.

Either way, I find it so odd that I ran into someone I know at the grocery store today. I've been down here a year and a half, and I turn the corner and almost straight run into the guy I worked with in KC. He married the woman he was living with and they've been down here 4 or 5 years. We hugged and talked for at least 20 minutes in the middle of an aisle while families dodged our carts hunting their last minute Thanksgiving spices. He is going to tell his wife that he saw me, and I think I'm going to give him a job. I'll let my assistant decide where he wants to put him.

I've been so lonely down here, and a couple of months before I may leave, up pop old friends.
