I had a very boring weekend.
He never got ahold of me today to hangout, so I guess he wasn't serious.
I woke up around 11 a.m and sat at the dining room table watching YouTube videos for awhile, trying to decide what to do.
I went to to check the mail and luckily my Ipsy bag came.
I put on the blush that was in the bag and it really finished off my makeup.
I put on a black dress and boots and decided to go to Goodwill just to look around since boredom was really sinking in.
I ended up finding a light mint green GAP skirt that buttons up the front and a yellow summery shirt with some designs on it.
When I got home I went to lay out in my back yard to try and get some sun,
but that didn't last long because some stupid mosquitos started biting me.
I made chili for dinner, it was very good.
Then I watched some more YouTube videos and ended up falling asleep for awhile.

After therapy today I opened Instagram and saw he had sent me a video.
It was of him, shirtless; (his job is roofing) although I could only see his shoulders, in a car.
I couldn't have smiled more.
I sent him a photo of me sitting at the dining room table when I got home.
This began a few hours worth of sharing photos and little videos of what we were doing through out the day.
I went to the laundry mat.
He was on lunch break.
I left the laundry mat.
He began working again.
I went to the grocery store.
He was taking a break.. without a shirt again.
Then he sent a message that said,
"Cutie."
And my brain turned into a teenage girl and squealed with happiness.
Gross, I know.
We continued to message a little as he got home from work and I went to get ****.
Now I'm at home having already had one glass of wine and now I'm having a beer, hoping to hear more from him, or maybe receive another picture.

All dentists offices smell the same.
Sterile, and also a bit like rubber gloves.
Apparently my appointment was at 10 and I've showed up at 11.
Luckily there was a cancellation so I'll still get a cleaning done today.
It's possible I had the time mixed up but I still believe I am right.
I'll check when I get home.
Now I'm waiting in the lobby area, sort of out of it because I've only gotten 2 hours of sleep at this point.
I'm anxious to get this over with, because even though it's just a cleaning, I hate the dentist.

Red
I just bit into a strawberry and it tasted like ******* sadness.
Gross.

Cry
I feel like I need a good, hard cry.
Which is odd that I have this feeling of intense loneliness and sadness because I thought I was feeling fine today.
But I listened to a podcast about someone's dog dying and how they did everything to save it.
And I was tearing up the whole time, thinking about the inevitable day my dog will die and the love I feel for her.
But now I feel like crying for another reason, I just don't know what that is.

I so badly want to be one of those people who can say,
"I'm happier then I've ever been."
And really mean it, and kind of look at others with pity who haven't figured it out.
And talk about my sad *** past with wisdom but also such relief that it's over.
Not sure if that means a new man that sparks something good inside me.
It's happened once before and I actually was the happiest I've ever been.
I can remember waking up early all the time even after going to bed very late, having a cup of coffee and a cigarette, opening the kitchen door and letting in the morning air and just feeling so happy to be alive and in that moment.
Or maybe it's a different job, or apartment, or some actual friends.
But I'm tired of being sad, confused, jealous and bored.
Oddly enough this life is actually pretty close to what I used to think I wanted.
Modest, an apartment, a decent job, living with a boyfriend.
But, there's something missing.
This isn't how it was supposed to feel.

I just got home from work and driving through the sun rise after stopping at the gas station for cigarettes.
The pink lightbulb guides me up the steps to my apartment and I'm greeted by Sophie the pitbull,
she wiggles and runs happy to see me.
She's the first one into the bedroom when I open the door and as I change out of my work clothes I pet her and kiss her head, complimenting on how cute she is the whole time.
Then I light a candle, pack a bowl and go to Netflix in search of Bob Ross, The Joys of Painting.
On this episode he is painting a night scene in the forest.
