So life is pretty damn great now.
I just landed a sweet little part-time prep position at Epulo, an Italian bistro in the town I live in. I’m so happy right now. I finally get to work in a real kitchen! And I get to wear my whites!
One of my closest and best friends from back in high school came in to my work today. We were busy, so I never got a proper chance to go out in front and have a chat with him. But the entire time he and his gf (whom I also met in schol and was there when they first began dating) were there, I was just…sad. Or not sad, but something close to it.
I couldn’t help but think how tight me and him were. We hung out every day and shared pretty much everything. In the two years that had flown by, so much changed and that fucked with me. Hard.
I just wanted to write this down somewhere because I’d been thinking about it for so long. Has anyone else had this experience, seeing an old great friend who you’re not really sure if you can call each other friends anymore?
Every night after I get home from work, my dog Mowgli wakes up and begins barking his head off. As I enter the house, I can hear him scurry down from my parents bed and make his way to the entrance (his little nails scratching at the floor, scratchscratchscratch).
Originally I was going to write about how everything has felt routine lately and I’ve been stuck in a rut. But I have to look at the positive things and be optimistic! The Mowgli routine is definitely one of my favorites.
I’m gonna go perk up now and start another one of my more favored routines: Skyrim till the wee hours of the morning.
Have a good night/morning everybody.
“Need anything from the store?”
“Mmm…bagels. Orange juice. S’about it.”
“Alright.” She pulls out her grocery list, jots it down. She then spends the next 5 minutes taking inventory of her kitchen, writing down what she needs. Soon after, she heads out.
Ten minutes later I get a phone call:
“Hey…I forgot the list.” She’s chuckling.
“You did not. Really?”
Full on laughter now. “Yeah.”
“I’ll send you a text.”
