Five Months

Today makes it five months exactly until I quit. So close and yet so far.

Yesterday I slept in by accident. Apparently I'd set my alarm for 6pm by accident so I woke up at 6:55. oops. Oh, well. Usually they wouldn't have noticed but Zhaun did this time, he didn't care. I simply skipped the lunch they'd scheduled me to make it up.

I don't know how they expect me to do everything myself. I have to break down the freight, work the freight, offload trucks, do any extras Zhaun has for me, fill all the shelves and holes, sweep and mop the floor, and do any other cleaning or preparing for the visit tomorrow. And I have to do all my regular stuff like ordering and markdowns and such. And I just hope Zhaun's left by time I get to work today because otherwise I fear he'll tell me to come in at 4 or 5 tomorrow which I can't do because I don't get off until 7 tonight. It's a struggle to unwind and get to bed after a 7:00 shift and I always end up staying up until 9 at least. I can't be getting up at 3AM after staying up till 9. It's just a key retailing walk.

I don't know what to do with myself. I have about 20 minutes until 10:00, I go in at 11, I'm done with everything I could want to do online and have been doing pointless nothings for the past hour or two. I feel I should do something but why. And what. I also need to eat something even though I'm not hungry, otherwise I'll be hungry later.*sigh* Five months, though!

I figure on Wednesday we'll look around at prices on stuff, maybe wood stove piping since we need that before winter's too far over. And I want to look in the thrift stores and see what I see there, I have a little list of things to keep an eye out for. We also need to get a calender. And the new Death Troopers book Star Wars: Red Harvest came out today. So I need to pick that up.

My neck and arm keep hurting but Victor can't find anything wrong with them. He says it's probably just where the nerve was damaged for so long it's regrowing or healing or the nerves aren't used to feeling and they're getting used to it again. Or something. I'm sure it'll get better. Probably not since I'm the one who's going to have to break down and work the freight all week.

The rest of Christmas day was pretty nice. We had taco casserole and watched UHF. We were so comfortable while watching it. Victor put his head on my lap and fell asleep and we were sprawled and cuddly and it was just so nice. I was so relaxed and content. It was like a preview of what life is going to be like later on.
