Good evening readers. I have been in an odd mood lately. I don't know why but for some reason I feel it has something to do with my last blog post. It's hard to explain. I don't have much to talk about tonight so I decided to give you a walk through of the day I had today. It starts off with me awakening from my alarm clock on my new phone. It wasn't nearly as loud as I would have hoped it would be but I still have some settings I can mess with. I roll out of bed and get dressed in my usual work attire, a stained white t-shirt grease stained jeans my beanie and my brown hoodie. I could either be considered extremely fashionable or a bum. I tend to feel like more of a bum in my work clothes. After getting dressed I got a drink of water which I can not drink to fast because it is hard for me to breathe in the morning and I feel like I am suffocating when I drink a glass of water. I then messed with my phone for a few minutes as I waited for my dad to get up and get ready to leave. The car ride was average for me and my dad, no spoken words except "see ya" when I get out. After I arrived at work and messed with my phone and texted Emily while I waited for 7:00 AM to roll around. Once it was 7 I walked out into the shop asking everyone what they knew about the move we were scheduled to do today. Everyone said that it was an 11,000 load, which if you know nothing about moving is a decent amount. Everyone bitched about how much bullshit moves are as we gathered up mattress bags and pads to put into the rented uhaul truck. Then we stood around and bitched about moving some more until it was time to go. I rode with Billy as I usually do because Billy and I are now the only 2 people at work who don't smoke, and Billy is really the only person I can really stand to be around for extended periods of time. The move was only a few miles away which was unfortunate because I like long car rides. After arriving at the destination we exit our respective vehicles and congregate around the garage door of the house and speak with the elderly man who is the resident of this humble abode in which we will be emptying of all their worldly possessions. He clears up the few questions we have and we promptly get to unloading the house and loading up the trucks. We started with boxes and small soft things. There was a bag of stuffed animals in the one bedroom which I picked up and started to carry out. On my way out I saw a teddy bear sitting on the couch next to the husband of the couple we were moving. I politely asked if it was being moved and the older man replied with a yes. So i picked it up and started walking out to the truck. As I was walking away I heard the husband let out a sad sounding "bye". For some reason that made me really sad. Call me emotional I don't care. After that the rest of the move is a blur. Just picking up heavy articles of furniture and sitting them in a truck. We finished loading at about 11:30 and got back to the shop at about 11:45. When we got back I started stitching boxes together by hand with a pneumatic staple gun. I normally don't mind stitching but today I was just in no mood to stitch at all. Luckily for me I did it for the rest of the day non stop. After work was over I walked to Emily's house. This was by far the best part of my day. It's like my entire day consists of me being underwater and when I look up from my phone and see her walking towards me on the sidewalk it's a breath of fresh air. We hugged and kissed and walked back to her house as she told me we had to walk into town to get some things for her mom. After we got to her house I asked how her cat Junior was doing because he has been sick. Emily her mom and I talked about that for a while. Then we started talking about ringtones on our cellphones when Emily's mom's friend Cody got back from getting cigarettes. Cody said he was thirsty so Emily's mom volunteered her to make Kool-Aid for him. I was messing with the GPS feature on my phone and walked out into the kitchen to show Emily that my phone said I was sitting in the middle of the river. Emily then poured Cody a glass of bright blue Kool-Aid and offered me one also. After drinking my beverage I told Emily that my mom was coming at 5 to get me so we better go to the store now. We said bye to everyone and started walking down the street hand in hand. As we were walking past this one house a lady emerges from her front door in a full out conversation. I didn't see anyone else around so I thought she was talking to herself but Emily explained to me that her husband isn't around a lot so she talks to her cats. I told her that I thought that was sad. We continued walking saying that we were hungry the whole time. When we got to the store we wondered around looking for things we could eat on the way back. I decided on 2 chocolate eclairs and a small container of macaroni salad. Emily picked up the few things her mom needed and we paid for our items and left the store. As we were walking through the parking lot I opened the eclairs and gave one to Emily. She said she has never had an eclair before. I told her they were French. Once we got to about the end of the grocery store parking lot someone beeped so I turned around and looked acting like I was drunk. After that I started to stumble around slurring my words and Emily told me I was going to get picked up for being drunk in public. I finished my eclair and threw the container that it came in onto a pile of garbage in front of a dumpster and started eating my macaroni salad. We walked back to Emily's house and when we were about to get onto her street my phone rang and it was my sister. She was freaking out because I wasn't at Emily's house when they went there to pick me up. I told her where I was and was about to cross the busy street when Emily yelled at me and told me to wait for a car to pass. As I was hanging up the phone Emily was starting to run across the street. She didn't see a white van speeding towards her at about 45 miles an hour and ran out in front of it. I didn't have time to even yell at her to stop. As I saw the van swerve and miss her by less than a foot my heart skipped a beat. We then walked across the street and my mom came and picked us up and gave us a ride back to Emily's house. I kissed her goodbye and explained her near death experience with my mom and my sister. My heart was still racing and I was still in a state of minor panic. I talked to my mom and sister about my mom's friends and which ones I don't like. When I arrived at home I sat around for about 15 minutes and texted Emily. I then decided to get a shower so I turned on the internet radio on my phone and proceeded to get in the shower. After that I went to my room and messed with my phone and texted Emily until I fell asleep. I was awoken by a phone call from Emily. I am glad she called because I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight if she didn't call me. After texting her for a bit more I started writing in my blog. And now I am here. I don't know what else to say so I guess I will put up an acoustic version of one of my favroite KoRn songs. I love you Emily.
