just saying: someone tell me when is it my turn?

been running like crazy all the time. Tuesday was my first full day off in almost two weeks, and then I was "rewarded" with a full day off yesterday. But, by "rewarded" I mean home with the WORST stomach flu I have ever experienced. Whatever I ate Tuesday (or whatever landed on my food and no one else's at that restaurant) made me violently ill, and I laid in bed all day recovering from my 2am-8am sick-fest. Today was much better, woke up feeling fine but ended up being dizzy and light-headed by noon, which I couldn't get rid of till nearly 8 tonight. BUT, I am now feeling as though I am recovered and ready to face a double shift of work tomorrow and Saturday.

I went on a date in the last week. Yup. Met a guy, he asked me for drinks, we went to The Wine Cellar (which was so fun), we talked, learned a little about each other, he asked me back to His house to watch an episode or two of "The Big Bang Theory", and then I went home. He walked me to my car and gave me a hug before I left. It was normal. And healthy. And whether or not I hear from him (he left on a two week cruise the next morning... so It'll be another week or so if I do), but whether or not I do, it was nice, and it was normal, and it made me realize I can be normal and date and have a good time. I can make good choices and simply meet new people and see what happens. I just wish it were a tad bit easier. I did, in fact, meet said "healthy date guy" online, which is interesting. And yeah, whatever, I may be too young for online dating, but when else am I going to meet people? I work, and I work, and I sleep. And yeah... thats all. So whatever. We'll see.

My Shelby is home!
Rick Rea moved into my house!
Josh Robinson moved into my house!
Erica and Marc both work with me now!
Buster got a haircut! (He's still the cutest dog ever)
My cousin got engaged!

This last piece of news is flipping my shit for some reason. Mostly because he's the only cousin older than me who still wasnt married/engaged. Now its like the spotlight shifts to the next cousin in-line.... bllaaaaghhh. Whatever. Its silly that this stresses me out, but still.

Next week I'm going to St. George for 3ish days to just lay in the sun and be a complete bum. I get like 3.5 whole days off work, and I can't even tell you how excited this makes me. I want a tan, and I want it asap. Books, pool, suntan lotion, sunglasses, sleep. Yes. 5 days till we leave, and I cannot wait.
