When life attacks.

So, you may or may not have noticed that I've been absent the past few days. Let's just say that life decided I had too much spare time on my hands and insisted of throwing everything it had at me.

When I left you last it was to take part in and 'emergency girls night' to help cheer up Rita after her boyfriend of almost a year broke up with her. It was both a success and a horrible idea. It started off alright, a horribly cheesy romance movie, hot pizza and wine making quite the relaxing combo. Things didn't get crazy until the second bottle of wine and Lucinda's bright idea to cook something. Against my better judgement I let both Lucy and Rita into the kitchen when they promptly managed to set a tea towel on fire and leave a number of scorch marks on the bench. Thankfully I was sober enough to prevent them burning down the entire kitchen.

On the plus side, we were able to keep Rita from thinking about Darren for the entire night.

Work was okay for the next couple of days until Darren showed up. He walked me to give Rita a message from him. Apparently she wouldn't answer any of his calls and he wanted to let her know that he regretted breaking it off with her. He wouldn't leave me alone until I promised to at least try and get Rita to talk to him. My boss was pretty pissed about that, telling me to keep my personal issues at home. I figured she wouldn't see the humour if I told her he wasn't my issue.

Apparently Rita's talking to him again now. I know because he came in the next day to let me know how grateful he was. I wish he could have shown his gratitude by maybe leaving me alone while I'm at work.

Speaking of work, I get tomorrow morning off. Usually I only work during the day but Friday's we are open late and my boss bribed me with the morning off to get me to work late afternoon until closing. I don't mind that much, having the morning off gives me time to do all the other things I don't have time to do during the rest of the week.

Well, I think I'll turn in early tonight so I don't sleep in tomorrow. I want to make the most of my half day off.
