Let me bore you with this.
2:18 P.M.
Killing time in the lunch room. There’s an event so half the company is out bowling and I have this big space all to myself, which I enjoy. The TV (that’s always on HGTV) isn’t even on.
Last night was the second night in a row I made some baked goods for a family member which means leaving my apartment with something freshly baked and getting into my car with it. I joked with my sister that people in my complex are going to start wondering about me like I’m putting drugs in them or something haha But then again maybe other people aren’t a quiet, curious observer the way I am. I just love baking. Especially when someone requests something.
Ah! A lady who calls me giggles just came in. I asked her about bowling. She replied, “Its weird, I actually hit some of the white things. And I didn’t come in last.” Which of course made me giggle.
I’m excited. I get to watch my sweet, little niece after work. Long enough for my mom and sister to get their lashes done. I’m obsessed with her. She’s such a doll. Getting to watch her grow every day since day one has been such a lovely experience for me. Touching even. I remember the day my sister moved out of my mom’s house (we all lived together at one point) and I cried in my car on the way home from work cause I knew I wouldn’t be seeing her as soon as I walked in the door anymore haha aww. Which makes me laugh now cause she moved literally right across the street. But still!
Anyways, I must’ve jinxed myself. The one other person who has come in here went straight for the TV. Leave it to the older guy with no smart phone chained to his wrist to want to watch the actual TV, right? lol
P.S. Am I the only one who doesn’t know how to respond to “what’s up” when used as a passing by hello? A couple of guys always say “what’s up CC?” and I’m always like *uh uhh* “not much!” (All cutesy) lol smh
Almost two years ago, my sister decided to move across the country. I hated it. I love my sister, you know? But I was so sad that I wouldn’t be seeing nieces grow up. I called them my antidepressants. So I can relate to you being upset, even though she’s still close to you. I hope you enjoy your time with your niece.
@heffay Anti-depressants, ha! That’s exactly it. I didnt even think of that. That is so heart breaking. I can’t imagine how you coped with that. I’m assuming she’s still across the country, how do you feel about it 2 years later? I know what you mean wanting to be there to watch them grow. Crazy how deeply you can really love another human. And thank you 🙂
@nothingfornow It’s still hard. Especially because my sister has had another kid since then. I have 9 nieces and nephews and none of them live close and it sucks. But when I do see them, I make sure we have a good time, so I can remain the favorite uncle. I remember when my brother had his first kid and I was an uncle for the first time, they showed me a picture and I just loved the kid immediately. I had never experienced that before. Kids are great.
