NoJoMo Day 24: prepping

First off: Thank you for the wonderful supportive notes everyone, they meant a lot to see first thing this morning.

Okay, moving on.

Last night was a pretty good night. I had a few drinks. I hung out with some fun friends. I even got to see Isaac for a few hours which was a nice bonus. I had to clean up Kaylee’s vomit at the end of the night though which wasn’t so much fun. Still it was worth it.

And I will finally admit that yes, I am kind of, sort of, maybe falling for Isaac. 2 months later, yeah, the guy is pretty much the most amazing guy I’ve ever met, barring those few moments when he does that whole ‘thoughtful withdrawing from the world’ thing. This sucks. I don’t want to fall for him. I don’t want to fall for any guy. Never again! It’s too much work, it’s too much risk. End of story. I also sort of told him I was falling for him last night. It was mildly alcohol induced but still! The worst part? He said he was falling for me too. *headdesk* Not how I planned this. I don’t want to deal with this nonsense again. I’m just managing to duct tape the pieces back together after Quinn and that took most of a year!!! The last night I need is to fall for some soldier and put myself out on the line like that again just to be let down when it falls apart like it always does. And please, don’t sit there and say "he might be different" because the key word in that sentence is might. He might not be different and that’s what matters. Might doesn’t keep me from getting hurt.

*sigh* I really don’t want to work today, especially not for 8 hours. Considering how crazy busy we’ve been so far this week. Freaking holidays are making people wig out. They are going on trips so they are trying to make sure they won’t run out of meds. Me and one of the pharmacists were joking about how we’re filling a ton of narcotic scripts lately and how it must be because people are prepping to deal with their families for a whole 48+ hours so they need the good stuff to relax them so they don’t kill anyone. It’s kind of crass but still. We really are filling an abnormally high number of narcotics in the last 2-3 days (at least for our little pharmacy). Oh well. Gotta do what I gotta do. Still looking for the silver lining. I’m not sure when I’ll get paid this week since banks are closed on Thursday, will it still deposit on Friday? It didn’t deposit today that’s for sure LOL. So my guess is it will deposit on Friday like it normally would. I don’t remember if I had direct deposit for Black Friday last year or if I did, what day it actually deposited on. I’ll live. It’s not like I’ll be going out shopping on Black Friday, I’ll be working until 2:30 and then, if I feel up to it, I might go shopping. But apparently Old Navy is planning to open at midnight so I might try to get to that one. Catch some sleep right after the movie (traditional thing: my uncle and I escape from the family after dinner and see a movie) but still. I feel like people will be lining up anyway and I’d have to be there and I can’t really be there. At some point I need to sleep since I have to be at work at 4:30am. *sigh* But they are open on Thanksgiving too. Which is weird. First Kmart, now a lot of other places are open on Thanksgiving with sales…weird. We’ll see. First thing is first. I have to get through work today and work tomorrow then dinner.

Ok, time to go and get ready for work, including packing my lunch. Much as I’d like to buy a WaWa sub for lunch, I have food for once to take to work so I’m going to go that route.
