You don’t care, you never did. You never did. You never did. I always let myself forget. What a mockery.
I just hopped the bus on Gallatin pike to get to work. I will get downtown only catch the 12 bus to Nolensville road. One positive to catching the bus is you get hit on every time you catch a bus. Some guy just gave me his card with his phone number and room number at the hotel he’s staying at. The old me would’ve jumped at the opportunity not because I was attracted to him but because I’d take him for every dime he had and more than likely succeed. Today, I need money but not that back and for that I am grateful. I got to hang out with Jess last might. And for those 2 hours everything disappeared. I didn’t have a care in the world other than not wanting our time together to end but all things must come to and end. I’m just so happy I got to spend that time with him. He’s my rock whether I like it or not. My boss wants to fire Crissy, my friend that got me the job. It makes me feel good but also guilty because she’d lose her job and I’d keep mine. That’s all I have to say right now. Eleven days, of course.

I had myself a very minor surgery. They prescribed me some very mild pain killers. I feel them in my face and chest. It all reminds me of how happy I am today. So happy, that the minor debauchery felt behind my eyes is nothing more than a nuisance. I’m so grateful go be alive.
I’ve lost access to both my original blogs. I’m using this one to save some of those memories.
