The pain isn't there anymore. I was sitting in my living room, and, watching LOTR Two Towers S.E. for the upteenth time, and, it hit me. I don't miss her anymore.
I miss the routine. If we were together, I'd come home, and, she'd be waiting up for me. I remember when I gave her a copy of the key to the apartment. Man, my mom went
APE SHIT! Even after suggesting that M move in with us because she didn't (and probably still doesn't) like it at home. Geez, the shit she gave me.
What if she takes something?
What if something turns up missing?
Please, dumbass. Her dad makes twice as much as my dad, and, still has her mom's income to boot. They put both her and her older brother through college, without loans, mind you. Please, I went to a public college and my dad went apeshit over that tuition. I had to go get scholarships. SCHOLARSHIPS!!!!!! Please. Whatever.
I had to go back and edit my last entry. I had a brain fart and forgot how to spell "though". High quality publik edookashun.
Phooey.
It's 2am, and, I can't sleep just yet. Part of it is the whole "mouse" problem we have. Ever since that stupid garbage workers strike, we've had mice. Actually, just more of them. My neighbors downstairs love to leave food out on the counters, and, chairs. As in uncovered, uncontained. I've bitched at my landlady twice, but, I'd get a better response from the walls. At least I'd hear my echo. Seeing mice saunter across your dining room floor is a pretty good enough reason to want to leave. Yes, I said
saunter.
Not run like bats out of hell, or, faster than a speeding bullet.
Saunter, waltz, stroll.
It's like there are fifty people living in a two bedroom apartment. No, they are not Hispanic, lemme just stop you right there. I think they are eastern European. Still, it's weird. They are so poor, they dress their youngest son in girl's clothes. Like hand-me-downs and crap like that. No, actually, they are not poor. They are cheap. These people just bought both a Honda Accord EX and a Volkswagen Golf. It's messed up. For a while, there was a bet going between me, my mom and the lady on the first floor as to the sex of that kid. Ugh.
Perhaps I am more tired than I think. I digress.
I would come home from work, and, she'd be waiting for me, all ready for bed. I would change, then get ready for bed as we would talk about stuff at work. I'd climb into bed, and, watch her fall asleep.
At this time of the year, I'd be sleeping next to the window, because of the cold. We'd wake up around 10 or 11 the next morning, and, we'd make breakfast together. After that, we'd take a shower together, then plan our day while getting dressed. Plans usually involved dinner out and a movie, unless the cash flow was a little tight. Then it would be us making dinner and eating while watching one of several movies we picked out.
Funny how I can write this without tears now. Many good memories that I hold, once which would bring me to tears, now put a smile on my face. Creates a longing for such precious times once again, but, not necessarily a longing to be with the same person. I love how I felt in those times, but, I'm not stupid enough to go back to the source of those memories. There would be more pain now than the happiness would be worth.
In my crystal ball I see, two terminations and an action plan for me. Yeah, my GM will probably be going back to being an AM if my fellow sups don't get their shit together. As in like, oh, yesterday. Even better, two days ago.
Sheesh, this is a long one. I feel obligated to hand out virtual hankies or something. I feel like starting a new project, but, I don't know what just yet. I'll figure out something. I always do.
