Best Sunday Ever.

Today has been such a good day.

I woke up around 11:30, which was lovely, seeing as that I'm used to waking up at 7 for work. This is the first Sunday I haven't had to work in months. I got up and made waffles for Jen and I, and then we both took showers and lazed around a bit. Then we finally got up and went to the store to get ingredients for dinner tonight. I'm going to make spaghetti and I'm going to make Leo's special sauce.

So then we're at Walmart and Jen goes, "Wanna go longboarding after this?" And I'm like "Uhm, yeah, of course." So we got in the car, and I'm drinking like two gallons of cranberry juice, and enjoying the breeze blowing through my hair, and the sunshine, glad that it's finally summer. But then Robert calls. He's Jen's boyfriend in Washington. They started dating a couple months before she moved down here, and it's been nothing but an emotional roller coaster for both of them. They fight nearly every day, they don't trust each other at all. Jen had told me over waffles this morning, "Rob and I got in a fight last night." "About what?" I asked with my mouth stuffed because I was inexplicably starving this morning. "I don't know..." She always starts out this way. She wants me to gently poke and prod to test whether or not I really care. She finally admitted, "He's been flirting with this girl and he doesn't see what's wrong with that, and he says flirting is fine, but not when I do it because then he freaks out, and ugh! I'm so frustrated." The conversation last night apparently did not end well, because she pulled over to let me drive to the park so that she could give her full attention to the impending argument at hand.

Needless to say there was much yelling, and it kinda killed my Sunday buzz a little, but then she got off the phone. Or rather, hung up the phone, and we parked and long boarded for a bit. But it was so hot today! And by this time it'd been about four hours since I'd eaten anything, so we went home and we made sandwiches.

Amidst sandwich eating I realized that I had a head of lettuce that was about to go bad, so I thought, well hey I bet the guinea pigs would love this. And I texted Leo asking if he'd like me to bring it over for them. He replied with "sure". See, I can't quite figure out whether he knows about my engagement or not. He's sort of hot and cold with me. I've decided that he's still hurt over our break up and just can't quite figure out how to behave around me. And I understand that; I've been in that boat before. It sucks. It's a shitty boat to be in. All broken sails and dirty decks and the like. So I'm like, "Okay well Jen and I are going to go to the pool, so we'll bring it over on our way." And he's like "Lol me and stephen are going to the pool too!" Okay...so we've got one short, spiky text, and then I get an Lol? He's all over the place.

And then Jen and I go over there with the lettuce and he's totally cold towards me. Very strange.

We go to the pool and Jen and I just laid out for a while. (I'm attempting to get somewhat of a tan before Austin comes to visit in July. As well as attempting to lose those ten pounds that I've been trying to lose since before coming out of the womb pretty much. We'll see about that one.) Then Leo and his friends come into the pool area too and sit right next to us...

At this point Austin and I are arguing via text message, because I told him I went to Leo's to see the pigs. And he goes...oh...cool. And I'm like, I just wanted to drop off some food. And he's like, dropping off food for your ex boyfriend...cool. And I'm like, no, for the pigs! And then he's like, grumble grumble grumble. And I'm like, cool your jets cowboy!

But in reality he's saying, "I just worry, your ex boyfriend is there, and I'm not. And you told me last night that you still think about him sometimes and care about him, and then today you go over to his house out of the blue to see your pigs. I think my concerns are valid." And I told him, "I agree, I understand where you're coming from." And then I kinda laid out my perspective on the situation, and we came to a good conclusion. He just wanted to be sure that I don't have romantic feelings for him anymore, and I don't, so problem solved. I know he'll continue to worry about it from time to time though. I need to work on being more reassuring.

But anyway, twas a good day. It was relaxing and I got physical activity, and I got a little color. And in about an hour, I'm going to make awesome spaghetti! Best day ever.
