October
I never got your card. Did you mail it? I may have gone on a date last night, but I'm not sure. I went to meet someone for a beer. Oddly enough, he was a student last semester and ended up on my facebook and blah blah blah. So we have some beers, talk, go back to his house, have a few more beers, and I spent the night. And nothing happened. At all. We slept in his bed with all our clothes on. When I left this morning, he gave me a hug and said 'let's get together next week'. Okay, sure. Is that a date? It was a fun time. Talking, drinking, all that stuff. We didn't go to sleep until almost 6am. So here's the part that will make you laugh: he's 21. Yes, really.
I ran into the boy yesterday when I was visiting his mom at the hospital. I tried to leave before he got there, but he showed up earlier than I expected. I can't really describe how, but he was acting kind of funny. When I left, he walked me out. I thought he had something to say, but he didn't. Just the regular stuff. It was odd. Another odd thing: when I was talking to his mom (when I was the only one there), she said she wished her kids had turned out better. So I said, well, they turned out fine. And she said "You really think so? What's so good about them?" I was completely unprepared to defend her sons to her, especially since one of them has been jerking me around for the last four years and I'm really bad at pretending everything is perfect in those situations. So I told her neither one of them was in jail or breaking the law or killing people, so that was a plus. That was as far as I could go. It seems like she has a talent for talking about exactly what I'm unprepared to talk about. I'm almost convinced that she knows what's going on and I'm waiting for her to confront me about it. Anyway, it was a strange visit.
On a side note, I think I might have something wrong with my elbow. There's a little spot on the back that really hurts. I thought maybe it was a scratch or a bug bite or something, but I think it's actually something inside. Like maybe a bone chip or something. It's a sharp pain that hurts to the touch. It's fine as long as nothing puts pressure on it. I just noticed it this morning, but I don't remember anything happening to it.
Finally talked to my brother the other day. He's pretty much the same as always, so he seems to be back to normal. You'll be glad to know that when he called me, the first thing he did was pretend to have brain damage. Just like him. He also made me talk to his girlfriend, who I've NEVER met, which was a little awkward, especially since the only two things I know about her are that she works at a grocery store and she has a grandkid.
It's October. Thought you should know.
