today was one of those days where nothing seemed to happen, but a lot was observed.
first i woke up at 12pm, later than i would’ve liked, but that’s working night shifts at a restaurant that’s a 50 minute commute from home for you. it’s further confirming my leave soon. maybe not immediately, but soon. perhaps very soon. money said his barber raised his prices from $15 to $25, which is wild considering the cut money gets isn’t anything out of the ordinary. i went on a long walk with bagel, came home, ate salmon that was recommended to be baked, but i ended up microwaving because i was really hungry. it was in between decent and good, so decent plus. i went upstairs, which is where i fell asleep watching yo kai watch, my favorite anime atm. as fate would have it, i woke up at 4:59pm with no alarm, as i had work at 6pm. i got to work and one of the managers offered me a bartender position. i’m leaving soon, so i was hesitant to fully accept the responsibility. half-way thru the shift, i went to the bar to get a drink for one of my tables, and i see one of our bartenders holding back tears talking to the guy she had a thing with while her and her boyfriend of 7 years were on break. apparently he really likes her but she feels she owes it to her boyfriend of 7 years to give them a chance. i guess, i’ve never been in that position, but i hope it all works out for everyone involved. after work i went to waffle house with my girl where our server was named bradley. he was a husky guy with a warm voice. i ate eggs, a waffle, and a burger. while i was eating my burger, i thought of all the burgers and late nights at the waffle house i spent with many people back home, off 55. crazy how nostalgic taste can be. my girl paid and i tipped him $10.
since we were on the southside, it took me an hour to get home through the back roads. as i was driving, i was caught up in the thought of how this was an ordinary day in the life of myself during the phase of my life where i’m still trying to figure things out.
i have a feeling i’ll miss not having all the pieces to this puzzle when it’s complete.
