It feels good to be back at work and back to a computer. I've been a whole week (probably more) without my computer. I want to thank you all for your calls, emails, concern, prayers and flowers this week. I feel much better now....so much better that I will be working this entire weekend to make up for my absence and to set up things for the summer. I can't believe how fast time flies. I'm scheduled to start my new job on the 23rd of May so I have alot to do until then. I can imagine that I'm gonna need a vacation at the end of it all. Good thing we have that road trip scheduled for the 4th of July. I just need to find something else to do until that time. My little trip last week was so relaxing and good....despite the illness. I took the train (which I had never done before) and had the time of my life! I would love to take the train again. Then when I got to Philadelphia, the train let me off on 30th street and my hotel was on 12th street. According to my map, it looked like a short walk but when I actually started doing it, it was the longest walk in the world lol. And I had clearly overpacked. I was under the assumption that I had plans that weekend but....you know lol. Anyways, as soon as I got in that room, I took the longest and hottest shower. Then I went to the mall that was attached, yes I said attached, to the hotel. I did some light shopping and stuff then checked in for the night. And the next day, I, unfortunately, had to to got the hospital. I spent the whole morning and afternoon there. It wasn't as ghetto as the hospitals in Chicago but it was a close second. I was talking to this one young guy who was homeless and got stabbed because he asked some drunk white guys for a handout. It was sad yet somewhat funny. It wasn't funny that he got stabbed and I thank God that he wasn't killed or badly wounded. But he needed to find out that you can't ask everyone for money and assume that they HAVE to give it to you. Once I got back to my room, I stayed in the bed watching movies and just relaxing. As weird as it sounds, I had fun. It was a good getaway. That Saturday was crazy though. Due to the weather, all flights were either delayed or cancelled. I think I got out on one of the last flights and I had been at the airport since 12 noon. Kevin was there and that was not pretty at all lol...smh. Then when I got to Chicago, they lost my luggage. The lady in the office asked me what distinguishing item did I have in my luggage as a way to identify it. I said I had a large bottle of unopened Nuvo wine and she typed it in and immediately said..."They found your luggage" lol. It was in Pittsburgh. The next day was Easter and even that was relaxing. I did have some unfinished business to do early that morning but it was cool. Service was great....the balcony was full...people you hadn't seen in months were there. And then there were some that weren't there like Charley, Andre, Pat, Nicole, Danny, etc. But all in all....great weekend. And I'm sure that you all are asking like Kesha and Jonathan was asking...did I see Alfonse? And the answer is yeah, I did. I saw him that Thursday night. He brought candles and flowers which was so nice of him. I really did appreciate his efforts. And I don't know if criticism following a compliment is appropriate, especially when that person was trying to do something nice. And the criticism isn't mean. What I wanted to say is that while the evening had the potential to be very nice, something was missing. What I had always fantasized about feeling or experiencing during a moment like that was a let down. And idk if it was me or him but....idk. I can't say that he didn't put forth an effort 'cause he brought all that stuff. Maybe I didn't put forth an effort...actually, I know I didn't. The whole evening was just awkward. I felt bad afterwards but that quickly faded. Some things just started to make sense and come together. We were talking and I started to get a bit emotional but quickly checked myself but acted like I was crying. He sat there and just stared at me. He didn't try to console me or anything. And he said that he froze. Now I know what some of youse are thinking....you were playing so why care? Its the principle in my opinion. If you see someone you "love" crying or upset, you immediately want to comfort them. Then against my better judgement, I told him that I loved him and missed him. He just looked at me with this empty dead look like I had just told him that I had to go to the bathroom. Isn't that a tender touching moment? But did he take advantage of it? No. Its like he says all of these things on paper but when it comes to face-to-face, its not there...I don't feel it. But inspite of, I still enjoyed my getaway. I enjoyed seeing him too lol.
This week has been so hectic. As most of youse know, I was sick. I got sick while on my getway and it carried into this week. Today is the first day I feel better. I don't want to elaborate about what the problem was/is...just know that I feel better! Thanks! I can say being stuck in the hospital and house is NOT fun at all. And no one would bring me my computer either....so sad lol. Well, time to clock out. I will finish Part II when I get home. Smooches!
