Last night, I went out again - did I post last week about not wanting to drink anymore? Well, I decided that, rather than cut it out completely, I'm just not going to be drinking *as an activity*. Went to a show my friends 2-pc band were in last night. Ran into a bunch of people I knew, had several beers, talked a lot (unfortunately, didn't see one girl I was hoping would make it out). Did find out that she'll be singing next week with her band at the same venue, so at least I have plans for next weekend. I think knowing that helps, because I don't really feel a need to go out this week at all; kind of like saving up for that night!
I did have too many drinks last night though. Would have been fine had I just stayed at the venue, but I got restless & hit three other bars. Those were the drinks that put me over the edge, I think. Didn't get to bed until after 3:30a, woke up once around 5:30a, around 8:30, then again at 9a, 10:30a, and 11:30, which is when I finally got up. I felt like hell for most of them, started feeling human again by 10:30, then took some milk thistle capsules & had a small pot of hazelnut coffee to get going. Had to take it easy for most of the afternoon, but I eventually got motivated, made up a workout spreadsheet in excel, and went down to start lifting. Got my basic (scaled down) workout in, grabbed chinese for dinner & watched a couple movies on tv, then went for a run tonight. Only ran a mile, but it was pretty difficult, as I was still a bit full from dinner, and I haven't run in a month. I've got this planned out to lift again tomorrow, maybe run too, and then lift again Wed. After that, I'm going to start doing a Fri/Sat, Mon/Tues. routine, and just throw some running in when I can. Felt pretty good to get moving again, I just hope I can keep the motivation up to stick with it.
Furnace guy is supposed to start the installation tomorrow - he's already dropped off supplies, so he can start first thing in the morning. I can't wait to get this thing working...
Oh! Remember me mentioning the cashier at the local store a little bit ago? The one that I hadn't really been paying attention to, but thought might have been cute? She was working again tonight, and I made a point of going to her lane, to get a better idea. I was right, she's cute, and she's got beautiful blue eyes, jet black hair (dyed, I'm sure - couldn't tell on her hair style, was kind of up, but not!? At least some of it was longer! lol) and glasses. I still didn't get a great look at her though, cuz I got nervous & didn't want to stare! I asked her how she was doing (lame, I know...), she responded with a typical 'pretty good', finished ringing my stuff up, and after longer than I would have expected she piped up with 'I'll be doing better in 40 minutes' (I assume she was trying to keep the convo going - I wonder... think she might have been nervous too? Or am I just projecting?). I asked her if anything was going on anywhere tonight, thinking that maybe she was going to get out of work & go do something. She said 'I'm sure there's a lot going on, but I've got to do homework'. So, I know she's a student, and now I wonder how old she is? She seemed like she was being pretty friendly with me, I wish I knew whether I should/how to ask her out. I do know now that she works Sunday evenings though, as those are the only two times I've ever seen her there, so guess where I'm going to be next Sunday!? *grin* I'm not sure, but it's entirely possible that she lives just up the street from me - there's a girl I've seen there who has very similar, black hair, but I've never seen her close enough to be able to tell. What are the chances, I wonder? I'm going to have to put some effort into being outside a little more so I can hopefully find out.
Gods, I wish I was better at this whole dating thing - but I guess if something's meant to happen, the universe will allow me to act in a way to make it so, yes? I'm open to any input anyone may wish to offer regarding this 'student-cashier' girl (I'll have to come up with a nickname for her if she keeps showing up in this journal!).
