It's funny how the heart starts to flutter when someone you loved seems near, but you know they are far!! I also like realising  when that special someone gets online......it brightens my day that I noticed!!
I woke up early to catch my NFL Pittsburgh Steelers on ESPN. As I was watching, I logged on to Facebook and realised that Mr. B had been online and taken my recommendation of a photo for his profile pic. He also became a "Fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers" group as well, which was another recommendation of mine. For some reason this gave me a funny flutter in my gut and set my brain in motion. I  knew he would be watching the game, because it was live on ESPN........you may ask....."how did I know?" he was watching the game at the same time.......that would be because I pranked called his house and could hear the game playing in the background, while his wife (3rd wife) kept saying "Hello.......Hello........Hello", I sat there very quiet and just listened. I know it's wrong to prank call people but I would like to believe that he knows its me when I just sit and listen. I don't ever speak because I once told him that I would never mess up his life. Maybe wife #3 wouldn't like it very much if she knew he was friends with his old lover. I also once told him that I was his internet stalker.......well did I lie? NOPE!! I'm not really stalking him but I find prank calls funny. There's a whole other story behind the funny prank calls that I won't go into in this blog......maybe some other time!!
After the game, I headed off to our local mall to finish my Christmas shopping. I would have to say that this year has been the hardest. I have no idea what to get my boys. The bigger problem is "how much do I spend?". My eldest son lives away from home so obviously "Santa" wont be stopping at our house for him. I have no idea how I will explain this to my 7 year old if she asks why "Santa" did stop for her brother. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it, hopefully there will be a detour that I can take, lol. I've just resigned myself to be happy with what I've given them and leave it at that.
I made it home from Retail Therapy just in the nick of time. I had to hurry off to work. I didn't really feel like working but knowing that we were only working for 4 hours was a relief. To mine and others on shift surprise, after 2 hours on the floor, rumours flew saying that we were going to be staying the entire night. I need the money but it would have been nice to have been better prepared mentally for the 12 hours shift ahead of me. I think this caught a few on our shift by surprise. Beetroot was madder than a hornets nest that was hit with a stick. It appeared that no one had the right amount of sleep because everyone was only expecting to work 4 hours, then go home and curl up in our beds for the required nights sleep. Faith, the permanent packer seemed a little upset with the boys and voiced herself loudly. I think this realisation hit Glam pretty hard, she admitted to being psychology affected because she forgot her asthma inhaler. I can imagine that realising your inhaler is at home would bring on a panic asthma feeling. It worried me that she was worried. I'm glad she told me because if she would have had a full on asthma attack I had the knowledge to maybe help. The night seemed to move along quick but some turn of events happened while I was on another line which was the caused of some tears. I get very upset when I see someone else upset and my natural mother instinct is to go and mother that person. I hope I was able to help with the little comfort I offered. I have no idea what happened but I'm sure someone will fill in the blanks in due time.
