My apologies, dear hearts, for not blogging Tuesday, Wednesday or yesterday - I'm really being very lazy with my blogging at the moment. Which, obviously, is ridiculous, as I technically do nothing. But then again, that usually means I have nothing to tell you. Well, what can I talk about that is fascinating and interesting?
Tuesday was pretty terrible. Joe was supposed to be coming round to watch "Saw 2" but turned up again in a sulky, temper-ific mood. More problems at home, apparently, which meant that he couldn't fully focus or concentrate on the intricate workings of Jigsaw's fiendish mind - and suggested we went out for a drink/meal instead. We opted for Pizza Hut, and by god, it was like taking a TODDLER out. Seriously. During the course of the meal he shot me with his straw "laser gun," played the straw "flute," conducted the background music with his straw "baton" - and then asked the waiter at the end if he had any more straws he could take home and play with. He's 25.
So, I went home, all pissed off and frustrated. To his credit, he acknowledged he was being incredibly childish, and deduced that him regressing into his child-state was probably an adverse reaction to the troubles at home. I suddenly felt extremely guilty for being such a judgemental bitch. It's not as if I'M the most mature person in the world......
Wednesday was boring. Had a shift at work that went quite well - £7 tips! Made a mental note to wear a skirt and show off my legs more (thank you heatwave).
Thursday was spectacularly wonderful. Why, I hear you ask? Because it was the day Shaun FINALLY returned from his 6 months travelling. 4pm found us all gathered in the airport, me conspicuously clutching a "Welcome Home!" helium balloon. Well, through the door they finally came. I lifted him off his feet and fought the urge to join Mum in the weeping. Rather annoyingly he spent all evening hanging out with his friends in his bedroom (after a giant-ass Chinese Mum bought) but it was brilliant to have him home. And he LOVED the collage I made him and stuck up on his bedroom wall. To clarify - I printed the best of his holiday photos off Facebook, cut them into postcards, laminated them, and arranged them on his wall. It took about 8 hours over 2 days, but by George I did it. And felt a slight twinge of pride as he excitedly exclaimed over it all.
Had to rush off to Deaf Class after returning from the airport, but it was fun - mainly cos half the class (the annoying half) were away on holiday, so we just practised for the exam (which is next week - *gulp*) and Joe took me straight home afterwards. And I learned how to sign the word "vibrator." In all fairness, it was during a conversation about my previous job at Ann Summers, and the mime is pretty much as you would expect to be. Truth be told, I got a tad carried away and started miming the "end" swirling clockwise. Fun times!
So Shaun is home, and all is right with the world. We went for breakfast at Mum's shop this morning. I discovered that MJ's last rehearsal video has been leaked (crikey, he's still got it. Although the little smile at the end breaks my heart, considering what's coming.....).
I'm also going to Joe's tonight to cheer him up (hopefully). Wish me luck!
