The Elleon sighting

Last two days have been boring, so not much to blog about. Yesterday I got so bored at work I left pretty much after 5pm and went straight to the gym cause dad had the car. Soooooo many people at the gym at Wick at that time, don't think I'll go at that time again.

Waking up the last couple of days, I think my knee is feeling better. As usual, went to the gym this morning, then home and to work.

I think Alanna and I are cool again (or at least, I feel so). I went to her room and offered her some M&Ms in the morning and she said it was too early for them, and I asked her about the hearing on Friday which was originally mine. She seemed quite happy to talk about it.

I finished off a brief in the morning, that's like my 8th for the month, that's one per day! I think I need more of a challenge. I wanted to ask Heath a question but couldn't find him, so I sent him an email. At about 11:30 he called and asked if I wanted to go with him to get a coffee, so I said yes.

I met him down in the lobby and we walked to the cafe around the corner as we talked about the question I had. I don't know why, but I knew he'd be interested in the issue and he'd be able to talk constructively about it. Anyway, at the cafe, as we stood and waited, I saw a girl who looked like Elleon talking to a guy (I think he was the tall guy from SLA). I didn't have my glasses on, so I thought it was some other girl who looked like Elleon. This girl looked a bit more corporate, with black rimmed glasses.

I half talked to Heath and half kept glancing over. On about the third time, she looked at me and waved. It was Elleon. I smiled and waved back. I couldn't help but feel a bit jealous, and I thought about this for the rest of the day.

Does she like him? Did he like her?

Was it a big deal? I mean, you go to lunch with Karina, and there's nothing there.

Yeah but we work in the same office, they just met at court.

Was she sharing food like she did with you? No. Was she flirting? No. Why worry? She's not even your girlfriend? And I thought you weren't even that interested.

I wasn't. Until now. Jealousy does some strange things.

The logical side of me told me to not worry and just move on. Although I felt like I had run out of options, I was sure there would be others. Besides, I enjoyed being single and going whoring whenever I wanted. The emotional side of me just wanted to...make her exclusively mine.

That sighting was enough to make me want to go out for a walk during lunch, and I didn't feel like saving money by having canned soup or whatever. I ended up getting lasagne and eating it back in my office.

I went to Karina's office in the afternoon and asked if she wanted to go get some candy. She got ready to go and then said she probably wasn't feeling too well after having eaten a whole pack of chocolate. I said maybe she shouldn't go, and she looked at me for a long time as if interpreting it as I didn't want her to go. She offered me a boiler lolly and we started talking about work.

I went to her again later, which was probably a mistake. I needed to find a case in the library and thought it might be an adventure, so I asked her. She said no because she needed to finish off her work. Ok, I think you're getting annoying. Don't even approach her tomorrow. Or Friday.

Rheem came to my room and started talking to me. She was looking at my certificates, and then at my quotes, then we ended up talking about each other's past. She has this really generous and friendly smile. If she wasn't pregnant I would've (mistakenly) thought she was interested in me. She reminds me of Bush, not just because she's pregnant, but she's so friendly.

Ogre also came to my room to talk to me. I was starting to wonder why all these people higher up were being so friendly to me. Did they do the same to Lewis? Katie? Yoshi?

Because of the Elleon thing, I started thinking maybe I should go whoring. I wanted to see Hana but she didn't work on Wednesdays. I wanted to go to that Naby place, and really thought about it. I came home after work and thought some more, but then ended up just going to the gym.

At the gym, I did a bit of light jumping up and down, and it felt good. A few days ago I actually got the urge to do a jump stop in my hallway and did it, just like pre-surgery. After my gym session, I also lightly jogged down the stairs, and that felt fine.

When I press my knee against the wall, I find I can do it fairly well now, pressing a large portion of my calve against the wall, but probably still not as much as my good leg.
