No Lilly :(
On Friday morning I was half conscious in the early morning and got up when the alarm went off. I got up to turn it off, then went back to bed, telling myself (as usual) that I'd just lie down for a few more minutes. I think I was starting to drift off to sleep, when I heard a 'buzz' kinda sound in my right ear. It was a bit like a record or CD skipping. I don't know where it came from or what caused it, but it was like it was made to get me out of bed. Weird.
I got ready and left home at about 6:20am. It was nice to drive the company car, that was probably one of the perks of doing a list. I was pretty alright when I left home, but after I got onto the freeway I felt nature call. I probably could've made it all the way there, but for safety sake (I've learned to never take chances with these things) I stopped at a Macca's on the way to use the bathroom. I continued my journey and made it there at about 8:30am.
I walked around the block before returning to the car to rest my eyes. The trip had really tired me out. I was tired, yet nervous about the list. Nervous about missing something, nervous about not knowing what might happen.
At 9am I dragged the extremely heavy trolley (maybe the boss had a point, but I reckon so did I) into the court building, only to sit around and wait for another 40 minutes before the courtroom opened. I walked in and set myself up. To my surprise, only one lawyer came to me asking for something. I would've thought I was in the wrong room if I hadn't of earlier asked the cofficer whether this was the right room.
Everything turned out to be ok. The mag was pretty cruisy. There was only one breach matter which caused a bit of trouble. I knew it was trouble because the instruction sheet was like six pages long and it was to correct something rather trivial. That's one thing I hate about this office, they're too pedantic.
At morning tea I had to call Alanna with a question I had. It was like:
Me: Hey it's me, how are you?
Her: Goooooood... [in a suspicious tone]
Hehe. I asked her the question, she called the breach guy up and then called me back. The girl doing the LA list also came to talk to me a bit. Turns out she's only been there for a few weeks.
I finished the list before lunch, so decided to take my time getting back. I went into a conference room to write up most of the files, then put the suitcase in the car and went to get a Subway sandwich. I filled up the car with petrol and then started the drive back. Don't know why, but the drive back always seems shorter than the drive there.
I reckon I got to the office after 3:30pm. Erin came to ask me if I was crazy for coming back. I said Alanna would give me an early mark if I came back. She said not coming back was the early mark, lol.
I was going to talk to Alanna about my day, but saw Erin in there with her, so decided to return the car keys first. When I came back, I decided to check again. Still talking. When she was finally free, I went to see her and she told me not to wear my tag when walking because it sounds like I'm Wendy, lol.
Anyway, I told her about the day, just a couple of stories, nothing really exciting. I found myself at the end with nothing to say. When I got up to leave she told me ehr heel had broken, and stood up. I noticed the dress she was wearing was quite nice with a ribbon on the back. She is quite a fancy dresser. She turned around and lifted one leg up to show me. I was a bit like "errr...this is approaching inappropriate display" and just awkwardly commented on her shoes.
I went to talk to Karina, and ended up talking for longer than I intended. We ended up talking about exercises in the gym and diets. She got down on the floor to show me what planks were, and I was hoping to god that the boss or Lynette didn't walk pass.
I went with her to look for Turk, didn't find her but ended up in a group convo with Zena and Dugon. Lewis mentioned that he didn't have Word, so I told him to download it. He said he needed a code, and I said torrent, and Zena laughed about how I had suggested something illegal. I then somehow made a stupid joke about me downloading movies, which wasn't exactly true since I don't have the cap space to download movies regularly.
Apparently there was a farewell drinks for Kim at a bar, but I didn't go, citing gym as the reason. I actually did end up going to the gym, saw that girl there with a couple of guys trying to chat her up, which for some reason made me upset and work out harder. I had walked to the gym and walked back home, mainly to save a bus ticket, but also I guess it was to test my left knee. It survived the walk.
Today I went to the park for a jog. I didn't set a goal, except to try to get enough momentum to break a sweat. My main goal was to see if my knee/s would hold up. When I first started, my right knee started feeling a bit uncomfortable after a few minutes, so I started walking. When I got to the cafeteria I started jogging again, and my right knee was fine, but I felt my left knee starting to get that all too familiar jingle, signally inflammation. I walked, and then started jogging later, only to feel a stronger jingle this time, so I walked the rest of the way.
I wasn't sure the first time, but the second jingle really confirmed it for me - I had aggravated my left knee. This comeback had started too soon. Maybe a week too soon. I guess sometimes being lazy has its downside. I wondered if I'd be able to see Lilly today, because if my knee started hurting, there'd be no way I could take those stairs. But I knew, with a bit of rest my knee would 'reset'.
I went home, had breakfast and then washed the car. I had a shower and then drove out to the office to do some work. There is a girl with a sticker in her office and I've always wondered what it said, so I took a quick peek. It said "fruit", which I guess is a reminder to eat fruit. As I headed back to my room, I heard a door close.
Shit. Had someone just come in and seen me walk into that girl's room?
I went back to my office before deciding to check it out. I saw a girl sitting in Turk's room. I then went back to my room and saw Turk there. She said she had come in to do some work and brought her sister in. She whinged about Erin for a bit before we split to do our work. I finished writing up the list files and then resumed work on a brief.
Turk left at about 1-ish My plan was this:
I'd call up the place and make a booking for Lilly. I'd go buy some chocolate strawberries and once we got into the room, I'd ask her to close her eyes and feed one to her. We'd make sweet sweet love and then I'd hold her until time was up. Then I might catch a movie.
This is what happened: I called up and was told it was her day off. I repeated "day off?", shocked and surprised. I was extremely disappointed. I guess I shouldn't expect things like this because the fall from expectation is so great. I was left with "now what?"
I went into a bit of panic mode. I was convinced I needed to punt, somewhere, anywhere. I went to look for chocolate strawberries for netx time, but couldn't find them anyway. I went to my car and called up the massage place. Hana was still not back yet. That made me even more sad.
It was even worse given that I had taken the car from my dad for the day. As if it wasn't bad enough that I only wanted it for punting, but now it turns out I didn't need it at all!
I thought about going to another place before deciding to just go to the gym and go for a swim. I had the usual thoughts about Lilly: was she sick? Did she just want a day out for fun? It felt like a personal attack on me, but of course, that was silly. I don't think she would've known I'd be there today, and I don't think she knows of my 'plan' to see her every Saturday at 3pm.
I went to a take away store near my home to get some lunch. It started raining just as I was heading back to my car. I rushed to get it back safely into my garage. I managed to get it in with a few drops on it, but mainly it was ok. I headed up the stairs with my chicken and chips when I saw my mom who asked me to drive her to the laundromat.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
So I took the car back out, got it totally smashed by the rain, not to mention my food getting colder, to drive her there.
I eventually made it back home to have my lunch while watching tv.
I bummed around at home before going for a swim. Got to the pool at close to 7pm. I managed to find one empty lane, which was perfect. There were two guys in my usual lane number 8, just standing there talking. After I did a lap, a guy jumped in and started paddling with a board. He was going soooooooo slow.
Are you serious?
I had to wait for him to get close to coming back to me before I could go, and when I passed him he had to stop. So I did a few laps like that - one lap at a time, and when I completed one I had to wait for him to almost come back before I went again. I didn't mind, I was patient with him because he obviously wasn't a very good swimmer, but I wondered why he didn't go into a slow lane.
After a while he left, and I was free to do my stuff. Then another guy came in, who seemed to enjoy resting at each end. Then he left and I had the lane to myself again. I did 15 laps in total before leaving at about 7:30pm.
I went to get some bread, orange juice and chips for the classic of Pistons vs Cavs shown on One. Great game.
I think I might go into work tomorrow, and maybe even see if Lilly is on.
