Day One Hundred and Twenty Two.

    When I got up today I was glad that it was still pretty early so I could spend the morning with my boyfriend before I had to go to work. He made a wonderful breakfast wrap for me to start the day! We ended up just cuddling on the couch for a while after breakfast before he left and I got ready for work. I managed to get the clothes I had washed yesterday folded before work which I was happy about. I really would like to get my bed sheets washed at some point in the next few days so hopefully getting the routine laundry out of the way will help with that.
    Work ended up being a pretty busy night which was actually okay because it went by really fast. It's such a contrast from the last weekend I worked where both days just seemed to drag on. I ended up staying a little late because I was chatting with a coworker I never get to see, so I didn't actually walk into my house until around 11:45pm. I ended up washing my hands a lot at work tonight which is frustrating because due to the harsh soap they are pretty sore. I am going to have to make sure to be better about creaming them tomorrow in between washes. When I got home from work I spoke with my boyfriend on the phone and I made my buffalo chicken salad as well.
    The next thing I have to talk about is a very tragic story I found out about through my friends f-book page. This is a warning that this is very sad. It involves a boy I graduated high school with, now were never that close but we have mutual friends so I've run into him a few times since high school. I always thought he was a nice kid and because of f-book I know where he lives and what he's been up to. Well, he always seemed like the playboy type who was always dating around and never very serious with any one girl, until the past several months when he starting posting pictures of himself with a really pretty girl who seemed great. I'm fuzzy on the timeline here because I'm not really a stalker but they eventually posted that they were in a relationship and I have constantly thought in my mind how great it was that he seemed so happy with her. Well, Friday night I checked the book and he posted this "Last night I lost my best friend". I guess she tragically died....I couldn't believe how sad I was and how much it affected me instantly. I found out today by doing an internet search that she died in a single car crash Thursday night. I'm heartbroken for him because I can't imagine what he is going through and how hard this must be for him as well as her family. When I think about how hard it would be if something like that happened to me I get sick to my stomach. It's really such a reminder about how fragile life really is. The sympathy responses are pouring in over his page and so many of them mimic the way I feel-that they just seemed so perfect for each other, like soul mates.
    I hope that story doesn't come across as stalking in anyway because I searched what happened to her. I knew it must have been an accident because what else would so suddenly take the life of a young girl. I guess with how public the internet is it's impossible to keep things like this hidden anyway. On that somber note I'm going to go to bed and think of my loved ones. I can only hope that they know how much I love and care about them, even though I don't get to say it to each one of them every single day.
