welcome to my mind ...

I have a doc appointment this afternoon, but instead of taking only the afternoon off, I took the entire day; I'm kind of regretting this decision. I've been awake since my normal time, despite turning my alarms off and trying like hell to fall back asleep. I know that I should take advantage of this extra time to clean, or go exploring, but instead, I'm just complaining about being bored. First world problems, right?

I haven't heard anything from my date since Sunday. Considering how things went, and the conversations we'd been having, most of my friends are convinced that something happened, rather than he just suddenly turned in to a straight up asshole who disappeared. Like, maybe something happened with his phone, or he or someone in his family got hurt, or worse. I'm not sure how long I should wait before I reach out to him. I know it shouldn't matter and if I want to talk to someone, I shouldn't make a big deal about messaging them. If they're uncomfortable with it, that's on them, not me. But this is something I feel different about. I want a friendship to actually come from this and I'm afraid of pushing it too much in the beginning. Although, at this point, I'm not sure what this is anymore. For now, however, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.

It's days like these I wish I had a puzzle to do. I've been wanting to get a globe puzzle, one of the 540 or so piece ones, that comes with a stand. I have no idea where in this tiny space I'd put it, but I'm sure I'd come up with something. It wouldn't take me long; the sphere puzzles are usually numbered, but still. It would kill at least a couple hours.

I think I'm going to try to sleep for a couple more hours. I don't have to leave for another 3 1/2 hours. And the lawn maintenance people from across the street seem to have finished making a racket so it might be a good time to try to 'nap.' It'll keep my idle hands and mind from going too crazy.
