Forever and a day

It seems to have been forever and a day since I last wrote here. This is typical behaviour for me. I tend to buy multiple journals but only fill up a few. Need to place it in the routine section of my brain or it is not done. Here's a little of what's happened recently:

1. Went on a date with a local. An HCN as the Peace Corps lingo goes. It was okay. It was an exceptionally odd/awkward date. Lots of silence. Shared silence is a wonderful thing when your sharing it around a fire or with people you know. Not appropriate for a date, where learning about the other person is the objective. I was on the fence on the whole thing but then she started calling me. A lot. A whole lot. So that basically was a huge turn off. That was ended.
2. Went to Adventure City. It was a waterpark with no rules. It was fun. We put as many people as possible on single rafts. It was dangerous. Chris from Tucson got hurt. He was bleeding around the eye because we flipped over and he rode on his face down the entire slide.
3. Had the flu. Missed a day and a half of work. That doesn't happen often. I don't like to call in sick. Never did it at Pesto Brothers. Never did it at Barnes & Noble. Never did it Windstone Rock Masonry. Yeah. I don't like to do it. Plus I'm never sick. But when I do, it's a doozy.
4. Everything else is boring.
