I'm so tired. I feel like my body and my head need a week of rest, but I love working. I like having something to do for the majority of the day and feeling like I am needed somewhere.
Today I was sent home early because there were too many employees working. I expected a nice, calm day filled with napping, a little grocery shopping, and movie watching. Instead, I got talked into going to my future sister-in-law's bridal shower for three hours, helping my mom with her hairstyle for the wedding, fetching food, and spending minimal time with my family. Not what I had expected at all. I usually like being busy, but sometimes I need to take a breather and have some 'me' time.
Since this is like a journal to me, I am going to do some ranting.
Perry and I usually talk on the phone every night for at least a couple of hours. Lately, we've been getting into stupid fights and have nothing left but awkward silences and a little bit of whining here and there before we say goodnight. This is upsetting because it is over dumb things that aren't worth getting into an argument over and leave us both with hurt feelings. Personally, I don't like going to bed angry or upset, so I can't just get off the phone and go to bed without them getting resolved, while he can and wake up in the morning just fine as if nothing ever happened. It's just really awkward. I hate the phone. We've also been talking about some very serious things... future plans. This doesn't just include the possibility of a promise ring, engagement rings and wedding bands, and a wedding in general, but Perry's future career. He wants so badly to be a senator, but for some reason doesn't think it's going to happen. I have all the faith in the world that it could, but no matter how much I encourage him, he doesn't believe me. He also complains about how he's bored and lonely, but all he does is work minimal hours at Wendy's, watch tv and movies, and play video games. He doesn't do anything for anyone else (not to say he's selfish). But I've found that doing things for other people, even if you don't know them - nor will you ever know them, is the most fulfilling thing in the world you can do. I tried suggesting that to him tonight and he got all weird on me. We had already been upset at each other over him not listening when I was talking, and this just made it worse. I don't know what to say to him anymore.
I've come to a loss for words, and I'm exhausted and I can't comprehend anything I just wrote, so I may edit this later and finish it. Maybe not.
