The Round Up

It was my plan to give you the roundup of what's been happening this week...cos I've been slacking in the worst way....but then this evening took an unexpected but expected turn..which meant that my initial plan of updating went out the window, and I just wanna talk about this evening!!

Basically, earlier this week, my mum tells me there's this dude she's tryna set me up with. I'm not really feeling the idea of blind dates, so I tell her I'm not really on it. She's tryna sell this dude to me; he's 25, he's a Soldier-leaving the Army in December, he doesn't smoke or drink-he drives his own car Then today, I'm at work, she calls me, and tells me that Soldier (that's what I'll call him) wants to know if I'm free tomorrow. I'm like nah-I wasn't lying either, I had plans with the girlies to go for drinks. However, throughout the day, it seemed that plan was dead...after talking with my big sis, I thought to reconsider my decision.

I'm at home, and my mum's acting all suspect...I knew something was up...something in me told me this dude would randomly be at my door...and whaddya know? I'm bout to get ready to watch Making The Band 4, and my mum comes to me telling me there's someone to see me!!!! What? My hairs looking a mess, I'm in my work getup (jeans and t-shirt)....why is he here! I was annoyed for a minute, but I gotta give it to that woman for being so darn persistent! So I go to my door...Soldier's standing there...introduces himself to me...we talk for a minute, then he says he has to drop his Uncle down the road, do I wanna come.....well not really-I'd rather watch making the band...but I decide to go anyway...we have good conversation, and he's real funny....get back home, he walks me to my door...says goodnight to me & my mum, and then calls me 5 minutes after! We're meant to be going someplace tomorrow...he's back to base on Sunday....he's cool....I'm not overly looking for anything...well I am, but not really-i mean it was only the other day I was yapping on about Mr Man...

So that's this evening......now for the week that has been:
-This girl I went to school with (who I lost touch with until recently) her Mum died on Saturday night. She had Parkinson's Disease....she asked me to come to the funeral which is next week, but I can't get the time off, so I told her I'd come to the wake...

-I have to pay £30 for a new wing mirror for some woman who's wing flew off after hitting the side of my Smartie door. It was technically my fault cos I opened the door too wide (cos I had too many things in my hands....I'm annoyed cos I had to pay a £60 parking ticket today too! So that's what £90 in a week cos of my Smartie! I think we need to have a talk (my Smart Car & I....seems he's costing me more than he should!!)

-The friend that I've mentioned here text me today, telling me that she was sorry she hadn't been in contact, but she didn't wanna talk to anyone. Her man's trial now, and she lost the baby. I told her I'd be here for her no matter what.....the wickedest is, the last time i spoke to her, which was a day after Khallai was born, she again acted like she wasn't tryna talk to me...talking bout how it was all about her, her man and her baby (she has a 6 year old daughter, and she didn't even include her)...when I told her my brother was now a dad she was like 'oh is it' really disinterested, and then started going on about something or another....so from then I'd decided to stop trying with her...cos clearly she wasn't interested.....then last night I had the maddest dream! I dreamt that Monnie was in London, and she was at a bus stop in the pouring rain crying her eyes out-real random right? And then later today, my 'friend' texts me to tell me of her woes...and what do I do? Roll up my sleeves, and be prepared to do whatever it takes to get the girl back on top form! Regardless of whatever, she doesn't deserve to deal with the heartache of losing a baby.

This day, tomorrow, 3 years ago, my boy A died...this day tomorrow one year ago my grandfather died, this day tomorrow is my SFAM's ex boyfriend's birthday. He past almost 2 years ago. So I think tomorrow will be bittersweet...I'll try and post tomorrow....

So for right now-that is all!
