Mondays for us are for making peanut butter and doing one massive mad Monday clean up before work. Mondays for our many of our Hulkies is a day of making up for weekend regrets -- over indulging in drinks and dirty food.
My Mondays, THIS particular Monday for me, was for making peanut butter, doing the massive mad Monday clean up before work AND for making up for yesterday's regret. I knew going into today that it'd be a rough one and it most definitely was.
Today's clean up took 3.5hrs and resulted in me catching a mouse.
Today's making up for yesterday's regret started around 5pm, carried on till about 9:30pm, resulted in my spilling my beans to a friend about the situation and scoring a yogurt that was more or less a kind of "smooth-over" gift, but the situation never did get cleaned up. It's still very much an awkward situation, at least for me, and now I can't really look a particular Hulkie in the eye.
As for yesterday's regret, yesterday I had that interview on Dan & Chance Do Korea and Snickers didn't attend it with me like I had hoped he would. It was a big deal to me, both the interview and him not showing. He was under the impression that there would be a bar-full of foreigners and, having lived above Banana Bar for over a year and knowing the drama that comes attached with that bar, he was skeptic about it being just a simple night out. I told him he didn't have to come if he didn't want to and that's exactly what happened; he didn't come because he didn't want to. Needless to say, I was hurt but I wasn't going to let it dim my excitement about the interview and about seeing Rocket rock it out on her guitar. Rocket's fiance is also in the band so he was there, being all super supportive and sweet to her. Chance's girlfriend was there too, rocking out to the music and it was so cute to watch him reacting to her cute dance moves. I felt somewhat like the single girl all over again but that wasn't my regret.
I had a drink before my interview -- also not my regret -- to kind of calm my nerves and distract me from the fact that Snickers wasn't there. I figured a straight shot of alcohol to my system would make me loosen up and relax. The drink helped somewhat but once the interview started I honestly was just really enjoying the situation so nothing but that interview mattered at that point.
When I left the bar, I tried to contact Snickers to come pick me up. He didn't answer his phone so I then texted a couple of his friends whom I thought he might be with, telling them to get Snickers to call me if he was with them or ran into him. Then I did the mistake of responding to a random Facebook message from one of our Hulkies who is also a friend, and in the message I vented a bit about Snickers.
An hour and a few text messages later, I found myself way across town all worked about how Snickers had totally disregarded the interview which only caused me to type something in a text message that wasn't exactly nice about Snickers to this particular Hulkie. He responded by telling me he was out of town but could to drive the hour out to come pick me up. I never did meet up with him, instead Snickers finally called to see what I was up to and then Snickers picked me up. I hadn't vented much or revealed too much but, given who this person is and my new but somewhat already close friendship with them, I think I should have used better judgement with whom I was sharing my personal thoughts with. That is my regret.
