Week 10 – Saturday
10.20.09
Rex pleased about my promotion but gutted about canceling lunch date as he said he had a surprise for me. He said he will try and pop to Manda’s next week to see me. He said I am now a member of the Bourgeoisie and would have to start power dressing for work. I told him that as I am a midget it is impossible to demand respect (also do not suit shoulder pads as make me look like a hunchback .) Rex said Manda will take the piss so I need to practice my assertiveness.
Anyway Mark brought me breakfast in bed and we read the Saturday papers then went and did a bit of shopping. Mark didn’t want to be dragged around Dorothy Perkins and Next so he said he would go to Starbucks for a while.
When I met up with him he looked as white as a sheet and was physically shaking. He had gone to have a tattoo put on his shoulder of my name but had passed out after the first letter. I thought builders were meant to be strong, macho types! He said he would need me to hold his hand when he goes back to get it finished. I was quite touched but a bit freaked out as is early days in our relationship. He said he thought it would show me how committed he was to me.
Anyway, once we had eaten a sandwich, Mark dropped me at the hospital.
Mum a bit more coherent but still moaning all the time.
She said she did not realise how painful it would be and she has to have the other foot done at a future date. She has a plaster cast on her foot. She said she blamed years of wearing cheap, narrow shoes. Julian said he wondered if they were called bunions because they rhyme with onions? I told him I would look it up on google later.
Julian has dumped office temp and he said she took it incredibly well. Me thinks she may have been putting a brave front on. Only time will tell.
Mum says she cannot stomach the food and that we must bring her food in. I told her I was going to see ‘Chicago’ tonight so it would be down to Dad as Julian is out with the lads tonight. She sniffed and said she would manage somehow.
Went for a coffee with Julian and he saw girl he had just dumped walking past the coffee house. He said it is just a coincidence but I am not so sure. She looked to me like she was making an effort to stride past in a confident manner. I should know. I stalked my ex for three months before he set the cops on me. I used to camp outside his office in the winter with my thermals on. I think it was part of my OCD.
Julian gave me a lift home and I am going to get ready now for big night out. Eye no better. May have to go back to see nurse.
