Monday. Autumn has officially arrived! It's getting steadily colder and the leaves are changing colors and soon there will be gourds and pumpkins with which I will adorn my room. Also, colder weather means the return of the doppio con panna (the iced espresso has been getting old). I worked 6:30-3:00 with Wade, J.J., Carly, Tony, & Asenath. I spent my afternoon hanging out with Ams: we played Wii, smoked cigarettes, drank some beer, talked. She's not happy with Chris; I guess they're back together again? Dylan and Tyler came over, and I told them my hesitations with Clare. Tyler said, "You and I, we're afraid of commitment."
Tuesday. I slept in till about 8:00, worked out, did laundry, had cereal for breakfast. I went to Starbucks and worked on taking notes from N.T. Wright's "Justification." So excited about 8 more of his books coming to me in the mail soon! I hung out with Ams for a bit before she headed back down to Cincinnati. At 4:30 I met Clare at China Cottage. We went and got pumpkins for her store and then went to a park in Franklin and climbed trees. I got home around 8:00. Kyle & Vicki are engaged, and I'm going to be in his wedding. I called Jessie in Illinois, talked with her about my concerns with Clare: simply put, things aren't working out. I leave a trail of wounded hearts in my wake.
Wednesday. I worked 5:30-1:00 with good folk. Mom had some girls over for dinner and games: Mariah and Katie. I hung out with them for a while and then went to Starbucks to do some writing.
Thursday. I called things off with Clare today. I worked 1-9:30, gave Sarah a call. She got a job at the Piano Bar in Newport. Ams came to town, another doctor's appointment, and we played Mario-Kart.
Friday. I worked 6-1:00, ran home for a quick lunch, and then returned to work for my PDP (Partner Development Plan). I'm doing analyses of our whole bean, figuring out ways to market them in the store. I chilled at home and dreamt of Alaska, but those are dangerous and naive dreams. Clare's pretty hurt about how things went down, I don't blame her. I thank God she didn't "go crazy" like Genna, or simply ignore me like Faith. I know I hurt her, but she was (it seems) understanding. She didn't threaten to slit her wrists like Genna, so that's a plus.
Saturday. I enjoyed the cold morning with some coffee and a cigarette. I spent the day reading and writing, picked up an IPOD charger at Best Buy (lost mine), and napped till about 4:00. Dewenter came over for a bit on his moped. I worked 6-11:00 for Audree, and my arms are SO SORE from working out. I got Ams' LG Chocolate Phone. It's pretty nice.
Sunday. I went to the Rt 48 Starbucks and read for a bit. Mom & Dad went to a Barnhart Family Reunion in New Carlisle. Pat D. came over before going over to his grandpa's house, who lives where the Southards used to (still do?) live. I went to I.G.A. for some frozen fish filets and spent the evening lounging around.
Not an exciting week.
