So at work we have a huge fridge up front that is about 6'5" high (def higher than my 5'4" self). I was told I had to move it away from the wall and sweep and mop behind it. Okay, no problem. I go to move it, open the doors to the front so I can get a better grip on it, and pull it away from the wall easier and all of a sudden the fridge starts to tip towards me. I catch it, but it keeps coming down until it stops about halfway down. I got catapulted with water cups, apple juice boxes and milk bottles (teeny tiny ones) thank goodness all the heavier stuff was down towards the bottom. My manager and cook helped me pick the fridge back up, and that's when we found out that it's own cord prevented it from sliding easily forward and causing it to tip over. The lessons I learned here were to be more mindful of my surroundings, but also, and I think most importantly, to ask someone for help next time. This is not something I am good at. I'd rather not ask for help and just do things or figure things out myself. Is that bad? lol.
So I'm looking forward to Christmas this year for the first time in a very looong time. I'm known as the Scrooge of my family, but it's not because I hate Christmas. It's because of what Christmas has become. But I might go on that tirade a little bit later. I will get to see my parents during Christmas for the first time in a long time, and my boyfriend will get to spend some time with them. I am a little anxious about this, but more excited I think. Their first meeting, well, let's just say death threats were given. The second meeting went better, but we didn't get to spend a whole lot of time with them. So I'm looking forward to this third one. Cannot wait to be with family and boyfriend, eat REAL food again (long story) and get a break from future mother-in-law. Yayness.
This is my first journal entry, and I may or may not continue to write in it everyday, not sure how much of myself I want to share with others yet, although it'll probably wind up being a yes on the sharing teehehe. I don't think I'm the most interesting person, but I am who I am, and I love every moment of that. I look forward to getting to know anyone and everyone that wants to. ^_^
