Pre-shift Dates With AJ

Let’s call my current state, the XPS trial phase.

And let me just say that if I continue to be in this state, AJ and I will probably gain five pounds each weekly. Last Wednesday, my “reward” for going to work was a slice of Dementia. On Thursday it was a slice of Blueberry Cheesecake. I chanced upon AJ and kinda dragged him into my “cakeout.”

At home yesterday afternoon, I was already crafting pre-shift “cakeout” plans. I thought I’d invite AJ to The Cofee Bean and Tea Leaf for more cake. But my plans changed as I had skipped dinner and was running late so we ended up at McCafe again. This time I devoured a Cheeseburger Deluxe meal and a Blueberry Cheesecake. Miss piggy, I know, I know.

I wonder if I will still be this way next week. Its throwing me off my budget. But then it gives me something to look forward to every night that I have to be in Eastwood. Now I don’t know if I should feel guilty or smug.
