(So why am I writing?)

I almost had to work a lot today, but then I didn't. See, Laura stopped coming in last week. This week, she was still on the schedule. I didn't have anything in particular planned for tonight, and money is good, so I said I'd stay till close.

Then, apparently, they found someone else to cover Laura's shift, and if I could just stay till Nicole got there, maybe at 5ish, it would all be good. Then, at 4, Debbie and a new waitress both came in. Deb said she and the new girl would be fine, and I should just go. I compromised by not taking tables, but doing prep stuff for a half hour, and then I ordered food, and then Nicole came. So, now I'm home alone with the whole night before me. Sweet.

Today, someone else commented about how much weight I've lost lately. I appreciate the thought, and I like how I look now, but I think I'm starting to get a little freaked out. When all anyone can say to me is how skinny I am, I start to feel like a skeletal freak.

See, I'm not even doing anything radically different. The only change to my diet is that about a year ago, I started limiting myself to one soda a day. And I'm not even militant about that. Maybe I should write a book. The Ng Diet: A Lot More Fun Than Atkins. Yeah.

This is usually about the time that I'd realize I'm babbling, and decide to go away. Not today, though. I drank many coffee today, and I'm pretty sure that I could go the distance.

Wait, people just came over. Maybe next time.
