 Alex says I'm doing too much. Funny, Alex is the first to tell me this to my face. I wasn't expecting it. Of course, I was over at Alex's to work on the toilet. (I swear I never meant to be such a plumber.)

"But, I get to live here for free," I guess I made a big deal about it. 

"Then don't work at the carnival on the boardwalk," that shrug of Alex's is so matter-of-fact. Yes, I assume Alex is right, but not much I can do about it. All I can say, I was grateful for the food Alex packed for me to take home. It gives me a lot to think about.

And then Drew dropped by. Yeah, Mia's Drew. The one she will marry in the fall. He wants me to come to the wedding. 

Needless to say, I wanted to sleep for a week after I  heard, but with so much to do, that didn't happen. I wanted to talk to Dakota about all my little woes, but I didn't. With her new job and all, I don't want to be a burden. Occasionally, I see her, but it feels less and less. I hadn't expected that.

Honestly, I don't know what I was expecting. I mean, I haven't told her ..um..

I can't. There is nothing I can really do but be her friend. And look, I don't even have time to date. I know, it's all my doing. I did this to myself. She probably thinks I love being this busy. Maybe I do, but then I don't. 

I feel like I'm missing out on so much. 

No way could I go to Drew and Mia's wedding. No way would Dakota want to go with me. It's not like I want to show up like the revenge EX or anything.

Sigh.

Best leave everything alone and after all, there is a toilet that needs fixing somewhere or a ride that needs tending to on the boardwalk. 

I could be in the ER on call, too. 

Some things never change.
