Yesterday I told my boy I love him for the first time. I got really nervous and whispered it to him when I thought he was asleep but he wasn't, and he heard me and said it back. It was kind of funny.

How much things change in a few short months.

Edited to add the totally gnarly details of my working evening.

So I work at a pizza shop. This pizza shop is right on the beach, and the whole town pretty much drains its sewers into the ocean, so a lot of times everything smells like shit. Today however the shit smell was far, far, far worse than usual. It smelled like the most evil pile of dogshit you ever smelled. Around 9:45 pm, the guys from the hot dog place next door came over and mumbled something about grease traps and leakage. So I went outside to see what they were talking about and lo and behold, the manhole cover in the middle of the sidewalk had raunchy, orange, foul-smelling grease bubbling up around its edges. Hence the evil smell. Turns out like 800 lbs of grease were accumulating under our store, only to unleash their awesome powers while I was working, thus destroying all noses within a 6 mile radius.
