Time On All The Hands

I have time. So much time. I know this to be true because I've started watching the Bachelor and prior to Covid I had never watched the Bachelor or the Bachelorette a day in my natural, black life. Yesterday, as I shoveled some Jolly Rancher gummies into my mouth in preparation to see who Matt was going to give a rose to I thought... Oh how the mighty have fallen!! As soon as I had that thought my phone rang. Like clockwork, it was the dreaded top of the year call that most women receive from the most bored guy in our contact list. You all know who i'm talking about.. the guy who leaves a loooong voicemail "checking in" because you've checked out. Just bored for no reason. I realized that in the exact moment that he called we were both bored at the same time but my choice for entertainment was far less cringeworthy. He could've watched Matt dish out roses to weird women looking for love on TV but instead he chose to call a woman he had ONE date with last summer. I was almost tempted to answer for research. A large part of me wanted to know how he thought this was going to go. Were we supposed to pick up where we left off in July? I have yet to listen to the voicemail but it's one minute and eight seconds long so I am sure its full of "Grand rising, queen, I pray that this year around the sun is filled with moon dust and Benjamins" or whatever bored guys like to say in January. Furthermore, who's to say i'm not a whole taken Queen by now?? I'm not... but still. Respek my line!! Anyways, writing this out has made me interested in the voicemail now. Now I want to hear it. Stand back and stand by.. Or is that term off limits now?? lol! Either way, I am so glad to get back to sharing stories with you all. New year, same odd stories and same animated way in telling them. Has anyone else received some "bored" calls. If so, do share!!
