Such a big thing to start a New Year, and yet it's just another day. A rather lazy day, I wasn't the only one who was up late last night. I forgot to set my alarm for this morning. It gave me a chance to sleep in though, which was fine. But I was getting around so late I wasn't able to get to the gym this morning. And Mom was harassing me on the way out the door saying something about me getting an extra workout with Hal. I was tired, I didn't realize what she was saying till I was halfway to work and then I was blushing furiously on the bus. Thank goodness there weren't many other passengers, but the driver did notice and asked if I was doing okay.
The museum felt almost barren this morning. There were a few chipper people in, way too happy for anyone's good. We didn't start getting busy till after lunch. Made the day take a while, but was over quick.
Hal picked me up after work and at my complaint of missing the gym this morning he offered to take me there. It was kinda cool working out with him, we'll have to do that more often. Really got the blood flowing, and he looked pretty hot in his gym clothes.
I asked him what he and Sam were talking about last night, just out of curiosity. Hal said they'd started out just getting to know each other. Turns out Sam's also pretty in to the outdoors, though he's more of the hunter type. I was not at all surprised to find out he's into bow hunting. Though it sounds like taking care of Candace this year has made it hard for him to go.
Sam actually asked Hal about our conspiracy dinners. What surprised me was that Sam wasn't coming at it from a disapproving angle, but rather curiosity and Hal tells me he ended up inviting Sam to join us. I'm still kinda floored at that, given his attitude toward the tree and his dismissal of my fears. Sam had apologized to me about dismissing my fears, but he never did seem to take the conspiracy seriously. Since then I hadn't really mentioned what we'd been doing, other than that we still meet up. He hadn't even been aware that Max was in on it now too.
So I guess he's going to join us on Saturdays now. Though not this week? I guess he's already got something with his work. But afterward he said he'd start scheduling for Saturday evenings to be able to join us.
Speaking of Max, I did check in with her just to make sure she'd gotten home safe and everything. She said she'd spent all night talking with Sam and was just getting around when I'd texted her. She's insisting we have lunch or something on Wednesday so we can talk.
I'm a little stunned by what I'm hearing about Sam from last night. I have to wonder if he was the same Sam I've known. Not entirely sure what to think about it honestly, but that's probably 'cause I'm still tired. I did get some good rest, but the shift in sleep cycle really seems to have screwed with me. After our workout I just got real tired and while I would have liked to join Hal, I ended up asking for him to take me home so I could sleep.
