Big Al’s Blog: Big Al, the Dog Sitter

We all make mistakes. So I can’t get too mad at the Doctor when she makes one. Even if it was one that was about a 6 on the 1 to 10 mistake scale. She invited me over to hang out and watch some TV Sunday night. Honestly, I was already nicely tucked on my couch watching TV but hey…when a girl invites you over at 9pm to watch TV, that’s when you get up and go. So, I hopped in the shower, brushed my teeth, lotioned up and headed out the door. I even sent an “I’m leaving my house” text and she sent back the “k” text. 5 minutes later, I pulled into her parking lot. She lives downtown so parking can be a challenge. I went on into the building and sent her a text to meet me at the elevator. No reply. I sent another one saying, “I’m here.” Nothing. I called…no answer. 10 minutes had gone by. I’m just standing around the elevator waiting. People are coming and people are going. But I didn’t want to get on the elevator and miss her. So I waited another few minutes. I sent another text. No reply. So after three texts and two phone calls, I left.

I didn’t know what to think. Did something happen? Did someONE happen? Or did her lack of regular sleep just catch up with her? Well, she did apologize. Apparently, she did fall asleep on me and she felt terrible. She apologized a few times and even though I was a little mad at the time, I got over it. We went out to eat last night and came back and sat on my couch and watched The Voice until we fell asleep. We did, however, stop to pick up her doggie and it looks like I’ll be dog sitting for the next 36 hours while she’s at work.

Like I have said earlier, the first 60-90 days, people can get away with a lot in a relationship. Almost anything is forgivable when you are starting out with someone that you like, huh?
