Taylor Swift's new album came out a few nights ago on October 21st. It's called 'Midnights,' and it is an amazing album that is breaking so many records, and doing insane numbers! It may explain why I just couldn't sleep all night on the 21st. I couldn't sleep because I felt super awake, and I avoided the album once it was 1am, but I think I was too excited to go to sleep. So, I texted my boss about it and asked him about going to work early at 6:30am and leave at 3:00pm. He said "yes," and so I went to work early that Friday morning. I didn't feel sleepy almost the entire time that I was at work. I was starting to feel a little sleepy when I was driving the scrubber in the gym. Thank God I didn't fall asleep! I did most of what I usually did on Friday before my 2 co-workers came to work at 10am. Joe and I had a conversation before Jessica came to work, and he told me to be careful with Jessica as he thought that we had a girlfriend-boyfriend thing going on because of the work policies/rules. I told him that I wasn't attracted to women, so yeah, I came out to him about my sexual orientation. I felt that it was necessary at that moment, but was a little nervous about what his opinion was on that, but he had no problem with it, and he's been kind with me so far, which lets me know that he is comfortable with me. When Jessica found us in the room where Joe and I had that conversation, she sat down on one of the chairs and all 3 of us had a conversation about society, politics, our past traumas, God, and life in general. Joe had a horrible past with his ex-wife, who kidnapped their daughter. There is so much horrible things his ex-wife did that is too personal for me to share on here. The conversation was emotional, and real. It helped us understand each-other better, which I liked. I wasn't really feeling that well that morning though because I'm sick, and then the lack of sleep made me feel weirdly nervous that morning. The conversation lasted almost 3 hours, and it was a Friday, so there wasn't much of anything else to do at the school since school isn't in session on Fridays, and it wasn't a teacher work-day. After work, I was still awake until I finally fell asleep at 5pm that day. The 21st of October of 2022 was a day full of adrenaline.
