I am going crazy.
There are just not enough hours in the day.
Not with work, thats for sure.
I spend about 3 hours in the car each day driving to and from work, on average. I'm so happy I won't have to make the trip every day come February. I'll most likely walk to school all the time, since cold weather doesn't exist here anymore. It'll be SUPER nice once spring comes along. I need to get in shape anyways..everyone thinks that just because I'm pretty tiny, I have to be in good shape, but I get tired after walking up like two flights of stairs.
But this time thing...driving me nuts!
Even though I'll shave off about 3 hours from not driving to work, I'll have homework. And I'll most likely get another job to make some moula.
So much time away from my boy toy!
It's so pathetic...but I hate being away from him.
He didn't want to sleep over the other night, so I pouted and tried to cry until he agreed to. I'm so evil.
But I hate sleeping alone lately. I takes me soooo much longer to fall asleep. With Mike there, he just puts his arms around me and in about two seconds I'm gone.
We should get our own place pretty soon....I think once the TV is paid off.
We've been waiting for Collin and Melody, since our plan was always to move in together, but Mels mom just gave them the whole second floor, so no need to move out.
The thing is that I want a house. Not an apartment, basement apartment, or townhouse. I want a house with a big yard in the middle of nowhere. Like Dunville.
I always pick up the re-sale home magazines, and this Dunville sounds nice. I have no idea where it is, which means it must be out in the middle of nowhere. And property is cheap down there. I think.
Im not an expert, but 99 acres (65 of which are workable! (yes...I want to be a farmer!)), 13 rooms, 5 bedrooms, a couple of outbuildings (sheds and barns), and right on the waterfront for $345,000 sounds fuckin awesome to me. Of course I wont get such a big house on such nice property so soon...but it's something to dream about.
I don't think Mike would like it though...I think he would want to keep his job at Groove, and it would be too far to drive/train it from Dunville, wherever that may be.
Groove is looking up these days, so I know he wants to stay as long as possible. They just signed on with a new investor whose apparently really rich. They're moving the office to somewhere bigger, and the tester team will grow to about 25 (theres ony anout 10 now at a time) at a time, all working 9-5.
More hours = more money for him.
I know he's got his big money dreams...and so do I. (We're both convinced we're going to be filthy rich once we're older, and have a huge house full of fun toys). But I'm happy with leading a quiet not-so-rich life out in the country somewhere. With tons of crazy animals.
First on my list is a serval. We'll be best friends, and it will sleep and cuddle in my bed with me.
Tne only thing I have to figure out is how to make money in the middle of nowhere.
The internet is always pretty helpful. And so is 65 acres of workable land.
I'm working from home for sure.
But I just don't know what to do and where to start. Maybe graphic design....I loved that in school..or buying things from garage sales, fixing them up and selling them on e-bay. And my animal sanctuary/zoo/boarding facility/training...but everyone tells me theres no money in that. And I know its true....but I can do things on the side!
IDEAS PLEASE.
I have some sort of bite on my belly...its really itchy, and I keep picking at it, so now it's bigger and scabby-scar-like, but theres still yellow-green juice comming out of it. I think I shall just poke a straw into it and drink the juice!!
