Days like a slow train trickle by...
... even the words that I write refuse to fly... - Hal Ketchum, Past the Point of Rescue
I think I'm going back to titling my entries with lines from songs... I enjoyed the time when one line seemed to fit the details of my life. I think I can express myself deeper in music than I can in any other form. I'm saddened that I can't seem to write songs anymore. I would have a melody or a refrain floating in my brain, but it doesn't go anywhere. Not sure what's causing this writer's block - surely I haven't run out of songs to write or experiences to relate to. Who knows? Maybe after our baby is born, I'll have another inspiration.
Amanda and I have had some problems in the past, but what married couple doesn't have troubles? Things seem to be a little better these days, though. I know that she's stressed about things such as me not having a job and the baby coming up around the corner. I don't blame her - we need to make sure we have the money for when the baby is born. All this time, she's had a feeling it's going to be a boy, and I said it was going to be a girl, but all the signs seem to point towards "boy." The heartrate is significantly slower, and that's a "sign" it's a boy. Doesn't always work out that way, but it's a pretty good chance. The baby is currently at 30 centimeters with a heartbeat of 120. I'm so excited.
We found out today that Amanda is anemic, though she knew it already. She has a extremely low iron count, and we're working on getting that count up. Today, we bought chlorophyll to help with the iron. We're also looking into dried fruit, but that's going to be expensive.
I'm going to be working at ICT once again, though I really don't want to. They're going to start me back at $7.00 an hour instead of the $7.90 I had when I left. I'm also going to have to go through the training class again. Sucks, but it's a job. I'm hoping to either get into a security job or the detention officer/jailer position I've applied for. Both are higher paying, and will probably have much better benefits. We'll find out, though. While I'm working at ICT, I'm going to be looking for a much better job. I really need to get a computer at home.
Well, I'm done writing for now. I've got to get going and stop by the office to get on the computer there for a while. I'll write more often soon. Probably will start now.
