Hello, Nice to be here.

[foxquiyote]

My seasonal nightshift gig at Target officially ended sunday, and I worked my last day last night. Bigwigs were coming through to inspect and they needed the extra help before said people arrived for a seven thirty am inspection. I got about two hours of sleep in that period--I drove my mother to my grandparents near toledo to celebrate my grandmothers 86th birthday, then drive right back and make it to work just in time. I've been kind of comatose since then, catching on sleep. I've got three layers of clothes on, and I'm freezing. Dammit, I'm going where its warmer. Lot of you sleep naked. Thats cool, I would, but unless I'm a climate zone or two south of here, and/or have someone to sleep against for warmth, it ain't happening. >> I need another blanket. Anyway, I am looking into finally getting a car. Kuruama, I'll call tomorrow, and lets see whats available. With luck this week could be it for taking care of that business. I have some saved up money, I'm putting in applications, and management at Target let me know that they're going to try to get me a permanent position. I guess I made a good impression. At the least, I have my confidence back in regards to knowing I can work. So much to learn, to do, I've got a lot of cramming to do. I'm looking forward to it, for the first time in a while. I will be setting up a few filters from now on. Some will be a few people, some will be for individuals, etc. Being partially diurnal again will mean I can actually be reachable. I'm going to clean up the house tomorrow for my mother, and then take the car to get a cell phone. My checking account finally opened again. My debts are paid off as of today, (except to family of course, but at least they don't call five times a night every day about it :P). Time to go into the dentist, get a couple cavities filled, get a new job (with actual people to call from my last job, it gets a lot easier) And see about transportation, and visiting friends and catching up. I really don't like being online, and my mother and I both have aversion to using the phone. We prefer letters, actually, snail kind. Yes, I know I'm over the hill. Anyway, I'm surfacing again. And to all those who were there for me in the last couple of months, when I was coming to terms with the imminent death of my grandfather, and all my debts and past demons crashing in, thank you. Even if you only listen for a second, and were willing to be there, that was what I needed most, and it got me over the hump. Blessings, yall. I'll be in touch.

EDIT: I posted this entry earlier, but it was pointed out by a friend that the cold part, while I intended to be more of a funny riff on true events deal, was being taken as me being all lonely. I do NOT want to seem like I'm complaining and trying to get you guys to feel all sorry for me. That wasn't the intention. :) Thanks.
