What has been up with me?
I have been working part time with my friend Casey Hillquist for a plumbing/water fixture company called TR Plumbing. The owner of the business is Casey's wife's father and he eventually wants to kick back and do the office part of all of the work because he is getting old. The plan is for Casey to take over the business and for him to have a partner to help him out in the process. Casey is trying to get me hired on in that capacity. Either way, if not, the part time work is good and its money in the bank until I find a more permanent job.
In other news, Im on 2 medications: Wellbutrin and Levothroid.
Wellbutrin seems to be alright. Well, both seem to be working well considering I dont think about killing myself so much anymore whenever I get depressed. Now I am sort of just dealing with it. I find myself becoming more capable of enduring things, as opposed to just quitting on them like I used to. Maybe I have that counselling I went to to thank for that. I dont know.
I have over a grand in the bank saved which is pretty sweet. Havent had that much in the bank since I got out of the Army. Early next week I have a job with my buddy Chris and I will be getting 500-1,000 for the job so that ought to be good. Either way, money is money and that is going in the bank as well.
Im saving money for a car. Once I get that then I will go out and get the SR 22, the reissue money, along with the proof of enrollment in a DUI program.
Melissa is pregnant. Most of you who read this already know. She goes in for her official test this Monday [the 18th] but Im positive what the results will be as she is already going through the symptoms: mood swings, morning sickness, etc etc. I hate when I tell people that and they ask "How?" I think the answer is quite obvious how you get someone pregnant. In alot of ways I am really hoping everything goes perfectly with that because she wants to keep the child and I want her to as well so its good to fully agree on that. If all goes well, after her lease is up in March to her apartment in Fullerton we will move in together somewhere. But at the moment that is neither here nor there. Im just taking it a day at a time. Im really happy with her. I dont know what else to say except Im just crazy about the girl.
I hope this doesnt sound stupid but I think having a child will give me a sense of purpose/meaning to my life that I never quite had. If you are someone who knows what a battle I have had with that in lieu of my depression than I think you might agree with me on that.
Court still has not filed. Kind of glad because that gives me more time to save money. Whenever they do I am just going to get it on a payment plan because it makes managing the income aspect of it easier and its not so hard of a monetary hit.
Ive been playing Battlefield 2 Special Ops with Jason alot. Ive been having alot of fun with that. It keeps me busy. It keeps me from drinking believe it or not. Id trade Monsters for beer anyday. So much the better.
But yeah, that is my update. I hope you all enjoyed reading it. Sorry its really disorganized and random but that is what is going on with me as of late.
