Great news and not so great news...
the not so great news first...
Colleen and I went out to run a few errands the other night and got held up. There was a man waiting outside with a gun. He pointed it towards Colleen but I was so far behind her that was able to go right back in the store. I screamed for someone to call 911 and all the people working there went in the back store room and left the rest of us out in the open. I was the only one to call 911 right away the people in the store hesitated to call because they were too busy looking at what was going on over the surveillance cameras. The police came within 2 or 3 minutes and brought their dog with them. The guy got away with $50 from Colleen and while he was at it managed to steal all of our confidence and trust in the world. On the way to the scene a cop got in a really bad accident and they had to block off a few intersections. I haven't heard anything since but it was all on the news a few nights ago. I don't remember too much now but sometimes when I can't sleep my mind wanders back to it all. I was outside long enough to see him pull his gun, cock it, and then say, "give me all of your money or i'll shoot you!" I don't know how Colleen stays sane after all of this because I haven't even been able to sleep, get gas, go to an ATM or do anything I normally would for that matter. I can't drive around without freaking out about my doors being locked and I certainly haven't been able to walk to my car alone after work. Anyway we're both okay but this could happen to anyone especially at night so BE CAREFUL!!
and now the greeeat news!!! I got a job! (it's in Troy, Crooks and I-75 to be exact) It starts Monday...I'm sad to leave EL but it's time for me to pay back loans and such. It's so nice to finally feel like I'm being rewarded for all the hard work I've been doing the past 5 years. I have made such great friends living in my crazy house and I'm going to miss them more then ever. I get kind of choked up thinking about it but since I still have my room in the house maybe i'll frequent 131 louis on the weekends.
Needless to say finding out I got a job and being held up all in one day was a freaking lot of emotions to deal with. I haven't been able to sleep well and getting up after I finally have fallen asleep has been a bitch. Just makes me realize how important my friends and family are to me...LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!
