Oh LJ. I will give you an update you deserve.
Okay. I've been go go go and haven't had a chance to slow down for quite awhile. Here we go.
I live with Randy now in the greater DC area. I'm totally in love with living in DC and surprisingly, Randy and I living with each other is going well. Granted I haven't started my work schedule yet, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there. We enrolled in school today which makes me happy because it's all coming together. On a scarier side, Randy's mom had a pow wow with her other four siblings and they agreed to give Randy his great-grandmother's wedding ring for me. Randy told me what his mom did and agreed it was WAY too early to have that discussion and we would bring it up at a minimum after the one year mark. It also scares me on the superficial level of what if it's ugly? Rings from back in the day weren't always the prettiest. While it's totally romantic, I don't want some ugly hunk on my fingers. Totally awkward and I pray it's not hideous.
Work. What work? I checked in on Tuesday and they sent me out house hunting until Wednesday. Then I have off Thursday through Monday for Thanksgiving. And to make matters worse, I was excited to go to work because of my EXTREME boredom, but when I went to in process my unit, they were really rude and no one introduced themselves to me. Horrible first impression and it scares me that I'm going to hate my new job. Amazing position, but if I'm not happy, then...? I guess I'll have to just jump in head first and hope everything goes okay.
Did I mention I love where I live? Because I do. Just sayin'.
So the trip to California was good in the sense that I got to see people, but quality time with people was very limited with people I wanted to see and WAY overtaken by my mother. I hate my mom, I really do. I didn't want to spend time with her or see her, but Randy pressed the issue and well...there we were. At the end of the trip, he understood my hate and now shares it. I'll probably not be going back anytime soon and honestly? I'm glad.
Well, really that's all that's going on in my life these days. I'm just kind of enjoying things the way they are and throwing some school in there. And if it stays that way, I'll just be that much happier.
