My jumble of thoughts...
So, life continues, though finally at not as break-neck of a speed. Things are going fairly well, actually.
Mikal is now working full time for Walgreens while I still plug away part time at Triple B. It still leaves us with barely enough money, but at least we're not drowning. Work is work... I like customer service and I love Harmon and the bath department. Fatima is finally back after her two month or so long medical leave, which is really good because I missed her.
I hate stupid customers! Tonight, there was this lady in the store at 9:40 (we close at 9:30, but we don't throw our customers out) and I stopped and asked her if she needed any help. And her response was "No, not right now... I'll be done in 20 minutes or so." I was like "..." So when I went up front and let Kari and Susan know there was still a customer on the hard side, Susan informed me that she was aware of the woman and had let her know that the lights would start flickering on her soon since we were closed. The lady didn't care. Heh.
I continue to be tortured by my psychotic ex. He actually got to me about two weeks ago. My own stupidity really for opening the door without checking to see who it was. I didn't want to go to the police. I've lost my faith in the system since the whole restraining order crap. I haven't really talked much about it thus far. I've made an appointment to speak to a rape crisis counselor, so we'll see if it will help. Such fun it is to have to carry pepper spray. Le sigh. I think I will be okay with the help of a few people that are being supportive.
I had my four month exams in the beginning of June, and everything came back good. I'm still in remission. The gods are still smiling on me. I'm also losing weight! Yes, I bought four new pairs of pants for work in the beginning of April because I had lost too much weight to wear the old ones, and I now have to wear a belt to keep them up. At this rate, I'll be back into a size 14 soon. Yays!
I've started taking pictures again, which is nice. I got this new camera, which, while not professional or a high-end camera, is a really good one. It has a decent macro lens, and I've been able to get some nice photos of some of the various flowers around here. I also bought a sketch book the other day. That's right, I've started drawing again! I'm really rusty, but I suppose we'll see if I still have any talent.
For anyone that may be waiting to hear, the final plan is to go up to New York on the 16th of July and to come back home on the 22nd. We have yet to work out how we will be getting from the airport to my in-laws' house when we get in. We'll figure it out eventually. Now to start making plans to see all the wonderful people that we only get to see every once in a while, when we go up there.
