Awkward...
Ok, again, long time no update, I know. I just have so much to do. When I'm not at work or seeing Alex I'm constantly cleaning this fucking apartment. Its a bitch and a half not having a dishwasher. Hand washing all my dishes takes longer than cooking the food does. Plus, when Alex comes over the apartment tends to get fairly messy. Its not entirely his fault, its just not really possible to clean when I have a boyfriend around that I don't see very often who needs attention. I'm going to try to break down this post into sections:
Work - Still going strong at Borders, they really like me there and they've putting me on for about 32 hours a week, which is max for part time. I got secret shopped and made a 100% on my evaluation. They've started putting me on the info desk more often now that Jay is gone and we've hired some new cashiers. Which is awesome, because I've been working almost solely the register for a month and a half now. Although I like working register, it just gets a little monotonous. Though sometimes I feel like I need to go take over. Some of the other employees don't do a great job at register and I'm constantly having to pick up slack for them. Like making sure the magazines stay organized. I haven't had any luck finding another job, so its been difficult to cover all my bills. My parents had to take care of June's rent because I just didn't have the cash. They're probably going to have to help with July's rent too, but I should be able to cover most of it. The good news is that I talked to Katrina at La Divina. I had told them I couldn't work for them because I needed the time to look for a job that could give me more hours. But, Katrina said it looks like they'll be opening their new location in two weeks, and that they'll need someone to work full time hours. So, I told her to go ahead and sign me up if she wants to. So, hopefully, I'll be getting a call from her sometime next week to let me know how she wants to schedule me. I'm going to see if I can get her to make me some sort of manager for the new location since I know what I'm doing very well. I'd just like to be able to help out by taking care of scheduling and managing inventory and what not. Maybe I can get a little pay hike out of it, which would be nice. Plus, that way I can keep my job at Borders during the school year and just come into La Divina once or twice a week to do administrative work, cuz I don't want to leave either employer hanging. So, yeah, we'll see how that turns out.
Home - I drove to Houston last Friday to spend the weekend at home for my brother's graduation. It was pretty nice, the drive wasn't too bad, and I got to listen to the new TBS album a bunch in preparation for this weekends concert. Yay! I played a crap ton of video games with Greg because I don't get to do that here. I bought him Mario Party 8 for his birthday and we played that for hours, its sooooo much fun. I didn't get to visit with any of my friends because they're all busy, but hopefully I'll get to see them in July when I come home for my birthday. That's right, I'm turning 21 in all of 41 days! Yay! I ended up having to leave at 12:30 AM Monday morning instead of that afternoon because Alex needed to go to the hospital. He'd been having some intestinal bleeding for about a week that he'd been ignoring. He just didn't want to go to the hospital because he had no one to go with. His mom was a bitch about it and basically just left him hanging. So I drove through the night and then brought him to Ocshner's in New Orleans that morning. They did some blood work and decided that he didn't need to spend the night because his hemoglobin count was high enough. But, he has to go back for an endoscopy to figure out what's causing the bleeding. He's worried it might be Chrones, but its probably likely to do with the fistula he's had problems with in the past.
Alex - on that note, I ended up spending Monday and Tuesday with Alex, I brought him back to my place after we left the hospital because I was just too tired to drive back to Houma. We got some food and went to bed early. I accidentally woke him up in the middle of the night because I was talking in my sleep. Turns out I was going on about how much I miss Sam in my sleep. So that kept Alex up all night and put him in a shitty mood all the next day until he brought up last night. I assured him it has nothing to do with Sam and I's relationship, which is true. I just miss him now that he's been gone in Haiti for almost a month. I didn't think I'd miss him this much, but I do. I'm sorry if that bothers Alex, but what else would you expect when one of your two closest friends is out of contact for three months. Anyway, we're leaving for Mobile tomorrow night. We're going to a party and then Friday he has a show to perform in. I forgot to request off this weekend from work, so if I can't get Saturday covered I'm going to have to come back to NOLA on Saturday while he goes to Baton Rouge for another show, if I get it covered I'm going to go with him to that too. Then we're going to the TBS concert on Sunday. So it should be a nice problem. On the other hand, we're still not having sex, because with the whole GI problems he can't really have sex. Its okay for now, but I hope it gets fixed soon, I can't go the rest of my life never having sex again. So, we'll see how that one turns out.
Other News - not much, I'm going to wrap this up because I have to start getting ready for work. I stopped taking Seroquel, I tried halving the dose, but its too strong. Now that my mood has been stable for awhile it just knocks me out. It doesn't wear off in the morning like its supposed to and I end up being really groggy for half the day. It's very counterproductive, so I'm just not going to take it unless I absolutely need to. As long as I continue to sleep well I should be fine.
Anyhow, I'll try updating when I get back from this weekend.
