i've gone wireless
Goddamn! It's been a looong time since I have had internet access! I think since Matters and I got our apartment, I've updated MAYBE twice? So, yesterday, I decided it was time to get a comp for our place. I got a Dell laptop, complete with internal wireless! (Inspiron B130.) So, now I can get online anytime, just about anywhere, and it's FREE, to boot!! hoorah!
so... updating... well, Matt and I hit a rough spot there a while back, as you may have read in my last entry, but we managed to work thru it. we always work things out. And I hope we always will... i NEEDS my secret agent lover man!!
what else? I completely and totally quit using drugs, of any kind, altogether. and I am very proud of myself. I went in-patient at the Life Center of Galax for a bit and now I am on methadone maintenance thru the Roanoke Treatment Center. I am so grateful for that place, too! I've come really close to relapsing on more than one occassion and had it not been for them, I don't think that I would still be clean. Unfortunately, getting clean meant giving up literally ALL of my "friends". And, as it turns out, most of them weren't friends at all, merely drug connections and "partners in crime" as it were.
So now all I do, literally, is sleep, eat, work, and tend to Killian. Every once in a blue moon Matters and I will go out to eat or go do something. But, i don't go out or do anything with anyone but him and his friends or from time to time, my parents. Which probably sounds incredibly lame to you, but it's what I had to do to stay clean, and, for me, it's really not all that bad. Getting more quality time in with my lover and my son is really kinda nice! I love my little family more than life itself!
oh, and my job now is really great! I work at Maple Leaf Bakery as a Quality Assurance Technician, aka QA Tech. I've only been there a month, and already I got a raise from $9.09 to $10.50 an hour! What I do?? Basically, I just run around gathering data from the 3 production lines I am in charge of, like weight, length, width and height of breads, temp and humidity of the ovens and freezers, and pretty much just make sure everyone is doing their jobs right and everything is turning out like it is supposed to. I think my favorite part of the job is doing taste tests, hehe. Too bad our plant doesn't make their pastries tho. That's in Canada. We are strictly breads. We make breads for Quizno's, and Wal-mart and Sams club, and Firehouse subs, and all kindsa places!
So, I am in love and I am clean and I work full-time. And Killian is getting bigger by the day! I can't believe he is about 14months! That first year went by sooo fast! It scares me that I might miss out on something important! But shit, I stayed at home with him for over a year so, I had to go back to work sometime! But, alright, I am outta here. I got other shit to do and other sites to see so... until next time, I bid you adieux.
