So I'm still in Daytona Beach with my mom.  We're getting along OK.  I had a job for about a month, but they discovered they didn't have enough people to train new people, so they had to let me go.

So I've decided to start writing journal entries on paper, in case I get another chance to access the LJ site again.  At this rate, it could easily be midsummer before I get an Internet account of my own, and I'm just not willing to wait that long.
