It's another 20 minutes until I can even think about leaving work, and I have absolutely nothing I want to do right now. I could prepare for tomorrow, but NAH, it'll be easy enough. Tomorrow is actually an important day, since I'll be doing my 1st run on a new system that I've only seen done twice. The wet chemistry is no problem, and I should have somebody looking over me while do my primary run. Other than that, it's Monday, and the week is already going slower than snail shit. The only thing I have to look forward to is jumping in the pool at my godfather's house (hopefully with NONE of any screaming kids/girlfriends there)....and, oh yeah, muthufuckin' Hawaii!!!! Take that, bitch-iolas! I'm looking forward to a relaxing weekend in Gonzales, and maybe a trip to Arroyo Seco to swim and play around with my doggies. They likes smimmin', and I like smimmin' too. I still need to buy a couple pairs of shorts, some flip-flops, and shirts for the Hawaii trip. I hope everything goes smoothly on this trip, me and alex don't get into a dumb fight, or I don't get annoyed at Kris and Jenn. I doubt it, though, as there are enough soothing elements about this trip to put our minds at ease and leave work back in California.
Saving money is going well, a lot better than expected. I've pretty much cut out any luxury in my last two paychecks, as well as my many trips to SF during the week. This won't last for long, and Alex understands that I can't afford to blow all this gas money on short weekday visits. Our last two weekends have been pretty awesome: beach days, random parties, horse races and fair rides, and summer BBQ's. It turned out to be pretty easy not to blow $300 on an SF weekend like I used to do without batting an eye. No more eating out 10x a week, or running to Best Buy to pick up CD's and DVD's when I'm bored. I'm finally taking care of my car correctly, and will have my windshield replaced and a tune-up taught to me by my work friend Eric. I should then have lots more money to save on the insurance check I got from my accident in January. Now all I have to do is start off the new season with some new work, more cash, and a new place in SF and my life will be moving along at the speed I want. I'm tired of living in San Jose, in a house where I don't have a dresser drawer and am forced to literally live out of my suitcase. I want my own space to come home too, and a place that feels comfortable enough to relax my thoughts and enjoy the city. Much sooner than later, this will be a reality
