So I'm on another 11 day stretch of work. I'm trying not to complain too much because it means money. It's just that by the end of it I'm completely dead and end up wasting my days off doing nothing. Then suddenly it's already time to go back to work. Vicious cycle I tell ya.
I'm also making Christmas gifts this year. So far it's been going pretty well. I have Ben, the girls I work with, my mom, my grandma, his grandma, his mom, my brother-in-law, and my dad squared away. Still don't know what I'm going to do for my brother since all he likes are electronics. Can't really make those!
Since I last updated this, Ben lost his job at the youth center. So he's back to square one and we are stressing out a little about paying our bills. That's why I've been working overly much. Currently he's working for a cranberry marsh, but that is only for about another week or so. But I'm trying not to panic, and I'm trying to keep him calm too. Keeping fingers crossed he either finds something or gets approved for unemployment. (it's still in process)
We're going to have a brand spanking new driveway at our apartment building in a few more days. Since we moved in we've been driving on dirt and gravel. For the last few days they have been preparing the drive for blacktopping. Shows how mundane my life is when something like this gets me excited.
I can't believe it is already October. It's like summer just wizzed by with a casual "hey! how you doing" and away it went. Now the cold has started again which causes depression to set in. We'll see how my new car handles the winter weather driving.
