I'm alive
It's been one of those weeks- lots of work (yay) lots of play (yay) lots of car repairs (boo) and Jake leaving next week (boo).
Been working all the jobs. They do bring in a significant amount of money, and it keeps us going. They don't bring in enough to support Jake and me and two car payments. For this reason, Jake is going back to Ms to work for his dad's construction company until he can get a job here. On the bright side, we're in a place where something needs to happen, unfortunately, this seems to be the only thing for now. He's still looking for things here, but his degree and experience just aren't hiring here, like they just aren't hiring for people with my skills in MS. We're gunna make it, it's just going to take time.
Pixie got herself stuck in a tree this morning. It wasn't a regular tree either- it was one of the tall pine trees. Poor thing. I felt so bad when I left her to go to work. She eventually did get down though, and made it inside. She seems to be ok.
My car is expensive. I knew I should have had it checked out before I left MS. It needed an oil change, a smog check, a new gas cap, a new filter, a few nozzles tweaked, and this that and the other. I'm glad that I opened my IRA. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to pay for it. On the bright side, even with getting Scarlet repaired, it was still cheaper than registering in MS. Yay for me, I think.
Anyway, I've got to get going. I have another shift at another job tonight. I need to get stuff out of the car too. Hope everything is well
