This week has gone extremely fast, and it's been good. I've been sleeping a little better...not exactly normal, but closer to it than I've been for months. My mom has apparently been having trouble getting me to wake up. She was supposed to take me to the bank this morning so I could deposit my check and withdraw a couple hundred dollars. I don't ( Read more... )

I normally use opendiary...someone gave me a one year gift subscription to that site, so I'll be using it at least until my year is up. =Þ  I missed my LJ, though. I was a lurker here for quite a while, just reading up on a couple of friends. I've missed Ziranath  and  dwunc , among others. I never really kept up with LJ, and last night I decided to move all my ( Read more... )

Oooh, I'm an official 7-Eleven employee. Please hold your applause. It's a job that will come in handy until I get a car, then I'll be able to look for a real job instead of some craptastic temporary thing that's close enough to walk to. This is the part I hate about starting over ( Read more... )

Yesterday afternoon one of my neighbors came over and asked me if I would be willing to sit with her 2 year old granddaughter and elderly aunt while she ran a few errands this morning. She wanted me there at 9, so I showed up about ten minutes early. She explained their normal routine when I got there and told me to ring her cell if I had any ( Read more... )

Today, Sis is 20 and I am 26 (don't feel a day under 50). Woo! I woke up this morning to Fred barking his crazy little head off. I sat up, groggy and confused, and eventually realized someone was knocking on the door. I wrangled the dog and stuck him in the basement; he sometimes tries to eat strangers. As I made my way to the door I wondered who ( Read more... )

I woke up at six because Freddie the dog was doing the pee-pee dance on my chest. He weighs about 40 pounds, so it got my attention. Well, the jumping, clawing, and licks-of-death would've done it regardless of his weight, but whatever. The point is, I woke up hella early. Word. I'll blame the ebonics on the fact that it's way too fucking early to ( Read more... )

The title explains my current state of mind. I tell ya, the things I get myself into. I'm not going to elaborate because I don't wish to embarrass myself any further at this point, but I'll come clean eventually. I want to say thanks to Paul for his patience and tolerance, and I'll leave it at that. =P ( Read more... )

I was sick most of last night, but it wasn't too bad. I think I went to bed sometime between 3 and 4, but I don't remember even looking at the clock. I'm always up late. I just remember laying on the couch with one of my notebooks, feeling achey. Then there was the emotional crap. I just kept bursting out into tears at random times. I'd see a ( Read more... )

Today makes 3 weeks since Mike died, and I'm having a hard time dealing tonight. His mom sent me a package today. There were puppy notecards from her, and two birthday cards that Mike wanted to give me. He told me at the end of February that he'd feel bad if I had to spend my birthday at the hospice center. I told him not to be an ass, hehe. Also ( Read more... )

Mom got discharged from the hospital late Sunday afternoon. She was instructed to take Monday and Tuesday off of work. She had an extremely nasty stomach virus and an inflamed pancreas, but she's feeling much better now. She and I went to her hair stylist last night; she got a cut, I got a cut and color. I haven't been my natural blonde for about 2 ( Read more... )
