Sorry friends this is late again! Will try to do it either Saturday night or get up earlier on Sunday morning. NOT easy they keep giving me closing then openings past few but hey I will try harder next weekend...
1. Work has been going okay. Just hard to believe I have been at same said job for 10 months now. 10 months is a long time! I hit my 10 month on the 8th (yesterday actually) even if I was hired on the 1st and officially on the 3rd my real first day was the 8th of April. I am unsure how much longer I will keep this job. I need to look for a better job. I really need something not retail but since I don't know how many jobs are willing I only work so many days a week and with my hours unsure. But a real job would get me closer to my career and a real job would get me closer to moving out. Anyways work is work. Busy a lot of the time. But I survive best I can. Tired as I am and stuff.
2. Workouts not really. We are just so close to the hot chocolate race and I am not anywhere near in shape and unsure at this point how much I will get done before it happens. Gulp. I do walk a lot at work and for school and stuff but still. Not the same thing. Than again last time I didn't run at a all. I did some running on the 1st time we did this 3 years ago. Shall see as we get closer what I can do.
3. School is going alright. I did my first speech for my class on Thursday. It was NOT fun. I had talked myself into it up until the day of that it wouldn't be so bad. Since the last time I did an actual speech (like 10 plus years ago) I have done so much in front of classes. This includes reading teleprompters, all that broadcast stuff and so on and so on. And yet a speech is way different. It was only 2 minutes long but was the longest of my life. I did practice so I memorized about half. I still can write good speeches my class and teacher agreed I had a nice speech that flowed and ending well. Plus I was talking about the Nashville flood almost 5 years later and than I got to missing Nashville a whole lot more than I wanted to say. And still am. I'm scared if I ever visited that great state I wouldn't leave even if I was no where prepared to move back! True story.
4. Well I did my taxes almost 2 weeks ago and I am a bit upset. They claimed it would take same time as last year. LIES. Last year it took 10 days. That was Saturday. So I am now 2 days past that window. It could take 21 days that is the 18th. I need the $$ beyond yesterday. I need a new phone. While I have plans for fun stuff too I do need stuff. I need to take my dog to the vet for her various medical things. I need new tennis shoes as mine died. Some are fun stuff (a banjo for example) but the race has to be signed up for and paid for asap. And my sister was counting (what a joke!) on me loaning her $$. Sigh. Not happy government not happy irs at all!
5. Its been 7 years since our first almost tornado in TN. I wont forget that fateful early morning day in February. We had all our stuff we cared about downstairs and were sleeping down there too. Except the cats Princess and Maggie still in their room. The sirens went off early morning and we went into action throwing ourselves and pets in the bathroom to hide. Mind you we had NO tv and NO weather radio yet. Stupid things we didn't get till later that year. The radio for example cost $15 we thought they cost more or we'd gotten one way sooner. The tv we got in November. So we are in there with our only real radio a handheld I owned waiting this out. It was cramped and small. And with that many bodies in there (2 adults, 1 dog, 2 cats & 1 hamster) it was the longest hour ever. Finally the storm stopped before it hit our area and we were spared. We had thunder and lightning and pouring rain and winds but no tornado near us at all. Scary stuff!
Hard to believe its been 7 wks since I my ear got pierced and we are so close to getting this out. That scares me pretty badly. I will survive this. I will get new earrings but still yikes. Well that's all for now. Got a less busy week ahead of me. I don't work again till Friday (then 4 days in a row) and I am off for the holiday on Thursday so my only real SCHOOL is tomorrow. Yup. Still lots to do. So see you in a few days. Have a good week everyone!!
