Halfway Done - And the Death in the family....

So... I figure the title says it all.

My Uncle Mike passed away this morning. It hurts too. He was my Uncle.

I know my Dad is hurting bad though. So is my Aunt Kathy. I can hear it in their voices.

I still gotta work again tomorrow though.

Thats the sucky part....

We don't know when his memorial is going to be...

Not soon enough though... He's getting cremated, and according to the family, the minister they want is unavailable for the next two weeks. So... no memorial... for a while. Which to me... is disrespectful. But his wife has the reigns on this one. So be it.

As for me... well. Four more weeks. Then I'm home to Virginia. :) Happy day's that will be.

I've got 1400$ saved up. Its pretty amazing. I'm excited.

So. Thats really all i want to type... so I will catch ya'll later.

Text me.

Day (no idea)- Wishing for home

So, I'm sitting here at dad's bosses house, while they are away on vacation, house sitting. I might add that I'm also spending more time here because Dad is just flat out annoying?

Anyway. A basic update from the last update, which looks to be about a week n a half ago. I worked at the resturaunt for two hours the next day. Pitful... when i could have made 120 at the plant. Lets just put it simple. i don't work there anymore.

I've been working at the plant mostly every other day and this past week... every day. I'm wiped and blew my knee out this morning so I called in sick.. It still aches, but I can work tomorrow. I've also got 1100$ saved up for the car so far! :D I'm so happy.

I leave NoLA on the 2nd of August, around 8am. Plane flight. 1st time. It will be interesting.

My delimma... My fish. Felix. I need to get him back. Somehow... I'll figure it out. Damnit.

Anyway. I work tomorrow. Ttyl

Day 11 - Missing my Girls

Day 11 - June 2nd, 2010

Today was a good day. Dad woke me up so I could drive him to work. I came back and went back to bed. Spent last night with the boy-toy, ;) Make your own assumptions, I will not post anything with a worse rating that PG13. Chilled after I officially woke up for the day till I had training at the restaurant. Which didn't last long, but i got to bring home dinner, which was nice, and free. :D Then just spent the rest of the day, relaxing and hanging out. I liked it. I felt like I've had a day off work. But I work tomorrow at 10am. So its a busy day :D. I also, if Scott bumps me up to full time, will more than likely, leave my job at the restaurant for him, unless I can convince her to let me work after 4pm. Spare change if you may.

Anyway, Just a quick update. Now off to bed.

Day 9 & 10 - Busting Ass

Day 9 & 10 - May 31st and June 1st, 2010

May 31st -

Well, I spent the day in my bed, hacking my brains out. Reading what I could. And playing on Facebook for the rest. A good day off.

June 1st -

Woke up this morning to my Dad telling me to get my ass up and moving, cause I got called into work. I worked hard... 6 am to 4 pm. I'm aching, thats for sure.

Plus side to that, I just made 120$ in a day. :D I also have 400 Dollars setting aside for the car :D Its awesome.

Boytoy wants to hang out tonight too. And to be honest. I'm tempted. ;) Why the hell not after all? Im still thinking about it, cause I need dinner.

Sorry for the breif update. Not much else to talk about.

Day 8 - I ain't no Cinderella!

Day 8 - May 30th, 2010

So today my day started bright and early... and more than likely end early as well.

I was up at 0300 from lack of air-flow no thanks to my sinuses, and this sore throat. I really had to be up at 0400 so I could go take care of the dogs I'm pet sitting, and still get breakfast and be to work on time.

It was a hardcore bust ass day... and I'm sore. Its been a while. I will say I felt like Cinderella with a Hard-hat, and boots, just no apron. My thumb knuckle is bruised from frequent use of a broom against it. Blisters and calluses adorn my hands, rubbing and almost blisters riddle my feet and ankles. What have I gotten into? I was drenched by 730 with sweat, and I swear my clothes got heaver and heavier with soot and sweat as the day wore on. Sorry for the gruesome details, but tis true! Mind you, this is also only one job! I have three! I'm house sitting occasionally for dad's friend, then add Cargill, and Connie's opens up on Wednesday, and I'm basically an Assistant chef there. It's insane!

Good beginning to the summer and job's though! Gotta save it. All the money I get. Yeap. Gotta get it all in the bank where I cannot touch it.

That was the good news.

The bad news?

I'm not getting any better with this sickness. I can hardly talk today. And it hurts to do so as well.  >.<

Well, thats the NoLA update, so I'm going to tune into the race, and relax for a bit till I crash.

Day 7 - UPDATE!

So I have scored two jobs today!

I'm working part time at the Cargill Factory cleaning, and mostly full time at Connie's Restaurant down here as a chef/server. Thanks big time to Trevor Nordquist for all the experience at the Henry Clay Inn Restaurant in A-town!

I start at cargill tomorrow at 0600.

Day 6 & 7 - Boredom Settles In

Day 6 & 7 - May 28th and 29th, 2010

So I've officially fallen into the bored category for the summer. I spent yesterday at PJ's Coffee till I decided I needed to go out and do more applications. Which ended up being around 1pm. I've lost count of the amount of applications I've put in. And lost track of all who I applied too. Got back to the house a little after three and then  resumed reading another book, the Silver Flame By Hannah Howell. Good book, Highly recommend. Except it was easily predicted. The book i read the night before though, had me guessing till the very end. Highland Captive. Same author. But it had me guessing consistently. Hannah Howell is so far one of my favorite romance novelists with all her Highlander Romance, but I am straying from my lovely romances to read a few different books on the list. Not sure what they are called till I start reading them.

POA for today? Well, I already took dad to work, although it was a pain just rolling out of bed. My throat is icky again, and i stayed up all night hacking my brains out. So hopefully this goes away and soon. Thank you GB, for giving me whatever you had. Very respectfully, of course.

Also, Job interview at some point today. Dad has hooked me up with a Job (hopefully) at his work, and it pays good, 10 hours a day, 6 days a week, for 12 bucks an hour. Untaxed (1099) paycheck (^.^) I'm excited, and hopefully I get the job. Cause it would mean I'd have enough for my vehicle in about 2 weeks, and enough for car insurance the week after that. Then the rest into savings for school and the trip home. Pray for my luck that I get it!

After that, I may start working a bit today, If not start tomorrow (hopefully, knock on wood)

This would also mean less time to update the blog. Less time for Facebook, which doesn't kill me anyway, and ten times easier for loosing weight and eating right. Which is already decently easy. Not much to eat here, so I pick and choose what is good for me to eat. Running every night has been also, much easier than I expected. I block out an hour of my day to go running around the neighborhood loop across the street from the house. Though, I've taken two days off from it.

Well, I'm off here for the day. Back to playing till this job interview.
