Oh so tired.....
I am exhausted I just took Tylenol PM so I will hopefully be asleep by 8pm. 8 more days..... then it's 2-10:30 hurray!
Had a good weekend, spent time with Kerowyn and Eldan Saturday it was fun and then vegged and cleaned some on Sunday and went to dinner with Tunch (screaming children at the next table sent us packing).
I am really enjoying the new job so far it is great and everyone is really nice. Kerowyn was right again! Thanks girl!

Learning to Deal
I received a call from the Hoover Company (5 mins from my house or less) yesterday for a temp 6 week job. I told them no of course but said I could work part time. He tried to entice me by saying I could end up with a job at the end but there is no guarantee. Not much of an enticement if you ask me. Not giving up something I like that has good benefits for a maybe, not to mention I just started and I am way too tired to screw around with all that crap and besides Joann and I are going to like each other I think, alot.
I need to deal with the fact that just as things are getting better that I must expect that something will annoy me. For instance, I fell last nite due to a hanger (it was as if I stepped on ice and slid) of all things, that the cats must have been playing with or something, because it wasn't even in a place where Tunch would've left it. I already hurt from work of course so this just made it worse when I went down I thought something was broke for sure but as it turns out I think I have only a slight sprain in my left ankle and what feels like stoving in my knee. I cussed so loud and went down so hard that Tunch came flying up the stairs, to see what happened, at which point I was crying from pain, anger and shock. Should be fun to try and work with next week since walking is a third of the job. But will have to suck it up. It just feels extremely stiff right now and occasionally I feel a semi sharp pain go through.
Well I am going get up and go to the folks for a while today. Need to take their tax return to them finally. Have to go to Kinkos to copy it on white paper first. So everyone have a good day!

OUCH
Well first day doing the physical work. Was not stressful mentally at all tho. Kerowyn introduced me to everyone in the building and gave me a long tour. Needless to say my body hurts from the waist down. I am sure I will get used to it though.

Funnest Workday Ever!
So...today was my day in the store. Wasn't sure I would like it but was bounced from dept to dept just learning different things, BS ing, and very little work about 45mins worth all day. I helped a few customers which reminded me of my old job in S.C. when I worked in a upholstery fabric shop it was like I never stopped. Then after lunch I opened a few boxes and then went to a class which was for watercolor painting in which I spent the rest of the day. I figured the manager only meant for me to stay an hr at most but no one ever came until 3:30 and they said to just stay if I wanted as there was nothing I really needed to be doing. So I have two paintings although extremely novice ones to show for it and a drawing along with a book of classes they have that I as an employee can take for free. Whoo hoo, had a really good time.
I am now very tired though and need to get dinner and get to bed. (it is only 6pm I know) I have to get up at 4am from now on until the first week of July to work with Kerowyn. I hope to be asleep by nine and may try Tylenol PM and have Kerowyn call me at 4ish to make sure I am up. Well I am off.......later.......

Day One and Two
Orientation, what more can I say? Manuals, rules etc etc. Joann Jeopardy!!!!!!!! Let's just say I shouldn't try out for the real Jeopardy! Day three will be at a store doing whatever they need me to then it is off to work early mornings with Kerowyn for 7 days.
Nothing else new. Great barbeque on Saturday with all our friends and a few new ones. Sunday was just prep day for work and trying to mow my parents lawn to no avail. There is a small part that was done and it now looks like a redneck lawn because the mower decided not to start after that and then it began to rain.

STOP IT
They are tearing up the road in front of my house and putting in new pipes of some kind but they started at 7am I think, how rude. They seem to be moving rather quickly which is good however, there goes my yard sale again this time because the street is blocked off.
Have good feelings about starting work next week.......this is a record........tells me I did the right thing.......no buts, or ifs I will just start out positive.
Gotta start pulling it together for this party that I am not up for but will try to be by Saturday. Again my apologies to Clio for mixed info, I will miss having you here. =(
Have started out today with no soda and eating better and I will be walking once a day from now on for at least 20 minutes I will make it last because looking at all the cool clothes I can no longer wear yesterday in Aurora did something to me. I will make it last, I will make it last, I will make it last...................I am going to keep repeating this to myself. Must try anything. New job will help some and make me more active physically...if only mental exercise could help I would be a 6.

A New Day
Well brother is up for arraignment today and will hopefully be assigned someone that I can talk to other than the arresting officer. The Offficer was nice and said he hopes that he gets the help he needs. The bail was set high in hopes that he would be evaluated and not be able to get out so that he would have access to a vehicle again. Apparently he has been the topic of conversation for a few weeks prior to this occurance but the powers that be would not let them take him in just for evaluation. They just said to send a letter stating that he must cease and desist. Idiots, you don't tell someone who is not mentally intact to cease and desist, it means nothing to him........my mom will be next because she thinks that she has the right to get back keys, van etc which he had in his possession when arrested just because she says so. Nut. She gets absolutely nothing about the situation. Dad well he gets it, at least now he does but isn't handling it very well. Time to take over I guess, as usual no one seems to be able to cope with anything in my family. I wouldn't give my mom the phone numbers to call because I don't want her to make it worse by calling and making demands which she would do without hesitation or thought to the matter. She is already blaming stuff on the police which is ridiculous like they have anything to do with the fact that he is looney-tunes, which only tells me how looney-tunes she is........next........wouldn't bother me.

The Big House
Well it would seem that my brother we will call him "Nutty Professor" has lost it (no not Bryan, none of you have met this one). He was arrested today on 5 counts ( I just learned this ) which will cost anyone wanting to retrieve him from jail $25,000.00 provided anyone would want to since one charge is resisting arresting and fleeing. This is new territory in my family which on the majority isn't normal to begin with however, most of us keep that in check (to a reasonable degree if that is even true) while in public. However the line has now been crossed. Sources say he wasn't in his right mind, go figure this is my family we're talking about. He is still awaiting booking it could be quite a while before I can get any information. Oh, and who ever said car chases occur only in LA?

Job Prospects
Had an interview today with Nursery in Louisville (plants n stuff) they are to call me tommorrow morning. It would be another office job, it could be better it may not, however I can't be too choosy and I must try something asap other wise paying the rent for July may be difficult. He said we could start part time and see how it goes to see if the job works for me (I like the sound of that, gives me breathing room if it sucks) I also set up an interview for Weds Morning for a construction business that isn't too far away from us in Middlebranch. So.........I could get some work as soon as morning. Cross your fingers. I guess my options are running out but who knows perhaps the delay at Joann's is for a reason? I don't know and I am grateful to Kerowyn for helping me get as far as I did but somehow I have this odd feeling about why it has been delayed, am I crazy? Although my guts have never been always on the money. I figure I could always say no in the morning if he were to ask me to work there, but then if I did and I never got called from Joann's then what? I don't know why this can't be easier.
Love that Jedi quiz...........it's the one that says bad motherfucker on it.........hehehe

Trudging forward begrudgingly
Well, Joann's called they are doing a background check on all the candidates being considered and I will not hear back for a couple of days she said. So....I am moving forward with other applications this am. I have to get a few things at the store later and then I am going to go to Alliance and stop in at a business that called Thursday regarding a job, just to check in. I am then going to go and do the few things at my mom's she requested, maybe...........I may just go bug my ole high school pal over there.

Weather
My occasional hobby is to watch the weather channel especially during hurricane season, here are some sites I came upon today from looking at the National Weather Service Website (first) There are actual tour companies that sell tours for 2 weeks in Tornado Alley chasing tornadoes Amazing. There are some cool pics though.
Tornado Pics
National Weather Service
Ohio Storm Chaser (ours tornado)
Cloud Nine Tours (Tornado Chasing)
Just Tornado Info etc.
Some interesting stuff if you are into Weather like myself. I wish I had the science type mind to learn all this stuff.

 You're so pretty with that endearing little nose and pretty voice, lying around on the bed all day. You like to dream about strange things and you like to hunt your food down. You fear being chased by vicious animals, maybe stemming from a childhood trauma of your dogs destroying all your toys. You better stay away from munching on houseplants...they'll make you sick and it'll tick people off.
What un-famous, un-celebrity from Ann's Little Microcosm of Animal Life are you? Take the quiz!

Thank you Kerowyn for helping me put together a new look for my Blog! It is awesome. I have alot of work to do, such as put in about me info etc. But stay tuned.
Thank you also to Clio and Kerowyn for the cool goodies from the sale........man I am going to have a great time with that stuff. Thank you bunches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trying to relax this weekend and not think about the job situation........it was so much easier in LA, I wish at times I were there because I would've had probably 10 offers by now..........but other than that home is home =)
Jumped in the spas tonite, that was great and did shishka ala Bob's with Eldan and Kerowyn. Time to sleep now I guess, Tunch is asleep already so why not me? He is the one who is always up until all hours I think he is still on CA time.
