I've had my job for nearly 7 months now, and other than mentioning it on here I haven't really thought a whole lot about it. I still love, love, love my job - finally got a nameplate on my office last week, so that was cool :) It's not my first (or even most private) office, but it IS my first nameplate.
We went to Seattle today to get some home organization things from a store called Storeables. It was a bit too dormy for me - but we did get a few cool things (including lunch at Zao's - SCORE on the spicy Thai noodles!)
I went to the dentist 2 weeks ago and have been in really bad pain ever since. Not so much my teeth, but my gums and especially my neck. I went to the Urgent Care center yesterday morning and the doctor gave me vicodin and a muscle relaxer - neither of which do anything to help at all, unfortunately. Advil works better than anything.
Tall Decaf had an AMAZING jazz solo performance last night. Oh my God my son can sing like an angel! He sang "Under My Skin" by Frank Sinatra, but with a Latin beat. I bought a new video camera thanks to my ex-husband paying some child support arrears to avoid going to jail. (That's what it takes to get the man to pay any money for his own child...the threat of jail.) So, since I've gotten no help from him for a while and spent every penny we had raising kids - I figured Jazz Night would be on ex-husband dipshit decaf. $1000 30 gig HD camcorder, $60 for 3 tickets to the show, and $200 worth of silent auction items we bid on and won. (The best being a nice bottle of red wine for Dave, and for me an awesome handcrafted necklace.) And the best part was free (other than the suit we had to buy for him...) - my beautiful son singing so amazingly. Thanks Dick.
Finally got our cell phones turned back on after Tall and Grande decaf racked up the bill to over a grand. The account was shut off, and I was told there'd be a credit check and a deposit if necessary, but I passed the credit check and there was no deposit - they withdrew the early termination fees, and I only ended up paying a little less than a grand to get the phones back. So now Tall Decaf can't ever use the phone again unless we hand it to him on the weekend.
I miss my mom. I talked to her yesterday and the day before, but until then it had been a long time. She's doing well, but her husband (still can't call him my step-dad) needs another back surgery. She bought an investment house. She's amazing.
My sister is now selling burial plots in a hick-ass town for a living. How low of a job is that? She's still not talking to me after having fucked me over emotionally for the nth time in my life. Of course I'm sure everyone is of the opinion that it's my fault somehow.
Grande Decaf is smoking now. I am so disappointed. He's living with his father so I'm not surprised, just bummed about it. He's also finally gotten a job at a mini-market, but it's only a few hours a week - and still no drivers license or GED. I miss him and wish he'd move back here, but I guess he believes that he's better off out there. Maybe someday he'll change his mind.
I should have been in bed an hour ago - so off I go to take some Advil and try to get some sleep.
I wasn't going to mention it because I don't want to jinx it, but I'm starting a diet tomorrow. No more tofu fries for a while. :( Okay, honestly - I have to admit they're just a method for getting to the peanut sauce. *sigh* I'm gonna miss Thai food for the next few months.
