Ciao Blogisphere-
Wow. It has been far too long since I last updated. I apologize. I have gotten word from a few close friends and parents that they missed hearing about my boring day to day life, so here I go again. Stress and drama have seemed to follow me a bit to Austin, so I've been spending the last 2 weeks pushing it as far away from me as humanly possible. There is always light at the end of the tunnel, no matter what happens on the way, and I'm figuring that out slowly but surely.
I can't really remember what everyday happening has occurred since my last update. I had to actually go back and re-read what I had written.
My car will be ready from all the repair on Wednesday of this upcoming week, which makes me OH so happy. Although, experiencing life without a car for the first time in my adult life, has really made me think. When you have a car, you never really think about not having a car, and how much it stops you from doing things. I know for sure it's stopped me from being social. People will ask me out for a drink after work or something and out of respect of not wanting to make someone lug me around I decline the invite.
I've been taking the bus to work every night. At first it was a fun little adventure. People watching every time I took a ride. Seeing how the other people live. Now it's become more of an annoyance. The last week or so, the bus has been running really late, it's been a lot hotter outside, with school about to start the busses have been 50x busier than before. But I really don't mean to complain. I'm honestly just spoiled to sitting alone in my car with my NPR and my air conditioning and having the freedom to do what I want, when I want. I do appreciate Austin for having such an awesome bus line available so that I'm not forced to walk in 200 degree weather to and from work every night. If this would have happened in almost any other city in Texas I would have been royally screwed.
The jobs are going as well as they can. I'm figuring out FOR SURE that I'm ready to be back in school so that someday I can have a big girl job. I'm seeing people I know that I went to high school with that are just graduating college and starting their big people jobs this fall and I'm a little jealous. But that's all me, ya know. It's all what I'm willing to work for and willing to do to get where I need to be. I'll get there...slowly but surely. I'll finish school and I'll be happy with my life.
BIg announcement. Many of you have asked, and I'm happy to let you know that we have a new roommate at Blue House. CATSPUTIN!!! Walter was kind enough to bring him to me after lots of confusion and drama, and after only about 2 hours he was out and ready to play. He seems very excited and into his new environment and likes my roommates, which is a big plus. He's taking a cute catnap on my bed right now. :)
I'm going home this weekend for the first time. My good friend and wonderful next door neighbor, Kelsey, is kind enough to let me borrow her car for the weekend to drive home to see my family. My sister and her boys are in town from Florida and we're doing our annual family pictures. So that should be exciting. Plus I get to go back to my old job and work a shift, which is uber exciting. I miss all my customers and old partners. :)
Ok. Enough. I'm going to go throw back a few beers and hang out with some friends.
