the end of a very long month

being as i am tired, and its been a very long month, i am going to slack on my punctuation. heck, lets slide on spelling too. just a quick synopsis of the month:
offered promotion, hesitated but probably for the greater good. my current supervisor may remain as such for he could not get into classes for a degree he wants, hes getting married and wants to buy a house.
put in a garden, its a homely looking little plot in the back that is in danger of overcrowding. i wanted to utilize as much dirt as possible as it was hard work busting though the sod and such. could be ive just gone soft. i got two blisters in the process.
my grandma passed away, i will miss her and think of her often. the last few years the dymensia was already taking her away from us. i personally think its harder to watch a loved one deteriorate mentally rather than physically, though both are extremly hard.
God bless you grandma.
took my planned mini vacation the following week without having to use vacation time and spent most of that time with family. found out my healthier eating habits are working well after being curious enough to step on my sisters scale.
laughed at my dads dating philosphy that he picked up from "sleepless in seattle" that he tried to advise me with. i couldnt help myself, if you know my dad, you know why.
all in all, a good month with the exception of my dear grandmother. i like to take comfort in that shes helping to look after me now.

God bless

Hazah for Days Off

Today I had a day off from my primary job, it was great. It helped to get away from the stresses of thinking about becoming the head person in my area in the very near future where I am also the newest cast member. I worked for a couple hours at my friends game shop today and talked to him about my other work concerns. He's sympathetic to my worries about leading people that I just barely started working side by side with. I take comfort in the thought that it isn't forever and that the first month or two will be the worst.
After working at the game shop I had a "play date" with one of the girls I went through the Massage Therapy program with. She is fun to hang out with, but she is by far the most liberal friend I have. I'm probably her most conservative friend, on the flip side of things. Sometimes it's really hard for me to be with someone so different from myself, but for the most part we get along alright. We went for a walk in Chester Park, she corrected me in the fact that we were more on a hike. Walk, hike; it's all the same to me if its not running or jogging. I like the lower impact exercise. My folks do not have the best knees in the world, so I figure I should try and make mine last and take care of them. My Dad has a sweet deal, about 5-6 years ago he got new ones. (Total sarcasm here; poor Dad. Although he says he wishes that he would have done it sooner.)
At the end of our park "walk" we checked out this new Mexican place, Burrito Union. My friend isn't the biggest on Mexican, so she passed on trying it. The food was really good. I have a whole new appreciation for Mexican since it is on my diet menu and delicious. I decided on the pork since I usually don't make pork for myself. My next cooking challenge will be to learn how to make shredded whatever so I wont have to go out to eat to have it. It can't be that hard can it?

Lazy, Lazy, Lazy

Okay, maybe I'm not really being lazy lately, maybe lethargy is setting in from problems sleeping. I'm not really sure why I'm having problems sleeping, but perhaps I've felt a little stressed lately.
I think and hope that I am finally snapping out of it. Tomorrow I have the day off, so I think that I will, and have every right to, sleep in a little bit. I may even take a nap depending how the day goes and how much I get done.
I rearranged the apartment a little bit and tomorrow hopefully I will get things tidied up a little bit. My room has been the biggest area for neglect lately and it always seem to be low priority. One of these days....

I cannot stand my roommate's cat. To put it bluntly, he's pretty much a little bastard, and I LIKE cats. He pretty much destroys a lot of stuff, and at almost any given time you can find him on his way to destroying something new. Not that I entirely blame him, our apartment is his whole world and he's got to be pretty bored, but its getting old. The living room blinds cannot be left down or shut ever since the plastic was removed, and he keeps destroying my two biggest house plants.
Grr.
I've resorted to placing one plant on a fifteen inch plant stand which helps, and the other may have to soon follow. I must say though, it looks totally tacky having such a large pot on such a tall riser. I just hope the moron doesn't figure out a way to knock one of the 40+ pound pots on himself or I'm certain my roommate would blame me for his untimely death.
Several months back he ate my lucky bamboo that was in my fish bowl.
Poo.
It won't take long before he reduces me to tears at this rate.

Work is interesting lately. My supervisor wants to step down though he is doing a fine job, and my manager has asked me to step up. I admit, I'm a little scared of not doing a good job. My new role would entail making sure everyone stays on task and does what needs to get done, ordering product, scheduling associates, and disciplinary action but hopefully I won't be needing to be doing much of that. I hope my co-workers will respect me enough so that we can all do a good job. I worry about this because of the sarcasm of one of the young men, and the warmth from the Greenpeace atheist.
Heaven help me. They do say though, if God brings you to it, He can bring you through it.
On the plus side, the position would give me a ninety cent raise.
Life is definitely weird lately. Finally perfectly content being a peon and a wrench gets tossed into the works. Lol.
Typical.
