because apparently people actually read these, i've been feeling a need to update my blog. tonight is the night i guess, i just got done working a seven hour shift with Remmy, and the day's been good to me thus far. i woke up early because the dogs (i'll get to that in a minute) were whining to go out unusually early, let them out and went back to sleep. i considered for a moment staying up those few extra hours to clean the house but decided against it, as i usually just sleep 'til about noon during the week and get ready for work at three.
anyways, i woke up at about 11:30, woke up and smoked a cigarette, took a shower and went to town, where i had to pay a speeding ticket (5 over instead of 15, reckless driving saywut). it ended up being only 125, which i was glad for since i had taken out my total savings, a mere 200, the day before and would have been fucked had it been a larger amount. i got that done and stopped at homeboy's for a minute, we talked, and i went to work.
my shift was pretty easy this time around, i took Remmy to an appointment then came back to my mom's and waited for my sister to get home from babysitting, where Remmy and i ate the arby's that we had bought on the way down. after that we went to get my car from the mechanic's after a long month of having to use my sister's car, apparently they had put the wrong transmission in my car when they put it in the first time around. i took Remmy home, got some food in her belly, and came to my mom's house, where i am now. i have to do a financial report for the equestrian team that i coached this summer, then i get to go home- to my place.
to make a long story short, i was with one of my kids (consumers, whatever) at the recycling facility this past fall and i ran into an old coworker of mine, and she had asked me if i needed a place to stay, that her mother was ill and her dogs needed sitting, that they were cat killers and couldn't be kept at the daughter's house. i told her yes and gave her my number, and within days she had contacted me to confirm that the other girl whom she had offered this opportunity before me couldn't do it, and that the house was essentially mine for the taking. i of course said yes, and i moved in mid-october. i've been there since, buying my own food and laundry detergent, that kind of shit. i admit that sometimes i get lonely and wish that i had somebody to eat or sleep with, but all in all, i absolutely love living by myself. the mother of the daughter with whom i spoke with in october is not doing so well as of now, and it's been made known that the mother is on a limited time frame. what will happen once the mother passes is not something that i'm sure of, but i do know that i should be safe until i at least get my taxes back, potentially setting me up to get my own apartment.
i've also, as you can tell, got my own car, and that is a coincidence in itself. it's a monte carlo and it's all mine as far as the title goes. i've been dealing with a few technical difficulties as far as that goes, but like i said, i just got it back from the mechanic's and she seems to be running like a champ. shit's definitely turned around a lot since spring, and i'd be a fool to not credit God (because seriously, i could not have better arranged that day at the recycling place) and 9 months to the day of recovery, solidly grounded in narcotics anonymous.
it might be a minute before i update my blog again, but i can imagine that shit's only going to get better from here.
i might not be geographically where i am for too much longer, but i am going to be clean for the next foreseeable future and for the rest of my life. homegirl actually offered to get a place together out in colorado where her sister and niece and nephew live once she gets her feet on the ground and is able to get her own place, and i told her i would think about it. it's too early to tell and my money's not right for a move like that quite yet, but we'll see.
i'm also down to one job again, the one where i look after the disable girl and the autistic boy, and that seems to be going as well. if i stay 'til summer then this will be the first job that i have had for a straight year, and i'm also kind of proud of that in a way.
anyways lol, that's about it as far as updates go, although the small nuances and coincidences of where i'm at are far too long and exacting to even consider putting into a single blog, especially one that i don't exactly update on a regular basis.
happy trails, bitches

You always have a positive attitude and that says a lot about who you are as a person and what the future has in store for you. I'm glad you updated us!
