Summer Thoughts

Yikes! It's been a little while. Well, after I returned from vacation, let's just say I've been working quite a bit. I've picked up more hours at the store, and it's been nice to stay busy. It hasn't helped me with my workout routine, but at least my body is in constant motion during my four to five hour shifts. I'm doing my best to keep up with my activity, but I've had a hard time getting a workout in.

Along with work, I've been working on getting things ready for finding a teaching job. It's been hard, and everyone I know who has gotten a job has given their best advice but have said that it's all about luck. I don't know how well 'luck' will work for me, but I am making sure that I'm ready and as prepared as possible for when the time comes to look for a job again.

Because of my schedule, I haven't been able to draw as much, but I have kept up with writing. It's been a nice little outlet for me, and easy to take twenty minutes a day to write something down. I know I'll be able to keep that up. As far as money goes, it's been alright. Besides Christmas, I know I want to take a little time to splurge a little before money gets tight. At the end of November, I have to become a real adult and pay for my own health insurance. My parents are great, and will be helping out with my phone and car stuff as much as possible, but I can't believe I've finally reached this life milestone.

Lol. I know. I'm a little lame, and lucky in some respects. Whether I say it or not, I thank my parents for everything they have done so that I can take care of the most important things.

Besides work and eventually becoming a big kid, I also had my first lady doctor appointment. No details will be given, but I was more nervous than I should've been. Another first and life event to cross off my list. Next up, finding a normal doctor in case there's an emergency.

Also, in July, my sister and brother-in-law packed up their house in So Cal and finally made the move up to Seattle, Washington. I'll always love So Cal, but I can't wait to go and have the chance to explore Seattle! I know it will be fun.

Whelp, that's about all I've got this time around.

Later days! <3>
