Thanksgiving

It's Thanksgiving and everyone is posting what they are thankful for. I'm having a hard time thinking of what I'm grateful for because most of mine is negative. I'm not a very happy person and asking time off from the job at the college has made me feel a,one, like really alone.

My family is not close anymore and all I do is disappoint my family, they put me down a lot and I think they don't like what I do in life. It hurts and I have very few friends which is not a bad thing.

I'm grateful I have jobs, a place to live and food and friends.

My family is a different story and it's had for me to be happy on holidays with them, it's really just another day to me not a holiday.

As much as I don't want to work today, I'm still going in and hope they don't call me in tomorrow. 

Well I should go and do whatever I need to before eating and work.

My Weekend

I thought I wrote about my weekend here but I guess not. It's okay, I will write about it now.

I had a fantastic weekend!!! It was fun and I needed to get out so this weekend was worth it to not work.

Friday I worked Red and White night at the college and I was a cashier for the bar. Did a lot insajes and had a $1 discrepancy which is awesome!!! Waited forJodi because I offered to give her a ride home and she does live near me.

Saturday was fun and we saw Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, great movie! Saw it in 3D. Glad I went, I don't remember the last time I went to the movies either.

After the movie I came home and messaged my friend Matt. He had messaged me earlier when I was at the movies. He was meeting up with his fraternity to catch up with people which is fine.

I told him I was home the rest of the night and to let me know if he wanted to meet up. Well we made plans to meet on Sunday morning before he went to lunch and before he would leave to go home.

Haven't seen Matt in 2 years so it was great to see him Sunday morning. We went to The Bagel Works and split a bagel.

It was fun to be out and to talk to Matt. I talk to him through facebook messenger but it's better to see him in person plus I wanted a hug. 

We talked about everything from work to family to friends and places I would like to go. It was nice to talk and I need to go out to The Bagel Works more often.

Yes I reviewed them on Trip Advisor and will get a review up soon on blogger too. I need to try more if there food.

So when Matt had to leave so he could meet with Psi U for lunch then head home I was bummed but he is seeing a lot of people in like 2-3 days so he has little time for other things.

I know how it is because I have gone to book events and anime cons, you don't have much time if you are doing a lot. It makes sense and I understand.

We walked back to our cars and said our goodbyes, I was a little sad but happy I got to see Matt. The last time was 2 years ago.

So I'm hoping he can cone up again next semester but I know he has family obligations too. 

I am glad I got to see Matt and go see a movie with Jodi, I need tiger out more.

It's Friday!!!!

Good Morning!

The sun is out today and I'm happy that it is! It's also Friday!!!!

I haven't been this excited for a weekend off in a long time but I am.

Working tonight for Red and White night for the seniors. Also need to get laundry done so I have clean work clothes.

Today is mostly relaxing but then work. My only plan for tomorrow is see Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them just not sure what time I will be going.

I'm doing fantastic! Work has gone great this week and it's been a great week. Looking forward to having some time off too.

I did a few secret santas on facebook and got one gift purchased and need to get one more. As much as I don't Christmas shop anymore, it is nice to give.

Okay, going to relax and do a few more things then make sure I enroll in benefits for work.

Have a great day!

Good Morning!

Good Morning!

I'm doing much better and today is a new day.  Not sure why I was feeling so many emotions on Sunday and Monday but I do think some of it has to do with it being period week.

Sometimes during this week I have cravings, grouchy, sad, or just outright a butch. I hate that my hormones go out whack.

So today is much better and it's chicken patty Wednesday at work.

I requested next Monday and Tuesday off next week and my boss says I can work if I want to do thinking it over. If I do it would only be Monday and I would take Tuesday off.

Picked up more nursing hours for next week too so I will be busy but it's nice to have a cushion for pay in between jobs.

I finished 2 books recently!!! So excited and I need to get the second book by Jessica Hildreth. Frankly is one hot mama!

So that's my news, I still plan on going to the movies this weekend. Hoping to see Kevin and Matt. I know Matt is coming up and I haven't talked to Kevin lately which I should.

Other than that, I'm definitely taking this Saturday and Sunday off. Going to relax before I really pick up more hours for nursing.

I also need the money besides bills, to get my tattoo colored in on my right arm, make another appointment to get my earth dragon in January then get that colored in March while the college is on spring break.

That's the plan for now but it may change for tattoos.

Okay more later or tomorrow, need to get ready for work.

Have a great day!

Happy Sunday! And a Update

Happy Sunday! 

I slept late today but I also stayed up late too. When I work 3-11pm I stay up til 2 or 3am then go to bed. Not sure why but guess my body needs to unwind.

So today is ok, feeling a lot of emotions tonight but not sure how to word them. Could be me and my period is coming this week and that could be why.

Hoping to get back on track with a few things and get back to my writing. I really need a new computer and the MacBook Pro is not cheap. It's worth the money but need to save up for one.

Would like another tattoo but saving my money.

Good news is I finished a book! Love the author too and they manage to put a twist in the book that I never see coming!

Looking forward to the weekend coming up and work. Work is good and I'm ready for a break too from it but for now going to work.

Need to do laundry and just watching reruns plus playing games. 

Life is good, a little upset but until I feel better I think watching tv is a better option.

Accomplished today

Today I have gotten a lot done which is good and I'm happy about it. I also have frozen playing in the background too.

Things are good too, been staying up to date on my blog and my personal journals too. I like updating and not sure who reads what I write but hey, hope I entertain you somehow.

Family is good today, got to see Felicia yesterday and glad I could talk to her. Miss spending time with her.

I took yesterday off and normally take every Friday off from both jobs to rekax and really not do anything. Next week Friday I'm working Red and White night but otherwise taking the weekend off. 

A friend of mine is coming to Keene for the weekend too so really excited to get out and have fun with them. Also I think Kevin is coming into town too.

Going to see Fantastic Beasts andWhere To Find Them with Connie, if she can't make it then I will go by myself which I don't mind if that happens.

Otherwise things are really good right now, not much has happened. Been working like I normally do, haven't Christmas shopped at all but don't plan on it because my family spoils the 3 great grandchildren. 

I never see Lizzie and she is spoiled anyways and a brat. Lexi has pretty much everything so I really don't shop for her plus my aunt and uncle spoil her! Makayla has a lot of stuff and I don't think she needs much either. This is why I don't shop for Christmas.

My family does shopping for the 3 great grandchildren which is fine. I think the only person that gives me more gifts is my mom but she never gets me anything I could use. Last year I got a spatula and she said it was for when I move out.

Okay, when am I moving? Lol, I don't have plans to move out.

Anyways I don't think I will be invited to the Franklin St Christmas party this year which is okay plus I don't know what to get anyone either. It's okay because I can say a prayer the crew from the Franklin St house (old crew)

Maybe I will get Connie a gift, she makes cakes so I could get her some baking stuff.

Hmmmmmm.... I would have to do that soon though because I think by December 16th the college goes on Winter break and I may not get to see her over the break.

I'm planning on getting a lot of hours at the nursing home for winter break to save money and make sure my bills are paid on time plus next month is car inspection and registration month for me.

Not looking forward to it but it comes with owning a car.

So that is my news today, great day today and I work at 3pm for nursing so need to make a lunch for tonight too. I can rekax a bit tomorrow and do laundry as well.

So I'm going to leave for now, get some stuff done and relax before work. The sun is out and hoping it's a little warmer today.

Have a great Saturday everyone!

Part 2 of My Trip and Other Things

Part 2 of my trip, finally! I know right? You must be thinking it's about time.

So I left off with my day of shopping and flying out plus unpacking in my room in the 13th floor.

I was very happy to see everyone from the previous year and I met new people too. That was a lot of fun to meet new people.

So on the first night of the MBLU we all met and learned more about Pets for Vets which is a great cause. 

After all the speeches, stuff was given out and we played Cards Against Humanity which was soooo fun. I also met 3 new people and I decided that I would sit at a table with people I didn't know.

I met new authors and readers. We had so much fun playing Cards Against Humanity and snacks were provided so we had candy, Sosa, wine and beer available.

That was a fun night and there were prizes for everyone there. I got a lot of prizes but did give up a few so other people could get prizes.

After I retired to my room to relax and get to bed early. Being in Minnesota I was an hour behind everyone else at home. Also getting little sleep the night before and flying did make me tired.

The next day, there was panels and we also had a Lip Sync battle between cover models and authors. It was fun to watch and fun.

Panels were great and just being able to walk in the mall was a lot of fun. Mall ofAmerica is fun and sometimes you need to take a walk so I did that and I also got food at Buffalo Wild Wings.

Friday night was the formal dinner and the DJ dance and Live Photo booth. I wore my purple 50's style dress which I love and got a petticoat for too.

Dinner was very good, it was a played meal and very tasty. Dessert was yummy.

After dinner I went to change into my other dress, yes I did two dress changes in one day. It was fun to dress up.

I changed into my purple dress, yes another purple dress. I accidentally One clicked this dress on Amazon. But it looked awesome!

So I changed, got a longer petticoat underneath and managed to lace the back til I could find someone to help. I wore the same shoes from dinner and put my cape on and went downstairs.

I got someone to help with the back of my dress and I went to the dance. I saw everyone then decided to go get my photo taken with the cover models.

As I was walking to the photo booth I spotted another female who had the same dress as me. As I got closer I noticed it was the same style but different color. Lol, we decided to get our photo taken because we were "twins". We got our photo taken with all 3 cover models and then the two of us.

Her name is Tara and she was very nice and fun to talk too. I bought her book at the signing. I loved her book too, fast but very adventurous.

So Saturday was more panels and a dinner that was sponsored by a author and the event coordinator. It was great and after we had book bingo.

Book bingo was a lot of fun and of course there were prizes. There was also a release party for Michele Shriver's new book at the event which was fun.

Sadly I had to leave Sunday very early for the airport but I had a lot of fun. I would go back again too next year.

This event is great for book lovers and if you want to meet new people and discover new authors. I'm already looking forward to next year for MBLU.

So for the next part of this post I will do a separate post.

I'm back!

So I'm back! Lol, work helped clear my head of the negative crap which is good. Work was ok but at least I'm getting my weekend hours in for the month.

Watching Beauty and the Beast at the moment. So work was good, treated myself to Panera and working on saving money.

I'm happy and I get to work tomorrow too so everything is going well. It's rare I say that too. 

So I made some goals, they are:

1. Save money (even if it's just pennies)
2. Plan a trip to a place I haven't been 
3. Work on my writing.

I plan on bringing in change to the back but only a little at a time. They don't like it when you bring in a lot of spare change. I could use the coin star machine too.

So those are my 3 goals and yes I plan on having fun too.

Later, going to bed soon and I'm getting tired.

Happy Friday!

Hello and happy Friday! I'm working this weekend but I picked up the hours and relaxing tonight.

I will update later about my trip so by tonight a post will be up. 

Not much new today, just been working and being home and trying to save money. Right now bills are getting paid which is good but sucks because I don't have a lot of money left over to save.

I am happy my family doesn't charge me rent and I have offered to pay bills in the house and pay rent but they won't hear of it.

So looked up Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, now to figure out when to go see it but may make those plans for that weekend, not sure yet and I invited a coworker to go with me too.

Things are good, got my flu shot today which is mandatory if you work in the medical field so I had to get it.

Better to have it then not get it plus cold and flu season is here.

I was reflecting a bit yesterday and had memories pop up too. This happens when I have time on my hands.

Not sure if I want to go into detail about my reflections but hey, it's nice to reflect. I'm not mad about anything in the past except my ex( I should never have dated him).

I now see a pattern and I think it's time for a change. Going to make some small goals for myself and see how it goes.

For now I'm working, hopefully going to watch a movie and relax. Already put my order in for my birthday cake with Connie. It's going to be raspberry chocolate. The cake will be chocolate and will have a raspberry mousse.

Excited and maybe I will go out to celebrate my birthday, haven't really decided on that yet but for now I have a cake for next month.

So more later and more of my trip.

Today

I will try to post part 2 of my trip tomorrow or Friday.

I'm home today from work because of a doctors appointment. The appointment was not a great one and very painful. 

Before you ask, NO I will not tell you why or what. I need more information and I'm not ready to share with all of the internet what's wrong with me.

My boss was nice and gave me the day off. He's very understanding and I'm lucky to get the day off.

I haven't done much today but I needed the rest. 

Normally I would work my scheduled shift but today would not have gone well.

Not much is new with me, just making plans to see Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them later this month.

So work tomorrow and maybe work at the nursing home.
