It seems like I haven't written in forever. I always want to write, but feel like I never have time, or just don't make time.
Things have been ok... Sheila moved in 2 houses down about a month ago, so we have been hanging out a lot. We try and go for a walk every night, but it doesn't always happen.
I've been trying to walk at least 2 miles every morning. Sometimes I don't walk as far, or I don't walk at all. At night Sheila and I try to walk 2 miles, too. So sometimes in one day I'll walk anywhere between 1-4 miles. I've also been trying to eat better, but it's not that easy when I close a lot. I bought myself an Ipod Nano so I wouldn't be so bored during walks.
Work is still there..... The last few weeks I've been closing a lot and I'm not happy about it. Right now I'm working a 7 day stretch, and 6 of them are closing shifts. It doesn't help that it's a holiday weekend! Next week all my shifts are closing. Julie doesn't close at all, and Connie only got 2 days. It's a bunch of bullshit.
For the most part I've been feeling ok. The last week or so I've felt a little dizzy. I haven't started my period yet, but I've been pretty irritable and craving junk. So I don't know if I'll start soon or what.
I'm sick with a cold right now or something. People would probably assume it's allergies, but I think I would've gotten something a month or so ago when pollen was flying around. Who knows. The last few nights I haven't been sleeping very well, and my lower back has been hurting.
Chris lost his job a few weeks ago, but he got hired with the oil company thing in Texas. Jen can't leave NC until 2013 sometime, so she'll be home with the kids by herself for 4 weeks, and then he comes home for 2. They were thinking about coming up to visit this summer but aren't sure if they can now. Maybe in August. Hopefully this job works out for him. It's dangerous but he can make around $8000 a month.
Melissa has a new boyfriend and it's pretty serious. It's someone she works with and I guess he's liked her for a long time. There are probably 10-12 years between their ages and he has a 15 year old daughter. She told Mom last night she's moving in with him since she's practically been living with him the last few weeks. It wouldn't surprise me if they got married some day. I've only met him once so I don't really know what he's like. I kind of feel like he's trying to control her. He put her on his phone plan. He says it was cheaper, but I think it's to see who she's talking to. He also helped her buy a brand new car. They've only been together for like 2 months! Oh well. It's not my life!
I haven't had any major changes in my life, but nothing will fall in my lap, I need to do it. Maybe in September if Chris is in Texas I'll go to NC for a week or so. Maybe I can go to Christine and Sandy's for a few days and talk to them about things. The Carolina Panthers have a home game on Mark's birthday but I haven't mentioned it to him yet. He'll probably be a dick about it.
Things between us have been.... ok. Some weeks we talk more than others. I know work has always been hectic for him, but sometimes I hate accepting it. Probably pmsing doesn't help! A few weeks ago it didn't bother me that we weren't talking much, but within the last week I've been going crazy and it's like I NEED him. But he's busy with work.
Speaking of work... I need to be heading there shortly. I'm not looking forward to it at all.
