My First Blog

So, I've started a blog, not only because I think it'll help me be more motivated and remember what I'm supposed to be doing, but also give Alex an update on what I'm doing with my days. Pretty exciting I know...

Today, I wanted to wake up at 8:00, because this past week I've been sleeping in too late. If I stay in bed past 11:00, I feel that I've wasted the best part of the day! I've missed the morning sunshine, the breakfast food time, and the nice weather in the morning. I don't think I'll be taking off a week any more. I like to try to stay busy, and make time go faster.

Last week, I got my application for nursing done and turned in, which has turned out to be a huge stress reliever. My latest stress however is what my financial state will be in January. I will hopefully be starting nursing (which is fantastic) but will have to pay rent, dental bill, phone bill, food, gas, blah blah blah. Welcome to the real world Ellen.

I also felt quite motivated today. I turned in my late video, and made my exciting dentist appointment for Monday. No more flipper for me! I also made a trip to Verizon, and found out that I am in fact not scatter brained. Last time I was in there, I put a freeze on Alex's phone, and brought the orders so I wouldn't have to pay a cancellation fee. The man at the desk told me that I would have to mail them to "someone" within the next 30 days, or we would be charged a cancellation fee. Turns out, there is no one that I need to mail them to! I didn't forget the person who was supposed to recieve the orders because there's no one there!

Now I'm at home, and I'm going to be working today. I enjoy my job very much, because it's a change from regular people. That's the only way I can think of to put it. People from 60 years ago have a different way of talking to each other and me. It's easy for me to be friendly, whereas I find myself getting very annoyed at the fidgety people at the gas station, cell phone store, and anywhere else I go; and I think I'm a pretty tolerant person.

That's all I have to say for today. Let's see how tomorrow goes!
