A Rainy Sunday

It started raining this morning when I got to work. It's been raining all day. We're supposed to have freezing rain tonight unfortunately. It's still raining and will probably rain all evening and night. I bet the creeks are flooding. 

At home now with my babies. Kali was laying on my lap, I love her, she's my baby. Jen is asleep so she worked last night and she's not feeling good. Her back has been hurting her. She went to the hospital to see about her back but I can't remember what she said they told her was wrong with her. I think it was something to do with her muscles. But she is sleeping now so I am going to try to be quiet this evening and not disturb her. 

Today was a productive day for me. I got lots done and did fe out of dates today which weren't much but 2 bags of stuff is more than enough. I have decided to start checking them on Sunday before April does the order. 

I drank a Banana Vi Shake for breakfast and ate a Banana. I also drank a bottle of water before I got to work. Then I drank 2 cups of Juva Roast. I also ate Almonds as a snack that Jen had gotten me. Almonds are supposed to be good for you. Around 12 I drank another Vi Shake and drank my 2nd bottle of water. As a snack after lunch I ate some Gluten Free Tuscany Chips we sell at work. And I started on my 3rd bottle of water which I haven't finished yet but am almost done with. I have been eating healthier since I started this diet. I got my kit on Friday so I started my diet then. Well technically I started I think it was Thursday that April gave me a shake for breakfast. So I started my diet Thursday because that is when I started eating healthier and stopped eating crap food. So I am on Day 4 of the Body By Vi Diet. Thursday I went to the VA for an appointment and when they weighed me I was 145. I haven't weighed myself because I don't have a scale so I don't know what I currently weigh. I really need to get a scale or see if Mom can get me one. Not sure how much they cost. But having one is important in my dieting process. So that is next on my list to get. And I still haven't taken a before photo and I really don't want to but I know it's important to take one while doing this diet so I can see the change and progress. So I am going to have to suck it up and take one. I don't like my body, hence why I am doing this diet. That's why I don't want to take a photo of myself. 

So I am off The next couple days, gotta work tomorrow though then I'm off yay. Man yesterday I was so busy at work. I did over $5000 in sales yesterday. Needless to say I was slammed. A transformer at a substation in Dooms caught on fire causing around 30,000 people to lose power. So that's why I was so busy because everyone was coming in. I haven't been that busy in quite awhile. In fact I can't remember the last time I did over or even close to $5000 in sales. It was a good day for business for sure. 

Since I have been home I have sat on the couch petting Cinder as she fell asleep. I need to do laundry, it must be done. Jen did laundry last time so it's my turn now. Man Jen made the house look nice, she did a good job at cleaning. Now I just got to keep this house as clean as she made it. If only I could get some motivation and energy to clean and do laundry now. Laundry will get done because I know o need clothes for work tomorrow. 

So I have been family research on the Ancestry . Com website. I have the app for it on my tablet so I use that. And since I got an iPhone I downloaded the app on there so I can use on both now. I kind of gave up on researching the Kirchner side of the family. I repeatedly kept coming to a dead end and it go me nowhere so I decided to move on to other parts of my family tree. I added Jen as my Spouse on there and so now I can research her side of he family tree which I have been doingn. And to be honest it's quite interesting and fun really. Jen is related to General Turner Ashby of the Confederate States of America. I know that because it's on her Grandma Nancy's side of the family but I haven't gotten that far up the family tree yet but I'm close, real close. Nancy also told me that she is related to Robert E Lee also of the CSA. I haven't discovered that yet. But it's obvious that she's related to Turner Ashby because I have a Turner Ashby on he family tree, not the General Turner Ashby but a Turner born after him. And most of them have Turner as their middle name probably named after him. I'm excited to add him to the family tree, I can't wait. I will be researching the Ashby's this evening. Hopefully I can make a connection this evening. I can't remember who I stopped on but I think it was John Ashby. Who if I can remember right has a son named Turner Ashby. I love researching my family history and learning new things. Most but not all of the Census Record tell the person's occupation during that time and the highest grade they completed and if they lived on a farm or not. You can learn so much about a person in your family that you've never even met it's just so interesting to discover everything you never knew. I share my discoveries with Dad and Jen and Mom. My Uncle Larry also is a member of Ancestry and he researches our family too. Sometimes I am able to get information I am missing from Uncle Larry's tree because on there it allows you to connect to a member's tree which is also very helpful sometimes but sometimes it could also be very confusing because sometimes aome people have the wrong information. I know that because the information doesn't make sense or it's just not correct. Not sure where some people get their information from but they should probably correct it because they would get a lot farther in their research if they did so. There used to be an option on there that would let you find out what famous people you are related to but I will be damn if I can find out how to do that again or if I can do it or maybe they took it off the website. Who knows but when I did Ishtar it said I always related to George bus the President, we were distant relatives several times removed. And it also said I was related to Henry Lightfoot Lee which is someone famous, I think he was a Gerlneral or something, I don't know. I've heard his name before from Dad, I think he was in the Military maybe the Civil war or something. And I believe he is related to the Lee's as in Robert E Lee possibly. I don't know though like I said I can't figure out how to find that again or even how I did it the first time because it was so long ago. But I am interested in finding what famous people I am related too so I will not give up in fact I may just email Ancestry and ask them how to do it because I can't find the link. Of course I have been on my Kindle Fire Ancestry App so I may not be able to do it on my tablet and might have to get on my laptop to do it. I think I'm going to email them because I really want to know. The suspense is killing me lol. Well time to hop off here and get on my tablet to do some research. Hopefully the freaking website is working today because yesterday I couldn't crap because the website was down and nothing was working. It was very fray testing for me because that is my hobby, but not only that it's how I occupy my time when I am bored. I hope it's working today so I will have something to do. I could get on Facebook but there's only so much to do on there and sometimes it gets boring on there. With Ancestry I never get bored because there is always something new to do and learn and discover. The possibilities are endless on there. 

We'll, I believe I have written my page for the day. I didn't write anything yesterday because I wasn't in the mood really to write. And I was tired, exhausted and worn out really from the busy day I had at work. I ended up going to bed earlier then I normally do because I was so tired.  I talked to Mom and Dad several times yesterday. Their power went out yesterday too but it finally came back on. Dad had to wake up because he sleeps with a Cpap Machine and we'll since the power went out his machine wasn't working. I be the was tired, he probably went to bed early too. Well Connor is laying on my lap now trying tp get comfortable and wanting me to pet him so I am done writing for the day or at least for now. 

Still Sick

I am so ready for this cold or whatever I have to go away and not come back. I am tired of being sick. I am going to make an appointment at the VA Clinic. I am done wirh being sick already. My nose is stopped up but when I blow it it seems neverending. Its so annoying. Last night I was feeling like crap so I layed on the couch all evening and watched tv as I drifted off to sleep. Last night was Cousin Steve's Family Night but I felt horrible and didn't want to get anyone else sick so I stayed home. I am still feeling like crap. Hopefully the VA will give me some antibiotics to knock this out of me. Jen is still sick too and she's resting on the couch right now. I swept and mopped the house and I gotta take the trash out cos trash runs tomorrow. Jen and I went to Walmart after work and I got my Pumpkin Pie poptarts. I bought 3 boxes of them. Man they are good. But they are seasonal I believe so they won't have them much longer unfortunately. I hope they do but I doubt it. After Walmart Jen and I came home . I gotta start laundry and fold laundry. Always something to do but at least I stay busy. Work in the morning not off until Tuesday and Wednesday. I stayed busy at work today. I sprayed the parking lot and April put our tree and stockings up. Christmas ain't going to be much this year but I am getting everyone at least one thing. And I still need to go shopping for Jen. I am low on funds this year unlike last year. I might have to use the money I have saved for Christmas presents. Oh well, next year will be different.

Thanksgiving Day

Went to work and did paperwork and then helped Peggy clean. Then I decided to check out of dates. I didn't finish because it was time for me to go home. Came home and Jen wasn't home so I took Bella and Cinder outside. I missed the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. Then I gave the dog's water and mopped and swept the kitchen. Now I am sitting outside with the dogs. Next I am going to start laundry because I am so behind on it. Not sure what else the day will be like. I got off at 12 and Jen still hasn't come home but she is at her Grandparents so I understand that she should be with them cos its important to spend time with your family on Thanksgiving. Mom and Dad don't celebrate Thanksgiving. I figured Jen would be home when I got here so we could apend Thanksgiving together. Oh well its all good. I am spending Thanksgiving with my dogs Bella and Cinder. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. Be thankful for everything and everyone you got. Enjoy your day.

Daily Update

Jen and I spent all day and eveninf together because she was off work yesterday. Last night we watched The Biggest Loser and The Voice cos those are two of my favorite shows. Then I headed for bed.

This morning I woke up and let the dogs out and ate breakfast and while I went to take a shower Jen went to Starbucks to get us coffee. I had my usual the Cafe Mocha. And then headed to work.

Today I was on register until ten when Tabitha came in and then I went off and did side work. I stayed busy most of the day.

Now I am off work and at home and Jen is at work so I am outaide with the pups. They are playin in thr yard. I gotta do laundry and clean the house. And take out the trash. Gonna stay busy this evening.

I can't remember if I took my second dose of medicine today. Dang. I am going to have to start setting a reminder on my phone to take my medicine. Grrr.

Nothing exciting

Nothing exciting happened todat. I got up and followed my routine and went off to work. It was another busy day for me and then I came home. Not much to tell really. I may be having writer's block, I don't know, just not much to say. Today was a frustrating day. Its never really exciting when I am working by myself and staying and trying to get everything done. Glad to be home though that is for sure. I am sitting outside on my deck and boy is it nice to sit down when you have been on your feet for eight hours with no break.

Another Busy Day At Work

So I woke up this morning and took the dogs out to pee and I smoked while they ran around in the yard. Then we came in and ate two Pumpkin Pie poptarts. Yes I share with my dogs. We eat Poptarts every morning for breakfast and I drink a bottle of water. Then I took my shower and got dressed and went and started my truck. Sometimes in the morning its hard for me to get motivated. So I got my stuff together and headed to work.

I got to woek and smoked another cigarette before I went in. Stefany was working and I said good morning and got my coffee. I must always have my coffee in the morning. Its like shut up, leave me alone until I have my coffee. Man was the coffee good this morning. Stefany makes good coffee. It seems like everyone's coffee tastes different, its how they make it. I got on register and began my day. It was busy and it was truck day. Tabitha was to come in at 10 so I only had until then to get donations for Operation Christmas Child. Unfortunately I didn't raise what I did yesterday but I was only on register from 7 to 10. I raised nineteen dollars. And Tabitha raised only two dollars and some change. Its all about asking people but a lot people say no which is discouraging. Its all about the kids though, they all should be able to have a Christmas, a happy Christmas. After Tabitha got there I unloaded the cigarettes and snuff and oriced them and tried to stay busy. I was glad when three oclock came.

I came home to my babies Bella and Cinder who were so happy to see me. Jen was at work and still is, she doesn't get off until eleven. I miss her, wish she was at hone with us. I have been cleaning and doing laundy and working on my book. Now its time to watch the news. And I might make something to eat but I am not hungry yet. Time for another bottle of water.

Busy Day

Man what a busy day. I smoked less cos I could barely leave the register. I did the highest in sales I have ever done. Its because our gas is so cheap. I am home now with Bella and Cinder  I love my babies. I am so happy to be home and away from work. It was like a madhouse in there today. Geez. Tomorrow will probably be just as busy.
Now time to start folding laundry. Man my feet hurt. Time to relax after I fold these clothes and put my comfy slippers on.

My day

So I am feeling better than yesterday and more motivated also. Just got home from work and stopped off to get toilet paper and some more Mr Clean. Still gotta go buy the essentials like cat food and dog food and cat liter. So I had a pretty good day at work. Its always better when April is there. I raised $13.29 for Operation Christmas Child today. Not too bad at all but I could have done better. A lot of people are doing it at their church so they say no.

So last night Jen came back home and I was happy to see her. She sat down on my couch next to me. Ahe never really sits on my couch but it was nice to have her sitring next to me. So I held her hand as we talked and it was nice. I love Jen so much and I believe she is the one I was meant to be with. I don't ever say that but I believe it. Her and I relationship reminds me of my parents relationship so that's why it works so well and I want to hang onto it. That is also why I believe she is the one. My parents have a great marriage and love each other dearly as I love Jen the same way and can't imagine being without her. She brightens my day, she is my sunshine. I love her so much. She is sleeping right now cos she has to work. So I will try to be quiet while I am doing housework this evening.

Another Busy Day

So today was extremely busy for a Sunday. Trying to do paperwork and running the register and then do what is on the cleaning list. Which I didn't get much on the cleaning list done because I was too busy doing my Assistant Manager duties. It was so busy which isn't a bad thing but at times it was frustrating running back and forth a million times. We ran out of Juva Roast so the S&D guy better come or I and a lot of customers are not going to be happy. I hate when we run out of my coffee. I don't wanna have to go across the street to get my coffee. I like getting my Shell Fuel Rewards points when I get my coffee. I am up to 30 cents now woohoo. So it was busy at work today. This morning Buddy came in and he played tickets forever but we did a lot in Lottery Sales. I did over 400 dollars in Lottery Payouts. People were all about playing tickets today. I did 17 dollars and 29 cents in donations for Operation Christmas Child and 43 cents in Breast Cancer Donations. They extended the deadline for donations for Breast Cancer until sometime this month. Even though we as a company have already gone over our goal and my store has already gone over our goal of 700 dollars. We have raised over 1300 dollara at my store for Breast Cancer Awareness for the Susan G Komen Foundation of Augusta Blue Ridge.

So Jen is off today and at home with me. She is watching movies on some channel. She just got done watching some movie with Harrison Ford where he was a news anchor. I had never seen that movie before but it was almost over when I started watching it.

Jen and I went to Wendys for dinner. I had a Chilli with cheese and onions. It was good and we stopped at my store and got sweet teas.

Tomorrow is Monday the start of a new week. Its going to be a good week because I am using the power of positive thinking. I have my appointment Wednesday at the Salem Veteran's Hospital to get my Depo Shot. Jen is off that day so she is going with me to my appointment thankfully. Man Friday I had an appointment with Dr Brown and since I was there I decided to get my Flu & Pneumonia shot, one in each arm and now my arms are sore. Or maybe its my muscles that are sore I don't know but they hurt.

Came home and Bella and Cinder were happy to see me as they ran up to me and gave me kisses. I missed my babies while I was at work. I hate leaving them but they know I have to go to work so I can buy them bones lol.

So I haven't done any housework yet since I have been home but I think all I am going to do this evening is laundry cos I don't really feel like doing much else since I had such a busy day at work. Think I am going to just relax this evening

So last night after I mopped the living room I happened to look down at my phone and notice April was calling. I had 5 missed calls all from April and Tabitha and Jen. My.volume was down low so I never heard my phone ring. I had just taken my Risperdol and was about to put my pajamas on and go to bed. April calls and says the register is down and Tabitha needs me to come to the store. I am the closest one to the store so I went into work. I get there and Tabitha was kinda freaked out she had a very strange customer that kept standing there staring at her even after she told him that the register was down. She said 2 little girls came in and was paying for gas and they somehow messed up the Debit Credit Pinpad which caused an error on the computer. So I was down on the floor messing with the cords and trying to find the end of the cord for the pinpad and followed the cord all the way down only to get to the end of the cord where it was hooked up and realized that unplugging that probably wasn't going to help but I unplugged it anyway and it didn't reset it like I had hoped it would. So then I decided to try alt control delete and that didn't bring up the Task Manager so I decided to restart the computer. Doing that made all the pumps go down but thankfully no customers were on the pumps. So while the register was restarting I realized the cord in the back of the pinpad came out so I unplugged that and the pinpad restarted and then the register restarted and came back up and everything was fixed. So it was only two things that I had to do thankfully but it took me some time to troubleshoot the problem. But thankfully it all got fixed and everything was okay. So I went home after that and I reset the time on my alarm clock and the alarm on the clock just in case the time on my phone didn't reset itself which it did. And I woke up before the alarm clock went off anyway cos the alarm on my phone went off before the alarm clock did.

I woke up and let the dogs out this morning amd ate a Pumpkin Pie Poptart and then took my shower and headed to work for another busy day. Yesterday was busy too.

Work & Goodnight

gonna enjoy this extra hour of sleep since I had to go into work and fix the register since it was down. I had just taken my pill and was about to put on my pajamas. Apparently a child messed up the pinpad which caused an error on the computer. But thankfully I fixed it, glad I am somewhat of a computer nerd. I learned from my daddy, he used to fix computers and build them. Well I am going to sleep, goodnight everyone.

Busy day

Had a busy day at work. Didn't get hardly anything done cos I was so busy. I did over $3000 in sales which is a good day. Didn't do too well on Operation Christmas Child which is the charity we are raising money for this month but hopefully I will do better tomorrow. The dogs are happy now that.they have bones. Cinder wouldn't let her bone go while she was using the bathroom lmao. She was peeing with the bone in her mouth. And she is carrying it everywhere lmao.
Tennessee Vols play at 7 so I am gonna watch the game but I also have laundry to do. I had errands to run but I wanted to come home to my dogs instead.

So Cheryl saved the day today. I couldn't stop going to the bathroom and Cheryl stopped by so I asked her to go get me aome Imdoium and she went to Food Lion for me. I took one and that helped. I had asked Jen to bring me some but ahe must not have gotten my messages. Thanks to Cheryl though she saved me while I was at work.

Work

So last night wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but I was stilk running on no sleep. I am going to go to sleep until my apoointment. I will take a power nap as April suggested. Hopefully that won't screw up my sleep schedule.

Bored

Man this is a boring shift cos I have had hardly any customers. But on the up side I have gotten lots done. Man I am ready to go home and go to sleep. I am beyond exhausted and running on no sleep at all. Hopefully the rest of my shift goes by fast.

Hot & windy

Man I got hot and had to turn on the air conditioner. It was 80 degrees in here shew I was sweatin. The paper box outside got knocked over by the wind and that thing is heavy.

Sleep didn't happen

So sleep didn't happen. I have been laying in bed since 2 something and couldn't sleep. I just layed there. Sleep seems like it ain't gonna happen for me. My body is used to be awake not asleep. I can't make myself go to sleep cos I tried that and it didn't work. So I am probably gonna be tired as shit at work cos I am used to being asleep then but oh well that's life. Life and people fuck you over one way or the other. Maybe next time I am sick I will go get a doctor's note and inconvience people. No I woulsn't do April like that but some people don't care. Anyways I am grouchy and bitchy and well taking my Bipolar and Schizo meds tonight are out of the question cos I will fall asleep at work. Ok I am done whining now. But I am still pissed off.

Sleep and work

Mom and Dad should be calling soon. I haven't told them yet that I have to work third shift tomorrow. I don't know wether to stay up tonight or go to sleep. I hate when my sleep schedule gets screwed up. Oh well I am dedicated to my job. Yes I am bitching a lot about having to work third shift but at least I will work it instead of getting a doctor's note saying I can't work like some people.

Cleaning & Coffee

So I have yet to start cleaning. I gaven't gotten motivated to clean yet but I am motivated to write. That's how it works out though. Need to finish my.coffee and make some more. Might have to go get aome Pumpkin Pie Spice Creamer from Food Lion since I left mine at Mom and Dad's. I will have to get mine from there house Friday. I will be drinking coffee all day. That will help motivate me to clean maybe. Or it will help motivate me to continue to write. Either way sometime this house needs to be cleaned today and today is probably the only day I will have to do it or the only day I will feel like doing it. I am going to ne tired Friday but I have to stay on top of my meds and on the right schedule. But I won't be able to take my meds Thursday night since I have to work. My Risperdal makes me fall asleep so I can't take that Thursday night since I will be at work. Oh well its all good. Hopefully one night without my meds will be okay.

Work

Well my Thursday will be ruined so much for dressing up on Halloween at work cos I have to work third shift. And Halloween will only last 1 hour on my shift. Here I was excited about dressing up in my Spider-Man costume. Some people just have to ruin things for ya. Some.people shouldn't have a job cos they son't ever wanna fuckin work anyway. Guess some people think they go into work and get paid for not doing anything and think they can keep they're job and not have to work. Friday I am off and that day will be ruined too since I won't get off Friday morning until 7am. And I won't be able to go to sleep cos I have a doctor's appointment and then I gotta go pay bills. I will be going to bed early Friday night that's for sure because I can't let my sleep schedule get screwed up cos then I will be all messed up for days. So after work I will probably just stay up. Its going to be hard trying to sleep all day tomorrow when i am used to being awake. I see I won't be getting much sleep. But its not April's fault, its because we have some employees that don't care about others or the bind that they will put our store in. Some people are selfish. When I am sick I still go into work. I have only called into work one time since I been there. And I have been there since July 2011. Other people have called in too many times to count.

Randomness

The wifi on my back porch is being sketchy. I am going to have to check the antenna on the router. Grr.

So one of my coworkers has an upper respiratory infection. I am so not trying to get sick so I am glad she won't be at work. I am trying to avoid getting sick this year. Jen has already gotten sick. She has or still has Pneumonia.

So Saturday Tennessee lost to Alabama 45 to 10. Of course Alabama is ranked #1 I believe. And Virginia Tech lost to Duke but I don't remember the score. Tennessee plays Missouri this Saturday so I will be able to watch the game cos it comes on at 7 dad said.
