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.

Done cleaning

Mopped and swept the floor. Dad called in the middle of me mopping the living room floor to tell me the game was on ESPN. So I got done mopping and turned it on. But I am outside with the dogs cos I needed a cigarette after all that mopping and sweeping. I was sweating up a storm thankfully the fan was on. Shew what a workout.
So it appears Jen is having a rough day cos of her Facebook Statuses. She is at work and having alone of those days where ya don't want to get out bed. Poor baby, wish she was at home with me because then her day would be better.

Better Day

So today was a better day then Thursday and Friday. Lack of aleep made those days horrible. But I slept last night and went to bed early and slept good. Jen fell asleep on the couch, I woke her up to go to bed but she disn't wake up. I noticed she later came in there cos she was next to me. Man when my alarm went off this morning I didn't want to get up, I just wanted to keep sleeping. Especially since I had been awake from Thursday morning to Friday night without sleep. I don't wanna do that again at all.

Getting ready to mop and sweep the house. Trying to stay motivated to clean my house while Jen is at work and I am bored without her here.

The Notre Dame game was on it just went off I don't know who won cos I wasn't paying that much attention to it. Tennessee game should be coming on and I still haven't checked to see what channel its coming on. I think I might check the guide or call dad and ask him.

Laundry & Cleaning

Started a load of laundry and folded one load. Cinder spilt my Coffee all over the floor so now I gotta mop. Had the mop bucket ready but decided to go to my store to get a refill on my Juva Roast. More refills equals more Shell Fuel Rewards points. I am up to 25 cents now, hey its a start. I want to get my card up to what Ray gets his which is normally in the 3 dollar range. I have never gotten mine up that high. I think the highest amount I have had is about 95 cents. I get free drinks while I am working or I would have a ton of points.

Sitting here with Bella and Cinder and they are chewing on their bones. I think I scared Tabitha when I went into the store. She was changing the trash in the bathroom when I walked in.

So the game is about to come on in a little while. Go Tennessee Vols. Dad will probably be watching it. I don't even know what channel it comes on probably should check before it comes on.

DWP: Writing

Daily Word Prompt: Writing

For me writing is a way to escape into a whole another world. I can get my thoughts out instead of keeping them bottled up inside. I started writing when I was a kid. When I was in elementary school I won a writing contest and they hung up my poem in the cafeteria for all to see. I felt special and important. Over the years I have won Poet Of The Month through Poetry.com which is a great site through the International Poetry Society which I belong too. I am a poet and have written so many poems over the years, too many to count. I love poetry because it is a great way to express yourself in words. If you go online on The Web Poetry Corner a lot of my poems are on there. When I was a kid I used to write stories, stories which I don't think really had a genre. I used to write about everything. Guess in my writing you could see what a grotesque dark mind I had even as a child. That comes from being bipolar and a schizophrenic I guess. I wasn't diagnosed with it until I was in the Army in 2005 in my adulthood. Back then I had never been diagnosed with it and it was never mentioned that I had it. But when I look back I can see that I had it but at that time I didn't know what bipolar or schizophrenia was. I grew up an ADHD child with behaviorial problems. Just ask my parents they will tell you what a trouble child I was. I gave them a world of problems even though I didn't mean too.
I had a learning disability and was in Special Education classes from Elementary School to High School. And yes I got made fun of for being in special ed classes. Yes life growing up was tough and I got bullied plenty. And the bullying got worse when I became a teenager because when I was 14 I came out as a lesbian and the taunting and harsh words followed. Dyke was everyone's favorite harsh word to call me. I got used to the bullying but really should anyone get used to that? I don't think so. Well I had a best friend Jennifer Wimer who was always there for me and she didn't care if I was a lesbian, she was still my friend regardless. She always took up for me and when someone made a conment she always had something to say. And she always said she was my girlfriend and she would kick their ass when someone made a rude comment. She was a good best friend but we lost touch over the years. I saw her a couple months ago when she came into my work and she told me where she was working so I should go see her. Jennifer was gothic and always painted her face similar to the group ICP and she had lots of piercings and wore a ton of necklaces. And she dressed in all black of course and dressed differently then others. She also got picked on and made fun of because of her looks but I always took up for her and didn't care what anyone said and I didn't care what ahe looked like. I wasn't her friend for her looka we got along and she had a great peraonality. She would tell people to kiss her ass when they made a comment. She was ready to fight when someone had something mean to say. She never got in any fights that I know of but she was ready if the occassion would arise. We were like two peas in a pod always hanging out and doing stuff together and talking on the phone. Funny thing is that she started off by being my sister's friend and then we started hanging out and we got along together better than her and my sister did. Jennifer and I had more in common then my sister Donica and her. So it was only natural that we clicked. We used to walk home from school together cos we lived in the subdivision behind the schools. There was normally a group of us that walked home together almost every day. One day when I was a senior in high school I was walking home by myself, I don't remember where everyone else was. Well I was walking home and this car was coming in my direction and passed me. Apparently they wanted to do a Uturn and I was passing a dead end road and they did a uturn in the intersection of that road and hit me from behind with their car. I remember the car was on top of me and I had to crawl out from under it. When they hit me it slammed me to the ground and my knees hit with a thud so hard against the ground. After I crawled out from under it they said are you ok without getting ever getting out of the vehicle and before I even had time to respond they drove off without evening checking to see if I was okay or if I was hurt. I had on brand new jeans Mom had bought me and the accident had ripped the knees out of my jeans. And my knees were all bloody. No one stopped they just kept driving by but one. Kim Martin and her boyfriend Boots were coming home from school and saw it apparently. They stopped and asked if I was ok and if I wanted a ride. I don't even remember what I said because I was in tears but I ended up walking home. Mom happened to be off work that day cos I think Donica had an appointment. When I got home I immediately called Jennifer my best friend and her dad brought her to my house. When she got there she was freaking out and asking me if I was okay and she was pissed that they drove off. And her dad was concerned also and offered to take me to the hospital. But about that time mom and donica pulled up and I told mom what happened and she called the police. A State Police Officer came to the house and took my statement. It ended up being in the paper as a hit and run which no one ever came forward about it. I received over $1000 from our insurance and I don't even know what I spent the money on but my jeans got replaced. Mom had to take a picture of them and send it to the insurance company. Karen my other best friend wasn't with me because she had already graduated from high school so that is why she wasn't with me. I can laugh about it now but at the same time its not really funny because I could have died or been hurt really bad.
But back to writing, it is a way to release what I am thinking inside. And I like to think about the past and keep the memories alive. I don't like forgetting things even though I can't remember some things. Grandpa Collins talks about the past too for the same reason. Its good to keep the memories alive. Wiriting can take you to places you've never been before and the possibilties are endless.
I haven't written any stories in a long time though. Probably not since I was a teenager really. I used to write down what my characters names were and info about them and then I would start writing the story from that point on.
Do you remember in school how we used to use the bubbles when writing. I used to love using the bubbles because I could come up so much stuff. And when I did the bubbles I had so many branched out.

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.
