Other than Mexican food, which I could eat everyday of the week, I also really, really love greek food. We have a local Greek Festival that’s going on and Tom & I go every year to get Gyro’s, greek donuts, and baklava. There are a ton of places around us that sell Gyro’s all the time and surprisingly the best ones (out of the 10+ places I’ve had them from locally) come from a gas station.
I really don’t have much to post about during the summer months because not much is going on. Its kind of strange to think of not going back to school at the end of August. I know the next step in life is to get a ‘real’ job, but it’s so terrifying to think of that. I have no idea how to even begin looking for jobs, what about if I can’t find anything around me? How do I go about applying for jobs in other states? It’s just so much stress to think of moving up in life. I’m one of those people that want to know and have everything planned out. I scout out bathrooms as soon as I enter a restaurant so I know where to go, I google what to except when going through airport security, I am not a go with the flow type of person.
So far, it’s only 2:00 in the afternoon and its already been a pretty crappy day. I called my parents house this morning to talk to my dad about fixing something for me, and he told me my mom got the call that her job has been eliminated. Which is a nice way of saying that she no longer has a job. I immediately started crying because my mom has worked at the same company for longer than I’ve been alive (over 23 years) and they just let her go? I know it’s happening all over the country, which I suppose is a little bit of comfort that other people are going through the same thing. But still, to my family? My hard working mother who was so dedicated to her job? The bad part is that my dad works at the same place, which luckily he’s in a union so his job has a little bit more protection, but still.
Then, my family decided its time to put my grandparents (who have both now passed away) dog to sleep on Wednesday. He’s about 15 years old and has lived probably a few years more than he should have.
I work tonight for a few hours, but luckily my job is so mind numbingly boring it shouldn’t be too bad standing there for a few hours.
Having two puppies has pretty much been consuming all of my time lately. Everyone said that it would be a lot of work, and it is, but its not nearly as bad as I was expecting. I thought for sure that I would be a cat person for life but after having dogs, I’m torn. They are so smart too, we are teaching them both obedience and field signals for things such as laying, sitting, staying, and coming. Crate training them has been a piece of cake and really there wasn’t much training involved with that at all. The only negative is the cost! We feed them holistic all natural food which is comparable to what we spend on food for us in a month.
Other than that, I’ve been keeping busy with work. By work, I mean standing in a dead department store for several hours and helping the occasional customer pick out an outfit for their child. At least it’s money though, right?
