Just thinking about a few things

Compared to a few months ago, my situation has improved. I'm not homeless, I have a job, I have an income, I can plan and hope again.

I have managed to gain a little weight and feel a bit better. There is a sense of hope and freedom due to the money coming in. I miss Puddy and cry almost every day. I'm still undecided about the SNL situation - whether to watch the show or just accept what has been.

It is too early yet...but I have been thinking of how to approach repairing some of the damage and balancing that with finally giving myself some niceties...perhaps a keyboard to play. I should invest in a small/basic computer, maybe a basic tv for my room. It's too soon. For now, food is good, being able to pay rent and buy necessities.

It is coming together.

It was Hot and Muggy

Ok, today was ok, even got a ride home and arrived at 5:00 p.m.
There was one problem. I guess with the doors closed I got hit by varnish fumes around lunchtime and it left me with vision probs and feeling kindof drunk. I have sensitivities to some chemicals, been ok for years, and I don't want to lose my job over it. So, let's hope it was just a bad combo day.

I have been concerned about Owen Wilson and his "suic. attempt". He's a real sweetie and was kind to me. Hope you are well Owen and things get better.

It's Tuesday

Hello, Hello

At work. Was just playing with my Janet-Puddy Avatar.
Stomach a bit off but I'll live. Note to self: Take your lactose pill.

Lazy, quiet weekend

Has a nice talk with Paul yesterday. Haven't done much else.
Just taking it easy and prepping for the work week.

Friday - What a Gorgeous Day!

Wow, the weather turned out great - keep calling for rainstorms.

I am looking forward to the weekend.
Next week I go full-time. I like the people here.
I am starting to plan things to do - take yoga classes, what to do with my income.
So, I am feeling almost human again.

A Day Off!

Ok, I got the option to take today off and I am so glad I did.
Starting work is tiring, lots to learn, and adjusting to schedule.
I've been tired and this is a good thing to catch up on a little me time.

The TADOO list (laugh):

• Got rid of the spam in Canada.com account
• Looking into YOGA classes on Torbram, $15 a class; joined e-mail list
• Ate a DOUBLE WHOPPER - need the fat!
• Bought another work top and the 50% off sale is a week on Tuesday (Sept 4th)
• Talked with Paul, my bud, mostly about pets. He leaves on Sept. 3rd for University (UT)

I feel great! Stay tuned.

IT'S MY JOB!!!

I just got hired full-time, Baby!!! Yes!!!

Woo woo!!! Yep, my part-time job is now full-time. Me happy.

Another Week!

Had work today and asked back tomorrow!

I'm glad. Tomorrow marks the 3 month date of Puddy's death. I don't want to be alone. Last night I had a crying fit and another minor one on the way home tonight. So, at least I have work.

It's great. The people are nice. It's quiet and I noticed today that the phone doesn't ring much - which after years of office work it a GODSEND. The time passes fast and the work is steady without too much rush. I'm also learning a lot about accounting. Before it had been in bits and pieces, but now I am starting to see how it all fits together.

Love to Puds. YYYYYYYYYYYYY

Finished my first full week!

I made it, in one piece and never late.

That's one full week under my belt.

Man I'm Tired

Ok, that's four days under my belt and one more to go...even better tomorrow is payday!!!!

I'm at Work!

Just worked 3 days (inclusive) - checking out my e-mails, etc. from here.
Things going great!

Got asked to come back tomorrow. That's four days in a row plus Friday. Supposed to be a part-time job doing 3 days. I guess they like me. I like them too.

Oh man, found a hair from Puddy today on my black pants...tears. She's with me. I love you Puds.

So Far So Good!

Things are going well!

Started work last week. Great people. Nice, simple job. No hassles!
Had an ok weekend, just adjusting my schedule.
I worked today (Monday) and the next two days, plus Friday.
Not too shabby.
I still weep at times over Puds, mostly as I'm commuting. It will get easier. She's out of pain, that's what I concentrate on. Her death and others have answered some questions too.
Had a great dinner (made it myself).
Paul, my bud should be back tomorrow after being away 9 days. Went to check on him by the pool but he must still be off.
Later!

Oh, and I am totally in love with the movie "The Illusionist". I've watched it a couple of times and am searching around YouTube.

Day Four

Today was my first day at work. It went well and I feel MUCH better.

Just noticed the Space Shuttle Endeavor went up today. Hmmm.

Anyway, now I have a day off tomorrow to sort a few things out - without guilt. And, then back to work on Friday. Phew!

Day Three

I got a job!!!! Finally!!!!

And, on the way there I saw the birthday girl.
Again, Happy 74th.

Day Two

I called and wished her a happy birthday!

Have an interview tomorrow and looking forward to it.

It was quiet...being a holiday today.

Day One

Happy Birthday - tomorrow to a special person.

Been getting out and swimming with my buddy Paul. Going for walks.

Thinking of the Pudster.
