Happenstance
When I hit post on my last entry in 2016, I had no idea what lie in wait for me. For all of us. I was very satisfied with Target and, still enjoying the high that the ego boost of having moved to, lived in, and departed San Diego all on my own gave me a year prior, and bolstered by the fact that I had lost all the weight I wanted and felt ( Read more... ) -
The Dakotas
On Thursday afternoon I hit my hand very hard on my desk. Hard enough where I thought my hand was broken. It was not- but it hurt so badly I wanted to get an x-ray. I didn't. I couldn't pick anything up or hold anything heavier than a piece of paper. I couldn't even get dressed fully without help. Saturday morning it felt better but still hurt ( Read more... ) -
Home
Leaving in the morning. To roll in sometime on Monday evening. I'm shaving a day off this time around. Bringing the guinea pigs with me but will more than likely re-home them once I settle in, and also once the female has delivered. She's halfway through the pregnancy today, 5 weeks. Five more to go. She's big already, so I'm betting there's ( Read more... ) -
The Plan As Of Now
I'll Hopefully take my truck in this week to have it fixed just enough to make it home safely (it probably could make it without being looked at but I don't want to take the risk and then have it die somewhere in the panhandle of Oklahoma ( Read more... ) -
Home
Coming home. Not sure exactly when or how I'm going to pull it off since I'm out of money and do not have an income but I actually can't stand being in California anymore. I am too sad here. My cousin is almost completely indifferent to my presence and hasn't spoken a single word to me in nearly 3 days. I know deep down that he wouldn't care if ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Well I've in California for just over 2 months now. I was granted power of attorney and did all the paper signing for the new apartment and also dealt with the movers and basically everything while my cousin was underway. I stood in when the people came to set up the internet and when the maintenance guy came to look at and then install a new ( Read more... ) -
Just the Facts
This is my second day in California and so far, uneventful WOULD be my word of choice to describe it but that would be an insult to the word. I have been so stir crazy and bored I've been wondering if I made the mistake of century. This is NOT my idea of fun. I could/would just drive somewhere and get some supplies but my truck's front left ( Read more... ) -
Stuff (nothing useful)
In good old "me" fashion, I've gone a head and decided to learn another language in the midst of probably the most important decision I've made in my life at this point. The language is French. The first word I learned in French (besides c'est la vie and oui and all those other words and phrases that Americans just seem to "know") was bison... ( Read more... ) -
Going Again
Looks like things are moving again. I'm now waiting to hear back from the store I've picked out. It's a 24 hour store and I so am not interested in overnights so I hope they don't tell that's all they have... My first choice store turned out to be a waste of time. The guy that answered the phone sounded awesome and upbeat but the store manager ( Read more... ) -
Tomorrow (What are you waiting for?)
Well... I'm calling the stores tomorrow. It will decide if I continue working with the company I've been with for the last 7.5 years. After tomorrow I'll know the date I depart (give or take 1 week) Minnesota for California without so much as a mattress, table, or dish. It's very much a "the clothes on my back and records in a grocery bag" kind ( Read more... )
