I love this season. It is my favorite. However.. I feel like I cant enjoy it as much cause so many other things
aren't going my way. I lost my job last Friday, due to the position being eliminated. I
wasn't happy at the job anyways.. but it's never fun to lose a job with nothing else lined up already. I've spent the last week searching, applying, hoping for ANY job to come along. I'm not being picky right now! I just want anything that will put some money in my pocket. Hopefully I hear back from at least some of the 30 jobs I've applied for in the past week.
On another note, I dropped my laptop a few nights ago, on the hard wood floor.. three steps forward and I would have been in the carpeted bedroom.. but nope.. it hit hard wood. It hit the floor and I screamed an obscenity, picked it up, put the battery back in and it booted right up! Thank goodness.. however when the screen lit up I saw the damage. My LCD is a little messy looking in the right hard corner. It has gotten a little better over time, but it is still ugly. At least the computer still works and I can see everything on the screen. Then on Sunday morning my external hard drive decided that it
doesn't want to work anymore.. it keeps telling me that I need to format it to fix the partition.
WTH??.. I will not format my 800 gigs of personal photos, my whole music library, and hundreds of movies! I have the product replacement on it, so I need to find someone that can take all the info off of it, and transfer it to a new hard drive. This is all stuff that I
don't really have the funds to get fixed right away. Yikes!
Mine and Richie's birthdays were last week, he is 29 now, and I am 24. I really cant believe I'm 24 already! It was also our
4 Year Anniversary. It was really hard not to be able to be with him for all of these special days. We've never been apart for them. This whole "him being away for months at a time" is such a learning experience. It has made our relationship so much stronger.. but it is the hardest thing for both of us to handle! We are each others best friend, and we would spend every waking moment together if we could. We cant wait until he gets to pack up all of his stuff from the barracks and bring it all home, to our house, so that we can get on with being a normal couple with a normal life and work schedule. November 7
th is the tentative date that he will be getting to come home. So a little less than a month left until we are back in each others arms for good! I cant wait! I miss him
sooo much!
Yesterday my sister, her bf Nate, my nephew
Aizik, and
Nate's friend Scott all went for a little hike down to the fork of the American River. It was such a beautiful day. Not to hot, but sunshine all day. It was a pretty steep hike down.. so I knew coming up was going to be much harder! :) Once we got down closer to the water, there were swarms of bugs.. it
wasn't until I noticed what kind of bugs they were that I was relieved.
Lady Bugs.. hundreds.. thousands of them! It was so neat! I wish I would have taken my camera.. but I always seem to forget it when I should have had it, and I have it when there
aren't really any photo ops,
figures. We all had lady bugs crawling all over us. In our hair, on our arms, shirts, legs. It was so crazy, kind of creepy at times.. but really neat! I had never seen that many in one place before! I hope they are still there tomorrow. I want to take Rich over there and show him. He's coming home tonight for a few days! I cant wait to see him!!
Not much else is going on around here. Just trying to stay positive and
optimistic.
PS - I cant wait for Thanksgiving! My sister Shannon, and nephew Eli are coming to see us! I miss them soo much!! Plus I love Thanksgiving food! YUM!
