Tolerable

 My title posts have not been much, lately.

Thank you God, Jesus, for everything written.

I'd have to think for a minute if I want to remember the major events of the past couple weeks.

This thing of working with Jesus (Hey - Suse) is getting better, if 'better' means I'm being more tolerable and accepting. 

I did wind up talking to Lindy about it and she said she'll talk and see if it's at least related to any illness. She told me to mentally track his bathroom trips and I did, and it didn't go any different than expected.

So I told her that later.

Else:

  • I've been continuing working on my princess crochet collection.
  • The spaghetti dinner at church went amazing and the kids had a blast. I took videos and photos.
  • I've been working a LOT and casually doing cardio at the gym when I'm able.
  • I bought the NLT Illustrated Study Bible and I'm already getting some use out of it.
  • Bought bug traps and they've made live easier.
  • Fleas are worse. Despite major efforts. We are too poor for flea meds.
  • I made a Groot out of rafia yarn and a Duck in a Basket (took longer than expected) and I gave it to Harmony.
  • Laundromat trips. Our washer is still busted.
Speaking of Harmony, I was having major cabin fever (extreme boredom) and all but begged to be driven to go somewhere, and I invited Harmony with me (sneaking her lest the other children are jealous.) 

I took $80 from 'Emergency Savings' (yeah, totally not an emergency) and $20 of it went to Maranda for gas...a bit in excess since we only wound up about 20 minutes away. But you might pay the same for a Lyft trip.

Harmony and I had Olive Garden. At first we didn't get a waitress, but after telling someone, they came along. We had a great time. 

The last time I went I brought only Aaliyah so...I tried to cheap out and go for the two endless soup, salad, and breadsticks deal...[$12 each] plus two refillable drinks. ($33 total) but I impulsively tipped (I almost felt rounding up to $40 was too short to tip, but I didn't have the heart to break a twenty) and so the meal totaled out to $60 total (including a $27 tip.) The waitress was pretty surprised. She was very good at her job and very pleasant though.

All cash gone, but I was determined to go to the movies. Time for the credit card.

We went to see the Stitch movie with only two small sodas and a medium popcorn. ($50 total for only two people. Yikes. And on credit, to boot.) Memories, though. The movie was great. I didn't seem offended by it, and I'd rate it better than the original.

Days later, payday came early and my full credit card bill (A total of $92, a lot for me) was paid off. In perspective, on a very, very good pay period I'll make $1,000 in a month. Or about $500 per check.

Also, without a bank to break down large denominations, I have to get crafty with many small-purchse self-checkout intrigues to get smaller bills....at a price.

This past Tuesday was also with Jesus (Hey-Suse) [as previous] and like I said, there's at least progress in my toleration. Acceptance that this is just the norm, it's not really changing, and so we gotta suck it up, buttercup. I'm past being surprised.

One day this is all this complaining over something so minor is gonna read as ridiculous to me.

Anyway. I took comfort in saying this would be a slow day (Tuesdays usually are but...nope.) It was as busy as any Saturday. I was wiped. Days leading up to 4th of July.

Work last night with Bernard was good.

I made a plushie kitty for Zoey who is turning 8, I believe. The thing took 4-5 hours but it's worth it.

All glory, praise, thanks and all things be to God on the highest forever and ever. P.S. I love you and Jesus does, too.

Ugh.

 Last night was not easy. I'll back up a bit, though. My boss not only approved my Saturday off, but she switched it to Friday morning (without me having to open the store) and offered me to come in yesterday from 5-9:45 p.m. which I did. I worked with Chris and twas' all good.  Last night I came home and finished up a crocheted doll I was working on. I got bit by a large ant that crept in and went in my pants (I had to get the pants off to find it) and several other ants after that, and a heinous large winged bug thing...whose species I'd never seen before. I recently got a handheld bug zapper and that thing worked like a beauty. I went to bed in Mom's RV around midnight with Bella. I didn't feel like dealing with bugs in my house tonight. My overactive bladder rode me to death, of course. You could sooner throw a parade than have me go one hour without the bathroom. I tried listening to bible movies and 4 a.m. came and I barely slept.  I went home and tried to sle...

It Hasn't Been An Okay Week

Image
The other day I started my day by confessing, for the first time, my long history of abuse to a family member. Including from my aunt, God rest her soul. Brought us, back, a few bad memories. I had very few good memories of her, but she asked my forgiveness when she clearly knew she was dying, and I readily gave it. I saved over 500 new family photos, memories and a few ancestors. Even the family tree Jen out together. Below is one I found of a bunch of animals. The past week it seems I've been looking for many chances to go out and spend up my savings on stuff I don't need, despite a short pay period this month.  I went from 300 to 222 dollars. Some necessary...some not.  Last night I did something that could get me fired. I left the cash register drawer out on the legacy desk, (so awful I hesitated to write it)  We weren't closed, and though I kept it within a few feet of me, I put it down to go make a purchase at the register with Kelsey.  I felt so very horrible ...
