This is my friend Jennie's son Skyler who is a total doll as you can tell from this picture.Just wanted to jot down a couple things before I run off to work. I've spent my morning so far writing up bills for customers and balancing the checking acct. Fun stuff. I got my desk at work finally yesterday. That was fabulous. I know it sounds silly, but I have been working in very small space for about three months now. We are done with training for the most part so they assigned us our spots after a very long wait. I like where I sit, its near the windows. I will probably freeze during the winter. I will have to bring a blanket in. Work is going well otherwise. I'm getting the hang of it and learning where to look for stuff. It takes time, but I think in a few more months I will feel very strong about it.
I just read this great book called Girlbomb by JaniceErlbaum. Its about a young girl growing up in New York City during the 80's. She runsaway from home to live in a shelter because her stepdad is very abusive. The story chronicles her time there and what follows after until she's about 19yrs old. Very interesting story full of sex, drugs and rock and roll. She's not a particularly nice girl but seems to get it together in the end. I love stories like this that are so real to life. I mean most people don't just go to high school, attend prom and go off to college unscaythed. If you do, you're pretty lucky. Anyway, its definately worth the read.
Kipp is having some trouble again with his depression. It seems to be taking over alot lately. He had a better day yesterday but for the past couple weeks he's been low down. I finally had to say something cause it was driving me crazy. I want him to seek some counseling of some sort with a professional who knows how to manage depression better than a family doctor would. He said he would so I will wait and see. It feels like his illness is taking over our life right now. I have had to distance myself from it somewhat so that I don't get sucked in. Been trying to spend a little more time on my own doing the things I like to do. Usually I get caught up in holding his hand trying to comfort him or make a difference. I've kind of decided thats an enabling behavior on my part and I need to stop doing it. So, there it is once again.
Jennie is coming by with Skyler tonight. We are going to eat and drink a couple beers, maybe watch a movie or something. It was suppose to be a few of us, but we are having a party after work tomorrow for our graduation so most people wanted to hold out for that. Thats okay with me cause I have a party here on Sat. for Dan's graduation too.. God I need to figure out what kind of food to have. Not sure exactly how many people are coming but I need to feed them when they get here. I'm too busy right now. I am going to have to stay up cleaning on Friday night to make sure I'm ready since I will have to go to Costco on Sat. morning. Anyway, got to run off and get ready to go now. Later
