General Update

Sweetie escaped! lol She ran right out the door and took off. Can't say that I blame her. She has been trapped inside for almost two weeks now, and that's a big change for a cat that lived outside for three years previously. But she knows where her home is and she is back already. She is almost totally recovered. She is still on anti biotics (till they are gone) and she still has to wear the eCollar when she tries to lick her foot too much. But she is back to her normal self. She is totally Selo's cat. She hears him coming and she runs to him. He loves her too, and loves it when she curls up on his lap. lol It's so cute.

We moved our front room around today. We were given two tables (thank you, Sister Miller), so we moved our couch and entertainment center around. And we cleaned every corner of the room too. It looks great! We now have TV too, because we moved the TV to the other wall and the cord reaches. Not that we will watch very much TV, but it will be nice to have the news. AND we got to use our new vacuum. Our old one broke last week, so we bought it with one of the gift cards we got for our wedding. It's so easy! It's an awesome vacuum, and it has a really good filter on it. Selo has allergies, so it was really nice to get all that dust and dirt out of the air and the carpet!

I got a shift bid at work! A shift bid is where a shift at work comes open, and you can "bid" on it, according to your numbers as an employee. And I won! Not only did this make me feel good (because I outbid so many people, that means I am doing really well in the company) but it also means I get a better schedule. Starting in June, I will be working M-F again. This means Selo and I will be working almost the same shift- which he has been begging me to do for a while. And I finally got it! Yay!

I will be going back to school soon too. We don't know exactly when, but we have some good plans. I have been doing a lot of research on grants and student aide, and it looks like I will be able to go to school for free. Meaning I won't have to pay for it right now OR pay back any loans. There are SO MANY grants out there just waiting to be used, I have no doubt that I can get help with it. I will be meeting with an administrator at the college soon to talk about it (and start with a FAFSA form), and to get a plan of action for my schooling. I really look forward to it, and Selo is almost as excited as I am.

Well I reached out to four more people today. I have been trying to reconnect with some old friends, and sometimes make up for some of the things in my past. Most of it has gone very well. I guess it goes to show that taking responsibility for my actions and apologizing CAN make a difference. I have only had resistance from one person. I am still talking things out with this one other person, but I even if she doesn't let go of the grudge, I can say I did my best.

Well I am off to play FFXI with my husband. I sure love him *happy sigh*
