Hey. Thought I might update you. I've now been working at Michael's for two weeks-ish. You know I have time conception issues soooo...yeay. That's fun. I am enjoying it a lot!! I am a cashier and it's not hard at all. just gets a little overwhelming a few times. When there's lots of people in line, or a person (or more) has lots of items to purchase. But once the purchase is finished, I calm right down and move on. So that's not bad.
I bet I'll work on Black Friday. That's a ways out, but...still...
I work up to 5 hours per day, so it's not horrible in any way. Everyone there is so kind and helpful. I do work 3-5 days so that's a lil bit annoying, but...eh. I live. My job coach still hangs out there and she will for a bit more, but I am doing really well.
I found some things I want! weeee!! of course I did.

Last time my sister was in town, she bought me an early bday gift. It is a mini dollhouse kit. I AM HAVING SUCH A BLAST!!! I love the tiny things!!!! ahhhhhh!!! It's by Rolife and called Cathy's Flower House. At that point, I forgot that I had just gotten a job at a craft store so erg.

Now hubby's going thru major major depression. and leg pain. So that's evil. My stepmom makes it harder by micromanaging every single bit of OUR money. He wants her to be murdered. I'm not happy either, but man I don't want that. Dad and she think they're making our lives easier. They're not. They pay for big stuff like the house and bills. We pay for smaller stuff like phone bill. We earn up our own money to go places and buy things. but the micromanaging is just killing us. We can't deal w it at all anymore!! it's terrible you guys. so hubby's just dealing w that and it's very hard for him. I'm learning that he really doesn't react to pressure well.
Also broken promises are a thing. At our wedding, ALL of my fam stood up and said one line each of basically We will care for you and protect you in all ways. It was very nice.
But nooooooooo. not in any way has that been proven true. My family has all abandoned us and now stepmom is micromanaging and it's just horrid.
Dad SAID he'd build us a house, no. He put us in this apartment. it is nice but we loathe the stairs to get up and down all the time. Otherwise, yea, this lil apartment is basically perfect. but dude....we do not need stairs. or to have our money in other hands. Hubby is really struggling with the stairs now. He was before and now it's a lot worse.
Dad says he'll put in an extra rail....like that'll make a difference. He's just trying to get out of this promise cheaply. Houses aren't cheap dad, and they won't be.
He's thinking that making my craft area better will make us or me happy. No.
HOUSE. WITHOUT. STAIRS.

Anyway. Moving on.
Hubby is going on a little distressing vacation soon, and will leave me at the house. He's thinking early November. so I need to ask for those days off cuz I won't have a ride. I invited a great girl friend to hang and she's all for it. So perhaps I will have a ride. We have to figure stuff out.

tm I work from 12-5. but we're going to the flea market before that. Hubby likes to get there when it opens, so that's 6am. We're getting up at 5. He's telling me to get to bed now. so bye!!
