Work tomorrow at 7 AM. I'm getting trained to make sandwiches. I've had the past two days off, and they've felt so nice to stay home and clean and hang out and watch movies and cuddle with the pups. Our house looks like people actually live here, and we're finally starting to have everything moved in and put away. Still don't have a bed yet, but hopefully that'll be taken care of this weekend.
I've had more money come into my hands and then right out in the past week, but it feels good to be working hard to get somewhere. A lot of people I know have this mentality that they shouldn't work for anything they want. That's so frustrating. Regardless of what society you live in, primitive or post-industrial, you're going to have to exert some sort of effort to see progress... in everything. I keep trying to explain this, but I guess if you have no work ethic (and by work that can mean virtually anything) you're not going to attempt to grasp that concept. Feel free to argue with me if you disagree.
So far my roommates are awesome. Johnny and I have our ups and downs but for the most part, things are great. Dakota has been really cool so far, even though we barely hang out. He's always working! I hope we really actually hang out at least a couple of times before he leaves. Cam's moving his stuff earlier than expected. He's been hanging out with me and Johnny a ton and it's been a ton of fun.
We paid our first bill today. It was weird! And the dogs are getting better about not pooping and pissing all over the house or chewing everything up everything they see. I fixed the floors and the trim where the dogs had messed them up--not sure if I mentioned that in my last post. We also went to the Decatur Library today and signed up for a card. They've got an awesome selection but I was feeling tired so I didn't really look at the books. They do have a bunch of Criterion films though... <3>

ReplyDeleteExcept for the three massive rotten-meat-and-peanut-butter-smelling dumps they left in the corner of the living room, the lake of urine on the floor, the sandals they chewed up, and the three blocks of styrofoam they ate up and displaced all over the yard. All last night. I still love those bastards, though. And you. <3
