if something intresting had happened... you still wouldn't know

this blog has fallen to the wayside. and the bowl of rice that i am consuming is wonderful... what a cook i am. it's been nearly 3 weeks since i've updated, and yet, despite the fact that i have been officially named the invisible daughter because i'm everywhere but home, i can't think of anything of importance that merits being mentioned here. now that i've taken on the community life leader position at work in addition to my other job there, my schedule is dreadful. 6 days a week, am's and pm's. i spend 3 nights a week sleeping at work cause if i don't do that, within 6 days i spend 6 1/2 hours in my car driving to and from. that's what i get for having a split shift so i have to go to work 9 times in a week. i paid $3.05 for gas today. it was $3.17 last week. clearly its quite painful to have to get gas often. i'm thoroughly enjoying my job though. never in my life did i dream i would be doing something like this. never did i dream i could do something like this. dealing with people with disabilities was something i didn't really know how to do and kind of doubted i would be good at, but it has all come together quite handily and i love my job. of course there are certain unpleasant things about it... quite a few in fact. bodily fluids just can't really be all that happy and exciting, but ya know... it's part of life and a darn good experience for me. i have an awesome new circle of friends though, which is a huge plus. basically i work, and when i'm not working i'm sometimes home but often out doing something random with people from work. us AM staffers are a tight bunch. we went to the drive in last night. because we couldn't all see sitting in sara's car, we laid on blankets in the grass, but it got really cold! it had been 90 degrees during the day so i was wearing shorts, but after a short but heavy rain storm while we were at work it cooled off and i was a bit chilly. oh well. i toughed it out (and people snuggled around me). well that's about it. last week was vacation for me because we didn't have camp over the 4th. i spent 7 out of the last 8 days in a swim suit in the sunshine and am golden now. i'm back to reality now though. i think i might go take a nap. last night was late and i actually had to get out of bed this morning... adios!
