Wallflower

Well, this is likely going to be the most boring post of my blog thus far. I've been stateside for about 3 weeks now, and have had the most dull experience of my summer. Everyone around me is moving and getting things ready for vacations or big moves, but I will reside here in the house. Doing work, working out, yardwork, housework, soon homework; work, work, work, all I do is boring ol' work. I work a double shift tomorrow, and had an eight hour shift today. It's not to no benefit, as I did just purchase a shining new HP laptop. The thing is glorious, and it works when I want it to. (All I ever wanted my damn Dell to do) Fingerprint recognition is pretty cool too. All this money is going to start getting saved though, as I've quit some of my costlier habits cold-turkey. It's relieving really, to know I have the kind of financial reassurance in the bank that would allow me to up and move to a new city if that's what I wanted. I will, however, be cutting hours for a couple weeks. I just need to learn to balance things a bit better. Sometimes I forget that there is a medium between a 45 hour workweek and bumming around substitute teaching kids for two shifts a week. The only real anxiety reducers that are running in my system are Coltrane, ibuprofen, and the occasional visit from CatHawk's baby German Shepherd. The funny part about dogsitting is that I'd totally take care of puppies all day for free. It's kinda nice company in an otherwise empty house. I'd always considered myself a loner-type, but the last two weeks have proved otherwise. I don't get to see the friends I know and love very often anymore, and it's a treat when there's more than two of us in the same room; however, the people I know and endure seem to call every time they're on this side of Pensacola. I see people all the time, but I see real friends once a month-ish. That needs to change now that I'm back.
I will find you people:
