Employment!

Leave a comment

Well I got hired at the bar! Yes, that’s right, I’m finally going to be part of the work force again.

Thank God. I’m sick of being broke.

In other news I had my purse stolen last Sunday. M and I went down to the river after going to the Lane County Fair and when we got back to his truck the passenger side window had been smashed in and my purse was gone. Now, usually, I don’t even take my purse to the river and if I do I will lock it in my trunk. We didn’t take my car and I put it behind the passenger seat.. Well that obviously didn’t stop shit.

They left his GPS and stereo deck and a few other valuables in the truck. They just grabbed my purse.. and MAGICALLY my iPod fell out of my purse as they snatched it. Mike found it the next day underneath the back of the passenger seat. I was so fucking happy! You see, that shit happened to me all the time with my old purse. If you tipped it even a little bit in the wrong direction it would puke everything out of the small purse in the front.. which I kept my iPod and cigarettes in (my cigs were with me on the beach.)

So fuck those mother fuckers. What does suck is that I had my SS card in there (Big no-no.. I just forgot to take it out after my last job!) and two forms of photo ID. My Oregon ID card and my California drivers license.

So I get to take the driving test over again. Fuck. That shit scares me. I know I’m a good driver (no tickets) and I’ve obviously passed before.. but still the anxiety.

Oh and the money. Did I mention I’m a broke chick?

If someone wants to steal my identity let them. I don’t have credit and a shit ton of debt.

Fuck it, I got a job! Today is a good day.

Elliptical and Interviews

Leave a comment

Let’s start with the elliptical. My sister is awesome and gave us her E
elliptical after she decided to buy a treadmill. Woohoo! I’ve been struggling with my keto diet after going strong for two weeks and not loosing a single pound. Why would I continue torturing myself.
So exercise it is.

Onto the job interviews! I finally got two calls back after putting in what felt like one-hundred applications. One for a barista position and the other for bartender. The bartending interview went really well.

Wish me luck!

Sprained Ankle and Golden Years

Leave a comment

As I mentioned in my previous post I’ve sprained my ankle. It’s a bit better now but still pretty purple. I’m glad I can walk on it comfortably again. It was driving me nuts. I’ve never injured my feet or ankles before.

I was especially worried because this weekend is the Coburg Golden Years festival that I’m volunteering at. I will be working in the beer garden so if I wasn’t able to stand I would have had to back out at the last minute.

I’m pretty excited about it. I’ve been searching and applying for jobs all week and so far no luck. It will be nice to be finally doing something other than just thinking about doing something.

 

Spinning Around and Round

Leave a comment

The topic of today’s entry is going to be Poi. Not the food, the sport/art/dance/hobby of spinning poi. And my love for it. 

Oh how I had forgotten.

I spun for a few hours yesterday. It was wonderful. I haven’t spun poi in months and I was so worried I would have forgotten everything, or I would be hitting myself. Nope! Well, a few times, but that was bound to happen. My younger brother also spun with me which was great. I like having someone to talk to while I do it.

The point of this story is I feel that after my hiatus from spinning, after just one day, I’m already totally head over-heels in love with it again. It’s a fun work out and it really helps my brain and body work together in new ways.

I’m going to search hi and low for one of my poi video’s so I can post it!
