Girly Days and Friendship

On Thursday my Aunt Tracy took me to the beauty school and we did a spa day package! She treated me and said it was an early birthday present! The package included manicure, pedicure, scalp treatment/massage, and a facial. My aunt couldn't believe it was my first time for a mani, pedi and scalp treatment/massage. It felt so good to be girly for once and treated to something so relaxing! We were there for about 3 hours getting everything done and I loved every minute of it. She is so wonderful. We requested to sit by each other the whole time, so we talked with one another as well as with the students who were giving us our treatments. :)

Works getting hectic and frustrating, so it was such a good treat! They are cutting my hours back at work and taking me off the AM van run, so instead of the 24hrs/week I was making, I now only make about 18hrs/week. Its so stressful. I just want to cry most of the time. I don't really have anyone to talk with about it, which makes it worse. I always keep my problems bottled in. No bueno! It's so hard trying to find another job as well. I've applied for places in California and haven't received any call backs, its been a few weeks. There's no one hiring around here so I am stuck with what I have. I have to split my car payment now, so instead of paying it all at once I have to make two small payments. On top of that I have a loan that I have to pay off. Its just so frustrating and disheartening. Why can't things be easier? I want to go back to school more than anything, but I don't see how thats possible with all these obstacles in my way. Don't get me wrong, I am VERY thankful for the job that I do have. I am still able to make my payments on time, I'm just left with nothing afterwards.

I only have about 3 friends I hang out with, I feel so sorry for them. They try so very hard to get me to hang out, but I just have no motivation to do anything with them. Lack of funds mostly. I did go the other day to see my friend Paul. We watched the Dilemma and ate pizza. Yum yum. It was nice.

Then last night I had my friend Francisco Leon come over and we watched The Rite. I kept falling asleep, I had seen it already. Its still a pretty good movie. It was nice to see him and just shoot the breeze.

My sister, Ellen, and her kids came down for the week, It was so good to see them and hang out with them while I wasn't working. We went to the river one day and just had fun in the sun. Most of the time we just watched movies and TV here at the house. Robyn and Jessica, her two oldest, slept with me while they were here. It was nice to not sleep a lone :). I feel sorry for them, I wish they could have a better life to grow up in. I know their mom loves them, they just have it so hard. Ellen and our mom got in a fight, so she was yelling and screaming at the kids. The kids left in tears, they didn't do anything wrong. Everything gets taken out on them. It's terrible. One day I hope they can realize that life isn't suppose to be that way. Hopefully one day they will be able to find the happiness they deserve.

Well that was my girly days and friendship. It feels good to be able to write things and know that SOMEONE reads it. Well, hopefully, someone does. Otherwise I am just writing to a never ending abyss of the cyber realm. Is there anyone out there??
