Weekly Gratitude
- I got a job! I don’t remember if, in the whole September-hell-month fiasco, I mentioned that I lost my job (the business may be shutting down), but I did. And Friday, I got a job! And they make everything from scratch!
- I have five days to learn everything in this stack of papers.
- Luckily I have an “If it can be done, then I can do it.” mentality. Study study study.
- A full refrigerator. Fresh foods. Grapes. Apples. Peppers. Tomatoes. Few things make me happier than a full fridge.
- My mom is coming to visit on Monday!
- That new job? Four minutes away on my bike. I could walk, but where would be the fun in that?
- I love my bike. I love zipping from place to place. I will love it even more when it cools down (should be soon!)
- ASU has a farmer’s market every other Tuesday. I got a whole bunch of vegetables last week for under $8. Looking forward to next week’s!
- I turned in my Creative Writing Portfolio to get into the major on Thursday. I should hear back by October 15th. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
I’m about to make some oatmeal raisin cookies. I’ll let you know how they turn out.
(The September hell was more than just roaches. Here’s a list of big crappy things that happened during the month of September: Echo had a benign tumor on her ear ($400), $250 spent on car + more repairs needed later, roaches kept coming, ended up having to leave apartment and moved [though our new place is much nicer anyway], former landlord may sue, lost my job, forgot about a big chunk of French homework that was due [teacher let me make it up], under prepared for French test, Echo got Kennel Cough ($130), traffic ticket that cost me $212. Let’s just say, October has got to be better, for which I am grateful.)
