Summer So Far

Had a very good day today. My friend Elizabeth came to visit me here in Farmington. I haven't seen her in about a year so it was nice to catch up. She is very sweet and nice. We talked, played card games, watched a movie and made brownies. She is a very fun person to hang out with and I had forgotten how much fun.

I am now relaxing with Garret on the couch, writing this and watching TV on Netflix. Yeah, I love Netflix. Cheaper than Movie Gallery ever was and way cheaper than cable and with it I know that I like what I am watching cause I can watch anything I want. I still miss channel surfing some when I am bored but this is better than internet.

So far my summer is turning out to be very good. I am getting to hang out with friends who I haven't seen in a long time as well as relax with Garret here at home. I am not being too overworked by Staples too which is really nice. Sometimes when I go on breaks from school they get a little overzealous with scheduling me. Mostly I spend my time reading for fun, watching TV shows and movies on Netflix, cuddling with Garret, working, and hanging out with friends. I love most of the things on the list. Work isn't fun but at least it helps me put money away for school and to live. That is nice.

I am not looking forward to when June starts. Garret will be returning to work at the hospital Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Some weeks it will be Tuesdays and Wednesdays and other weeks it will be Wednesdays and Thursdays. He will be here every weekend until at least Monday night which is nice but I often work those days. I am hoping that weeks when he works Wednesdays and Thursdays I will have Tuesday off which will mean we can have a day off together. At the least I will get to see him every weekend before and after work. Maybe with a lot of luck I will get a Saturday or Sunday off occasionally. *shrugs* I know I shouldn't complain. I mean, I got him to myself almost everyday over winter break. And it isn't going to kill my summer completely. I just will miss him. Nothing wrong with that. It happens. It is necessary in order for us to keep living in our apartment and for him to keep going to school. Soon enough this will be done and maybe when we have real jobs we will have days off together.

Enough of this. I am having a good summer. I am still going to have a good summer. I am lucky to have an apartment and to live with Garret even part time. I am lucky to have time off from work and school.
