A relaxing weekend

No Comments »

Dear Readers,

This week was much better. I knew much more what to expect. I knew how much sleep I had to have before I could work. The sleep required not to fall asleep at work is 5 and a half hours approx. I like to get about 6 and a half though. I stopped drinking all the caffine Wednesday. Just a coffee at breakfast time and then water and water based drinks the rest of the day.

I’ve been spending this weekend at the lake in Cleveland. The Van Buren’s invited me to go with them to there relitives up there. I’m having a great time. I thought there would be more rest but 2 babys convisted me otherwise.

Well, I’m going stop writing now since I can’t find anything else to say.

Boring Details of My Life

No Comments »

Dear Readers,
It’s been a long week and at the same time the days seem to be really long. I found that as I get used to work the days went faster, but the time at home seemed to do the same.
I’m brown bagging it to work, if anybody wanted to know. I take a ham sandwich, amp, and yogurt bar. For 1st break I take another amp and another yogurt bar. I know how boring. I don’t mind it really it’s better than the lunches I’ve seen some of them bring. The one guy didn’t even bring a lunch 1 day he just slept through lunch time.
I’m having some problems with the photo gallery some of you may have noticed that tried to use it in the past few days. I can’t seem to get it fixed right now so I’ll work on it again when I get a chance.
I had a good time this weekend. I started the weekend playing games with Richard. I fell asleep on him. I went to bed about 7 P.M. and slept until about 7 A.M. I was tired Saturday at the right time again too. I spent most of Saturday trying to clean up the house. About 3 P.M. I went to Van Buren’s to do trimming and then we had a bonfire.
Today, I got stuff ready for this week. I now know, I won’t feel like doing anything during the week. I also worked on the website. I updated the gallery I think this is where I messed it up. I update the blog firmware. I also update my upload software. I hope to go back to a backup of the gallery this evening if I’m not too tired. This afternoon, I did laundry and I cleaned my room. About 4 Natasha came over and we watched a few Hardy Boys episodes, had pizza, and candy. Tonight after church I’m going to Wal*Mart to buy the food I’ll need to make lunches all this week. I’m also going to buy a door knob for my room. I haven’t had one almost, since I moved in. It is starting to annoy me that Molly can just bump my door and open it.
Well, I guess that’s all for now. I can’t think of anything else to tell you.

2 Days of Hard Work

No Comments »

Dear Readers,

I’ve finished day 2 of work for Midwest MTD in Willard. I’m liking it so far. I come home really tired but that’s part of the fun of a first job I’m told. I’m not sure exactly how much I’m aloud to say about what I do, so I won’t. I think that the longest part of the day is waiting from first break to lunch. First break is at 8 and lunch is at 11:18 A.M. It’s all easier after luch since there is only 3 and a half hours left in the work day.

Well, I’m late to bed as it is, so this is all for tonight.

Some Pictures for the Masses

No Comments »

Dear Readers,

I uploaded about 40 new pictures for you of:

Bratwurst Festival ’08

Also an etc. album for odds and ends.

I have also upload almost all the old gallery photos. I will try to upload some more pictures each day as I now have no size limit on my web site. Blue Host is great. I have some 22 thousand pictures at this time. They take up about 46 GB of hard drive space.

I’m nervious about tomorrow, my first day of work. I’m not finding it as hard to get up at 3 A.M. as I thought I would. I have been keeping my work schedule for 2 nights. I now know why mom goes to bed so early.

Well, I’ll try to write more after my first day.

P.S. Crystal, Richard, and Ashley start school at “Windy Acre” tomorrow too.

I also noticed I hadn’t told you Richard is my room mate now. Were doing well, this is our second week in the same house.


A Job at Last

No Comments »

Dear Readers,

All my hard work paid off this week. Tuesday, I got a call from IB-Tech’s on site Spherion. They didn’t have a job because of my inexperience but they did have another job opening in Willard. Willard, OH is about 31 miles from my house. I went Thursday and filled out a full application and I scheduled orientation for Monday. Thursday afternoon I got a call asking if I could drug screen and orientate tomorrow (Friday.) I told them I could. I went yesterday and I got the job. I work a 10 hour shift right now. I also have a 5 A.M. report time so that means I’m getting up at 3 A.M. to get there on time.

I spent the first part of my week keeping dad company in IN. He had F.L.A.M.E. classes to attend so he can be ordained next year. I had a good time it was nice and relaxing. I’ve read 2 books this week. I read One Night with The King and Dragonlight. I’m going to start and hopefully finish Hood this weekend before I start work.

I told you all I’d have pictures but I’m sad to tell you I don’t. Maybe I’ll post any good Bratwurst festivial ones I take that are decent.

Bumps in my life's road

No Comments »

Dear Readers,
I received a letter in response to my interview. They didn’t have any positions at my experience level. I’ll start looking for jobs that are more local Monday.
I had a better weekend than week. I got a lot done Saturday. I took the extra cement mix back. I also took all my recycling to the bins.
Today, I got all my dishes done people who have been to my house can tell you it is my greatest weakness. I spent a good part of my afternoon working on getting internet at the church. I got it to work in the back. It’s too bad I needed it in the front.
Some of you might want to check out the church’s new web site or the pastor’s web log. We also have outlines and audio of our services there.

P.S. I’ll try to take some pictures to share this week.


A Week of Blaa

No Comments »

Dear Readers,

I haven’t done anything great this week. The only thing I did that was the least bit exciting was go to our district cofrence as a delegate. Besides that I mowed the lawn and just read, watched tv, and played RuneScape.

I walked every day so far this week although I haven’t yet today. I missed my alarm today because I was up too late last night. I didn’t have anything important to do anyways. I might go swimming for the first time in about a month. I just haven’t been in the mood as Richard puts it.

Crystal is schedualed to have her drivers license test next Thursday. I hope she only has to take it once since I’m tired of driving her around.

I also would like to point you to the Gallery again this week. The newest album is one last day of vacation pictures. I won’t be integrating links anymore. The gallery link is now up at the top of the page.

Well, I guess that’s all for now.
