Sunday night, back at work. Got busy Thursday night and didn't get a chance to write. That seems to be happening a lot lately, lol. So let's see...Thursday morning I got home and everyone was awake so I hung out with them for a while. Went to bed and TH and TK were supposed to wake me up to go swimming but they decided they didn't feel like it. Sigh. Ended up sleeping late, TH made stuffed bell peppers for dinner, and I went to work. So nothing terribly exciting.

Friday I got home and woke TK up and we went hiking! It was awesome :-) We went and explored the park where we go swimming. It has a nice little gravel path that loops the whole park but there are also trails that cut though the woods and go down to the creek. We saw fish, a turtle, some tiny little frogs, and a deer! So cool! Stopped by HEB on our way home to pick up a couple of things, hung out with TH until he left for work, then took a nap. Got up before TH got home and made some frozen pizzas (I had frozen wings) and TK's buddy came over to spend the night. We watched a couple of episodes of Prison Break for movie night, TH went to bed, and I went out Lyfting!! I started around 10:00 and got home at almost 3:00. I ended up giving 8 rides for a total of $98!! Definitely not bad for my first night. I wasn't really sure where to hang out to pick up the most rides but I think I have a pretty good strategy now. Got home and TK and his buddy were still awake so I hung out with them until TH got up to go to work, then had a little quiet time :-) I think I ended up going to bed around 9:00 or so.

Well, I got busy last night and didn't have a chance to write. Not really much going on though so that's ok. Got home yesterday morning and everyone was awake so I hung out with them for a while. Went to bed late, woke up in time to cook taco meat for dinner, and came to work. Yeehaw, lol. We decided that we were going to go swimming early today so when I got home I stayed up and hung out with TH and TK until the pool opened at 11:00. TK decided that he didn't feel like going so TH and I went. It was freaking awesome! There were like, five other people there. Soooooo quiet. We swam for a while, stopped by Whataburger for some lunch, and I ended up going to bed around 3:00. Got up at 8:00 to come to work so I'm kinda tired but not as bad as I thought I would be. So that's nice :-)

I think when I get home tomorrow I'm going to wake TK up so we can go hiking. I kinda wanted to wait until TH felt like going but he doesn't really seem that interested in waking up early to go. Which I can understand, lol.

Noms for the day: Peanut butter and blueberries on a low carb tortilla for breakfast. Bunless burger on a salad for lunch. Almonds and iced coffee on the way to work. If I get hungry later I brought some leftover taco stuff.

Song: Travis Tritt - Country Club. Random shuffle.

Best thing: Quiet swimming :-)

Worst thing: A little tired but not bad.

Hooray.

So so so....I am now officially a Lyft driver!!! Yeah :-) I went home this morning and dropped my stuff off then went and did the little test drive with a mentor. I passed that no problem, so the only thing left was to have the background check and driving record done. They said it could take a couple of days at the most but mine finished up today. So now I can start driving whenever I want! I'm so excited :-) I may try it out a few times early in the morning to see what happens but I definitely plan out going out this Friday and/or Saturday night. It should be interesting!

Let's see. Other than that, not really much going on. Got home after the test drive and hung out with TH and TK for a while, stayed up later than I probably should have, and went to bed. Slept until about 6:30 then just kinda hung out again until time to come to work. We had leftovers for dinner but I made a pizza-in-a-bowl type thing. It was nom :-) I slept too late to try to go swimming but hopefully we can tomorrow. And this week TH actually gets both of his days off so maybe we can all go Wednesday or Thursday!

Noms for the day: Cheese and a couple of Slim Jims for breakfast. Pizza in a bowl for dinner. Iced coffee on the way to work. If I get hungry later I brought some pork rinds and a little bit of watermelon.

Song: The Wallflowers - Three Marlenas. Random shuffle.

Best thing: I'm a Lyft driver!!!

Worst thing: No swimming :-(

Okey Dokeys then.

Sunday night, back at work. Not really much going on this weekend. And for some reason it has been slower than shit here at work, which is always nice. Kinda strange, but nice. So, Friday morning I woke TH up when I got home because he had to go to work early. TK was still awake too so we watched a couple of episodes of Prison Break. TH left for work and TK and I went out messing around for a while. We went by Target and looked at toys, looked at games at Gamestop, stopped to get a couple of things from Sam's, and went by HEB. Got home and played for a little while then took a short nap until TH got home. Made nachos for dinner (pork rinds for me) and watched a couple of episodes of Prison Break for movie night. TH went to bed and TK and I stayed up for a while.

Saturday we slept kinda late then went to get my car detailed. It is soooooo clean now! The only problem is that I have some dried cement splatters that they weren't able to remove. It doesn't look horrible, but I hope it's not bad enough that they don't want me to do the Lyft thingie :-/ Because the inside looks awesome :-) Finished up there and got home just before TH did, made burgers for dinner, and watched A Million Ways To Die In The West. It was freaking hilarious :-) TH went to bed and TK and I stayed up late again, lol.

Thursday night, yay!! So, I got busy last night and didn't get a chance to write. Not really much going on, though. Got home yesterday and TK was still awake so we played for a while. TH got up and I hung out with him, went to bed kinda late, and slept until almost time to come to work. I split the steak dinner that a resident gave me with TH so I didn't worry about cooking. It rained a little bit off and on all day, really just enough to kinda get everything wet. We had thought about going swimming but it was TH's only day off so he just wanted to hang out and do nothing, lol. After it slowed down at work last I played some GTA V with TK until he got sleepy. He crashed out around 2:30 or so - I think he had been awake for like, 24 hours at that point. So that was fun.

Before I left work this morning I got to meet the new lady. I like her :-) I hope she sticks around for a while! Got home and woke TH up because he had to go in to work early. Made some Spam and egg breakfast tacos, hung out with him until he left for work, went to bed, and got up after he got home. He stopped at Sam's on his way home but tomorrow TK and I need to go by the other one for like, 3 things. Kinda sucks that neither one has everything that we need. He got home and we had leftovers for dinner. It kinda rained a little bit earlier today but by the time I got up it was seriously storming. The rain has slacked off a little bit now but there's still plenty of lightning out there. It's supposed to start back up here in a little bit and I guess basically rain all night. Which we need :-)

Noms for the day(s) - Keto!!!!

Song: Saliva - Fuck All Y'all. Random shuffle again.

Best thing: Nice new lady at work :-)

Worst thing: Foot still hurts :-/

Woohoo.

July 15

Not much going on today. I stopped by Randall's on my way home this morning for a cabbage and some peanut butter. I got a strange look from the cashier, lol. TK was still awake when I got home so we played for a little while. TH got up and I hung out with him, went to bed kinda late, and woke up just before he got home from work. We made breakfast for dinner - sausage, eggs, and flax pancakes. It rained off and on all day and by the time I got ready to leave for work it was pouring. Now it's down to a light drizzle. I think it's supposed to do this off and on for the next couple of days as a front moves through. They're calling it a "cold front", lol. It's supposed to drop the temperatures down into the mid to low 90's instead of the high 90's. Yayyyy.

So right after I got to work tonight one of the residents called up here complaining about someone ringing his doorbell and running away. I'm like, dude I'm up here at the gate and can't do anything about it. Call the Sheriff's office. That was like, two hours ago and I haven't seen a cop yet, lol. He seemed to think it was super high priority but yeah, if they've got other stuff going on that's gonna be the last thing they worry about :-D

Noms for the day: Peanut butter and blueberries on a low carb tortilla for breakfast. 2 sausage patties before I left for work. Iced coffee on the way to work. If I get hungry later I brought some flax pancakes and I still have leftover chicken and roasted veggies.

Song: The Offspring - Self Esteem. Random shuffle.

Best thing: One of my residents is the co-owner of one of the little restaurants here in the neighborhood. He brought me some steak, veggies, mashed potatoes, and macaroni (TH will get the potatoes and macaroni). They wubs me :-)

Worst thing: I was breaking down a box this morning and sliced the tip of my index finger open on a staple. Fucking hurts, and the bandage is in a weird spot :-(

Hooray.

July 14

So last night I brought the Xbox to work with me and ended up playing GTA V with TK until about 5 am. He was asleep by the time I got home but TH was awake so I hung out with him for a while, went to bed kinda early, got up at 3:00, and TK and I went swimming for a while. Got home and played for a little bit, made chicken and roasted veggies for dinner, hung out with TH when he got home, and now I'm at work.

So when I got here tonight the flex officer girl was here, and she'll be here again tomorrow. Wednesday and Thursday are normal, and then Friday we're supposed to have a new lady take over the open shift. She actually started over at TH's site today, and she's working there Tuesday and Wednesday, training here Thursday, and starting Friday. So if she works out over here that means that our open shift is filled. Yay! But now the open shift at TH's site is not. So TH will be off Wednesday like he should be but then he has to work the early-ish shift Thursday and go in a few hours early Friday. Sigh. I know he's ready for a couple of real days off. I mean yeah, the overtime is nice, but I hate that he has to work the extra :-( Thursday is payday though, and I'm going to take my car to get it cleaned and detailed, then hopefully start doing a little driving for Lyft on my days off. It's supposed to be decent money on the side. Plus I like driving :-)

Noms for the day: Breakfast - peanut butter and blueberries on a low-carb tortilla. A few leftover chicken wings before I came to work. Iced coffee on the way to work. If I get hungry later I brought the chicken and roasted veggies from dinner.

Song: Kings Of Leon - Family Tree. A new one!

Best thing: Feeling good today!!

Worst thing: I tried to win an eBay auction for TH that ended last night at midnight. I almost had it but was outbid at the last fucking second >:-(

Yippee.
