Yawn. So, not really too much going on lately. Just sleep, work, hanging out with TH and TK, and trying to get over this cold or whatever the hell it is. I feel a lot better than I did but it just won't quite go away. I'm wondering if part of it might be allergies because cedar is supposed to be really bad right now. It's never really bothered me before though so who knows. TH seems to be mostly over it but TK still has some congestion and a cough. He's started taking the OTC allergy pill that TH takes to see if that helps any. So, yeah. It's all been super duper exciting, lol.
Let's see. 2 weekends ago we had the last round of NFL wildcard games, then this past Sunday we had the 2 championship games. Nothing next Sunday (well, there is the Pro Bowl, but that's only showing on ESPN so we can't watch it. Boo), then the Sunday after that (February 7) is the Super Bowl! And I requested the night off so we can just hang out all day and watch the game and stuff :-) It's going to be the Broncos and the Panthers so hopefully it'll be a good game. Then, no more football until September. Sigh :-( I dunno what the hell we're gonna do on Sundays now...

January 12
Holy crap I still feel like shit. Sigh. And now TK has had whatever this shit is for the last couple of days. And and and, now TH is starting to come down with it. I'm gonna be so glad when it's finally gone. We don't get sick much but it seems like when we do, it sticks around for a while. Double sigh...
So let's see. Last Friday TK and I went to HEB early then just went home and kinda hung out for a while. Seems like we actually took a nap before TH got home, lol. We thought about having my buddy from work come over to hang out but nobody really felt like it. So TH got home and we watched a movie then went on to bed.

January 7
Holy crap. What a fucking week. Ok so I survived New Year's Eve at work. Barely, lol. I said I was gonna do it and I did - I brought some vodka and mixed it with a Big Gulp of Dr. Pepper so that made the night go by a little smoother, at least. TK and I had bought some of those little streamer popper thingies so I brought some up here and played with them. So that was fun :-) Got home Friday morning (finally!) and hung out with TK for a while then we got out and messed around for a while. We went to Walmart, Target, Gamestop, Toys R Us, and a little retro used video game store. We managed to find a used copy of Sonic Heroes for the GameCube pretty cheap :-) TH got home and we made dinner and watched a movie but by then I was feeling kinda crappy so I went on to bed.
...And then Saturday morning I woke up with a fucking cold or something. So the rest of the week was pretty much just a blur of sleep, work, sleep, feel like shit, sleep, and try not to die. Including Monday, which was my birthday. Le sigh. TH and TK did actually make me a birthday cake though, which was totally a surprise. Pretty cool though :-) So now it's Thursday night and I'm finally feeling half-ass human again. I actually stayed up for a while and played some Mario Kart with TK. Yay me, lol. I'm thinking when I get off in the morning TK and I will go do a quick store run then we need to clean the house up a little bit in case my buddy from work comes over Friday night :-)

December 31
New Years Fucking Eve. Holy shit I had forgotten how fucking busy it is at work on New Years Eve. Le sigh. But it'll be over soon, and it's Thursday night, so yay for the weekend! I know I haven't written in like 2 weeks but I've just been kinda blah. Plus work is busy since all of the kids are home from school so it's been hard to find the time. But everyone's good, Christmas was cool, and so on and so on. I'll get into more detail later, lol. Just figured it would be super lame not to write anything at all tonight. Since it is, you know, the last day of 2015...
So woohoo and hooray.
So woohoo and hooray.

So, yeah. I'm still alive and all that shit. Just been busy and stuff. Or whatever, lol. Not really too much going on though. Mostly just work, sleep, hanging out...the usual. This past Saturday (the 19th) my mom came over and we did our little Christmas thing with her. We didn't cook a big dinner or anything though. She made a couple of mexican casserole type thingies and we made chocolate pies. So that was good :-) We did our stockings and stuff with her and gave her the Christmas present we had bought. We got her an Amazon Fire TV Stick so she can watch Hulu and Netflix and all that shit on her TV. She was quite excited :-) Then next Friday is Christmas so after TH gets home from work we'll do our little thing with presents and all that. I really hope everyone likes what they're getting!
Oh yeah. So TK doesn't work at Target anymore. Le sigh. He made it 3 or 4 days and then just couldn't handle it anymore. I guess it was just too big and busy and stressful and shit. He doesn't do well with stressful :-/ So he's been looking around for something else. Hopefully he can find something that will work out alright...

December 10
Thursday night again! Holy shit finally, lol. It has been a long-ass week. And I just realized that somehow I haven't managed to write at all this week. So, yeah. Oops.
Ok so let's see. Last Friday morning I got off work and TK and I went by Walmart to pick up a few things then I dropped him off at Target for his orientation! It was supposed to be from 10-1:30 so I ran a few errands while he was there. I went to Sam's, stopped by HEB for a few things, then went home and wrapped some Christmas presents and stuff. Headed back to Target to pick him up and after waiting for a little bit he texted and said they wanted him to stay for cashier training. Ok fine. I headed home and since he would be done about the time TH would get off work, I asked TH to pick him up. I had literally just walked in the door at the house when he texted me back saying it had been canceled and he was ready to go. So, I went back to Target (again) and picked him up. Got home and played a little Fallout until TH got home, then we got to go downtown to the main transit office to get TK an ID card that shows he's eligible for the student rate bus fare. You know, since he doesn't have a student ID and shit, lol. We also went ahead and bought a month-long bus pass at the reduced rate. Unlimited rides for $31 a month. It sounds crazy but I hadn't realized how expensive the buses had gotten. I think it's like $3 a trip now for adults! Stopped by Pizza Hut on the way home because that sounded really, really good. Got home and hung out for a while then went on to bed.

December 3
Holy shit, it is finally Thursday night! Not really much going on this week, oh except that TK went for an interview this morning and GOT A FREAKING JOB!!! Ahem. So Tuesday he filled out an application for seasonal work at Target and Wednesday they called him back wanting him to come in for an interview this morning. At freaking 10:00, which kinda sucked because sleeeeep. Ah well, that's what Monsters are for, lol. So this morning we left the house kinda early and stopped by Walmart to kill some time, then went and wandered around Target until time for his interview. Apparently they had quite a few people come in because we were there for freaking ever. But he got it!! He's going to be a cashier/cart attendant/whatever they tell him to do, lol. They wanted him to come back in for orientation tomorrow morning so we scrambled around trying to find a uniform and stuff. It was kind of a pain in the ass but we did it, so he's all set to "start" tomorrow morning! He is super excited (and kinda nervous) but I think he'll be fine. I am so proud of him :-) The really cool thing is that since he's homeschooled he can pretty much work whenever they want him to. So it's only considered a seasonal job (through January), but if it works out and they like him there's a chance he could stay on as a regular employee. If nothing else this will give him a couple of months to work, make a little money, get some experience, and have something to show as work history. So yay :-) The only thing that's kinda fucked is that his starting pay is $.50 less per hour than I'm making right now, and I've had this job for like 6 years...
It's all good, though. So he goes for orientation tomorrow, then we need to set him up a bank account and see about getting him a buss pass and stuff so he can get to work. He picked a store that's a pretty easy little bus ride away, which was smart. I'm a little nervous about him getting out and doing all that by himself because there are freaking crazy people everywhere, but I know he has to grow up sometime. Sigh, lol.
