A hectic holiday week..

It's never much fun working in a grocery store around Thanksgiving. It's very busy and it makes me want to get away from it all. I've already taken 3 days off in early December to recharge and get ready for Christmas week. It's a bigger holiday, but luckily not as big of a food shopping one. The winter here has been mild so far, so we're going north where it's colder and most likely snowier. We're still waiting on word from the lender about approval for a home loan. This lady got my hopes up when I talked to her yesterday saying she might tell me before Thanksgiving. She's not calling today and tomorrow starts her holiday break. I can't wait for Monday.. I just want to get out of this tiny apartment as soon as possible. It's a nice place, just way too small. Owning a nice single family house is a dream of mine. Grass to mow, rooms to decorate how we please, not worrying about stepping lightly or making too much noise.. there are so many benefits to it. I'm used to living in a house. In my Mom's house I could put my music up and the neighbors didn't care, because they couldn't hear it. In this place we have people to the left, right, and beneath us. It's very unnerving, because I'm a clumsy guy. In the bathroom I drop the mouthwash on the floor, knock other things over, get up quickly (and loudly I'm sure) to answer the phone, and I unintentionally shut doors too hard. I feel bad.. but these things happen and I would hate to be below other people. I'm going to try and write in this every day, even if Deb's here. It's hard to write when she's here because she always has to know what I'm typing about. I usually just browse when she's home so she never hears my loud typing. I think I'll just post a reflection of my mood each day or how work went.. as long as I post something. I know I don't have a lot of visitors to my site, but I'd like to have something updated. Well.. that's all for now.. until next time.. --------
