Another Late Night Blog

It's almost amusing that I only ever blog when it's late at night. I suppose it's because I'm normally only up late at night if I'm thinking too much to sleep. Which is half of what tonight is. The other half is that I threw out my back at work today and am in quite a bit of pain and can't seem to get comfy.

So real quick a rant about that! I threw out my back about 15 minutes into my work day while I was taking chairs off of tables as part of the opening work. I got about half-way done with the dining room and out of no where my back tensed up and I couldn't breathe because the expanding of my lungs made my back hurt like hell. I lied down for a few minutes and was able to walk a bit. I was concerned because I couldn't bend over to pick things up, couldn't carry heavy objects, and was struggling to even walk without pain. So I called the on call person, and she refused to come in... So in the end, I worked a double... Yeah, freakin sucked. Luckily the manager was understanding and cut me early both shifts. But it still made for a stressful, and painful, day. Tomorrow I work another double with limited mobility, this time apparently with limited sleep on top of that!

So an update! For the few of you who actually read this, especially after the months of no posts. Work is good! I am working for APS as an educational assistant, but since it's summer I don't have to work there. So I took over Gilbert's job at Tomato Cafe while he's away. The APS job is a huge step up from Desert Hills and I've thoroughly enjoyed it! The only problem I have is a few of my co-workers who are bigoted in ways I thought I'd be spared from for at least another year. I'll post on them another time, but the work is good! Tomato Cafe has been a perfect summer job! I love the majority of the people I work with. It can get stressful but never anything over whelming. I'm making decent money, not enough to live off of, but luckily I don't need that money to support myself. The management has been fantastic! I've had a pretty busy schedule outside of work and have had no troubles at all with getting the days I needed off!

Performing has been something I haven't done near as much as I'd like over the past year. I'm still struggling with some vocal issues but am back in voice lessons to try and work through them. I also have an appointment with a Speech Pathologist next month. So I'm trying to recover. I did however get cast in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying! I'll be playing Bud Frump who is essentially the antagonist of the story. It's a character part again, which I kinda wanted to start distancing myself from, but oh well. I need to be performing so I gotta take what I can get!

My love life has been surprisingly good as of late. Gilbert's been in Oklahoma and it's been 35 days since I've seen him face to face or kissed him. We talk a lot, at least twice a day, and we've video chatted almost every day! That wasn't our original plan, but he gets poor cell phone reception in the house he's staying in so we've had to use Skype as our primary means of communication. The past few days have been fairly weak on the communication side however, which has a lot to do with me being awake right now. He's gotten busy and I've unfortunately felt like I've been bumped down on his priority list. I know that's me over thinking things, and we're still doing great. Plus I get to see him in 5 days! After living with someone for a year and spending every day with them, it's hard not to have a really intense longing for them when you can't kiss them or hold them. But that'll be cured for a while in just a few days, I need it...

I think that's all... I'm sadly not tired at all, which is awful because I work in 5 hours and am still in quite a bit of pain. But such is life right?

I'll try and be better about updating... I don't know if anyone actually reads this but it certainly helps me to just put all my thoughts down. I'd start a journal if I didn't feel silly about doing it...

Good night all, but more like good morning as it's so freakin early!!!
