Present

Yeah, I'm here. Present!

My kindergarten teacher always had us say "Present!" instead of "Here" for some reason. I would always get excited and thing I was going to get a gift, because I didn't know the multiple meanings of that word.

And that is why I am a bitter person to this day! :D J/K

Raffy and I are looking for a new place to live. This new place is starting to turn to the ways of my previous apartment. We're looking into our options, and we're going to move to a better side of town. I have some friends I'm inquiring with to see where they live, how it is, and whether it would accommodate our needs. I hate moving! I wish the new neighbors would just leave, and take their smoke and weed with them!

They always stare at us when we leave, and they are there when we get back from home. Watching. Doing Nothing. You can tell when someone doesn't have a conventional job. And when 2 families are living in a one bedroom apartment, you know that isn't a good thing to be around.

Other than that I have been longing to finish my paintings. I want to take some time off work so I can just paint. Paint and relax.

I read your comment, Rach, about the canceled trip to NY. I will use my time off then, since I don't have to save it for anything. Raffy and I want to go on a vacation when he graduates, to celebrate and to give him time off. So if that's next year, I have to use it or lose it!

I will use it well!
