I was actually going to explain my encounter with literally the nastiest, meanest, most psychotic woman I have ever met (not involving work, maybe I will explain the situation in a separate entry...

---

A bit tired and Cori should be home soon and dinner’s waiting for him (and me). I am so sick of exploding butter in the microwave. I must not be doing it right. I had to clean the microwave 3 T...

---

So… I ended up getting someone to cover my shift tonight so I could stay an extra day with mom and dad (well, mom mostly but dad came back last night so that’s why I stayed an extra day). That a...

---

So I have Monday through Thursday off, and Cori is done with school save for a paper due on Monday. So we decided that, if the weather is “okay” (though I still shudder at the thought of having ...

---

Happy Thanksgiving, loves. I have to be at work in less than 12 hours grumble grumble At least I didn’t have to be there NOW. Work at Sephora is going well, regardless. I like it there. I reall...

---

Feeling quite homesick the last day or two after realizing I had a few days off consecutively which meant I could’ve gone back to Virginia for even just a couple days this week. I guess I didn’t...

---

So far, Sephora isn’t giving me many hours. It makes a certain amount of sense; though I assumed since I had OPEN AVAILABILITY (something retail people practically crap themselves for) I would m...

---

Ok.... Now I’m starting to worry about finances :(

---

I’m going to King’s Island (blast from the past) tonight with Amanda; she should be here in a couple hours. Some Halloween thing. Cori just left for work a few minutes ago. This is not an entry...

---

OK, so it’s not the best job in the sense that it’s not management and it’s not super close to my apartment and it messes up my plans to go home for Thanksgiving and possibly also Christmas, BUT…...

---

Landlord has been repairing and replacing one of the water pipes below the building which meant the water was shut off at 7 AM this morning. He’d hoped to have it back by 4PM but here it is afte...

---

I did a bit of a temp job the first three days of the week. Only $8/hour for 18 hours of work, but it was only a couple miles away and not bad. Cori got paid yesterday so today we went grocery ...

---

Cori and I had a talk last night… it’s been a hectic week but we had a couple hours to unwind so we just laid on the futon and talked. Of the many topics we spoke about, one was kids. Every time...

---

So I may have a little bit of temp work lined up… I also may look into something different like dog-walking in the area. I really wish there was a way I could work with dogs but not have to do i...

---

I feel like I always mess things up. Kind of in bed about to cry right now, due to my own… Whatever it is. Lack of confidence ? Embarrassment ? Self-deprecation ? That is all. ~Rachel

---

Woke up this morning and watched Francisco for about 3 minutes… No movement at all. Left him a bit, came back, nothing. Fished him out with the net… Nothing. Had him since a little before Thank...

---

Francisco has been laying on his side on the gravel for the last 26 hours or so… still breathing. I wish he would just move on, I feel like he’s starving or suffocating to death. I plan to bury ...

---

Life with Cori has been awesome. Still looking for work; job market seems to be the same (at least for me) here in Cinci, except that I've actually had 4 interviews--2 retail and 2 office intervi...

---

We are settled. After a week and a half we finally have internet. So far the apartment is working out well and living with Cori (so far) has been great. Thank GOD we got this apartment though-...

---

Today looked the best, weather-wise, and it was. So I drove back from Virginia. I'm at Catie's today in Dayton then I'll go to the apartment in Cinci tomorrow and maybe do two trips. I was plan...

---

Drove out to Virginia on Saturday... drive was fantastic. Not sure when I'm coming back--I obviously have to be back on Sunday since I'm flying out Monday evening to Minneapolis but the weather ...

---

Tomorrow I officially take possession of the apartment, but I'm not really going to be staying there overnight until Cori gets in in 2-3 weeks. I also wanted to look for mattress sales (it being...

---

We got the apartment !!!!!!! I can move in on July 1st and start planning and all that :) Then I can find a job...

---

E-mailed Mike (landlord of the 4-unit building in which he also lives that I would really like to rent near UC) and this is what I wrote : "Hi Mike, sorry to be a bother, but I was just hoping t...

---

I'm getting push-back because of the fact I say my boyfriend is going to be the second tenant. Discrimination much ? (yes, I know landlords can kind of be picky and this isn't actual discrimina...
