Blast from 2003 in 2014
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…...
Unbridled Emotions in 2014
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...
Temp Work, Flu Shots, Sephora & "Krogers" in 2014
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 ...
Thoughts on Adoption & Kids in 2014
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...
Update on Life in 2014
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...
Always Broken in 2014
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
RIP Little Francisco in 2014
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 After Francisco... in 2014
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-...
Calm Between Storms... in 2014
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...
Back in VA in 2014
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 ...
New/First Apartment in 2014
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...
EEEEEEE !!!! in 2014
We got the apartment !!!!!!! I can move in on July 1st and start planning and all that :) Then I can find a job...
Don't Want To Jinx Myself... in 2014
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...
New Problem in 2014
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...
Worst Thing Happens... in 2014
Cori got fired. Sooooo... Yeah. As if I needed to be more stressed out, now I'm trying to find a place for July. And we will have less upfront money. And I wasted $220 on a plane ticket for Augu...
So... saw some apartments today... Beyond smelling like rancid milk and dirty gym socks, beyond mold all over the place, beyond not even being able to see 1-bedroom units and being given a bunch...
Suddenly I don't know what to do. I don't know what sort of job I ever thought I could get, and I don't know how to apartment hunt, and I'm already getting frustrated because I've tried to conta...
Here I Am... in 2014
In Ohio. Drive was fantastic--sunny, blue skies, no clouds... Didn't leave until almost noon. Mom tried not to cry. I told her I'd try to visit within the next 6 weeks, so it won't be that lo...
Preparing for the big change... in 2014
I've still been a little down, emotionally, regarding the subject matter of the entries I posted in that third "book" I created here. Gonna take a break from it, even though it's still there. A...
Home/27 Years Old Today in 2014
Made it home by 6 pm. Logged nearly two whole days of driving since May 14th. Nearly 3000 miles. I'm too tired for more details. I guess driving for 22 hours over the last 3 days gave me a lo...
Graduation in 2014
Cori's graduation was amazing, the weather was gorgeous, I looked surprisingly nice in my dress, and while Cori got to sit next to his friend Patrick during the ceremony, I went with his friend J...
All I'm gonna say is I made it to Minneapolis around 6pm... I was ecstatic to see Cori, and although he went off to work tonight (though he has the next 3 overnight shifts off), the last 5 hours ...
