The normality of my everyday life has never felt so good! I still can't believe how intense California was for me and it was no wonder I returned home sick as a dog. Being back in Beverly has been really nice. The weather has been amazing sweatshirt-weather and the leaves on the trees are slowly changing colors. Dave has suddenly become the model husband and I've stayed quiet of all work drama. The whole Jon thing has completely blown over and no one besides Tony and V, who have been amazing, supportive friends, have any idea what happened.
I've been working a lot. As soon as I arrived home at midnight, I went to bed and woke up bright and early to start my work week. We've hired a new guy and he is really nice! I'm definitely glad to turn a new page in the Ferncroft and I'm excited the dramatic summer has finally ended. I'm still thinking about getting a second job, but I'm waiting to see how my paychecks look now that we are entering fall. If they aren't too bad, I might just enjoy my free time for awhile and get involved with some more hobbies. I'm definitely getting more into pilates and it's been a nice workout! I haven't been drinking much since that horrible night, but the new fall beers are out and I am looking forward to having a nice glass of Shipyard with some caramel and brown sugar along the rim.
As for my mom, she seems to be doing better. It has been a week since she has been off of the Norco's and she says her head is finally starting to clear up. She keeps telling me how thankful she is that she has me and that I came out there and gave her the help she needed, so I am glad the anger is put aside and she is finally realizing I only want the best for her. She says she applied to Walmart, so that should be interesting! I hope she finds something to occupy her time! Her moving out here is still up in the air, but they are definitely still coming to visit at the end of October. I am thinking she might come live with me for awhile the beginning of next year when Dave goes off to tech school.
Anyway, I am just enjoying the peacefulness of my life and am truly glad I experienced what I experienced last week so I can be THIS much more thankful for what I have over here :)
P.S. TEAS exam on Monday! I have been studying and pretty much aced the math part on both math practice tests so I am so glad it isn't as hard as I thought it would be! I need to just push through the science and brush up on the reading since that is the section that surprisingly I got a lot wrong on the practice test. (Stupid questions that I over-analyze and make myself believe every answer could be the right answer in some way!). But basically I am as prepared as I am going to be and I am just crossing my fingers my test anxiety doesn't fuck me over and that I actually do good on this major-life-changing-test!!! Wish me luck :)
