I haven't written in my blog in about two months. I'm not sure why exactly. I guess I haven't had that much to say. I've just been working for the summer. same place different job. I haven't worked the Sports Clinic in about five years. Actually, as far as enjoying my job goes, I prefer the art department during the summer. It's air conditioned and I don't have to yell all the time. The gym is fun though. I get to hang out with my friends (just not the same ones I'd be with if I were in the art department), I get to play games with the kids, and I even get to go swimming with them! Wait. That's all the stuff I don't like about my job. It's more work, it's harder, and there's more responsibility, sort of. I don't mind any of that, I would just like to relax once in a while during the summer.

I was supposed to go away with Rich this past week. We had planned to go to Pennsylvania. To visit the Amish country and then to take a little excursion to Hershey Park. I've never been to either of those places. Well, we didn't get to go. I got sick at the wrong time. I thought it was just my period, but it turned out to br a stomach virus or a flu of some sort. I always get sick at least once a summer, but did it really have to happen now? Anyway, so we didn't go away. There really is no other time to go, so I'm stuck here for the remainder of the summer. Maybe when Liat comes to visit, I'll go away with her. The time for Rich and me is over.

So, for the past week, I've been sitting around, not doing much of anything except throwing up. Until Thursday night anyway. Thursday I went out with all my co-workers to dinner at TGI Friday's. We had fun, then separated. I ended up going to get ice cream with three of them after dinner. It was fun, a good first night back out in the world. Yesterday, I could've gone to work, but chose not to. I just went in eventually to pick up my paycheck. I ended up leaving the Y with D_______. We walked her daughter home and then she and I went to Marshall's and Target. I've never been to Marshall's. I like it! Lol. I got a bag. My second bag of the summer. This one however only cost about $25.00. The other one cost $135.00, on sale. So, I think I did pretty well there lol. OK, at Target D_______ was trying to find party favors for her daughter's birthday party on Sunday. So, I helped her. Since I love that stuff, and school supplies also, I had a good time. The only problem was that the shoes I was wearing, were really starting to hurt. So I ended u buying a pair of flip flops for $2.99. I think that was a pretty good buy. They're very comfortable.

After the shopping, D_______ and I went our separate ways. She went home, and I went to my dad's house to hang out with my little Daniel cat. My father didn't get home from upstate until after 12:00am. Danny was alone all day, so he was happy to see me. I got a slice of pizza and ate it, then I vegged out for an hour or so until my boyfriend called. We've been fighting a lot lately, so we were talking very carefully on the phone.

Anyway, my father got home eventually, then took me home.

The only other news I have to report is that my grandmother was taken to the hospital yesterday. She has pneumonia and can't breathe on her own. She's been intubated. For those of you who don't know what that means... They put a tube down her throat to help her breathe. We don't know if they will ever be able to take the tube out. She's 99 with dementia. I wish they would just let her go, stop making her suffer. *Sigh*.
