Are you
kidding me? Yes. Obviously, LJ, you do not know how lazy I am.
Been meaning to update the last few days, buuuuut, one, I kept forgetting (work is a good prompt for updating because it gives me something to do) and two, nothing overly exciting has happened.
Sierra, Atticus, and I went to my mom's work for a while. She works at a newspaper, kind of... supervising the people who insert the ads into newspapers. And she does some delivery routes as well. It smells of ink and sweat there... but it was nice to see Mom for a while. I need to make more of an effort to do so, but it's hard when she lives an hour away and gas is so expensive.
I've been going to my grandma's house the past few days to hang out and finally got help to move her sewing machine into the living room so I could give it a go with my first ever attempt at sewing. Well.... I still kind of fail, and everything was over my head and I swear I jammed the machine about 90 times, and... the machine itself is about 10 years older than I am, BUT! I managed to begin sewing the first part to the costume I'm making Maria for Halloween. I feel a little bad, because if it turns out shit she'll have to find something else, but I feel making this for her, which won't be for anything serious, is a good... opening experiment to me to the world of being a seamstress. Still not sure if it's for me or not, yet.
School starts on Monday. Still have no money for textbooks, and don't seem to be looking like I'll be getting any... And still have three more payments for the semester, and still need to pay off the first one which I charged-- oh God, let's not think about this, it's going to just stress me out.
I work today. For the love of God, I hope some phones go out. I need the commission. ;_____;
