Sad week

Hello all,

It is decided that we can't go to the funeral. The husbands job is in need of him this week and he isn't able to take leave. I think this is really hard on him. When he started this job, he wasn't able to be there for his mother's father's funeral. Now because he was, in a way, promoted, he is needed at work and can't make his father's father's funeral. Both his grandfather's funerals. This would be hard for me too.

This past weekend we explored the big mall. We explored for about 5 hours. We ran out of things to do since we couldn't afford much things at the time. I went looking for black stockings and black flats. As much as I am glad that I bought what I was looking for, I was not 100% happy with my flats. I am only 80% happy with them. I felt bad if I dragged my husband all over the mall just to look for the right flats. I know I should have looked around. The flats were quite expensive, even on sale. But since I got it, I will just have to deal with it.

I called the job that I applied for. I found out that they filled that position. It feels wrong. They called me the day after I applied to ask me some questions and the lady who called me said she will give my information to the boss and call me if they want to interview me. For two weeks, they made me think that I was going to hear fro them. They gave me hope that I would have an interview but they didn't even have the courtesy to call me to say that they filled the position. I don't think that it's right that some placed do that. I tried to look for another job but all the other postings are for positions that required real experience or schooling for it. For example, massage therapist, paralegal, auto shop, nail and hair salons. I do NOT have experience or knowledge of any of this and they want those that have experience in those positions. I am so sad. I can't find a job that I can excel in. It makes me sad that I can't make any money for myself.

Next thing to find other than a job is doctors!! So more to come soon.

Until next time, follow me on...

Whirlwind Hurricane!!

So much has happened since the last time I was here.

Started my office job in September 2010 and stayed there till the end of February 2012. I left my stock position in March 2011.

I also have moved. I got married and moved to another state. Things have been so strange being married and trying to be used to a new state.

The area that I am at is full of junk food joints and then there and different types of stores. I tried to explore but things are so far away. I am not comfortable driving here yet because the speed limit is much higher than I am used to. If I were to walk everywhere, I am going to be walking so much more than needed. I have google-ed directions to somewhere, driving would take 23 minutes to get there but walking would take me a bit over 5 hours. FIVE HOURS!!!!! It's insane!!

I am still looking for a job and I am looking for some friends. I was offered to make friends with my husbands female work friends or the wives of the other friends. But I don't want to do that. I want to make my own friends whom I can trust.

The place we have is full of colorful people and I'm not sure if I like them. People let the whole world know about their business, good or bad!! There is no class in the area that I am living and it is a bit different from what I am used to back at home.

I moved to a new state for a month and in our apartment we don't have much. The husband bought an air bed before he came home to marry me. Then when we got here, the first things we did was to get kitchen things so that we can eat and live. Then we looked for furniture in the living room. We still don't have our furniture. They are being delivered in a few days and I cant wait to get it!!! I miss having furniture!!

And just today... I found out my husbands grandpa has passed. I only met him for the wedding and in those few days I have come to care for him as if he was my own grandpa. He was so adorable. My own grandpa has left in 2008. I loved my grandpa but for majority of my memories with him he was sick. My husbands grandpa was sick too. But he seemed more healthy than what my grandpa look. My husbands grandpa died when his heart stopped while he was in dialysis. I don't have much information on his death or his life but he was a great man. I will surely miss him.

I will try to live life and explore what I can in a new place and share it on...
