I got two new cats! When my other cat died I was obviously devastated, and every time I even thought about her I would start to cry. So to get her out of my head, because he knows me that well and knows I’d want a distraction and not time to grieve or whatever, Steve brought me a kitten when he came home for Easter. He’s a boy, first time I’ve had a male cat in a while but I like it because I get to call him “my baby boy”. Yes, I really do call him that.
The other cat came from Laura. She recently got two large dogs, and her cat wasn’t doing well with them. This kitty would spend all day hiding under a bed, afraid of the dogs. She’s almost 8 and has gorgeous long white hair. So Laura, also knowing I was sad after my cat’s death, asked if I wanted to take her. Of course I said yes! So, now I went from having zero cats, to two. They don’t really like each other though.. the girl is afraid of the boy because she doesn’t know him and since he’s just a kitten he always wants to play with her.. But I think they will be fine they just need a couple of weeks to get to know each other. I hope.
Also, Alex and Melanie are officially dating now! She was really excited to tell me about it in Calculus today. I’m pretty happy for her, cause I like Alex a lot and they make a good couple.
My first day of work was today. I was so fucking nervous I was freaking out all day. I had to be there at 3:30 so I was thinking about it all day at school. Melanie and Stella both agreed I was freaking out way more than necessary, that I’d be fine, and have fun, etc. I didn’t really care though, that’s just how I am; I freak out. I almost cut myself because I was so stressed, but I stopped myself.
When I actually got there it wasn’t as bad as I thought it’d be because I have a friend that works there and I didn’t know she was working tonight but she was! That was nice because a couple of times during the shift I could just look over at her and she’d give me an encouraging smile. We also had break time together and she introduced me to some of the other workers. I spent the first couple of hours just watching one of the managers work the register, while she explained it all to me. Then for the evening shift I did it, and she supervised and helped out. I think I’m starting to get the hang of it. I think I might actually like this job. I work again tomorrow night, still training.
I got out at 11 and went to a friend’s house for a bonfire. We talked around the fire, went and got burgers, and then watched stand-up comedy for a while. I just got home. and now I’m going to go to bed. I was going to talk in more detail about other stuff, but I’m very tired. So good night all.
xoxo,
Melanie
