This is pretty much my personal diary where I can let things go and ask for advice

May 10, 2021 Monday

I’m sleepy. I got enough sleep last night but I’m sleepy already. I’m just gonna write and the get ready for bed.

I filed my taxes today! It only took about an hour to do and I’m supposed to be getting back $2,228 which is the most I’ve ever got back, so that’s cool. Let’s see how long it takes to come in. I signed up for direct deposit so we’ll see when it shows up.

I made my business cards and ordered 500 of them. 500 is the recommended amount for small businesses and it was only 30 bucks for 500 of them so I said why not and just bought them. They make you pay for shipping though and the cheapest option is $6.99 🙄 so in total I’m paying $36.99 for my 500 business cards. I wanted to work on my website too because I want a place where I can list all my services and put info about each service underneath it, but you have to register a domain and it says you have to pay for the domain yearly and you have to upgrade to the version of square that allows you to use a personalized domain so that’s 2 things I have to pay for yearly just for the website. I selected the cheapest version of Square that would allow me to use a personalized domain and it’s almost 200 bucks for the whole year. That may not seem like a lot for a whole year, but for someone who doesn’t even have any clients yet that sure is a lot of money to put into a website that might not even get any views in the first year to make it worth it. Ima gonna look at Instagram and Facebook and see if they have anywhere that I can list my services at.

In class tonight I started my application for my facial specialist license. None of us can submit it until Wednesday because that’s the last day of class and that’s the day that Mrs. Murphy will give us our approval letters to attach to our license applications. I also tried signing up for the chemical peel class that they’re gonna have in June, but it’s $72 and from what I saw I can’t even register for the class without paying. The page tells you the price and then it says “checkout”. No register button or anything so I didn’t sign up because I have a lot of stuff to pay for this month and I don’t want to pay the $72 bucks right now. I just wanted to register so my name will be on the list and I’ll have a spot to pay for next month 😕

My mom’s interview got moved to tomorrow because an emergency came up with the staff so I’ll check on her tomorrow night and see how the interview went. If it went. Oh yeah, I wanted to get a back facial today because I have a bump that’s been bothering my back since Thursday so mrs. Murphy announced to the class that I need someone to volunteer for a back facial and Julie volunteered to do it. At first I thought we were on the same page and she was going to do a facial on my back, but then I saw she had the wrap and robe in her hand so I thought to myself “I think she’s going to get dressed instead of letting me get dressed” and sure enough she went to the bathroom to change. I wasn’t gonna tell her that she was supposed to be rubbing my back and working on me, because clearly she’s excited for this facial, so I just sucked it up and did the facial on her and I finished setting up the tray while she was in the bathroom. I did tell my teacher though that I think our communication got crossed and I explained to her what’s going on and she said “well tell her tomorrow it’s your turn and she has to do one on you” but I can’t do that. I can’t tell someone they’re GOING to do a back facial on me tomorrow. So I didn’t say anything about it, but then halfway through the facial mrs. Murphy asked “is she going to do one on you tomorrow?” And I said “oh I didn’t ask” and Julie said she’s fine with that and doesn’t have a problem doing that so as long as Julie doesn’t forget I should finally be getting my back facial tomorrow 😁

My period started today and this is the first time since January so we’ll see how it goes. Hopefully it’s not bad and it’ll end quickly.

Goodnight,

Jazz

May 9, 2021 Sunday

Okay, so today is Mother’s Day and I am tired. I just spent the last 5 and a half hours outside grilling and then I brought my stuff inside and was nice enough to wash the dishes, even the ones that weren’t mine. I just want to lay in bed now and do nothing for the rest of the night. I think ima just watch some tv for the rest of the night.

So yesterday evening there was no change at all. Jorge never hung out with me or said a word to me until I was already halfway through my nightly routine and then he only talked to me for a little bit before he went back to his Xbox and I continued with my routine. This morning I woke up at like 8:30 which is when he woke up to leave for work and then I did my morning routine, combed my hair, and then I got dressed and took care of the babies before leaving to go see my mom and help her with her facial. I don’t remember if I said this yesterday or not, but on Monday she has to perform a facial for an interview so she asked me to refresh her and critique her. She actually did well, she just needs to remember to cleanse the face with sponges first and then apply the cleanser to her hands before she applies it. She should also remember to ask questions like “how’s the steam? How’s the temperature? And, how’s the pressure?” If she remembers all of that she should ace the interview. They already told her they like her vibe, now she just has to perform for them.

After that I came back home because I thought Jorge was gonna want me to go to the store with him to buy the ingredients we need for the bbq today, but when I got home he had already gone to the store and had all the stuff sitting on the counter! I’m surprised he went without me! Yesterday I told him we should go to the store because if we wait until Sunday it’ll be PACKED, but he never answered (another form of him ignoring me yesterday) so I said to myself “oh well, it’s not my mom that wants the bbq so i don’t care). So today when I saw he went without me I told him “I’m surprised you went to the store without me” and he said “yeah cuz I didn’t know how long you’d be and it’ll get packed the later in the day it gets, and I was already out so I just went” (he was working this morning). He was playing Halo during this so he asked me what was i going to do so I told him I guess I’ll just play Animal Crossing until he’s ready to start cooking and he said okay so that’s what I did. After I finished playing Animal Crossing though I was feeling a little sleepy since I didn’t get enough sleep so I walked over to jorge’s desk and told him I wanna take a nap and he said okay so then I told him to wake me up when it’s time to start cooking and he said okay so I went to bed and fell asleep right away. It was an hour nap I got in before he came over to wake me up. Surprisingly I actually felt good. Most of the time when I wake up from a nap I feel groggy and my eyes feel even worse than they did before, but this time I woke up feeling great. We didn’t get started cooking right away though because I read through the instruction manual of the grill to find out what the recommended grilling temperatures are for different meats and there was none of that info in there 🙄 so then I googled how to cook all the different types of meat he bought on that type of grill and took screen shots of all the info. After that we finally went outside to start cooking and by then it was 2:45 so we were half an hour behind now from when we were supposed to start cooking because he wanted to start @ 3, but it takes 45 minutes to heat up this grill when you’re using it for the first time ever so now we’re not gonna be able to start until at least 3:30. I don’t remember what time it was when we did start cooking finally, but I know we didn’t finish cooking until about 7:15. So that’s about 4 and a half hours outside grilling and then we ate outside too because his mom wanted to eat outdoors today so in total I was outside for 5 and a half hours straight today.

I also got invited to a wedding while I was out there. Esmeralda and Jose came over with their family and while we were cooking she invited us to the wedding and asked us what we would like to be in charge of. Not “would you like to be in charge of something?” But “what do you want to be in charge of?” Thankfully though she assigned us the drinks so all we have to do is provide that. Just a couple liters of soda, some packages of water bottles, and some teas and lemonades should be enough to satisfy everyone. It’s supposed to be about 100 people she said, but she also said we don’t have to worry about supplying ALL the drinks. Idk what that means, but that’s what she said 🤷🏽‍♀️. I thought it was going to be at the church in pahokee since that’s where Ashley got baptized, but she said they found a church in Wellington that has a Spanish speaking pastor and the reception was going to be at the royal palm beach civic center because it’s only 4 minutes away from their house. I’m assuming it’s near Denny’s because Denny’s address is Civic Center Way. We’ll see how it goes though. She told me I could be a bridesmaid if I wanted to be but I told her I would dress in burgundy like the rest of the family instead. She was fine with that. I might have to go shopping though because I’m not sure if I have burgundy clothes. I know I have wine colored clothes, but do wine and burgundy look the same? I’ll have to ask. Not until the wedding gets closer though.

That’s it for tonight. I wanna lay down and relax. Tomorrow does start the first of my last 3 days of school 😁 and before school I need to look into signing up for the chemical peel class because I believe it starts June 28 and I haven’t looked into it yet, and I still need to file my taxes. Tomorrow makes it exactly one week that I have left to file it and I haven’t done anything with it.

Until next time,

Jazz

P.S. we’ll see how the writing goes for the next few days cuz now that school is starting again I might not have time to write

May 8, 2021 Saturday

It’s barely 6 o’clock but ima go ahead and write now cuz I don’t think anything interesting is going to happen today. The only thing I’ve done today was the second brow session for Teresa finally after she’s rescheduled twice. That didn’t even take long at all. From start to finish it was a 45 minute process. Way quicker than I thought it would be. That’s mainly because she didn’t want me to go over the entire brow. She said she liked the way the first half of the brow came out so she didn’t want me to touch it. She only wanted me to do the tails because they’re the part that needs more color and she’s the client so that’s what I did for her. I’ve never had a client ask me to do that before, but if that’s going to keep her happy I’ll do it, and I did. After that I cleaned up and disinfected everything and then I went out to where the nail station is and I cleaned the nail station since starting next week it’s going to be mine now. I got rid of all of Stefanie’s stuff that she left behind in there since she’s not even working there. Her stuff should’ve never been there in the first place because she’s legally not allowed to work. But I got rid of all her stuff and then I cleaned out the drawers in the desk and I cleaned off the top of it and I cleaned the tub from the pedi chair too cuz it definitely needed cleaning. That’s all I did today though because I didn’t take any of my supplies with me over there. I was thinking about it but I wasn’t sure if Jorge’s mom would be there so I didn’t take it cuz there wouldn’t be any point in taking it without her there to help me clear out Stefanie’s stuff. I’m planning on going over there Thursday though so on Thursday I’ll take all my stuff and set it up.

I came home and ate some lunch cuz I was hungry and The Fresh Prince of Bel-air was on the screen so I watched that while I ate and then I washed my dishes and went on Amazon on my phone while I kept watching the Fresh Prince. I bought a couple of things that I need and then the Fresh Prince ended so I played Animal Crossing and now that I’m done with that I decided to write and then after this ima just watch Teen Mom cuz I’m definitely behind on the latest season. They already had the reunion and Teen Mom 2 is already on tv and I still haven’t finished Teen Mom. Idk how the rest of the night is going to go cuz Jorge has been playing Halo ever since I came home and he only came to hang out with me for a few minutes before leaving and he went straight back to playing. He asked me if I wanted to do something together and then he went back to doing his own thing, but whatever. Idc if we do anything together today or not. He disrespected me when I got home so I don’t feel like doing anything with him.

Oh yeah, my mom called me and asked me to give her a facial refresher tomorrow morning so ima do that tomorrow while Jorge is at work.

Talk to you later,

Jazz

May 7, 2021 Friday

Okay, so we did not go to sunrise. Instead I got a message from my mom this morning saying that we’re going to Flanagan’s instead. I had no idea what to get because I wasn’t craving anything and I wasn’t expecting to eat there so I just got wings and fries since I didn’t have anything else in mind. I got 20 wings that way I can bring half of them home to Jorge. I should’ve chose something other than fries though because Jorge doesn’t want to eat fries since he’s trying to be healthy. They have a couple of different side orders too so I could’ve chose something else like their rice and beans or whatever other options they have. Oh well, I didn’t think about it until it was too late. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Arlon and Julie were nice enough to pick me and Jessie up and take us over there so that was nice. Then they dropped me off at home and Jessie went home with my mom. Everyone ate so quickly tonight and Julie didn’t even eat her food so I felt like I had to hurry up and gobble down as many wings as I could so I could hurry up and finish. Especially since Julie and Arlon were taking me home and they were already done and had their food boxed up and ready to go.

I did my last test today and then I started taking notes and jorge’s piercing lessons and then after I already spent an hour writing notes he told me it would be easier to just take screenshots of all the notes and print them out to make a book. So that what he did and I threw my two pieces of paper in the trash. 🙄

That’s pretty much all I did today and then I took a shower and after my shower Jorge left for work and I played animal crossing while I watched the kvj show podcast on the tv. Oh and right before I took a shower I took the babies outside so that I could brush them and let them play for a little bit. While I was brushing Max I was standing near an anthill unknowingly and I got bit by an ant on my toe 🙄 so after I finished brushing him I sent them inside and I grabbed the water hose and destroyed 2 separate anthills to make sure I and the babies don’t get bitten.

After playing animal crossing I got dressed and I only had a few minutes left before Julie and Arlon were supposed to be here so I looked through the TV guide and put on No Good Deed because I’ve only seen it the day I watched it in theaters and I’ve never seen it playing on tv before so I had enough time to watch the first 15 minutes of it before Julie and Arlon got here because they were running late.

That’s it for today though. Tomorrow I have to wake up at 8:30 because I have a client at 10 to get her second session done so ima go watch Inkmaster with Jorge on his phone and then do my nightly routine.

Until next time,

Jazz

May 6, 2021 Thursday

Wow. It’s been almost a whole year since I’ve written something here. I’m really terrible at keeping a journal which is what this is supposed to be for me. I get into the habit for like a week and then I fall off the wagon and don’t find the time to write anymore after that. I’ve obviously finished glee by now but I’m not going to do a whole recap of what I’ve been doing for the last 9 months. I’m just going to start writing about what I’m up to now at this very moment in my life.

Okay, so today I finished the last two lessons of the piercing lessons including the final exam. I was nervous to submit the final exam for grading because of how the grading system is thrown off and not correct so I didn’t want to get a bad grade on the final when I didn’t do anything wrong but luckily it graded everything correctly this time so I got an A on the final 😁

After that I went to go start cooking dinner because it was already a little bit after 3:30 so I knew I needed to go start cooking if I wanted to eat dinner before going to school. After eating it was past time for me to start getting dressed so I washed my plate in the sink and got dressed after that. As I was putting on my shoes my teacher texted us and said she was going to be 5-10 minutes late because of the weather so I thought to myself “oh I guess it’s raining in clewiston” and I finished putting on my sneakers and I wasn’t in that much of a hurry anymore because now I know my teacher is running late too so I don’t need to rush. I asked Jorge to feed the dogs because their new bag of dog food needs to be opened and I don’t have time to open it. He said yeah and then told me I should get going so I kissed him goodbye and then I left. It started sprinkling as soon as I walked out the front door and the garbage people left the garbage can right in the middle of the driveway like they always do so I had to move it to the side so that I could back out of the driveway. I drove to school and it started raining harder so I turned on my lights and windshield wipers and once I got to school it was raining pretty hard and my teacher still wasn’t even at the school yet so I just waited in my car for the rain to lighten up so that I could make a run for it and just as my teacher pulled up the rain lightened up a little bit so I grabbed my mask, turned off the car, and exited the vehicle and the rain wasn’t bad at all until I passed the tree on the sidewalk. That’s when it started pouring down again so I screamed “oh no!” And ran right back under the tree for protection. My teacher saw what happened so she grabbed her umbrella from her trunk and came to me as quickly as she could and then she walked me under her umbrella to class. Idk how, but somehow my pants got soaked from the knee down. My entire body was under the umbrella, but my pants still got soaked. When we got to class I grabbed a towel and rolled up my pants so I could dry my legs and then I soaked up some of the moisture from my pants with it. I laid it on my lap after that for a while so that they could dry as much as possible. Halfway through class I waxed and tinted Shurkera’s eyebrows. I think the left eyebrow came out thicker than the right eyebrow even though I just followed her natural brow but she didn’t say anything about it so hopefully she’s not talking crap about it now that she’s home. On Monday mrs. Murphy wants to take us to the computer lab so that we can sign up with the board of cosmetology to get ready for applying for our licenses but I already did that when I graduated from nail class so I guess I’ll just sit there and wait for everyone else to finish. Hopefully after that we’ll go back to class to do services because I need a back facial. I have a bump on my back that’s been bothering me today so I would love a back facial. I didn’t get one today because Julie was the only one who wanted to do a back facial today and she wanted to do it on Bianca so I didn’t have the opportunity to get one today.

Tomorrow night I’ve got plans with mom and Jessie to go out to dinner to celebrate Mother’s Day with them. Jorge is invited too, but he’s not going because he has an appointment at that time. I’m not sure where we’re going, but I’m fine with pretty much anywhere. I think we might end up going to sunrise though. I’m also gonna go back into the piercing lessons so that I can take notes on all the lessons I didn’t get a chance to really delve in to and watch all of the videos they have posted about how to do the actual piercing process. I also need to log in to my mindtap so that I can do my own homework assignment that I haven’t even done yet. She said she wants it by Monday so I should do that tomorrow before I even start on his stuff.

I’ll try to keep you guys posted on how tomorrow goes, but we’ll see how that goes. Definitely not making any promises 🤷🏽‍♀️

glee Season 3

I’m currently watching season 3 of glee on Netflix and up until now I’ve enjoyed it, but now that I’m starting season 3 there’s already something that I don’t like. They’re bringing up Quinn’s baby. If you haven’t watched glee yet and you’re interested in watching it you probably won’t want to read this post then. If you have seen this show already don’t leave me any spoilers. I just don’t understand why they’re bringing the baby up. That was at the end of season 1 when Quinn had her baby and gave it up for adoption willingly so how come now 2 years later they’re mentioning it and making it part of the story line? Season 2, Quinn was totally fine with her decision and the baby was never mentioned once. The entire show moved on and focused on regionals and nationals which I liked. I was glad they didn’t linger on the past and they kept the show moving forward, but now they’re doing just that. Two seasons later they’re digging up old drama and starting story lines with old material. It just seems completely out of place and like they’re back tracking. And it’s not bad enough that Quinn and Puck want to see the baby, now Quinn actually wants to be the mother! In episode 2 she told Puck “We have to get full custody”. ? What makes her think she can be a mother? Did she forget that she gave the baby up in the first place because she didn’t want to be a mother and ruin her young life? Nothing’s changed about that. She’s still only a senior in high school and still has her whole life ahead of her. She’s going to graduate and go to college, start a career, she’s still going to ruin her entire life if she gets full custody of the baby now and she still has no means of supporting the baby now either. 

  I hope this story line with the baby doesn’t get drawn out and get ugly and messy because I just want them to focus on the music. Focus on regionals and finally winning nationals, not mucking up the show by having unnecessary story lines going on. 

  That’s it. I just want to get my thoughts on the subject out there. Hopefully I don’t have to do any more of this the rest of the series.

Marlon

Yesterday I watched the entire series of Marlon on Netflix and it was good. It was funny and had some of those family moments in it. I’ll be honest and say there were a few scenes where Marlon Wayans went a little overboard with the comedy, but for the most part it was a very good show. The scenes where he wasn’t trying too hard are the scenes that had me laughing the hardest just because of the jokes he had. I am sorry that they got canceled after just those 2 seasons because this show didn’t deserve that. It does deserve to keep going but unfortunately they won’t get that chance. I wonder who decided to cancel it and what was their reasoning for it?

Zachary Bernhardt

I just watched this episode of Disappeared last night and I just have to say I think his mother did it. His mother just randomly decided to go for a swim at 4:30 am and leave the door unlocked while she’s gone? Then when she comes back she doesn’t go to the bedroom to make sure he’s still sleeping? Instead she goes straight to the shower? I think that’s all very convenient for someone to go straight into her apartment as soon as she leaves to grab Zachary. She said she only went to the pool to swim a few laps and then she came back. So in that short amount of time that she was gone her son was kidnapped? I think it sounds like the perfect set up for a planned kidnapping. I don’t know why she wanted her son kidnapped but I think it’s pretty obvious she hired someone to do that for her. She even made it super easy for them by leaving the apartment door unlocked so they can just walk in. The police have questioned her and even they believe that she isn’t telling them the whole truth. They never even asked the manager of the apartment complex for any video footage from the building. I don’t know if that building does have security cameras or not because security footage was never even mentioned. At least not in the episode. I’m not even sure if they dusted for fingerprints in the apartment. Then again I could be wrong and maybe Zachary woke up while his mom was at the pool and he went out looking for her since she wasn’t home. He could’ve easily wandered out into the street and ran into trouble, which is why you should never leave an 8 year old child home alone without telling him where you’re going to be. Either way he’s still missing to this day and he’s been missing since 9/11/2000. 

 If you want to watch this episode it’s on Investigation Discovery on Demand with Comcast or on Hulu. The show is called Disappeared and it’s season 8 episode 8 titled “About a Boy”

Eric Franks

I just watched this episode of Disappeared last night and afterwards I googled him to see if there’s been any developments in the case but there hasn’t been. I saw the Facebook page his mom made for him to try to bring him home and they updated the flyer for him but that’s about all. I totally think Eric Franks was killed by Kendra’s husband in a fit of jealous rage and Kendra and her family are covering for him. I know the cops did search their property with cadaver dogs and they didn’t find anything but that doesn’t exclude them. They could’ve murdered him in a completely different area and dumped his body anywhere. What they should’ve done is questioned them even more. Questioned Kendra’s husband even more. All they asked him was if he knew Eric and he claims he had never met him even though later on it was revealed that he did in fact know Eric because he went to his motel room and confronted him. They should’ve questioned him about that incident but they never did. Then Kendra and her family conveniently moved to Florida afterwards and they were never questioned again. If the detectives were really serious about solving Eric’s case they would’ve sent a couple of detectives down there to continue the questioning and investigation. Then when Eric’s mother contacted Eric’s daughter because she wanted to meet her she told her she would appreciate it if she never tried to contact her again. That’s obviously her trying to keep grandma out of the loop so she won’t be digging her nose around trying to get any information from them. Then Kendra says she has breast cancer. I obviously don’t know if this is true or not, but I just think it’s a convenient story that she has cancer now that she’s living in a state across the country where no one can check on her and see her. If this is true that she had cancer then I am sorry that she got cancer at such a young age and passed away from it. That’s very unfortunate. I’m also sorry for the Franks family since it’s been claimed that Kendra passed away from the breast cancer before the family can get their answers. 

   If you want to watch this episode too you can watch it on Investigation Discovery on Demand or you can watch it on Hulu. It’s season 8 episode 9 titled “The One That Got Away”.

July 7, 2019

So this week has been a rough week. It started off terribly with me needing a new tire and it costing me about $200 (the whole situation is explained in my previous post). Tuesday wasn’t remarkable but Wednesday afternoon we were double booked with people trying to squeeze in with their “emergencies” before the holiday so one of the patients we squeezed in was a pug named Elvis who broke his toenail so we decided to trim his other nails first and then we would rip off the broken one. This was way easier said than done though. He started freaking out before we even trimmed the first nail so I needed to lay him laterally to see if that would help and he totally lost his mind when I did that. He peed on me and Dani like a sprinkler, scratched the crap out of my arm and made me bleed, and made a giant turd on the table. Angie had to come in and help me hold him and when Dani yanked off the nail which should be the worst part he didn’t even flinch. Thursday Jessie and I spent the morning watching The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air marathon until 2:30 when we left to go watch Spider-Man Far From Home. It was a good movie and I loved 2 scenes from the movie that I won’t explain here to avoid spoilers. I did like all of the Iron Man references too. That was the nicest day I had all week except for yesterday. Yesterday was a good day too. Friday was a horrible day. I was dreading going to work Friday morning cuz I knew a certain someone would be in a pissy mood all day and boy was I right. She blows things way out of proportion and lashes out at everybody because of it. If I wasn’t a responsible person I would’ve called out sick and claimed I ate a bad burger. My good conscience wouldn’t let me do that though cuz we’ve already been short staffed all month and I couldn’t do that to them the day after a holiday. There might’ve been too many emergency call ins. So yeah that person lashed out at me multiple times and never once apologized to me and now I have to see her tomorrow and I don’t wanna do that either. I just wanna avoid her and not have anything to do with her. I don’t have the time or space for negativity in my life so she needs to change her attitude. Yesterday Jorge and I went to Walmart to buy more dog food and I finally bought my chapstick that I ran out of like 3 weeks ago. Then we went to lunch at Beef O Brady’s. They have so many things that sound good on their menu and that was only our second time being there so I had trouble deciding what I should try this time. Last time I had their Cuban sandwich and it was good so this time i decided to try the buffalo chicken wrap with no tomatoes and we got the steak nachos appetizer and they were both really good. The wrap came with bleu cheese on the side and the buffalo sauce tasted so good it was delicious. I still have to go back again though cuz there’s like 2 other appetizers I wanna try as well. We don’t have any plans for today other than watching The Curse of La Llorona online so we’ll see what happens.

$220 Tire

I am so upset. It feels like every time I make a little progress something always happens to pull me 2 steps back. I just got my oil changed and tires rotated two weeks ago at the same place I always take my car. Last week one of my tires was making a funny noise but i didn’t think anything of it at first. A few days go by and the tire is still making the noise so I decide to check it to make sure it doesn’t have a nail. I see no nail. Saturday rolls around and Jorge and I use my car to go grab a bite to eat. He hears the noise too and tells me I should have it checked so that night when i leave his house I check the tire again and I see a giant crack going down it on the side so Sunday morning I ask my grandpa to look at it with me and he tells me I need a new tire because he does not like the way that looks. He told me it would be okay until next weekend but not to go over 55 mph with it. Even though he said it’ll be okay until next week I don’t like the way it sounds so I went ahead and got it replaced this morning so I won’t have to keep driving with it cuz that noise makes me worried and it’s very loud. So I go to Tires Service Plus in Royal Palm and I just wanted a used tire for now and I’ll replace it later when I’ve got more saved up, but the guy tells me they don’t have used tires there and the cheapest tire they have is $80 so I tell him that’s fine go ahead and do that. He tells me with the alignment and everything it’ll be $113 and that’s a little steep because in Belle Glade the total price is $80 for a tire, no extra charges. When they finally pull my car to the back to start working on it the guy tells me two of my lugnuts are stripped and I don’t know what that means so he offers to show it to me and yeah there’s no denying that those two bolts were damaged and he told me it’ll be another $100 to replace those two so I asked if that could hold off until next time because I really didn’t go there to spend all that money but he said they had to be replaced today cuz it’s a safety issue. Without those lugnuts screwed on tightly it won’t hold my tire in place as well as it should and he probably won’t be able to get my tire back on the way those bolts are damaged. So that’s another $100 down the drain and that’s how ONE TIRE cost me TWO HUNDRED TWENTY DOLLARS. I am very upset by it and every time I think about it it makes me want to cry. I’m trying to save money and every time I make a little progress something always comes up to take it away from me. I also feel betrayed because the tire shop in Belle Glade is the only place I take my car to so the fact that my lugnuts are damaged in the first place most likely means the tire shop in Belle Glade is the one who damaged it. I was just there 2 weeks ago for my oil change and tire rotation too so did they not see there was a giant crack in one of my tires when they were rotating them? And did they not notice that those two lugnuts were damaged? Did they see the giant crack in my tire but decided it wasn’t an issue at the time so that’s y they didn’t address it? Were my lugnuts damaged 2 weeks ago but they didn’t feel like fixing it so they just jammed the tire back on and risked my safety for it? I don’t think I want to go back there anymore. They do have cheaper tires than the place in Royal Palm so if I ever need another tire I’ll probably just buy it from there and have someone else place it for me so they won’t damage my lugnuts again.

Hi!

Oh my gosh I haven’t posted anything since September! There’s so much to say! Obviously it’s a brand new year that we’re already half way through. To update you on the moving yes I have moved but no his mother will not let me sleep over so every weekend I sleep over at my grandparents house and then at around 12 I go over to Jorge’s house. Sunday nights I usually get sad and cry a little bit because I’m going to miss him so much and just thinking about not getting to see him for the next 4 days is very sad and upsetting to me. Monday’s I usually wake up sad and I’m depressed for like the whole morning until things get so busy at work that I don’t even have time to think about my sadness anymore. I am also now full time at work which I wasn’t before so now I get blood money every month like the rest of the girls do. In April I went on my birthday trip with Jorge and we had an amazing time together. It was a nice change from our normal routine and we got to spend extra time together and the whole experience was great I wouldn’t change that for everything. Jorge left his job in January to focus on getting ready for the military and he ran out of money in April so since May I’ve been paying for his monthly bills. I told him I would though. He wanted to be independent and work again to pay his own bills but I told him he can’t work the weekends cuz that’s the only time we have to spend together so I would pay his bills for him so he won’t have to work for now. He’s down to 182 lbs right now and for his height the maximum is 185 lbs so technically he can go enlist and talk to a recruiter right now if he wanted to but he wants to get down to 175 lbs so he’ll have room to gain muscle mass back. Right now I had just started watching the intro to Songland with Meghan Trainor but then some visitors came over so now I’m hiding in my room while my grandpa and them talk so I decided I would download this app onto my iPad and start writing again cuz I haven’t written anything on here since 9 months ago 😱 geez time flies. It’s not even like I’ve been too busy to write I just haven’t thought about it honestly.

Moving Day

Hey. I know I haven’t posted in a while. The past month has been very busy for me. I’ve had way too much going on at once and it’s all been way too hectic and a lot to handle. Jorge was trying to lower his debt so he asked me if he could have my entire paycheck for the end of last month so I went ahead and let him have it because that job is important to both of us. However, he said he would be able to pay me back at the end of this month and then he wasn’t able to. Last Friday he only paid me back half the money he owes me so I’m still struggling with money. Then we found out that they want him to have almost everything paid off so my loan wasn’t even necessary because he still needs a $6,000 loan to pay off his debt. He knew about this a month ago & was supposed to ask his family for a loan and he still hasn’t asked anybody for help. He has until this Friday to pay off his debt so I don’t think he’s going to make it to the next phase of the hiring process cuz he’s not even trying anymore. If it were me I would’ve asked for a loan as soon as I found out that they wanted me to pay everything off in order to move on. I was very excited for this job but now that he’s not even trying there’s nothing I can do about it. There’s only so many times I can remind him to ask for the loan and everytime I remind him he says “I’ll do it this weekend” but never does. I can’t ask his family for the loan for him and I can’t go to a bank to ask for a loan either cuz they’d never give it to me. This has to come from him I can’t do anything more.

Anywho, I entitled this “Moving Day” because today was my moving day. We moved into a house in Loxahatchee so now I’m not going to see Jorge anymore. From now on I’ll only be able to see him on the weekends because I’m going to be here in Loxahatchee during the week since I work in Lake Worth and then I’ll see him in Belle Glade Friday night - Sunday. I’m off on Wednesdays though so at first I was thinking I’ll go to his house Tuesday nights so I can see him Tuesday night and then see him after he gets off work on Wednesday but he’s been complaining that he needs alone time so ima let that big jerk have the week to himself and I’ll just see him on the weekends. I’m gonna miss him though :/ him and the babies. Seeing him is the best part of my day so now I’m not gonna have anything to look forward to after work anymore. Just come home and take a shower and then I guess just watch TV or read a book on the days that I don’t have anything good to watch. I’m hoping his mom will be nice and understanding and let me spend the night at their house on the weekends that way I can spend the entire weekend with him & not have to leave him. I’m not even asking to sleep in his bed I just wanna sleep in their guest bedroom that way I can hang out with him as long as I want and not have to leave at night. & if she doesn’t wanna give up her spare bedroom for me then I’ll even sleep on the couch downstairs. I’ll bring my own blanket and just sleep down there if I have to. It shouldn’t be a problem either since she let Armando sleep there & she says she never even liked him. She claims she likes me so hopefully she’ll be fair & let me sleep there. I really hope she does.
