My longest blog yet!! But what do you expect I’m a working gal now!
My favorite second hand store Mercy Warehouse has become increasingly popular. Joe has credited this to inflation, and by golly i think he is right! Our house is now worth 800k. We bought it for 705. Which is shocking to me. We've had the house for five months! I feel immensely grateful to have been able to buy something and have my name firmly printing upon it.
But I can't help but feel like my two million dollar dream north tustin house is getting farther out of reach. Or at least the treadmill incline has gone up a few notches.
I've gained a new trait. Speaking of houses and me being grateful. Joe and I lost our jobs in the same month. THE SAME MONTH!!! Right after we bought a house. Right after we finally bought a car that's reliable. Right after we got a momo! Yet I believe that it's going to be okay. That's faith. The very thing that I always judged is judgy christians on. (I need to stop judging people) (I need to stop gossiping) (I need to like who i am). In a way it's kinda nice. Since Joe is Canadian and has to have specific papers to work. I've been the main provider. Ironic since before that I was a “housewife”. But it was boring, and i hated cleaning.
Today I woke up at four. Most days that I work I wake up at four. In the AM!! I make minimum wage, but I get to high five happy women. I run their instagram account. It's kinda fun, and there is something nice about being exhausted.
today one of the classiest ladies at my gym asked me to babysit her kids.
After my double shift today, I took care of a man in his 80s. He lives alone. I cleaned his house for two hours. Made him dinner. He had dog hair everywhere. Literally. It was like there were rugs throughout the house except that the house had tile.
Yeah that's right I have two jobs! And today one of the classiest ladies at my gym asked me to babysit her kids. So maybe at the end of the week I'll have three jobs.
My second job is working at a care agency. We basically visit people who can't take care of themselves. I already feel myself becoming a better person. No joke. You realize that getting old is actually the worst thing, and it's slowly moving towards you. So chin up and enjoy the rest of whatever time you have left.
So yea now i'm working, and all because I want to keep my house. I'm going to leave you here with the only thing i've always wanted to tattoo on my body
"As God is my witness, as God is my witness they're are not going to lick me. I'm going to live through this and when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again. No, nor any of my folk. If I have to lie, steal, cheat, or kill, as God is my witness I'll never be hungry again."
