hi diary, how are you? i can't barely see this, lemme make it bigger. ok this is better. wow this is big and it's called x-small. hm. anyhoo so here i am. i know i said i was gonna start writing again, and yet it's been a month since i wrote last. i guess my life is just sorta busy right now, as usual i suppose. but i did lose one thing this week off my plate. my last class for my associate's degree is over. i am sure i got an "A" since i got a 100 on all ten papers. i mighta lost a few points for missing four days of class, but i'm sure i still got an "A". and now i will have a degree! (as soon as i remember to go to the college and ask for my little slip of paper! lol) i'm not really concerned about going to a graduation. i just want my diploma or whatever it is called in college, and my transcripts. so i'm proud. i am a college graduate now. of course i plan on continuing my education, but i still feel a big accomplishment to know that i do have a degree, and that it should help me make more money even if i weren't to continue, even though i plan to. yay, this is good, no? anyway so this week was different. i missed the first three days of work because i had to move out of my house. of course i've been living with my boyfriend Al for just under two months already, but i still had all my stuff in the house on post. and housing thought i was on the waiting list for another house, so they called me two weeks ago to tell me i had a new house, and i was like "well i'm not supposed to have a new house. i'm getting divorced." so they're keeping all my stuff in "permanent storage" which means it is free and the army will move my stuff to my next residence for free as well. that is cool. i am throwing some stuff away but i kept stuff i think billy will want as well as furniture me and Al can use if we have enough room. so i had to be at the house monday through wednesday because the movers scheduled three days to pack and move my stuff. which it really only took two days, but they finished on wednesday and didn't work tuesday because they said they weren't supposed to move me earlier than scheduled. but i still had to be there so i cleaned. cleaned, cleaned, cleaned. scrubbed, scrubbed, scrubbed. i cleaned that damn refrigerator. i cleaned that damn stove. geezus did i fuckin' clean. and i'm not done! i did have time to sweep and mop all the floors after the movers moved everything out on wednesday. and the fridge is done. but i still have to finish the oven. the outside is all done (even the sides and back which i pulled it out to do) and the inside is mostly done, but i didn't notice until wednesday that the damn thing has a ceiling!!!!!!!!!!!!!! like hello, what did i think was up there?! well anyhoo i looked up and noticed a very grimy ceiling to the inside of the oven. it had that black stuff all over a third of the damn thing,(i suppose it is cooked on grease or somethng, i don't know) and is that shit hard to get off, or what?! it is HARD to get off. i been spraying that whole damn oven with easy-off oven cleaner for days man. and i even went from sponges to SOS pads. and that shit still takes forever to come off. you can scrub a little quarter sized spot for ten or twenty minutes before it comes off!!!!!!!!! so imagine a third of the surface. crap. so i'm not done with that. once i'm done with that that will be good. me and al also have to take a couple pieces of old nasty furniture to the dump this weekend cuz i didn't want it anymore. so i didn't have the movers take it. and then i gotta put more trash out (just some empty cardboard boxes mostly). then i gotta clean out the inside of the trash can after the trash people come and get the last of my trash. and i paid a buddy to do the lawn. UGH. so i got some more work to do at the house this weekend. it totally sucks ass. anyways. so i guess that's my story for open diary today. more went on this week besides just that, but it could take me pages and pages to write about all of it. maybe i'll have time to write more this weekend and i'll fill ya in on the rest. talk to you later. ciao!

What a nice surprise to find your note, Gal! :o) !! You're right, as is everyone else who noted me. But I sure appreciate the sympathy. Now it's my turn... damn, I sympathize with ya 'bout that oven. Hehe, that is soooo like what I'd do, not realizing the damn thing had a ceiling! Have you tried friggin SOS pads?? I'll be home this morning I think. So I'll look forward to our phone-fest. LOVE!

Hi! I know your mom. She's a great person. And I know a bit about you already from her stories. You are a brave, strong, and lovely little lady. Congrats on the degree too, that is quite an accomplishment with all you've had to deal with.
I enjoy cleaning but to my standard. I don't think I would enjoy cleaning to a military standard at all. That's got to stink. Good luck with it though. :) [CelticCatnip]
