Memorial Weekend Semi-Recap

The long weekend has come and gone. Overall, I must say, that I had a splendid time in the city. Of course, it was mainly due to the absence of about half the population, thank god for holidays. I am definitely not all too excited to be returning to work tomorrow, but I won’t be terribly distraught either. I am mostly looking forward to my trip on Thursday. Would definitely like to have a nice, relaxing time with absolutely no worries. Hopefully it will be the distraction I need. Life isn’t too chaotic, but it isn’t all that calm either.

Recap:
On Friday, I had a nice time just doing nothing. Woke up Saturday morning refreshed and ready to face the world. Throughout the day, the winds were awesome. They felt like if I was in a beach town. With the streets almost empty, I felt at ease just walking slowly. Saturday night was Alona’s graduation dinner. I am so proud of her for getting her MA. Now, she can say she is a real teacher. Sunday wasn’t too shabby. Didn’t go out like I was supposed to but I still got what I needed. Monday was a productive day and yet very much of a bummer. I decided to finally buckle down and get to these damn loans. It made me a bit sad to know that I will never get out of this debt. UGH! Unfortunately, tuition and cost of living does not add up to what we actually get in life. Paychecks are very low and everything rises. How the hell am I supposed to survive? My salary is considered a luxury when compared to those across America who barely live on a third of what I make. Life is definitely going to get tougher. Who knows what’s going to happen next?

Relationships:
I pretty much have none at the moment. Yes, you have read correctly. All my lovely boys are gone. One at a time, they all just started disappearing. I can’t say that I am all too disappointed. Things like this are what I expect in life. At any rate, I must trek forward. Whatever happens in this area of my life will happen. Definitely won’t stress it too much because ultimately I have no control over it.

Family:
My mom is living it up with her friends down in the Caribbean. They are hopefully just enjoying themselves. As she asked me to, I called her, and, was she there to pick up? Hell no. I am glad though. It means she must be having fun. For my mom, it is well overdue.

Sort of feel bad about my niece. I told her we would go horseback riding and then I backed out at the last minute. I explained that due to my sudden purchase on Friday, I was unable to treat her. Shoot, I have to treat her all the damn time. Not only that, but I have to pick her up and drop her off. Little girl is eleven-years-old, she should know how to take the train already. Shoots-and-ladders, my mom made me when I was that age.

Okay, enough, I am officially done. No more ranting and raving. Time to finish off my weekend.
