I just realized I hadn't written anything in my blog in a while and I figured that it's probably due to how busy I've been lately. I'm not saying it's an excuse, it really isn't. It's just a fact. I have been busy and I haven't been making the time for things I enjoy doing. Like writing a blog every couple of weeks. So I've been trying to slow things down a bit, reduce the stress in my life by making time for the people and the things that I enjoy.
Working two jobs in two different places isn't easy, and it's a crazy stress factor in my life. I spend my weekdays in my home town working for my dad. We do construction. And yes, I'm a girl. Yes, I do construction. And on the weekends I'm in the big city working at Applebee's as a host. Having to make the transition from major tomboy to almost girly-girl is horrible. I'd rather just be who I am but it hasn't worked out that way yet.
Recently I made the decision to go back to school and train to be a server. But plans changed. Going back to school is not my biggest priority anymore. And I don't enjoy working at Applebee's anymore. It's got nothing to do with my coworkers. I think they're great. It's not because of my boss. He's been super. It's because it's become harder and harder to go in there and actually be happy about being there. Personally I believe that everyone should work in a restaurant at some point in their lifetime. If only to get a better understanding of the other side. It's not a bed of roses and quite often the people who work in restuarants want nothing more than to dump that iced tea with two lemons you ordered in your lap. Treat your server well, tip them well. That tip pays their rent.
So I'm going to be quitting at Applebee's sometime this summer or in the coming fall. I'll also be calling it quits with my dad's construction company. As much as I love my dad, and as much as I love construction I have to find a full time job here in the big ol' city. I'm actually terrified because I don't have a clue what I want to do from here on out. I've got not plans and usually I at least of an idea of a plan.
And because my dad is super awesome he's buying a house for my sisters and I here in the city while we work and go to school. So by August we'll have a house, with a yard, in a good area. I'll find a good job to hold me for a bit while I do what I really want to do. And what I really want to do is build my online business. Make it huge!
So yet again I'll be busy, but it'll be on my own terms. I'll be in one place and there will be less commuting. Thank goodness. And there will be a place to go back to at the end of every day where I can kick off my shoes and put my feet up. If only for a little while.
Also.... Because my vehicle was wrecked several months ago I've got no transportation unless I'm picked up and given a ride. Sucks. But thanks to my Mum I've already saved a bunch of money and now I'm preparing to buy myself a new truck. Not a new new truck but a new used truck. It'll be new for me in any case. I'm pretty excited.
And.... After about a year in the house I'm going to get a puppy!! I'm super duper excited because I've been waiting and waiting and waiting to be able to get a puppy. Not too much longer now!
And that's all for now... So have a good day and I'll write again soon!
