So I'm happy to say that things are really working out for me. Especially now. For awhile I was pretty worried I have to admit. I mean, how can I possibly see the big picture and what's ahead right? Thankfully God can and I've been gravitating towards Him more and more lately which has helped immensely. I honestly could not and would not be this content without Him being so close.
What's been happening since my last post may not seem like much but for me it's huge! At my one job.. Shoppers.. I am now working in the post office. Not super exciting I have to admit -but- I am happy to say that I've been promised only afternoon shifts. If that doesn't happen well I'm going to be just a wee bit peeved. And of course I'll kick up a fuss. But I honestly don't believe that I'll have any problems. I have been warned however, that I would be required to work at least one Sunday a month. Not too bad. And as long as it's only one. I've also made sure that I have Wednesday nights off because of my bible study. Which I love. So I'm hoping and praying that everything will work out super well at this job. Maybe I'll get a raise?
And over at Safeway I'm starting to get more hours. Hallelujah! Sure they're all for file but really, that's completely okay. Except when I get home and I just can't sleep. Lol! My cousin has almost kicked my butt a few times already. So I have to say that I'm pretty psyched to be able to tell Safeway that I'm available so much more. And it's really great getting those long shifts because it means more money for me. And I'm really praying that I can remember everything I'm learning so that if I do ever have to work without my trainer there then I can handle it all. Gah! I should have been taking notes!! I've also been praying for a raise at Safeway. =) Hopefully that will happen soon.
What else is there to mention?? Hmmm... Well my cousin and his long-time girlfriend are finally engaged! And yes I did say finally. I think it's absolutely fantastic that they're getting married. What's even better is that it's not about making a show of it for them. For them getting married is, well, for them. And I think it's wonderful. I've gotten to know her better and better lately and I love her to pieces. So I'm glad for them.
And no I will not use their names.. Not because of who's reading this but because it's something special for them. Just 'cause I'm excited doesn't mean I should be sharing everything about them.
If that sounded like a rant I'm sorry. It kinda was. Oh well.
Oh yeah, one more thing. My cousins have a rental house and the current tenants may be moving out. In the near future.. Not sure how near that future is just yet but apparently they are moving out. And already I'm a possible replacement. Which is nice. =) And my sister, brilliant as she is, says I should talk to my cousin about possibly renting-to-own the house. Now I think that's a good idea. But I have no idea how to even bring it up with my cousin. Any ideas? I don't wanna get ahead of myself here or anything so... Y'know, I wanna maybe bring it up at a later date. But I still have no idea how I would even bring it up. Gah!
Well, that's all for now. So I'll be off. =)

More big things
How can so much crazy stuff happen in such a short period of time??
I don't even know where to start... Okay, that's not true, I -do- know where to start.
I know this is a blog where I can write all my feelings and stuff but for some parts I really don't want to explain anything in detail. Just a heads up.
For starters I work just about every single day now. I actually had a day off today and when one job called I accepted a shift. Lol! What was I thinking? I'm just kidding. I actually enjoy being busy. Something I don't think everyone completely understands. But that's okay.
Safeway, the place that called me this afternoon, is the job I had really wanted to get. When I applied I asked for a position called File Maintenance. And this position has shifts that start at 4am and end at 12pm. There is also a once a week midnight shift. Yeah, yeah, I'm crazy, I know. Anywho .. When I was hired I was told that they wouldn't want to put me into the File position right away. So I started as a cashier. And guess what?! After one month I'm being moved into File!! You shoulda seen my sorry happy dance. =)
Unfortunately right now my position in File will most likely be only part time. Major bummer I'm thinking. But after Christmas there's a lady in File who is going away for a while because she's getting knee surgery. I hope she does okay and heals quick. But at the same time it makes me glad because it would mean full time hours for me.
Full time hours would mean my days start at 3 am and end no later than 10 pm. Gah! No life! Lol!
What else is new??
And because of this major position shift at Safeway I've been talking with my managers at Shoppers. Yes, I have two jobs. I think I mentioned it in my last blog post. *pokes it* See? There it is. Alright, where was I? Oh yeah! I've been talking to my manager at Shoppers and she's all excited for me that I'm getting into the position I want and that it's gonna be full time. She was worried that I wanted to quit at Shoppers though. Good grief! Of course not silly! =)
What's going to happen at Shoppers is that I'm going to get bumped over to the post office. So that means shifts from 3-9 only a few days a week. I have to make sure it's only a few days though. I really have no desire to become a zombie. *drool*
Another thing.. A super nice couple from church here in town have a young adults bible study in their home and I can go! =) I was so excited when I was invited! See this meant that I would meet people my age and that have the same faith as myself. And it was a great night. Sadly I haven't been able to go since the first night. But... I'm going tomorrow!
I'm going to have to go over my availability with Shoppers and tell them that Friday nights and Wednesday nights are completely out. I have no desire to skip something so good for me like this bible study.
And I've been super lazy and still have not gone to the gym like I should. Ugh! So of course I feel like a potato ... One of those couch ones. So I'm going to do my best to get my job hours all nice and regular so that I can make myself some kind of day-to-day schedule. I desperately want to get into shape and be healthy.
And this is the part where I won't go into a lot of detail. I'm -not- staying at my friend's house. Things didn't work out and that's that.
I am kinda dividing my time between my grandparent's place and my cousin's place. I was super grateful when my cousin offered me her spare room and I honestly cannot thank her enough!
I'm also so glad that God's been so close and has been basically holding my hand this entire time. Man have I ever needed it. I've been homesick and ready to give up.. After only a month. But thanks to Him I'm holding strong and I know I can make it.
I'm hoping to be able to afford an apartment within the first few months of the new year. So I'm going to have to start doing some driving around town to actually find some apartment buildings. I have no idea where any even are. And I'm praying that I'll find one pet friendly within my price range.. Whatever that ends up being.
I think that covers pretty much everything for right now.
So, um, please pray for me if you can.
And I'll try to write again soon.
