I freakin love these food delivery apps. Pulling a double by myself today. Needed food. Grubhub to the rescue. Omg soooooo good.
Rating to level is soooooo boring. Can I just pay someone to do that for me? I’m kidding. Sort of. But really, no.
Pretty sure I’m part Wookiee. Because of this, I refuse to shave every day. It’d take up way too much of my time. My boyfriend gives 0 fucks and it’s one of the reasons I love him. He don’t give me crap for it. So I shave once a week, sometimes every other week... whenever I get to it. And he’ll joke and make a big deal of lotioning up my legs for me while giving me kisses and saying “sooo smooooth.” Lol! He’s a hoot and a half.
I’m not a church person. I’m not religious really at all. But I go because my daughter likes it and my boyfriend has a church he attends. And they do give back to the community without being preachy assholes about it. So I’m making a bunch of hats to donate so they can give them out to kids and families that need them. I thought about asking to start a crochet group within the church but I really don’t feel like listening to a bunch of women go on about scripture and church things while I crochet. It’s distracting and all I want to do is argue the inconsistencies in their beliefs. Is it too much to ask for a group that doesn’t mind a good ol “stitch-n-bitch” session? Just craft and talk about random shit. It doesn’t even have to be crochet. Just a general crafts group. Bring your stuff and we can all admire different skills. Maybe even learn something new. Anything.
Jebus I need some friends... x.x
I’ve been way too lazy. Gaining weight at my new job. It’s entirely my fault. I get bored and eat. I haven’t been working out and using my tiredness as an excuse. I’m eating like crap. My blood sugar has been all over the place. Diabetes is getting worse. Last time my organs started failing so that’s given me another kick in the rear to get the ball rolling again. I've always prided myself on having pretty good will power and it just hasn’t been there lately. Fluffy don’t wanna be fluffy no more. It’s bad for me health.
I want to start a knitting/crochet charity group in my area but I’m not exactly sure how to go about doing that. I’ve got all these neat ideas but no technical know how. All of my yarn is donated to me so I don’t fee right selling my stuff. Mostly I think it’d be really nice to meet up with other crocheters and help each other learn new things while making stuff to donate. I’ve got a crap ton of scrap yarn so I’m making a bunch of hats to give to the church. With cooler weather right around the corner there’s a lot of people here that can’t afford warm accessories. I get it. I’m having to rely on hand me downs from friends atm. I’ve lost a massive amount of weight. 350 down to 165 lbs, and 70 of that has been just in this year alone. I’m busting my ass. But now nothing fits. All I have is leggings and tank tops. So I’m scrambling to figure out what fits and move funds around as well so I can maybe afford a pair of pants or a shirt here and there. There are lots of people like me. Most of those people have multiple children. If I can help out even a little, that’s a family just a smidge less cold. I’m just one person, though. Gonna need some help with that if I want to make any kind of impact in my area.
Month and a half in. Still lovin it. That might change once Peak hits. Crap ton of pilots come through. Most get cranky from the wait. The shuttles run non stop and are always packed. I’m told it’s absolute chaos at some of the other shacks. Ours usually runs pretty smoothly they said but it doesn’t stop the tempers. Our shack is pretty small. It can’t fit a whole lot of people. With them crowding the automatic doors, the doors stay open and it stays freezing in the winter. One of my coworkers said he was wrapped in an electric blanket the whole time with layers of heavy sweaters and a jacket and he was still shivering. My boss said I could crochet myself a sweater as long as it’s black and he’ll give me some extra work patches to sew on. That’s super nice of him. And I can crochet me a nice, thick wool one too. Be much warmer than anything you could find on the shelves. Gonna need those light up hooks on my wishlist. Working with black yarn is such a pain and strain on the eyes. I’m preparing myself.
Birthday was awesome. Got cake. Got drunk. My honey got me a deep red dress. Audrey Hepburn style. Super pretty. Gonna wear it on our next date night.
Some stuffy old bat just gave me 3 stars on Uber. Apparently, me breaking to avoid a guy that ran a red light made it my fault she the hit the back of my seat, not the fact that she refused to put on her seatbelt. I also wasn’t able to get her where she wanted to go fast enough. Like, lady... I’m following the speed limit and it’s rush hour. You aint goin nowhere fast. Also, I don’t look professional enough because of my tattoos. You ordered an Uber ride... this is my personal vehicle... it’s also not my fucking job. I’m going to dress comfortably. Some fucking people.... ugh.

I swear some people find things to complain about because they have a miserable life and want to project it on others..
A-frickin-men
i hate people like that
I cannot wait to get these stitches out. Doc put one in a smidge too tight so the skin around it is puckered and trying to heal around it. I keep moving it to keep it loose so that doesn’t happen. It’s only sore when I put pressure now. And I can bend my thumb fine for the most part. That one stitch just pulls a bit and keeps me from bending it fully. I’m afraid it’ll pop if I do. I’ve got about 5 days left before I can clip em.
I’ve been way too lazy lately, especially with having this job. So my boyfriend and I have made a plan. I’m doing charts, data entry, and schedules... he’s making the plans, meals, and progress reports... we’re hitting the gym harder and setting alarms for extra workouts at home. It’s something we both need and want to do and we’ve split the load according to what we’re both best at. He’s so easy to work with. We think alike, react alike, behave alike... he’s like the buff male version of me. It’s great. :D
Sliced my thumb to the bone today. Ended up with stitches. Washing dishes is dangerous.

Ouch ! Hope your thumb is ok !!
Well, it hasn’t fallen off yet so I think we’re good. Lol! Only thing that really sucks is that it’s on my dominant hand. You never realize how much you use your thumb until you can’t.
ouch
“Don’t they ever let the two of you leave?”
-No, Sir. We got cots set up under the desk.-
“You are just so nice to hold that door for us every night.”
-You’re welcome. It’s what I seem to be good at here. Lol-
“I just love your smile. Such a nice thing to come home to.”
-Aw. I bet you say that to all the female guards.-
“You’re probably the most polite guard here. Thank you.”
-Well I was raised in the deep south. Polite is a common middle name.-
“How are you always so happy this early in the morning?”
-Because I know I’m gonna get to see you, of course!-
These fellas keep bringing me cookies and cupcakes. I’ve gained 15 lbs in a month. I gotta stop bored snacking. 🤣
Me: I’m desperate for some junk food. Would totally do some shady shit for a pizza.
Bryan: Shady, huh?
An hour later he brings me pizza. Lol!
My training is finally done. I’ve got my hard badge. My boss calls to beg me to come in today because the regular guy called off. It’s my first time working by myself. He says “You’ll be ok. It’s just like Saturdays. Hardly anyone comes through.”
...
Bull. Hockey.
I’ve barely had a chance to sit down. As always, everyone is super nice. They don’t mind that I’m a bit slow because I’m use to doing this with 2 people. I was a little afraid of not being able to do the computer stuff but I’ve found that I actually have that down pat. Don’t know what I was so afraid of. I’ll be a pro in no time. Gonna have to have a chat with my boss though. I’ll always come in if asked but don’t lie to me. I need to prepare myself. Lol

Awesome keep up the good work is hard to find jobs let alone keep them :)>.
Thank you both. I love this job so far. I hope I get to stay here for a long while.
Awesome I bet you will
hope you make it through your shift
One of the tram drivers is getting eerily attached to me. He keeps talking about how much he misses me when I’m not here. Now, some of the pilots (men and women) say they miss my face and politeness when I’m not here, but this guy is kind of overboard about it. He’s nice enough but there’s only so far you can take that before your comments become harassment. I just wanna sit here and crochet without him undressing me with his eyes every time he drops another pilot off. None of what he says is technically wrong. It’s how he says it and the looks/gestures that accompany said comments. Nothing of which I can prove. So I get to smile and nod, smile and nod, hahaha you’re so funny!, see you later/tomorrow.
I have tonight off. I never know what to do with myself. I want to be productive but what can you really do in the middle of the night? Can’t run errands. Any major cleaning would just keep the neighbors up. I feel wired so sleeping is out. All this down time makes me want to smoke but I’m quitting so... ugh. What’s a girl to do?
Another shift started and I forgot to bring my crochet with me. 😭😭😭
Not that I really need it to survive the night but it does get awful dull here later in the week. I did remember to bring all our old shoes for the donation box though. And I have a bunch of scrap yarn that I plan to make “ugly” sweaters with. Anyone want one for Xmas? Or rather next Xmas... or for whenever really. Lol! I have so many wips it’s ridiculous.

If you’re ever in a pickle and can’t get your favorite food it’s amazing. Most of my favorite sushi places don’t deliver. Grubhub, Door Dash, and Uber Eats will all do a pick up. On Grubhub there’s even an option to round your total up to the nearest dollar amount and the change gets sent to a charity of your choice.
