It's been over 2 months since I've updated...a lot has gone on since then...I've been to, like, 3 concerts since then (mc chris, the National, and Meat Loaf), all with my awesome boyfriend Alex. I have the best boyfriend ever. I really can't stress that enough. He's amazing. Next week is our 6-month anniversary ♥
I've finally got the Bon Jovi concert coming up on Saturday! I bought my ticket, like, 10 months ago, haha. I can't wait!!! Then next Saturday I'm going to see the Gaslight Anthem with my Alex! And the day before that I'm going to a reading/signing for Carl Hiaasen's new book! He hasn't had an adult novel since 'Nature Girl' which came out like 3 or 4 years ago, so I'm excited! And I'm way psyched to meet him :D
I'm still out of work, it's been nearly 4 months. Ugh. I'm hearing we're supposed to open back up in August but I dunno when. I hope it's soon! I'm going nuts. My family is terrible. I can't deal. My dad still won't get a job, my mother works two and takes all her shit out on me...I can't do this. I finally got my permit so once I get my license I am getting a car and an apartment and I'm getting the fuck out of here and never looking back.
I only have one good thing in my life, which is enough to balance everything out for now...I don't know how much longer I can last.

stress kills
Today was a bad day. My life is stressing me out to the point where if I didn't have my amazing boyfriend, the one good thing in my life, I would probably kill myself.
To start off with, my mom's car got repossessed a few days ago and she was told today that unless she pays about $1500 by the end of the month, they'll sell it. Obviously, we aren't getting it back. Add to that my dad's unemployment payments stop next week. Tuesday is when he'll get his last check, and we don't think they'll extend his benefits again since they already did it once. So we will be living on my mom's and my own part-time paychecks. I make about $130 a week, she makes around the same. We can't pay bills with that. We can't pay bills now with my dad's unemployment money coming in. We are extremely close to losing the house, and when that happens, I don't know what I'm going to do.
In addition to all of the stress going on at home, work has been hell this week. I had the most major markdown of the year, slippers and boots, which take up about 1/3 of my whole department. I had to mark everything down, and count it up, by myself. In 20 hours a week. In addition to ringing a register, cleaning half the store, maintaining my department, doing returns, price checks....it is impossible. My papaerwork was supposed to be finished and handed in by tonight and needless to say, it wasn't done. I broke down earlier, my shoe-boss felt bad for me. I was crying, blubbering, hyperventilating. She, surprisingly enough, realized I have anxiety. I guess her kids have it so she sympathized. It didn't make me feel any better about not getting shit done, though. No matter how much or how little work I have, I feel bad about not completing it. I feel like I'm not doing my job.
So this week has been just fucking peachy. The only highlights were the Ataris concert on Sunday (I met Kris Roe! *fangirly squee*), "Alice In Wonderland" on Monday, and video gaming on Wednesday. Andthose things would not have been nearly as fun and awesome had my love not been there. I don't know what I would do without him, he is the only thing holding me together right now.
I suppose that's all for now.
