Update!

Well, after a week of training, I have finally been assessed on my attraction and passed with flying colors. I am fully trained now in the inner workings of my ride, and let me tell you, it is fascinating. I really like the people I work with, and I love living here. I have met so many wonderful people! I met a guy named Rick and we hit it off really well. And I love my roommates. They are super sweet. My work schedule is taking some getting used to and at times I am still very home sick. Like today. My sister is in labor right now, having my baby nephew, Baxter Cade Claflin, and I’m here, not able to meet him the day he is born like I was able to meet my first natural niece. Today is an easy day. I don’t work until about 6:45 tonight, so I am taking it easy. I’m waiting for my friend Bobby to pick me up and take me to the bank and maybe to get groceries. I’m about outta food and I really need to do laundry. Laundry will probably have to be tomorrow, but I need to get food for tonight. I have a few dollars, but not enough to live on for more than a few days. That kind of sucks but it’s my own fault. Just haven’t been able to make it to the bank to cash my checks. I really want my car here. That would help so immensely. I miss my baby! She is so lonely in Memphis without me to drive her! I mean I would still use the busses, but I would have my car for days like this when I have hours to waste and no bus to help me. I think I might lay down for a bit though. I didn’t get much sleep last night and I’m kind of tuckered. Love yall! Miss ya!
