so it just occurred to me that i did not write the entire month of september. nothing too exciting happened i guess. nick had a week off and we went to the puyallup fair and basically just stayed home and did home improvements. i cleaned out and gutted the bedroom closet and nick helped me rearrange furniture. my aunt gave me a brand new crib from ikea since andrew's outgrowing his bed. i still need to stain it and buy a mattress for it. kinda been procrastinating on that one. i helped her with her yard sale of her daycare and brought some miscellaneous stuff to sell. didn't sell a single thing. so i donated andrew's old clothes and put the other stuff back in the shed to collect dust /:
some upsetting news has came to light this past week. my great-grandma has been very sick the last few years. in and out of hospitals. she just recently had a stroke and a few days ago she had a heart attack. her heart is working at 25% /: and she has made it clear she does not want to be resuscitated, which i completely understand and respect, but it's still very upsetting. ):
my insurance is about to run out. my parents offered to pay for it so i could still be covered but while that is very sweet of them, i have decided not to continue with tricare. i don't want anything to do with my "father." he has a daughter now and has made it perfectly clear that there is no room in his oh-so-perfect existence for me. whatever. i know who my real parents are and i am fine with that arrangement. still a little resentful.
anyway . . . .
last weekend we went to the ocean. which was a bust. ocean shores sucks. i'm sorry, but it does. and it wasn't even because my great-grandma is dying which i will admit pretty much put a cloud over the whole get-a-way. there is nowhere good to eat and everything there is to do either is way too expensive or just tired. it's gotten old. my mom did shell out for the hotel room and paid for pretty much everything with her work bonus so we did try and have a good time. we played apples-to-apples and walked on the beach and andrew had fun. i'm still hoping to go to leavenworth with nick in february. i love the mountains even more than i love the ocean. and i would love to take a train up there.
so now it is october. my birthday is coming up. along with my court date for my speeding ticket. sierra and i are going to have a date night the weekend before halloween. we're spending that saturday going to olive garden, castle and watching tropic thunder and eating raw cookie dough at her house (: and for my birthday nick is taking me to see paranormal activity three (: i'm so excited. those movies scare the absolute shit out of me and to this day i will not stay home alone at night haha. also this month andrew will go to the dentist for the first time and have his 15th month check-up. other than that stuff not much going on. i am going to try and perfect a homemade pumpkin cream cheese pie recipe. i'm going to make my own crust and use fresh pumpkin (: i made roasted vegetable beef ragout last week and everyone loved it. i also am going to try and perfect homemade salsa. i love my ninja ks (:
i've been thinking a lot about the future. sierra is helping me look into medical assisting courses at OC. as much as i dread going there i don't really have a choice in schools. i'm not crazy about going to everest and oc has daycare. we'll just have to see what happens. i still might wait to do school when andrew goes to school. theres so much to think about and decide. i also decided i am going to fulfill my goal of giving blood. i'm going to talk sierra into at least coming with me. i don't mind getting blood drawn. it's the transfusion that fucking hurt and i thought my hand was going to explode. military assholes . . . .
anyway got stuff to do. tooooodles.
