It seemed all the idiots were out today. Their ages ranged from elementary school children to old men.

When I left to take ma to work, there were kids playing in the street. They see the car coming so what do they do? Walk farther out into the street. Seriously?

After I dropped ma off, I was driving through the parking lot at a very slow 8 miles an hour and just as I'm driving past a serious of parked cars, someone starts to pull out. I have to stop immediately so he doesn't hit me. I sit there and wait for him to pull out. Then he almost hits another car as he's leaving the parking lot.

On my way to pick Steve up, there were cars just scattered about, blocking intersections, running red lights. It was ridiculous. I'm lucky that nothing happened to me.

It's been windy today. I hate the wind. I really wish it would rain ... I can't remember the last time it rained. How sad.

Today the high is supposed to be 70. It's 68 right now. By Saturday, the high is supposed to be 91. I'm hoping to go over to Jake's that day so that we can go swimming.

With mom working, I've been able to take Lotus out more often again. She likes curling up under my blanket. That's the first place she goes when I stop holding her up off my lap.

The plan for tomorrow is to have Jake pick me up around 9ish and we'll be heading over to his house. I don't know how long I'll be staying. He has to work at 4 ... I kinda want to stay with him. But I have to work at 6am on Friday. I guess as long as I'm in bed around midnight - 1am, I should be fine. We'll just have to wait and see how things go.

Okay, I'm finished for the day. It's hot in this house again. I have no idea why ma turned the heat on last night. I'm about to go turn it off right now, though.

Jake surprised me at work again today. I like those kinds of suprises. When he let me know he was there {after he had told me he probably wouldn't be able to see me today} my face lit up. My coworkers probably thought I was weird because of how big my smile was. He took me home and hung out for about an hour and a half before he had to leave to get his brother home from school.

Anywho, work was kinda ehh. It was truck day so it was a given that it would not be a good day. After truck, we all took our lunches, went into the break room and chowed down on spicy sausage w/sauteed bell peppers and onions. They were tasty.

After lunch was over, I went back to do some pricing. I'm happy about that because I was able to avoid the floor work. I was also able to joke around with Andre. Something I haven't been able to do much of since he moved back into his mom's and his shifts are no longer the same as mine. It doesn't really affect me; it was just nice to actually joke around for a while.

I got to Steve's work about 25 minutes early today because I left right after I dropped ma off at work. It got hot after a while of just sitting in the car, but it's not in the 90s or 100s yet so I didn't have to deal with overheating.

Blah, I dunno what else to write. I'm off work the next two days. Who knows what I'll be doing. About the only sure thing is my chauffeurring duties. Blech.

Gah!!! I'm watching the news and we're supposed to be in the 90s this weekend! Fuck! Ugh. I hate the heat.

I'm not really sure what to write ... even though I was out for a greater part of the day.

Let's see, the day started at 10am when my alarm went off. I didn't have to work, but I needed to take ma to work. I dropped her off at 10:50am and headed over to the gym.

I didn't work out; that wasn't the plan for today. Instead I asked when Ryan would be there so that I could bring Jake in to get a pass. I still feel a little guilty for not signing up with Ryan when he's the one who helped me get my first pass. So I'm going to try and make up for it, at least a little, by bringing in someone.

I talked with Yvonne for a few minutes and then left for the store. I needed to get water and I bought dinner while I was there. It's been about a week since we've all sat down to the table as a family {because mom has been working nights} so I thought it'd be nice. I also bought a shirt and a couple other things.

When I left the store I came home, put the food away, tried on the clothes ... and found out I needed to exchange it for a different size. When I bought it, I wasn't paying close enough attention to the size and accidentally bought one size too small. So I sat for a little while, had something to eat and headed back up to exchange it.

After I left the store, again, I stopped over at ma's work. I wanted to let her know that I had bought dinner so she wouldn't buy something before she came home.

When she finished her lunch break, I stopped to put gas in the car. Then I came back home to put the chicken on and just wait out the half hour before I had to pick Steve up. Once I got that done, my driving for the day was over.

I showered and fixed dinner. Everyone came home {Lori had gone next door and Steve went to pick ma up,} we ate dinner and that brings us up to this point.

No Jake today. We were expecting it though, cuz we both had busy schedules today. Maybe I'll get to see him tomorrow after work. I hope I do. Who knows.

New Amsterdam is on tonight. I'm actually be awake enough to stay up and watch it this time. But I'll be going to bed once it's over. My shift starts at 4am tomorrow.

K, I'm done for today. Till next time ...

I have no idea why The Emporer's New Groove popped into my head, but that's where the title is from. It has absolutely nothing to do with this entry.

Jake surprised me yesterday by picking me up from work. I had seen mom's car there so I knew Steve was there to get me, but I wasn't quite ready to leave yet. When I was finally ready, I started to head up to the doors and I saw Steve drive away. I stared out the door, dumbfounded. For a minute I stood there trying to figure out how I was going to get home ... until Jake walked in the door.

It was a very nice surprise. I was pretty happy to see him there. My coworkers were showing a bit of interest too ... mostly because I kissed him when he got there.

We got some shopping done and came home. I was pretty tired so we decided not to go out. He did stay here last night, though. I was so incredibly happy. I didn't sleep very well; I kept waking up every hour or so, but waking up to see him still lying next to me was enough to keep me relaxed about waking up so often. It's a little difficult cuz he's an insomniac who's not used to going to bed until 2 or 3am. I fell asleep around 11ish. But with time, we'll get more used to each other's sleep patterns.

His mom wasn't too happy, but she doesn't know the whole truth. She thinks we went down the strip and by the time we got back to my place it was just so late and we were both so tired that he just crashed on my couch. She doesn't know that we never went out and that he slept in my room. We're taking it easy on her. I know that lying isn't the way to go, but she'd freak if she knew all of the truth all at once.

He took me to work this morning and headed home. Surprisingly he only had one message and she was still asleep when he got home. It helped with him not getting into trouble.

I can't wait until the next time he stays over. Hopefully next time I won't have to work the next day.

Anywho, work was pretty chill today. I was so involved with my work that I forgot to take my lunch. By the time I realized it, it was bascially too late so I just asked if I could clock out half an hour early. I did so, talked with Yvonne for a minute, bought a few more items and then left.

I have a new necklace. It's fake, but it still looks nice. It's been a long time since I've worn a necklace so it looks a little odd. Oh well. People will get used to it.

I don't know if I'll be seeing Jacob today. I hope I do, but I'll be alright if I don't.

K, I've got another blog to write ... it'll be PWP. I shall write on this name probably tomorrow.

I'm still very unsure about Arby's food, but the line at Subway was almost out the door and I didn't feel like waiting. Arby's was on the way home so we just stopped there.

I had a beef & cheddar sandwich ... now I just sit and hope I don't get sick like last time. Food poisoning is not fun.

Before we went home, we stopped at the gas station to get something to drink. I bought a Fuze and a Sobe Life Water. The Life Water is tasty. I think I might get some tomorrow before work.

I was up fairly early this morning. Earlier than normal for when I have a day off, but I needed to go out and get stuff done. Ma and I got our checks {mine first, then hers,} went to the bank to cash them and payed off a couple of bills. Then we stopped at Jack in the Box so she could get breakfast. I got a sandwich ... I need to stop eating fast food.

We came home and I layed down to rest for a while. I dozed off for about an hour, but my phone woke me up. It was alright though, because I needed to get up soon to start my chauffeurring duties.

My chauffeurring went as follows: took ma to work at 4pm. Picked Steve up at 5pm. Picked Lori up at 5:45pm. Then we stopped at work and went to Subway and Arby's. I'm finally home and I'm in for the night until work tomorrow. I think I'll have the car.

I don't get to see Jake today, but I was expecting that. We both had too much crap going on. I don't know if I'll see him tomorrow. If I don't see him tomorrow, I have no idea when I'll see him afterwards. We haven't planned that far in advance yet. I just hope I don't go too long ... I might go through hug withdrawls.

Yeah, so that's it for the day. I'll write again probably tomorrow.

It is almost 2:30am ... I didn't want him to leave. Unfortunately we both have stuff to do later today {since it's technically already Friday.} One of these days he'll stay the whole night and it's going to be amazing falling asleep with him here and waking up with him still here.

Anywho, the day was good. I woke up when I wanted, called him to let him know I was up and within half an hour, he was here. We chilled out at my place for a couple hours, surfing the net and watching vids on YouTube. Then we decided to go over to his place.

We were supposed to go swimming, but it was still a little on the cool side. Maybe in a week or so.

Instead we drove up to Blockbuster and rented Alvin and the Chipmunks. He agreed that it's a cute movie. I still can't wait until Wall-E comes out. I'm already planning on seeing that one twice. Once with Lori and once with Jacob. Who knows if I'll be going to see it a third time.

I'm not looking forward to the remainder of the day. I have shit to do in the morning {picking up my check and cashing it} and then I get to play chauffeur later in the day. I was planning on going to the gym, but ma wants the car right around the time I would have been in the middle of my workout, so it just won't work. I'm looking forward to when Steve has his car re-insured. It'll be a little easier on the rest of us.

I work Saturday; I have no idea what the rest of my schedule will look like. I'll be finding that out tomorrow when I go to pick up my check. I'm seriously hoping for some good hours this week. I need it.

Alright, I need to get some sleep. If I want to get up when I plan on it, I should probably sleep now so that I can get a decent amount of rest. I shall write tomorrow. . . or later today. depending on how you want to look at it.
