April May Have Been A Bad Month But...

This month has been crazy. I've had a couple of really bad days, but also a couple of really good days. This month is always hard for me because of certain emotional things that happened that I'm not going to get into right now/ Every year it seems to be something else. My Timehop showed me today that I tweeted last year about how thankful I was for a new month starting because last April was apparently horrible too. I don't remember the exact circumstances, but I do know I was struggling at the job I was at because it was an entirely new environment for me at the nursing home I worked at. After three months I still wasn't getting it. I look back on it now and I'm in a much better place now. I love my job(s) where I am now. Sure they both keep me busy and constantly running, but I am thankful to have both. I am especially thankful for my weekend nursing home job because after what happened with me last year I thought I would never walk into a nursing home again. The residents there are so sweet, the people there are good to me, and it's not as stressful. This month was crazy with my job. I had clients move, a lot of meetings, and I still had to do my monthly stuff. As I sit here on the 28th with everything done for the month, I realized that I forgot to write this article so that's what I'm doing right now while I have some downtime. I hardly get much down-time at work anymore. I'm thankful for the job I have. I like my clients, my co-workers are great and fun, and the driving isn't too bad.

I've only been kept sane lately by the people around me. I have a great family/friends/boyfriend who support my crazy schedule. Maybe support isn't the right word, maybe more like tolerate. (haha) I spent Easter weekend with my family and that was a great time. I had to work, but other than being at work, I spent it at home with my family. I see Craig and his family when I can on the weekends I don't work. I feell like I haven't seen my friends in awhile. I see Mara occasionally. But my two other friends I haven't got to see because we're all busy with work and our respective lives. I'm trying to plan a weekend sometime in May to see them and have a girls weekend that I think all three of us desperately need. I gotta give a shoutout to my Synner girls as well in my Snapchat group chat. There's been so many nights and days where I've ranted to them about the various things going on in my life. They may not know all the backstory of the context of my stories, but they are generally supportive. They're always telling their own stories or sending funny snaps to help brighten up my day. My other group chat that I've disucssed before kinda faded but individually, we still talk, just not together in a group anymore.

The next month holds a lot, but I'll be turning 27. I don't know my work schedule as of yet because there's been some scheduling issues at my nursing home job. But I'll get through it, one day at a time.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
