Day 68: March 8, 2016

It was another beautiful, sunny day here in Michigan. 

It was also super humid, to the point where I was hot and uncomfortable and couldn't cool off

After days of perfect weather, I finally convinced Ant to go for a walk with me. It was only a block to the 7-11 to get Slurpees, but it was definitely worth it. 

Day 67: March 7, 2016

It's been amazingly warm this week and I am loving it.

Today, we had the doors and the windows open. The dogs laid outside in the sun. Anthony took his computer outside and used the air compressor to clean out all the dust. (Weird, but a big deal that it was warm enough for that.)

Hopefully this warm and sunny weather stays!

Please ignore the lovely trash can in the picture. It's the door that counts. 

Day 66: March 6, 2016

I started my new schedule at work today. It wasn't very bad except for the fact that I had to wake up at the butt crack of dawn since the buses don't run as often on Sunday. 

I'm really liking this 9:30-6 thing. It's a lot more mellow at work, whereas with my old shift, I came into work in the middle of the day when everyone was at their most active. It's pretty quiet for the first couple hours, which is nice. 

The weather is getting warmer and I'm hoping that will hold out for a couple days while I adjust to my new bus routine. 

Also, it's strange to eat lunch at a normal human time. Weird. 

Day 65: March 5, 2016

I was waiting at the bus stop today, with more snow coming down yet again. I looked down and this perfect little snowflake landed on my lunchbox. 

I've never actually seen a snowflake in a shape like that before, and it was a really amazing thing to see. 

Day 64: March 4, 2016

Today was babe's first time getting froyo!

Everyone in this stupid town, aka my hometown, has this thing against froyo. They're most of a Coldstone crowd. I also get a lot of weird looks when I say froyo. 

However, they did put an Orange Leaf right near me, and I finally convinced Anthony to go with me. I was definitely more excited than he way, but he still loved it. 

I'm especially excited about my Orange Leaf loyalty card! Every dollar spent gets you a point, and every 10 points gets you a dollar off. 

We can clearly see below which bowl is mine and which one is Anthony's. I'm obviously a froyo pro. 

Day 63: March 3, 2016

Another successful day off in the books. 

I spent a little while being an adult. I was on the phone a lot with debt collectors to set up payment plans to try to get all of my past due bills taken care. That was stressful, mostly because it's so hard to get through the automated phone system to actually be able to speak to a real person. 

But after that, I did fun things like get Starbucks and go grocery shopping. I finally let myself buy the Angry Orchard that I've been craving for months. 

It was nice to be able to end my day with my favorite hard cider and some good tv. 

Day 62: March 2, 2016

This is me trying to get my life together. I'm struggling, y'all.

I got my schedule changed at work. Again. This is the fourth different schedule that I've had in two months. This one was welcomed, but that was with the hope that it would make my commute easier. But of course, with my luck, it made it more complicated.

As I've said before, I take the bus to work. It's not a bad commute, but it's clearly not ideal. I have to walk, or get a ride from my parents on a good day, a mile to the bus stop. It's then an hour-long ride to the end of the route, where I then have to get off the bus and get on another bus. After that, it's another 30 minutes to work. This is all for a trip that only takes 40 minutes by car.

With this new schedule, I will have to take up to three different routes throughout the course of one day. These sticky notes are me trying to figure out my trip to work and back for every day of the week.

It's stressful and I sure am struggling, but I'm just trying to make it through.
