It's been about two months since my last post. I've basically been trucking along, doing a lot better now than I was this time last year, probably thanks to Cymbalta, Summer sticking around until this weekend, and not working in the Picking department. There was one week where I was miserable because I was dizzy the entire week, possibly due to the Cymbalta(?). Oddly enough, it started when I came in to work on a Saturday to work half a day of voluntary overtime, and ended the following Friday after leaving half a day early and taking a brief nap.
Everybody at my work got an increase in pay, mine jumped from $10.50/hour to $11.75. That made me a little happy since it meant I'd be making more than I made this time last year, and I'm now just a dollar under where I was at when I got laid off. This also means that looking to work somewhere else is pointless unless I can start at $12 to $13/hour. The bad news is they only top out at $12.50, or $13 if you work the night shift.
After last year's Halloween week fiasco, I'm taking Halloween night and November 1st off so I can enjoy my damn Halloween weekend. I don't plan on doing a damn lot on Halloween except watching horror movies. I'm also taking my birthday and the day after that off. Man, I wish my birthday was closer to Halloween so it would be easier to take a week off.
I can almost say that I've gotten tired of spending money, and I'm kind of weary from four and a half years of driving back and forth to Louisville with no place to stay overnight. While I can stand to get new glasses or have a tooth looked at, I figure now is the time to start saving money so I can finally move out.
