• Excerpts from an Email .... UPDATE on This Life!

  I have been dealing with a cramped back muscle since Sunday morning. It locked
  up on me and is causing considerable pain but, I'm still functioning.
  

   

  The apartment is wonderful. My view off my porch/patio?
  Pine Trees, birds, feral kitties and a 'pond' of water with bull frogs! I can
  also see The Main Road - busy but, I pretend the cars are waves crashing on the
  shore ) When I close my patio door? NO SOUND. Except the occasional emergency
  vehicle and the train whistle 2 or 3 times a day.

   

  All boxes have been emptied and the place is set up like
  home. I have my table with 2 sewing machines standing ready! ) I've got every
  inch of space storing something and decorated! I've used bookshelves and baskets
  to hold my crafting supplies and there's a big closet/shed off the patio that is
  holding bins of fabric and off season clothes.

   

  We have met nearly all of our neighbors. There are 8
  apartments in each unit. The couple directly below us? Retired and home during
  the day.They have two tiny dogs.  The ladies down below and beside? Sisters,
  with 2 greyhound dogs! They brought us a huge fruit basket Sunday to welcome us
  to the area! There's a young couple who attend The Local University and another Lady
  downstairs who had her entire family here for a cookout on Memorial Day! The
  girl directly across? She works at  - the Local Hospital. She
  suggested I look online for positions and there are about 5 CNA1's right now.
  

   

  In order to apply? I have to have a current CPR Cert. So
  I called RedCross - explained how as much as I love the work they do I did not
  have $45.00 to pay for the class? They said I could have a scholarship and
  attend the class on June 7, 1 p.m. for FREE! So, I'm trying to get my back
  better BEFORE then! (SUCCESS!!!!)
  

   

  Today we're going to try to stop by the Farmers
  Market. It's a Tuesday-Saturday market and we've heard it's only one farmer
  right now. But, we're going for it! )

   

  I'll also be trying to find the Red Cross. Everything is
  within minutes of me. The mall is across the parking lot, all the grocery stores
  are within blocks - Walmart AND Kmart are just on the other side of the Mall as
  well as Lowes Home Improvement! My bank takes me 5 minutes to get to! The Hospital (where I hope to get a job?)
  Just about 5 stoplights down!

   

  Emily decided to end her 3 month courtship and agrees he is just not the right man for her.
  

   

  Saturday Em and Molly will be dancing in concert at 2:30
  and again on Sunday at 6:00. They've got a group of friends coming down from
  Maryland, VA, Indianna, and W-S to stay the weekend, so they are HAPPY.
  

   

  I'm trying to get my internet presence 'advertised' and
  also plan on applying for work as a CNA. Maybe between the two I can get back on
  my feet. I am B.R.O.K.E. right now and I HATE it!!! I am also trying to pay Mister back for the unbelievably HARD move. He really went all out. His friends are
  advising him to make things difficult for me - but, he has really shown
  character by doing for me - physically and financially!

  That about covers it .... I think .... maybe I should post pictures?
