quick update.

so here's the latest...

my store manager (boss) is no longer with the company. so i was trying to run the store for weeks. i've never been good at doing two people's job in 40 hours/week.

found our my paternal grandfather passed away... almost two weeks after it happened. my dad didn't tell me or invite me to the funeral which was in grand prairie. he still hasn't talked/called/emailed/texted. found out thru the gossip mill that he did, however, bring his fiancee... so i lost a grandfather AND a dad. excellent.

my transmission went out in my car on the drive home from work @ 12:30am last friday night. i coasted into an aparement complex a block from my house. i got to push it into a spot all by myself. after getting it towed, renting a car, etc.,etc.,etc... it'll be $3500 to fix. also excellent.

i transferred to the southlake store to cut back on my commute. my drive went from an hour each way to 20 minutes. i'm still trying to learn names/faces, but i'm excited to be there.

grandma had a health scare tuesday - chest pain, an ambulance ride and a night in the las colinas medical center later, she's back home. but the 24 hours of stress/worry added at least a couple of grey hairs (to add to the hundreds that are already there under the cover of hair dye...)

hoping june turns out to be a decent month. we shall see..............

Hey there Mel,

Hadn't checked out your blog for a bit and saw some of your notes. Sorry to hear about your grandfather - there are never any words to ease that sort of pain. I am also sorry to hear about your dad - I hope that things turn out better for you there...wish there was something cool, or smart or snappy that I had to make everything have a good outlook in regards to that.

I really hope that you are happy where you are. I don't look too often on Facebook, but when I do, it looks like you are doing fairly well; but I have to wonder if you are REALLY happy. I remember reading some of the letters you sent to me on the mission and how I could feel how you were. I know everything is so surface level now. Don't know if that is because I have lost touch and not paying attention or whatnot, but I really hope that you are happy. Please give your mom my hello.

Have a fantastic day.
