Ugh...

Another long week, and I had to talk to my mentor about my plans(not sure yet, they were trying to get me to move to a non license program since I'm going to Japan next year, but I'd have to do all the Pre-DT stuff(and classes) all over again when I got back since they would no longer apply. Sigh....Really don't want to just have the degree, I want the license too.
Work's still been crazy, and sub jobs haven't really calmed down either.  But the possible place I'm going in Japan is Fukashima(if I remember right).  Should be fun.
Donated blood today, first time in over a year thanks to getting anemic last year.  The finger prick decided to bleed through the first bandaid and nearly got everywhere.  Meant the poor worker had to clean my hand and the desk area before replacing the bandaid.  The donation part went well, but after I remembered that I'd completely forgotten my lunch bag at my sub job this morning.  So I didn't get home until well after 3 since I had to run back there(praying and hoping there was still someone there)and get it.  Then break a huge prayer of thanks with a sigh of relief.
Downside to donating means no strenuous exercise, kind of kills any rent work for the day(sigh...)and makes me get tired a lot faster just doing anything a little exertive...

Teacher Voice...

My coworkers have decided that my being a part time substitute(and teacher in training so to speak) gives me what they are calling a teacher voice.  Not that they tell me what that is...My dad says it's a loud and authoritative one without yelling.  I know I can get a classroom's attention without having to yell now, but I don't know that it qualifies as a 'teacher voice'.  It helps with half off pastry night though.
Need to stop taking so many sub jobs, seem to not have time to sleep any more.  At least it's fall break so I can't (not that I was going to anyway) get anymore this week.  Good thing too as either my allergies kicked in or I caught a cold yesterday.  Don't want either one right now...  At least it pays good.
Works been picking up, got a hard freeze that killed the garden(noo...the tomatoes were finally getting ripe!) so soup became the wanted food.  Couldn't keep up for most of it, but now we're getting on top of it.  Can pick the apples now, so my mom and I (with a little reluctant help from my youngest brother) made our first batch of applesause today.
Sigh...two jobs is not fun....

It's Been a While,

since I've had a new story idea, just keep looking at/working on old ones.  But on monday I got a new idea that won't let go.  Strange thing is, it didn't come from a dream or a outside source.  Just a random thought while at work.  This time I know the main character very well, and the story, but I have no idea what the main character's name is(that's actually part of the story line).  Only have a chapter or two so far, but I want to do it for NaNoWriMo this year.  So I need to write what I've got down(not on the computer or it won't count, just on paper)that way I've got it for when NaNo starts.  I actually have time to do it this year!
Got loads of rain yesterday, so doing rent work is going to have to wait a little until things dry off.  Otherwise I'll just get wet trying.  But I need to check on the garden(haven't had time to get to it since last week)and see how the plants are doing.
Was supposed to have a sub job today that was cancelled so I have free time today.  Then I heard a teacher I like to sub for posted two jobs but they were taken already(sigh).  Might want to back off on the sub jobs anyway, getting really hard to keep up with two jobs given my main one is picking up in business.  And it's only going to increase for a while.  Holidays are coming...
