A Day In The Life Of Me

This is the actual time I got up this morning. It's nice having days off. 4 out of the 7 days of the week I have off.

I get out of our IKEA framed bed. With Scott gone I take advantage of the whole bed.

Everyone morning I eat my cereal and check out what's new on Facebook.

By the looks of me in the mirror I see I am in need of a shower.

I go fast because I am afraid of the bathtub falling through the floor.

I stand pondering in my makeshift closet looking for something to wear. I always complain I have no dresses when my closet is obviously stuffed with them.

Being the good girlfriend that I am I quickly clean up the room before Scott gets home.

After all the hard work I relax with a game of Beautiful Katamari

Scott finally returns after his long weekend in Milwaukee. Kitty is happy too.

We go downstairs to make lunch. It turns out someone has eaten all our pizzas.

Instead we have cereal and toaster strudels.

Scott leaves me to go to school

Its cold out so he wears his hat

He leaves me laundry to put away

I help Cevonne look for an apartment

I become quite bored

I decide to do some knitting until Scott gets back

The kitchen is a disaster area we got out for dinner. Scott seems excited.

Mmmm Chipotle

I end the night by making the little brother a mix cd

Don't let the bed you saw earlier fool you. We each sleep with our own blankets on our sides.

All in all I'd say this day was pretty boring. I promise my life is a little more interesting than this. I like the idea of this photo diary, I might start making all my posts this way.

Money DOES Buy Happiness

I got a wake up call when I realized all the loans I took out for school actually went for school. I'm only working part-time at Menards now which is just enough to pay the rent and bills. My phase of being poor wasn't really a phase, but actually permanent. I took out another loan so I would have extra cash to feed me (being poor is the best diet). I won't see that money for another month which means no time off for a Christmas break. I have to wait a few more days to find out if I even get Christmas Eve off. This is by far the sadest Christmas ever for me. It doesn't even feel like Christmas. Only one house on my street put lights up, I'm used to everyone in my whole town putting up lights. Plus we don't have a tree or any decorations and we haven't had any snow yet. I did get a Christmas present from Menards, 55 dollars in Menards money and this. In two weeks someone I love and care about very deeply will be in London for 5 months and I only get to see hi...

Backcountry Camping with Kids in Theodore Roosevelt National Park

Day 1 Back in May I stumbled upon Theodore Roosevelt National Park. I had no idea there was a National Park in North Dakota and that it was the northern end of the Badlands. Usually our summer vacations coincide with Scott's work trips. Since he didn't have any this summer I thought we should take advantage of actually taking a vacation. What, my workcations are always classics? I suppose a second real vacation this year wouldn't hurt. We definitely have more time than normal. As long as we took Covid-19 precautions and avoided people. We finally settled on a time to go. Blake joined us so we borrowed our dad's van so we could ride together. Scott had just driven from Michigan the day before. Blake had met my parents in Wisconsin to get the van and then drove from Duluth to pick us up. I offered to drive since I literally only drive twice a month. I was still pretty tired from a long drive home. Since we were near Fergus Falls we had to stop by the abandoned state ho...
