what a horrible day at work...I am in pain. So much pain that I finally conceded and called a doctor. So much pain that I needed a half hour massage just to get through the afternoon. Then I had to go to work. I cannot afford not too. AGONY! And then when my had was shaking trying to set down a Latte, the lady at the table screeched "what's WRONG with you? Nerve Damage?!?! hHAHAHAHA" Yes, I found that intensely amusing. But then I'm not in much of a laughing mood. I'm sure there is worse pain on the planet -- I'm just being a weenie. But it does hurt.....hopefully they'll drug me up and let me work. I'd love a day off though. Maybe I'll just get another massage tomorrow before I go to work. It feels so good. I even bought the lotion they used -- coconut mango...yummy!

Well my foks have gone an a marathon trip back to Yakima to buy a house, or find a rental. They've decided they'd rather keep their current tenants in the house on Lincoln so that they don't have a house payment anymore. They loaded the car with stuff, and a U-haul trailer, so I guess they're definatly moving back. I wish they weren't, but they'll get the rest of their retirement, and a new house for which they can pay cash (almost). They'll be leaving here the 18th of august to move back...I'll be in CA until the 20th I suppose, needing to work more now that I've hurt my car. I'll be glad when summer is over...maybe -- this year is my senior year! YAY! Almost out of college. Not that I'm not intending to turn right back around and go to grad school, but I hear that grad school is far easier. Actual free time! Only a couple of classes a semester!!!! Some work study, but you also get a $600 stipend to live on. Sounds like a deal to me. I could get a real job, have time to read and sew! YAY! ANyway, I'm going to go take a shower now and take allison to her horse back riding lesson.
