Local Color

So it's Sunday in Mississippi which means most everything is closed for the day. I'm at the library where I am supposed to be studying but I thought I would take the time to blog since it's been a month. I'm just not sure I'm going to be any good at blogging. I know I should be just based on the stuff running around in my head but I can't seem to get the contents of my brain onto the screen.

I am working at a local doctors office during the week and I think it's going to be really fun. My co-workers are nice, fun, and have no issue sharing their daily lives which provides complete entertainment for me. Don't take me wrong here I'm not making fun of them as I think they are truly good and nice people but it's just they have no issue sharing info. Like the nurses talking about upping their anxiety meds during "that" time of the month. Then there's the girl at the front desk who's working on divorce of husband number 2 and living with another guy. This one has interesting things to say let me tell you. To tell you the truth I need this kind of mindless chatter around me, even though it's in no way adding to my intellect, I'm in no way stressed out.

There has been much work to do around the house. I have found myself hitchin'-up the trailer to the truck in order to go and get the lawn-mower that had been in the shop for 3 weeks. Ya know hitchin-up trails is alot like riding a bike, once you learn you never forget. There is this slope of land off from the house that after the rain we received, from Ike, that had started to wash away so one of the local farmers brought us some hay and yesterday I proceeded to spread hay to keep the land from washing any further away. One thing I never remember missing while in Texas was the itch from hay or the pricks in my fingers(yes, I had on gloves).

I really want a massage, a delicious dinner, a BOTTLE of wine, and good music. A close friend ask why I couldn't get any of that here and I suppose I could but for some reason it's just not the same. I should be happy I have a roof over my head, food on my table, money in the bank, and a job while some people are losing everything. Well that just set me straight!
