Home.

Where do I start?

It's been an eventful and productive past few days. I'm finally getting over my cold. I caught a horrible cold over the weekend, along with cold sores on my lips from exhaustion & stress. Yuck.

Mr. Kang has been slacking on the painting, so dad hired someone new. I think his name is Melvin? or Elvin? Very nice, soft spoken Spanish guy. He's very quick and his work is really neat. He finished painting most of the bedroom and bathroom today. I think he should be done by tomorrow, which means I can move all my furniture in by Friday morning (latest).

The office is finally set up, and because Kitsune & Juju have been getting anxious anytime I walk away, I put up a baby gate, and they stay in here when I'm using the computer. They seem to like it. Actually, they love it. I set up a portable soft crate with a bed inside, and brought up a few of their toys. Once Melvin/Elvin finishes the bedroom, I'll probably let them sleep in here since the kitchen will be getting painted (which is where their crates are). David doesn't allow dogs in the bedroom, and if I kept them in there, they would be going up and down the loft-closet. Yeah, I don't really want to deal with that...

I've been sending out my resume like crazy. I found one for an animal hospital, super close to home (10-15 minutes away!) and it sounds awesome. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I NEED a job, ASAP. I need to get out of the house and DO something, and well, I have a $6,000 credit card balance that needs to be paid off! I was hoping to get right back into school, but with my mom's situation, and dad's business being a little slow right now, it may be tough to shell out $1,700 every 5 weeks for classes. I'll have to talk to him about that. My parents support my education 100% but I don't want them to struggle.

I want to end this update with a huge * THANK YOU * to the love of my life, Sgt David Kim. He is my ROCK. I don't know what I would do without him. He is too good to me. I love you baby! I can't wait until this deployment is over so you can come home and we can start our lives together. I miss you so much, and the house is so lonely/empty without you. Sending positive thoughts & lots of love your way! ♥
