Vacation

For some reason my boss gave me all my days off in a row, including my holiday for the 4th of July. So far, I'm on day 3, and I'm loving it. It's not like I don't enjoy my job, I honestly do. It's just very nice to be able to spend so much time at home, doing things I love.

I'm loving my gym. The only bad thing that's happened to me is, I showered today before I tanned, which I think enhanced the tanning bed effects. I'm pretty uncomfortably burned. But by this time tomorrow I should be somewhat sexy. ;)

Every time I get in the tanning bed, I think about the part on Final Destination (I forget which one) where the two sluts burn to death when they get locked in the tanning bed. I freak out a tiny bit and keep one hand on the handle just to be sure it will open for me.

Anywho... I'm loving working out in a real gym. The treadmill is still my favorite. I don't run, I just power walk and then turn the incline up and power uphill for a while. The only thing I'm not loving about this little vacation is that I'm kinda blowing people off.

Now I'm gonna be real honest here. My dad went to prison when I was 16. Since then, our relationship has been broken beyond repair. I try to stand up for him and honestly don't blame him for anything. I'm a strong person today. But my dog lives with him right now. I want her back, but I have no idea how to go about getting a house when we have so many other things to pay right now. Part of me truly feels like he could do me this one favor without asking for anything in return. But he is asking for money. Which I understand. I mean, dog food costs money. Anyway. If he can't be more patient with me, I might lose her. I've had to move her around so many times over the last few years, I just couldn't stand to hurt her or confuse her again. But if I can't have her now and I can't get him to help, I might have to surrender. :/

Just like with all things, I'm gonna pray. Then I'll probably pour my thoughts out in a text. And even though he knows I hate talking on the phone, he'll call me.

....here goes.
