Damn I need to blog more!
Let's give a little update out of the way, shall we?
I quit one of my jobs being a caregiver, as described in it's near entirety here. Thus, I now have just three jobs.
I still work a school in an autism room but at a new location. So far the changes have been easy to adapt to once the first week was over. The people at this school are very nice and the most welcoming of the various schools I've worked at so far. The daily schedule is still being tweaked and there will be rotations of where each of us are needed every few days or so. This makes everything kind of new every week, which is nice so far. I also work for a new teacher who at first impressed me but also made me unhappy. She has allowed each of us to explain/suggest any changes we feel that is in need without taking it personally. I suggested something big, and she has accepted it and has changed accordingly which is very impressive and says a lot about her as a person. It's been better now. The first couple of days made me hate my job again, but after talking to her I feel much better.
Since I quit one job, I have taken more hours working as a respite provider for my cousin's autistic twin boys. I also finished certification for being a habilitation provider, which I'll start doing soon hopefully. This means more moola! I'm looking forward to working more in depth with the boys, so I can really make some changes.
In other news, I finally got a new used car. My dad and I have planned that I would get rid of my car by the end of the year and acquire a new one. My old car had too many problems that weren't worth the money to fix. The car I have now has made me less stressed and more relaxed about driving. This car is pretty awesome and deserves a post all to itself. That will come soon, with pictures!
All in all, I'm doing pretty good. I have a couple other things, or so-called goals, to attend to next. One being that I want to get a dog. This I haven't looked into really at all. I do know what I want but am not quite ready financially or have not made myself ready financially yet. I still have to decide if now is the right time considering I'm not home all that much during the day. The second goal is getting a girlfriend. I rebooted my dating site profile for the third or fourth time again. This time is different because I really put myself out there. However, not too many promising bites have happened yet. I may make another profile with a different site since this one hasn't been doing me much good. We'll see how all this goes.
I've been spending a lot of my free time drinking wine at home, watching NCIS, and stalking various tattoo artists on Instagram. Instagram is a really inspiring resource, one that reminds me I really need to start working on art. I have also been reading a lot. I've finished several books this summer and am currently reading David Sedaris' When You Are Engulfed in Flames.
