spider in the corner

well my last week here in Los Angeles is finally here. I am really excited to move. But at the same time so many things are still up in the air! Jake doesn't have a job yet...!!! And so we are moving in with his parents until we can afford to get an apartment of our own. We still haven't packed ONE box yet! We are so bad. But we are starting tonight. Speaking of tonight... tonight Micah my brother in law is flying into Los Angeles to spend our last week here with us :) We plan on going to Malibu once, taking him out for some good food, and we are going to a Dodgers game as well. And hey, if he wanted we could even show him what the inside of a Los Angeles County Courthouse looks like :P Because I have my second court date the morning we are moving! Monday morning at 8:30am. I hope that goes well. As it goes I am going to plead guilty and ask for traffic school and community service. Because if we wanted to fight it we would have to come back for at least one more court apparence. Plus if you want to fight it you have to pay the full amount of the bail until you are able to win the case, if you can win the case. So way too much hassle, I've learned my lesson. I just want it to be done and over with. So thats that. Anyways, moving on. I got to see my dad in sacramento and my dad (in law) in San Francisco on Fathers Day! It wasn't planned out that way, but it was a nice surprise for the day. I have kind of been in a little bit of a crafting funk. Can't seem to kick it. I think once I get settled into our own new place and I can get some nice stamps and papers from this company that I like I will have more to work with. So we'll see. I almost bought some this weekend, but I didn't. For the past couple of days I have been having and on and off again pain in my stomach! How annoying. And my muscles have been SO sore, for what seems like no reason. Jake thought maybe it would help me feel better in general to get out and get some exercise... so we went down to the park and played tennis :) It was a lot of fun. And in the end we tied 3 games to 3 games. it went ME-HIM-ME-HIM-HIM-ME!!! And the last game, that I won, was so much fun! I was so happy to win it :) At first when we were playing I get tired really fast. But as we kept playing and I worked through that tiredness it went away. So that was nice. We had a great time, but this morning my muscles are even more sore! Blech. Another thing. It seems like I have had a runny/stuffy nose for almost six months now! Its so annoying. I have to make sure that I have one of those pocket sixed tissues in my purse at all times! It got worse when we went to San Francisco because of the park right across the street. And its just all together an area I am not used to. And since then I have had bright green snot, which usually means an infection. But why hasn't it gone away?! Also in the past few days my chest (on the inside) has been itching like crazy. And I have a cough. Its a dry cough though. So last night Jake got me a big glass of water to put next to my bedside so that if I needed it in the middle of the night I wouldn't have to get up, he's a sweetheart :) There are SO many people right now that I want to send a card to, it just seems that I don't have the right time or amount of time to do it. So maybe I will just put it off until after we move. Its not like they will even know that I meant to send it sooner anyways. This way its one less thing for me to worry about this week! Wow, my last week of work with the Cokers. They have really been such treasures to me. I know that I am going to cry when I say goodbye to them. And I am going to miss them so much. Life isn't going to be the same not going out for coffee and breakfast every morning with them! Jack is a really great guy/old man. And I hope that he gets a lot more years out of life! Peggy, well I think its time for me to leave according to her anyways. She is getting frustrated with me being there for some reason. I think it might be because she sees how connected I am with Sarah and Jack and how much I care for them and that upsets her. Because if it wasn't for her strokes she could be in my shoes. But I still love her dearly...(even though in the last two days of work last week she spit, yes I did say spit, at me three times, she hit my sholder, she kicked at my face as I was trying to put her shoes on, and she slapped me square across the face, and a lot of yelling, and refusing to get out of the car!). I am going to miss her too. Anyways, enough sappy stuff! I am reading a neat but weird and kind of creepy book right now. Its called the Thirteenth Book, I think. Anyways, its a very interesting book. ok well I have hit the point that I just want to move on to something else... so see ya later!
