Stressed but still good

So here's a little random update in no particular order:

• Today is day 4 of no smoking. Why did I quit all of a sudden? Well, the doctor told me to or else she wasn't gonna give me my prescription. So instead of smoking and getting pregnant, I decided to stop smoking and not be pregnant. Make sense? Anyway, this is day 4 of no smoking (I am using the patch though) and except for about 4 major cravings (most of them yesterday while fighting with Jim) I've been okay.
  
• I leave for Chicago in 9 days! With all the fighting that me and Jim are doing it would be really nice to leave him in Rochester but maybe this "vacation" will make things better. Anyways, I'm excited to be going and seeing my family and the sights. It's been about 6 years since I was there last.
  
• Our next door neighbor moved out over the holiday weekend. They gave us a brand new futon (go us!) and some really shitty new neighbors who were outside our bedroom window this morning talking extremely loud at 5:30am. We've been wanting to move for some time now and if this morning is the beginning of a pattern I think we will be.
• Kacie M. is moving back either today or tomorrow! I've missed her so much...days off just haven't been the same without. Maybe we can get our Canasta night going again! I'm so excited.
  
• My Navy friend, Nate, is coming to visit Jim and I this month. I don't think I've seen since we moved back from Virginia. He's leaving for the Persian Gulf in August and won't be back until March (hopefully...you never know what's gonna happen) so this is a good time to catch up on things.
• The money situation still sucks big ones and everything is a catch 22. I need to go back to school so that I can get a better job but I can't afford to go to school and I can't get any loans. I could try applying for new jobs but most places aren't starting out at what I make at BJ's or if they do, they don't have health insurance for 6 months and I need to have my health insurance first day. It's just really frustrating. But I've been having these dreams where one of the managers keeps telling me I was made a manager even though I don't want to be manager. Does that make any sense? Didn't think so. Update! I looked up promotion in a dream dictionary and this is what it says :If you dream of getting a job promotion, it is a warning to pay closer attention to your current responsibilities. I've been neglecting some responsibilities at home lately. I wonder if that's what it means.
  
• Jim is officially an "Uncle"! His sister had his new nephew on May 19th. His name is Evan William Scijag and he weighed 9lbs 12oz. and was 22 inches long. Babies run big on his mom's side so if I ever end up pregnant with his kid, I am so gonna have a cesarean. No natural for me! Do you guys even care? :)

So that's that. Hopefully I can stop being lazy and go do my errands that I should have done yesterday. Later.
