July 13

It's like technically the 13th but still the 12th to me cuz I'm still up. It's like almost 2. We're off tomorrow so we are being bad n staying up. Cuz...why not?! Lol. Hi daddy! Hope you are ok. I miss you so much. Mom was here all last week. It was great to have her here. You'd be so proud of her. I think she's lost enough weight but she looks great. She's happy...or appears to be. She's enjoying being retired, has made some new good friends in Robinson and that's good. We didn't do a whole lot while she was here but it was nice to be together. We did get to see bubby together, and that was kewl. The first time the 3 of us have been together since 2011. It was just for a little while but it was nice. The rest of the week Joe and I just worked. I started my new job at Taco Bell. I think it's gonna be ok. Have to learn a new way of doing things but it's nice to be with Deanna and Shay again. It's a drive too but I think it's gonna be worth it, I kept a good attitude all week and my week was awesome. So, I suppose going that way every day maybe...just maybe...:) idk, but it's worth the try. I met the area leader and he seems alright, willing to give me a shot at management so ima do my best not to mess that up. 

Joe is now running the store on his own. Both nights he met a small glitch but I know he'll figure it out. He's just made silly mistakes, and he will. I know I did when I first started running the show. It's nerve wracking and you feel the pressure to make sure you don't forget anything. But I know he's gonna be a great manager. I just wish he'd go in there with the I'm your boss attitude and not try being all buddy buddy with some of them. I know he's worked his way up and probably is friends with some of them but I just don't want it to bite him in the end. They are talking about making Joe assistant manager. Which means salary and benefits. Cha-Ching! And if I get shift manager, we'll be doing real good again. :) I don't know much else. Oh, have you seen Charles Parnell? Mom was sad to find out he passed. I'm sure you'll make him feel at home. I love you dad. (Forehead kiss) Talk to you in a little bit. ~XO
