Lot's happened since I last wrote here. Been keeping busy. Work work work, when the shifts come to me. I need more hours, but I can easily pick up shifts as it gets colder out.
I work at the only gas station and 24 hour convenience store in this area, so it get pretty dead as fall sets in, and winter looms.
My family's moved to Newboro, which is about 40 minutes outside of Kingston. I work 5 minutes outside of Newboro, in Westport.
It's very country out here, and I love every second of it. It's quiet at all times (aside from our dogs when they want attention). Most think it's odd that I (an original Ottawa boy) came to such a small place; also weird that I set in so easy. *shrug* I didn't do much in Ottawa to begin with, so really having nothing to go do isn't hard for me to fathom or live with.
I dunno... I do miss Ottawa because of some of the people. I still talk occasionally with friends, and used to chill occasionally with them. But that's not enough to pull me back to the big city. I'd need a steady rockin' job, and a good place to live out in the country to even start contemplating moving back.
Same with Kingston; it was an interesting place to be. I spent about a year there, and have ONE person I still semi-consistently talk to via text. But there, there's no country.
*shrug* Doesn't matter anyway.
I'm more than happy here.
I'm still with my parents, and my girlfriend's with us too. She's back in school now, and enjoying it. I like that I can help when I'm not exhausted from working. She's got a job out here too, and loves it. She's like SUPER country, and LOVES horses. Lo and behold she's found work at a ranch. :)
It makes me happy that she's happy in what she's doing. Us both having jobs, we do as many of our own groceries as we can and try not to eat mom and dad's food.
Sometimes money gets a bit tight, but we get by.
I have a new car; I got a Jeep. So payments and insurance are kinda wicked on the income, but again we get by, which is all that really matters.
Katie's started her first year of Queen's. She's excited, as am I for her. I think she's majoring in Education. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)
She's a smart cookie. I'm starting to miss her. Didn't miss her so much when I was in Kingston for some reason; but she spent a little time in Newboro before school started for the year, and now I miss her.
*sigh* I'm watching time tick down until I need to start mopping, and then go clean the laundromat in the back.
I start at 10pm and finish at 6am. Get home to see my girl as she gets ready to head to school, and walk her to the bus stop.
I was surprised how many people went to the school from town. It's funny watching everyone file to the ONE bus stop in town. And it's right in the middle, so it's kinda funny. Anyway... Back to work for me.
Perhaps I write again soon.
Lemme know if you'd like that.
Sorry, I was so boring. :$
