Oh, that's shiny....and LOOK, a distraction!

Cooked jambalaya for dinner, Lance dropped by and ate some.  Around 11 Stephen ate his last popsicle...and he was very sad, lol.  So we both started realizing we were hungry....by midnight we were on the road!  Turns out there's a coffee shop called Coffee Call....they do coffee AND beignets! And they're open till 2am!


We went there, I got some beignets and a cafe au lait.  Best part?  It comes already mixed, you just go to the coffee thing and pull the lever....awesome.  So I started to add sugar....and it just wasn't getting sweet.  If anyone knows me, they know I drink coffee milk.....and very sweet. So I must've added like 10 packets of sugar (stirring with a big straw all along)...and it wasn't getting any better.  After eating my sugary beignets, I decided to go for the sweet n low.  Wellllll....4 packets and my coffee was PERFECT!  I am comparing it to Community Coffee.........don't tell dad.


We finished up there and headed to Wal-mart, which was in the same parking lot.  I drank most of the rest of my cup there. Leaving wal-mart and stephen is telling me how I can't actually taste the coffee since I have so much sugar in it.  I disagree, of course, but I digress.....I finally realized what happened.  I got to about 1/3 left in the cup.....and suddenly my coffee was more like syrup.  Turns out the stirring I was doing just wasn't enough, and all of that real sugar just settled to the bottom!  Due to the sugar high I was already on from the sugary beignets and the coffee I already drank, I decided to not get diabetes and threw the rest away.


Um, yeah. So I'm home now and deciding what to do till the sugar gets out of my system.  Decided on the blog ...but now that's almost over.


ummmm....OH
So I found an old email of a free 10 day trial for WoW...which is awesome since I had to cancel my subscription since we're broke.  That ran out today...boooo!!!!  BUT last week I got another email for another free 7 days!  I'll prolly start that Saturday...so how cool!


Umm...I promise I have not been drinking!  But sugar can mess you up! Pair that with not really having a set schedule to take my ADD meds.....and forgetting to take them alot.....and you've got some trouble.  I've just started to notice it, even tho I've been really good the past few days about it.  The stuff I take isn't instant, so you have to take it a while for it to take effect, thus, it takes a little bit of you not taking it for you to notice.


No, I still haven't finished unpacking the house....or my office. That's really the part I need to finish the most...since I'm there most of the day.  But EVERYTHING is so much more fun when you have stuff that's not so fun to do.


Sooo...what else.....
Applied to a part time job for SLP...hopefully I can get an interview with them....
I also applied for a state job in Hammond like 3 weeks ago...still in the process....they just go really slow....I've been approved to actually be reviewed, they've confirmed my XP, etc, etc....
Other than that, the job search has been quite the bust.  I've called so many places, including hospitals, SNF's, clinics, and just random healthcare places.  I'm ready to work people,.....let's do this.


Thanks to everyone who's been helping us out (financially, emotionally, etc, etc) the past month since we've moved. Couldn't have done it without you!  Even letting us borrow a car with a/c in this horrible La heat, even just to run to the store.....we've been so appreciative.  And humbled.   I know this, I will never scoff and people hating the heat again.  I time EVERYTHING around when the coolest part of the day is now, lol.  Hence our midnight wal-mart runs, etc.  It's just not fun to be in a sauna to go anywhere.  But enough complaining...if that's what that was.


This is getting to be a looooong post.  Imagine if you were here!?  I don't know if you would have ears, I might have talked them off by now!


Oh, stuff for dad is going well.  The whole Swamp People thing is.....different, lol.  I was with mom and dad in Sam's the other day...and a lady wanted a pic of him and mom.  That day I was sort of the designated picture taker.  They'd ask for a pic...i'd say "I can take it if you wanna be in the pic with him"  Then they'd giggle and have the biggest grin, lol. Well, anyways, this lady was like, oh nooo....but I want you in there too.    Wait...what?  Me?    This lady took a pic of me, mom, and dad.  ...That was a first.  Sooo strange.  Suddenly the spotlight was on me too, cuz when I went to go sit by dad....I noticed that EVERYONE in the checkout lines were staring at us!  Not a comfortable situation for me.  But, yeah...that Sam's trip showed me just a little bit of what life is now like for dad.


OMG Jan, you really need to stop rambling!  ....did you notice I added another Label to my blog.  Rambling...for posts like these.


OH, and last thing...one day soon, I will take a little vid of a walkthrough of the house and post it to my youtube channel.  I'll post the link on this blog.
