Hey Chels!
Well, I finally made it to the library!  Only took 2 days and I still feel like I have yet to go to sleep but I'm here!  Yay.  So, where did I leave off?
Oh right -- Saturday night.  So, I got Barry to lay down for a bit and he actually passed right out!  Between he and his cousin both snoring and Edgar being awake all night, needless to say I got no sleep whatsoever.  But I had to leave by 10am because Monique was picking me up.  I kept on blowing her off because I had plans to see Barry but those fell through and I was feeling like crap anyways.  I hate that I've turned into one of those girls who blows friends off for a guy but in this case I think it was completely justified.  In the past few weeks as you know my time with Barry has been crazy due to work so I felt like if I had any chance of seeing him I better keep my schedule open.  Plus I was really sick last week so it was a lot easier for me to drive 2 minutes as opposed to 40-50 minutes.  Anyhow so Sunday I got picked up around 11am and Monique took me to this restaurant called the Brunch Cafe.  Apparently her mom wanted to pay for a trip to Door County and I knew she was planning a trip, I just wasn't expecting it to be that fast.  I wanted to take my paycheck with me but I never got to.  As it turned out I had just enough to get everything I wanted but had to leave some stuff behind.  Isn't that always the case though?  Lol.  So, after we decided our plan and I accepted the invitation to Door County she wanted to stop at Sports Authority for a kickboard and then we got back to her house to set up her pool and OMG it took forever.  I guess it's one of those free standing ones where all you have to do is inflate the top and the sides stay up that way.  Well, first of all, I guess the spot I picked was kind of lopsided.  Second of all, it is very difficult to blow something up when every time you stop, the air comes out.  So annoying!  Ugh--potty break, hold on.
Alright--so, we spent the hottest part of the day trying to set things up and by the time we got to the filling of the pool it was already getting colder.  At around 7pm we decided to call it a day and then Barry wanted to know if I wanted to come over again so after Monique and I were done having dinner and resting she took me home and I went from there to Barry's.  Edgar was staying over again but he left so Barry and I could be alone. Lol, we had sex or whatever and then he worked all night and I had totally forgotten my sleep stuff so I ended up getting 2-3 hours of sleep tops.  He finally came to bed and then the calls started coming in.  He tried to talk quietly so as to not wake me up but that didn't work so much.  I finally dozed off again but after 3 more times of dozing off and getting woken up I just said, "fuck it, I'm awake."  I got dressed and my cousin Amy called me.  We talked about me doing massages for Jim and I said, "okay!"  She said at first every 2 weeks but now she is thinking every week.  So, I am going to see how everyone is doing by next Monday to see if it's a go on Tuesday and go from there.  She could either pay me every week or every 2 weeks.  I should ask if she would be okay with me going there every week or at least 3x a month.  It wouldn't only benefit me money wise but benefit Jim healthwise and if Amy gets that Planned Parenthood job then she can definitely afford to pay me so it benefits everyone.  I would be so happy if I could save some real money instead of only save pocket change.  It would help so much until I can do some tarot readings myself.  But it seems like people are cutting down on that as well as massage.
Wow, seeing all these high school kids makes me wish I was in high school again.  I would demand more people took me seriously about the massage therapy thing and really focused on what classes I needed to make that happen.

So anyhow, Tuesday was a big driving day.  But I did the massage on Jim and he was very happy, said that he was still loose even the next day.  It makes me feel wonderful knowing that I could help even in the smallest possible way.

Wednesday I chilled at Monique's again.  I helped move the pool and finish setting up and finalize plans about DC.  It was so cool, on Sunday after we were already inside this female deer came right up to the pool and it looked like she was going to take a drink but she never did.  But she could hear us talking about her.  When she heard our voices her head would perk up and her ears would move.  According to Monique that's the goddess Diana.
Another weird thing was that the next day when Monique came outside the pool was drained and everything was folded neatly and ready to move.  Ummm wowza!

I am finally starting to wake up!  But my guess is it's the coffee :/.  I think it's the Nyquil and I'm going to try and stop taking it.  I think aside from feeling like a zombie I am pretty much all the way better.  I didn't need my mucinex at all today.  Maybe if I take that at night it would keep the coughing down?

Anyhow, so Thursday was my last day here before my trip and I managed to get everything done that I needed to.  While my dad was at his dentist appointment I got my timesheet filled out.  Ooh I just got the greatest idea!  I am going to walk around taking pictures of my favorite spots in my favorite place ever, the library.  Anywho, I got to drop off my timesheet, then home to pack and clean my turtle tank.  I got all packed and relaxed a bit before going to see Barry before I left.  I think it's funny that I started out this summer by taking a trip to Florida (June 2nd through 6th) and ended it by going to Wisconsin (Sept 2nd-5th).  I thought I would be done with this thing by now but oh well.  Like I said, I'm gonna write as much as I can and then when you're done fill the rest up.  So it shouldn't be too bad.  I just need lots more pictures and to write some more poems.  Summer ends on September 23rd so technically I still have time.
I think I'm going to end this here as I want to take some pics before I go and I have to feed my dad tonight before seeing Barry (yay!)

<3,
Me
