two weeks later...

I think it has been almost 2 weeks since my last post.  Much has happened.  My parents visited for a few days.  While visiting, my grandmother died in Houston.  That night, Merle and I had an overnight with the youth group and I think I only got 4 hours of sleep.  And I got hired permanently at my temporary place of employment, which is good.  Tomorrow I fly out of Albuquerque to Houston and attend my grandmother's funeral and stuff.  I've got a lot on my mind. 

And I have paid off many of my bills, but don't know how I will afford the rent, due on 10/5.  I may have to ask my parents if I could "borrow" some money, although paying them back is a big question.  When I got my first paycheck at this job, it was approximately 140 dollars, for just two days of work.  Next time, I think I will be paid for 8 or 10 days.  I guess I am not entirely sure.  If we get paid every two weeks, then I guess it would be for 10 days.  And if I got 140 dollars for 2 days, assuming the deductions might be the same, then I could be paid at most 700 dollars, come October 2.  We shall see what happens.  I might still see if I could borrow about 150 dollars from my parents.  Well, that's that.

So my grandmother passed away.  She was my last living grandparent.  She was also a great lady to me.  I don't feel like writing about her yet, but I will, perhaps tomorrow.  Just wanted to post something new.

I went to a parade in Old Town, Albuquerque last Saturday.  This was one of my favorites.













Miss Periwinkle herself.  She's so sweet and pretty.

Will write more.  Peace.
