Last day of "freedom"

Sunday morning and I just finished my breakfast of oatmeal and am drinking my coffee. My last day of freedom...suddenly I feel like I didn't do everything that I wanted to do while I was off. I don't know what those things are though. ha ha. Actually I'm excited to be getting some sort of normalcy back into my life, it'll be nice to have a schedule and will feel like I'm living here rather than just visiting.

I filed my last unemployment claim this morning and I'm so happy about that!! Like I said, it's great that it was there but I'm so glad I won't need it any more. :)

I'm really not nervous because tomorrow & Tuesday I have orientation ("Geico 101" as they call it) from 8:00 to 4:15 and then the rest of my training is 8:15 to 4:30, Monday through Friday. I am curious if I'll have training on the 4th of July which is on a Wednesday...I have a feeling I will because Geico is open 24/7/365. It kind of sucks but oh-well, I have no idea what I'd do on the 4th of July anyways and even if I go see fireworks it'll be at night so it's all good.

I spent the rest of the day on Friday feeling sorry for myself. A combo of my hormones and just all the other stuff going on in my life. I watched movies and listened to music all day.

Saturday Darcy picked me up at noon and we headed to the boulevard mall with Darcy and I bought 2 more tops at Macys. I think I'm set for a while now. I've got more than enough tops to mix & match with my pants. We went to Fridays for lunch and we both were good, we had their strawberry fields chicken salad and that is delicious, it's kind of like the salad at Coho Cafe that Jenna introduced me to. After that Darcy wanted to go to Barnes & Noble and Target and then she invited me over for dinner, so I hung out with her & Fred at their place for a while and we had roast beef sandwiches.

I don't plan on doing much today other than laundry, cleaning and little things to "prepare" for work. My aunt Barb called and wants me to take a ride to Olcott with her to get some popcorn at Bye's, it's a big thing around here. Just a little popcorn stand, I think it's only open in spring & summer and they have awesome popcorn. I have become my aunt's pet project and sometimes it gets a little irritating. I know she loves me and means well but she's never been married, never had children and is the kind of person who can't do anything by herself. I mean NOTHING. She needs company to do even the most mundane things and I'm talking even cleaning, she needs someone there to talk to her. No exaggeration. I'm the total opposite, I like being by myself and I'm okay doing things by myself. The bad part about all of this is that she doesn't understand where I'm coming from and calls me to do stuff with her and I feel bad if I say no. I know that's my problem and I need to learn to say no but I do feel badly because I know she's lonely. It's an awkward situation and I don't want to hurt her feelings but sometimes I just want to be left alone. Oh-well...it'll get better when I'm working again.

Oh! My couch will be here on Tuesday, they'll deliver it between 12-4 and my aunt is going to come over since I'll be at work. This is another reason I feel bad saying no to her if she wants me to do something, because I know that she'll do anything for me.

Anyways, I'm so excited about my couch! I can't wait to plop down on it and read or watch tv. :)

Well I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend and I'll report back tomorrow as to how my first day at Geico went!
