Complicated in a Simple Manner

This is a blog about me and my complicated, simple life. I am an easy person because I have no preferences, and I'll always try anything once. But, I'm also difficult because I'm so easy. Confused yet? Read and enjoy the ups and downs of my everyday life.

The World Keeps Turning

It's been a long time, and much has been happening. I quit my job some time ago, differences with the new post master, don't know who came up with that term for a boss. But, since that time, I enrolled back in college. 41, and here I am with teenagers and young adults, relearning the basics of mathematics, humanities and soon english. I really wanted to learn this time around, so I'm not sure if it was the teacher or my thirst for learning, but I actually understand math for the first time in my life. It's not really difficult or hard, just complicated, like me. I can know solve linear equations, find radius', deal with exponents and deal with polynominals. The humanistic teacher was pretty much a flake, but she means well, and studying subjects on my own has gotten me an A in the class. Of course, I do have the finals to still take, but I have to have confidence that the tests will be no different from the others I have received "A's" on. I will be going to summer school, which will last 4 weeks, and that will push up me enrolling in the nursing program a semester early.
Bigger changes around our home have been happening lately. My gorgeous husband purchased a refrigerator and stove, and they are in my kitchen and looking fabulous. We had a new roof put on, but now we gotta paint. It almost seems like too much trouble to have the nice things. We will be getting a new air conditioner and heater next week. I can do without the air conditioner, I love being hot, but the new heater will be a blessing in the winter time. We also got a new mattress. You can tell I have never priced a mattress, I assumed we would go get one for $100 or maybe $200, it sure as hell blew me away that the thing we sleep on goes for over $1000 at times.
We will be going to our first Giants game next weekend, and to say I am excited is a gross understatement. We have arcade 148 tickets, 1st row, seats 1 and 2. Close enough to spit sunflower seeds on Randy Winn.
Anyways, I really don't miss my old job, even though it pains me at times to not contribute to bills around here. My husband is sweet and tells me he looks at the whole picture, and after I finish nursing school I will be doing more then enough. But I look at the here and now, and it's hard to get past just doing homework and housework and earning no money. I'm one of the lucky ones to have found the most caring and understanding man in this crazy realm. You're my heart and soul, I love you Allan!
