I Love Momentum
Wow, six whole weeks without saying anything. I think that's a new record!

A few things have happened since I last wrote on this thing. I gave my two weeks notice about a month ago at the Autumn for starters. I was finally starting to get used to the job, back problems aside, but between Martin refusing to do anything on his own anymore, and Grampa getting combative around bedtime, and Melba patronizing me, I thought enough was enough. Rachel is also a pain to work for (everybody hates her), and even though she's decided to sell the place again I'm glad I'm no longer under her.

Part of the reason I was so eager and happy to leave the Autumn was that right around the time I started, Randall's uncle Fred started fretting about home health care for Randall's grandma, hereon referred to as Gramma. Between random and unfamiliar people and one aid that let Gramma fall, Fred was looking for a better way. Randall smartly mentioned my situation and as soon as logistics were worked out, I found me a new job! (In fact I'm writing this at work now! Gramma's taking a nap since she's had another dizzy spell.) It pays well- I can survive and I mostly just sit around after doing some basic housekeeping since Gramma sleeps late in the morning. I'm considering looking for a second job though to earn a few extra bucks. I miss having a disposable income.

No progress has been made with Reg and Sheridan, the new rats, so I'm taking them in tomorrow to get neutered. I still have a bump and scar from where Reg bit me on day one and a few more scratches. I can't touch either of them without getting bit or screamed at, and they fight long and hard, so I'm hoping the snipsnip helps. If not, money lost in an attempt and I may have to send them back to Rattie Ratz since it's too much maintenence dealing with aggressive and deranged rats.

Also, distributor on the Dreaded Doily II bit the dust last week. Apparently my exact model was part of a huge recall ages ago because of distributor problems, so obviously the last owner didn't do anything about it. It's getting fixed now, and in the meantime I've been driving Aldo's gass-guzzling SUV. Not fun.
