Fortitude

Today I left at noon to get all my errands done and I managed to get back right at one. That's one of my favorite things about this town, it's pretty small and I can get around town, even on my bike, really quickly. I love riding my bike, too, it's good exercise and it makes me remember good times when I was a kid, and when I lived in Japan, and rode everywhere on my bike. The only thing is that it gets pretty windy here so it can be hard to ride sometimes, especially since it's still a little chilly here.

Today I went to the Daily Record to get my check, kiosking pays pretty well, as long as I can sell the subscriptions, then took it to the bank and then I rode around looking for a store that I saw a while back with cute clothes in the window. When I found it I was pretty disappointed, though, it was super tiny and didn't have a lot of cute things there. So I left, and then I went to the library, but they were closed. I knew that, too, but I just forgot until I got there. I'll have to go tomorrow, I have some books on hold and I want to look at the YA fiction again. I don't know what it is, even though I'm 21 I still like to read YA novels. I seem to be able to still identify with teenagers though, even though I'm older. They just don't write the kind of books I like to read about adults, at least not most of the time. Then I went to Safeway, I had promised to bring kitty home a treat (although he probably didn't understand) but I felt bad about leaving him! So I got some giant, soft, delicious cheese bagels, and candy (the delicious sour Twizzler bites and the ones that have fruit filling) and then kitty treats and wet cat food. He usually eats dry food but sometimes as a treat I get him the little pouches. I didn't even notice that the treats I got were for tartar and plaque control, but it's good they are since I've noticed his breath is a little stinky when you get up close, and some of his teeth are kind of blackish. Poor kitty. I hope he doesn't have any teeth pain. If he did he'd probably let me know a little, but he's pretty quiet and playful so I think he's okay. He doesn't seem to be in any pain.

This just in: I have found a job! I was watching Without a Trace (the reason why I wanted to get home by one) and the cleaners called me to let me know that they wanted me to come on board. That makes me so excited! I really wanted to work there because they have a relaxed atmosphere and no dress code, really, and it seems pretty fun. The people who work there are nice, too. So I finally have a job and I start on Monday. I'm so happy, the search is over! I have some applications out, and I had an interview at Bi-Mart, but they have a strict dress code and I would have to buy some pants, so if I can get by with just the cleaners then I will.

Mariners game is on now, I hope they will win it today. They've been doing really well, I'm so excited. I hope they can make it to the playoffs this year. I don't know that much about baseball still, although Ross is trying to teach me stuff, and I know some, I can follow the game on TV but not the radio. It's really interesting, especially how the game can turn around instantly. The games are really fun to watch, though, even if they lose they still play a really good game most of the time.


I don't know what I should do today, this is my last weekend not working so I want to spend it relaxing. I will try to do some sewing maybe since I have a lot of stuff to make, and I want to read some of my books. I have a lot of books piling up that I want to read, and more that I want to buy. I cleaned yesterday so I don't have to today, hooray, and I'm planning to go have dinner at Kiku-chan's since I'm alone and haven't eaten there in a long time. I just got paid so I have money for it. I feel kind of bad that Ross can't go too but he will eat out in Seattle, I am sure. So I will have a delicious dinner and then go shopping with Ross when he gets home tomorrow. I love going grocery shopping together, he is always really funny and I like planning out meals together and everything.

Kitty is so cute and adorable today. he slept on my bed all night and then when I woke up he cuddled with me until I got up, and then he sat in the bathroom while I took a shower, which he likes to do for some reason. I think he likes the sound of the water. Then he kept following me around and jumping up on me for petting whenever I stopped walking. I really don't want him to leave again since it seems like he doesn't get too much attention there. I'm going to try my hardest to keep him here. I just hope we don't get evicted, but it's not too likely that I will get caught, I think, since the people who lived here before us had two cats, for a longer time than we will be here, and they also know people who have cats. The only problem is that he likes windows, and he tries to get in the windows. I have closed the blinds by putting stuff on them, but he can still knock them down if he really wants to. So I'm lucky that management is a mile away on another property. There are maintenance people who come by during the day to do repairs and stuff, but not that often. Also the guys are pretty nice and I always say hi to them so maybe if they do catch kitty I can convince them not to tell. He's really quiet, so I hope it will work out okay. If we do get caught, I can always say that someone left him there for the night and I was going to move him in the morning, and I will probably just have to pay a fine. I hope it's okay. I really don't want to give him up again, I really need him to be here. He keeps me company and he's so cute.

Sometimes he bites me really hard though. I'll be petting him, and he'll be purring up a storm, and then all of a sudden he latches on to me and won't let go. He's not doing it to be mean, but he gets a little carried away. He ripped one of Ross's shirts that I was wearing the other day. It was so big on me that he just got the sleeve but he put a huge hole in the sleeve with his fangs. I'm glad he doesn't have claws because then I'd be a lot worse off. He just has back claws but he can do a good amount of damage with those, too.

I want to play a video game but I only have Magna Carta and Fatal Frame right now, and there's no way I'm playing Fatal Frame right now. I only play it when someone else is here and since Ross isn't even going to be home tonight, I'm going to wait. I could play Magna Carta, though, it's a lot of fun. The only problem with it is that I'm not too sure where I'm going all the time so I have to be careful or else I get hopelessly lost.

Time for the Mariners game!
