Part Sugar, Part Spice, Part Procrastinator...
So far, I have been online for over a hour now, reading people's blogs. If I had to choose, I think I would prefer to read blogs, instead of write them. I just really enjoy reading about other people's days. *Shrugs*

So, how's everyone doing? I hope everyone is doing okay. I am currently recovering from some weird strip throat type sickness. Over the weekend, my throat was becoming sore and by Monday, I could barely talk or swallow. I felt horrible! And I had to call out for Monday, but could care less considering...An unwell Harley at work is like throwing mice to a snake...Combo is deadly. *Laughs* But seriously...

How bad did my throat hurt? Well, I bought a 12-pack of Ginger Ale on Monday and emptied it by Tuesday morning, not to mention an entire box of Drumstix! Today, I am feeling a bit better. Throat doesn't hurt too much, but I keep coughing and blowing my nose. It feels like I'm using sand paper, instead of tissue! I hate being sick. No matter what kind of ailment

Strangely, however, my tolerance for the customers has somehow risen. I don't know if it's the painkillers I am on or my frustration after I found out Heather got promoted over me to Floor Staff. You see, I work as a cashier at Borders Books. I LOVE that store! I love it so much that I am constantly finding myself broke. Hehe But I'm not a 'cheerful' person. When my grandmother died, it was kind of hard to be smiling when you are grieving, you know? There are times when I just can't leave my baggage at the door, especially with an ex-boyfriend there stalking me every week. But Heather is always smiling. She practically sparkles. Not to mention she always looks like she stepped out of a Gap ad. *Heavy sigh* My curly hair has gotten so out of control that I've finally decided to cut it all off and go with simple short cut. Maybe, then I can stop cringing when I look in the mirror.

But I most admit I like Heather. I think she is a terrific and very nice person. It's just frustrating that I keep getting held back for one imperfection or other. My sales numbers are better than hers but it just ain't enough... I don't know.

Well, I got to go. Ran will be calling soon. He's also coming out this weekend to see me. I'm really looking forward to this visit. I know he just came out in December, but I crave his presence like Homer craves his doughnuts. LOL

Taker care, everyone. I'm out.
