Blah Blah Blah

That is how I feel. I am trying to get back on a normal schedule where I'm in bed maybe by 1:30AM and get up around 8:00-8:30AM. Its not working. Anywho....

Andrew graduated from the academy for correctional officer. He is now officially a Correctional officer at the Wallace unit in Colorado City. Right now he is traveling back and forth since he is working a normal 8 hour shift. He was told that housing will cost $100 a month and I'm going to tell him to go for it. Its better than paying more than $100 a month on gas. His first day was yesterday and he enjoyed it. Maybe by next year I'll have him sign up for classes with Kaplan in criminal justice. My goal is to try to get him his Associate's. If he wants to go on from there, that is fine with me.

Work is changing. As of Oct 2nd, this will be the last day for the office to have a night shift. Now FEP and SOT customer service will continue to have a night shift as they have other priorities that come up to keep a night shift, but in my department we are being forced to days. This is their way of "trying to save money". They also got rid of a few management. They will continue to be on payroll till October but they got rid of several good managment. As of right now, I am still looking for another job but not pushing it. If I'm able to move from my position and cross train into another, I do not mind staying just a little bit longer. I am almost thinking about going to days sooner. Maybe my sleep schedule will be corrected.

As for working out, right now I'm around 197. That is about 10 pounds lighter than the beginning of the summer. This would start the third week of me working out (almost five days a week) and I am finding that I can job a full 10 minutes. Now, my knees do hurt but I know that is because I am not a long distance runner and its been too long since I have ran. I will continue to work on my legs and try to strengthen my leg muscles (especially around the knees) so they do not hurt much.

I am still waiting for a class to post my grade. If I pass this one particular class (Bioethics...blah), then I will be able to obtain my Associate's in Interdisiplinary Studies. I have accomplished one goal then that I have been trying to obtain since I graduated high school (almost 10 years ago...OMG). I do plan to continue on forward with a Bachelor's and right now I'm leaning more towards Psychology with an emphasis in substance abuse. I might try to see if I can take some criminal justice classes as I am starting to get more interested in that area. If I am able to go to days at work, I might be able to take some Phlebotomy classes as well and take on a part time job (if I wanted).

That is about it. If I can even remember to take some pictures of updates, I'll post them.
