Uuggggggh.

Deep Sorrow: Not working at home anymore. They had to change the tools for home, but they were not working... so naturally, they ask us to come back to work. I was loving working at home. =(

On the bright side, we got fiber internet at the cheapest cost.

Sorrow: today (or I guess yesterday at this point) my granddad passed away. he lived a good life. 90 years, 62 spent married to the woman he loves, 2 beyond doctors' predictions.

Joy: I was lucky to have all my grandparents live so far in my life, and he's in a better place now. RIP

Sorry to read that Brent, but it’s great that you have such a special memory of your Grandparents. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Everything works out in the end. If it hasn't worked out yet, then it's not the end.

Sorry Brent, it's good that you were able to know him

Sorrow: I might not be able to get a summer job, which means I won't be able to get any moneys

Joy: I got to go to a theme park with my dad and siblings, which was fun

Joy: Bought a pair of headphones that are real good, I really like them.

Sorrow: My Spotify on my computer won't work for some reason, so I can't use the headphones to listen to music.

Joy: Gonna be getting back to work in a few days so I can actually start making money again. Been living on bare minimums the past few months.

Sorrow: Driver's License expired, and since I didn't get my NJ license changed over to a PA one within my first two months of residency, I'm not sure if they're going to force me to retake all my tests and start with a permit again. If that happens, I'm not sure what to do.

Joy: Sister's boyfriend is here ~ he's a blast. :3

Sorrow: Our dog a few days ago was not her usual energetic self, so we took her to her second vet visit yesterday. Turns out she has a large bruise on her waist and not sure where she got it from. She's coming home today with meds and a cone to help her recover, but it scared us she was even bruised to begin with.

EDIT: Discovered it was something like a hand mark. we're not sure where that came from, but now we're worried someone hit her. going to be watching her very carefully.

Joy: Spent the day st the New York Museum of Natural History and passed the day wandering among the prehistoric animal exhibits, gazing and falling in wonder. First visit i was decades ago and I'm as enchanted by them now as much as when I was eleven years old.

Joy: I finished getting a project up I had been working on for over 3.5 years.
Sorrow: My ability to promote it took a dump when my hours (and thus my funds) got cut at work, and places to share it started to dry up.

But, life moves on, and we do the best we can.

Sorrow: Stepdad came back from his fishing trip with a hook in his ear :(

On the bright side, he's doing ok. He actually thinks it's funny since it's hanging like an earring. Bless him.

He better get that taken out though. It could get infected and probably will.

Forgot to update this: On the day he got hooked, it turned out he had someone available that got it out the next hour. All was well. Still scary!

Started my senior year of highschool a week ago. I'm excited for it actually. It's my last year and I want to make it fun. It's been kinda hectic since we got a new schedule system and I only got a couple classes everyday and a lot of free time. But so far so good, made a bunch of new friends these past couple days and I can't wait to see how it goes.

Joy and Sorrow: Brother and sister are going to be gone September to college and to Newfoundland. My cousin Mike is heading home as well to Alberta. I'll be with my ma and step-pa.

This also means that I can give a sigh of relief as they are taking care of themselves and that i'm able to write my book again!
