I’m currently writing this at 10:03pm 03/16/2024 at Kyle’s house while he sleeps since he has work at 5am tomorrow. I am drinking some orange spice tea and just sort of reflecting on life right now. Also listening to Owl City’s album Ocean Eyes which made me reflect on my childhood; I would play the Nintendo Wii while listening to my album on my boombox. Hello flash back to 2008! LOL.

My court date on Friday went well; my first DUI charge from 2021 dropped down to a negligent driving in the first degree where I plead guilty. Which isn’t great, but better than facing jail time or more fines and fees. So I am satisfied with the ruling; everything went as planned. Thank God.

After I did a UA (urine sample) for treatment on Friday afternoon, Kyle got the good news that now that his epilepsy and seizures have been in remission for quite some time, he can start driving again after seven years without actively driving all the time. This was a huge relief and pray answered for not only myself, but especially for him. I let him drive my RAV4 since he got cleared and he was so happy it made me happy. He’s thinking of buying a truck or a budget vehicle so that he can get around and won’t have to bum rides anymore. I told him to not rush it and the right car or truck will come to him. On that note, we went car shopping today but nothing really caught his eye but he got a decent reality check which was priceless.

After Kyle drove around on Friday for a bit, I got a call from a potential employer which was weird because I didn’t even apply to the specific store that the manager was at; I applied for a shift supervisor position at a neighboring spot. She said she wanted me to apply to her store and made an interview time for her and I at 1pm on Monday the 18th. Since she called me directly and talked with me a bit and thought I was a great candidate, I feel confident that I would get this job which is about damn time.

She asked if I was in school and I said it was my last quarter at a community college and I would be graduating no later than the end of summer, but if all went well, I would graduate in spring. I’m not sure how I feel about the matter because Kyle paid payment 1 of 3 for the payment plan and the payment was $750.00. I feel so bad that he paid it but I told him I would pay him back and I would pay payments 2 and 3 in addition to working (hopefully). At least this job would be part time roughly 30-32 hours per week with benefits and paid college. So once I graduate with my associates, I can apply to the forensic psychology bachelor program at a certain school and get tuition paid for by this company.

I just don’t want to let Kyle down because he’s got “skin in the game” as my father would call it since he paid for a third of my tuition. I know the drill. I got to focus solely on school and Kyle is supportive of that. He and I paid the down payment today when we hung out so now shit’s getting real.

As tired as I am, I can’t sleep because my bladder disease won’t let me despite taking all my medication and staying hydrated. I am in so much pain, pelvic and abdominal and flank pain. And I also have to be up at 4am with Kyle so I can take him to work in the morning.

I think this is all I got for now.

Much love,

Dani
