I know I haven’t updated in a while. I’ve just been so busy and it’s been so cold outside that I had no desire to walk to the library. Today is a little more bearable so I decided to update my blog.

I haven’t been able to sleep for 3 days. I don’t know whats wrong with me. I go to bed and I can’t seem to settle down. I actually feel like I’m half asleep the entire night and when I do fall asleep I have such a disturbing dream that it actually feels like I didn’t get any sleep at all… Sigh

I no longer work at the Sandbar. I’m working at a bar that is closer to home. It is actually right down the hill from where I stay so it is very convenient. Turns out the owner of the Sandbar is a complete dick. He claimed my sales were low(along with the other barmaids) so he started bringing another girl in on my shift, but you must remember this is Ohio(cold weather), we are in a recession, and I worked on non-busy days – Tuesday and Thursday. She of course called in all her friends on the shift to make her sales. – Mind you this bar is in Wickcliffe which is a ways from where I actually stay and my friends are not going to drive all the way over there to have a drink.

I already knew what the deal was and the customers were really cheap when it came to tipping me too. I’d get tips like .50 or $1. WTF?! At this new bar the cheapest tip I’ve ever gotten was $2 and I’ve gotten $5 just for a $3 beer. I also get paid per shift instead of just $2 an hour which equals out as more. On top of that I’m much more comfortable because I’m not the only “black” person in the entire bar. Don’t get me wrong I love people of all races; that’s what makes the world beautiful, but I have to admit being the only black woman working in a “hill billy” bar was really weird.

I ‘m also trying to get a job with the city… More about that in another post.

The only other new thing is I plan on taking a trip to Cancun Mexico this Spring or Summer and I’ve been talking to the love of my life for the past 2 months!

Well I have to go get Elijah. I will be back in to edit this after I pick him up from school…
