Life is dragging me down

Sorry I haven't posted any updates lately. I get distracted by other things and forget that I have this blog to update. I'm back in Wisconsin and working nights at Walmart. I put in an application for training to become a department manager. I also sent in an application to get some online training so that I can prepare for my GED. But everytime I try to take a step forward, something always drags me down. I found out that the US Department of Education is now taking money out of my paycheck. It's like a dollar an hour they are stealing from me. It just doesn't make any sense. This all started like twenty years ago. Why are they determined to drag me down? I told them that the school closed on me, but they didn't care. I told them that I shouldn't have even been accepted because I don't have a high school diploma, but they didn't care. I told them that they told me that it was a grant not a loan, but they didn't care. I told them that I didn't even sign some of the papers, but they don't care. Our government wastes billions of dollars on people in other countries, but damn if they are not hell bent on taking the money I need to buy food and shelter. Wake up America, Uncle Sam doesn't give a crap about you anymore.

Notes on chapter 28

Hello again, well I'm still in Texas and still spending time with my family. However, I have been trying to find time to work on chapter 28 so I can have it completed by the time I get back to Wisconsin. Yesterday I bought a little journal notebook, because I really don't like putting off a chapter too long. This morning I wrote down a small draft of chapter 28 with a few ideas I think I will use. I'm at our local library at the moment and while I'm here I plan on getting some more work done on the chapter. So far it looks as if I will have it completed soon, and hopefully start on Chapter 29 by this week, or next. Till then wish me luck and have a great day.

Texas visiting family

Hello again everyone, sorry its taken me some time to get back to you all, but I've spent quite a bit of time on several buses while traveling to Texas. However, I'm happy to say I finally made it Texas, and having a wonderful time. Although I have to admit I miss all my friends back home in Wisconsin, and most of all my boyfriend Alan. For my first week in Texas I spent it in Angelton Texas with my aunt and uncle, we all went to the beach and I finally got a good start on what I hope will turn into a great tan. Next I spent two days at my uncle Joe's house, which is located in South Houston Texas, finally I made it to San Angelo Texas and have been spending time with all my family. But I try to find time to write my friend and my boyfriend as often as I can, which isn't always that easy to do,because the computer at the local library here only allows you a 15 minutes time limit. This week is also my boyfriend's parent's 45th anniversary and he's spending time with them at the cabin, which is a good thing. kinda wish I was there. I really love going up to the cabin. Its a great place to relax and I always enjoy spending my time on walks with Alan, but until I'm back in Wisconsin, I will miss him a lot. I am planning to make a trip back to the library this week and work on finishing chapter 28, I'm hoping to get on a computer that allows at least a hour time limit. So wish me luck, and have a good day.
