@Totalanimefan: It's getting better, i think. We finally paid utilities and i think that will show my MIL that we're able to pay for what we use, and that we're not Tyi's siblings and just leaving her with the bill or anything like that. We also have an estimate now on how much bills will be which is nice, so we'll really just have to do the same thing we did last month with our money. I still can hardly wait to have her move once one of us gets another job so we can pay the full amount of rent ourselves. (right now we're literally shy like $200 from being able to do it ourselves, so the second job is really just so we have more spending money and are able to save some money.) Also the cousins left this morning so later today we'll probably move tyi's desk into the room they were in, which will make our bedroom a lot cooler. It's amazing how much heat comes off of the computers.

@DreamerZ: It should be fun, They're always entertaining, so that's always nice. And they don't expect me to do a whole lot and just appreciate my company. They're also the only friend from idaho that actively tries to keep in contact, so i really appreciate them. Also yes. It hurts a bit less today though, so that's good at least.

@mothworth: No problem! Also, when pinging someone, make sure to include a colon after, otherwise the ping system doesn't register it.

@DreamerZ: Very nice! When i went to idaho i visited with most of my friends from up there, but the one that i'd take naps with moved to oregon, so i'm planning on making a trip out to see them and their baby and meet their boyfriend. I did meet up with their brother when i went to idaho, at least. Ironically the day before he was moving to Oregon lol
I managed to hurt myself today but i realllly don't know how i managed to do it. I was getting the vacuum from the garage, and was fine, but then once i finished vacuuming, under my big toe started to hurt, so i put away the vacuum and looked at my foot and there was a new sore there, with loose skin still attached, kinda like i scraped or cut my toe on something, but i have no clue what. Worst part is is it's on the joint, so every time i take a step it hurts a bit.

@Totalanimefan: oh very nice! Great job! And i'm sure it's nice to have the house ready to be staged!
@xvz: Yeah, it's just cause i've been working either evening shift or night shift schedules since i was at least 20. so it's been a little over 9 years, if not just under 10. I just turned 30 last month. When i sleep varies with each job i have and the work schedule, but generally i'd wake up at most an hour before work, for example, when i worked 2:30-11pm, i'd wake up at 2, get ready and out the door, go to work, come home, wind down, make dinner, watch tv or something, and then go to bed between 4 and 7 am, which would give me 7-10 hours of sleep before doing it again. the thing my mother in law doesn't/didn't get is that her asking me and my hubby to be up before say 10 wasn't really feasible because that would be like someone who works at 9, getting up at like 5 or 6 am and then going to work for 9. Like no one who works a day shift gets up 4 hours early before work. maybe 2 hours if they have to commute and get ready with hair and makeup or something, but when i work i shower at night, so in the "morning" i just have to brush my hair, toss it in a ponytail, brush my teeth, get dressed, and go, so there's no need to be up earlier unless i have a commute, and i don't usually take jobs where i have a long commute. And there's never been a way to explain it to her because she wouldn't listen and would just dismiss our explanation.
Now that i'm between jobs, my sleep schedule fluctuates a little, but mostly i go to bed around 7-10am, depending on how tired i am, and then if my husband lets me just sleep i'll be up 10-12 hours later usually, but he'll wake me up if i sleep past 8 pm usually. Though today he woke me up at 3, because we had dnd at 7 and needed to clean our room before we went. As for if it's hard to go out, well we don't usually go anywhere throughout the week, and if we have to go shopping, i'll be up by 8pm or earlier and go to walmart, which here closes at 11. And if we decide to go on a date or eat out we'll plan the date a few days in advance so i'll be up earlier, and eating out, well we just go to a 24hr fast food place like McD's or Wawa. Basically it's not super inconvenient for us to be night owls, and our friends are night owls too so it doesn't really matter.

@xvz: dinner was pretty good, it was seasoned chicken thighs, mac n cheese, and peas. Easy yet tasty, which is always nice. Yeah, i've been on a night schedule for at least the last 7 years, probably longer actually. My mother in law doesn't understand so she's always complaining and saying how it only takes 14 days to reset your sleep schedule (easier said than done, and i'd need a desire to do so.). It's tiring lol
Yeah, kind of? i mean it's a sitcom about these 4 guys that work in the physics department at a university (textbook definitions of the words nerd and geek), and their neighbor who is an aspiring actress that is a waitress at the cheesecake factory. It's pretty funny, actually, and i'd definitely recommend watching it and Young Sheldon (watch young Sheldon after big bang.) Facebook has a lot of clips from both shows, which is how i learned about Young Sheldon, and i want to watch Young Sheldon, but i think there will probably be a direct correlation between both shows, so i'm watching all 12 seasons of big bang before i move on.
also hi! i forgot to say that earlier haha

@Dreamerz: i can understand that. I mean, i've only moved once where i'm too far away from the frineds i had established, so i can imagine moving multiple times can make it even more difficult.
@xvz: ooh, a concussion does not sound fun, but i'm sure its nice to take it easy. I have not been doing much. I made "dinner" (dinner food at like 9pm, but i woke up at 8 pm), and then i've watched big bang theory all night. Finally got to season 3, which i'm excited about because that's the season Bernadette is introduced, and i really feel like that's when things start picking up in the show.
