The Soda Stand

I’m here! I’m in my apartment right now. Have had an exhausting week and I just may sleep for the whole weekend, after taking Miss Monique to the airport tomorrow morning, of course.

I have so much to do around here and I need to catch up on my bloglines. I feel lost not reading blogs and what not everyday.  I’ll have to download all the pictures I took another day.  I’m entirely too tired to do that right now.

We drove for about 10 hours the first day (this included stops) from Las Vegas to Albuquerque. Our second day was a long ass 12 hour day from New Mexico to Tulsa. And then we ended up in a nasty ass, black molded, super bad part of town in a hotel.

Our third day was one of our shortest driving days. We drove from Tulsa to Miss Lucy’s casa in Missouri. And today we drove from Miss Lucy’s to here in Louisville, where I’m sitting in a camping chair, doing laundry of a blanket and towels I purchased at Wally World today.

I’m currently trying to not kill my dogs, as they are going bonkers, playing, growling, running and jumping all over the place. The floors creak in this apartment, so I’m hoping my downstairs neighbor doesn’t hate me too much.

Miss Monique and I went to dinner with Miss Laci and had some Mexican food. I brought home my leftovers, even though I do not have a microwave yet. I have a list of things I’m going to get slowly but surely and after buying the TV I got, I didn’t feel like carrying a microwave up the steep stairs to my apartment.

I’m happy to be here, lots of stress has left me. I took the test today at 2:30. We had a typing test, which I scored 84 on (this is slower than the last time I was tested) and then we had three or four more parts. We had a proof reading section, which I almost failed because I suck at grammar and punctuation (if you haven’t noticed.) The third part was verification of information. We had to look at a name and a number and verify that information on the computer screen. It was weird, but I rocked it out with a 90 something. The fourth and final part was transcription. We had two tapes to transcribe, five minutes each. I scored a 90 and a 95 respectively on those.

I hit my head on my car door twice today, same spot. The second time I did, I saw stars and then had to find where the testing place was. It was easy to find, as I walked out of the garage, there it was! woot! BONUS!

I’m now going to shut the laptop off for a bit, lay down and read my three Sports Illustrated magazines that were waiting for me when I got here. Another bonus!

Until next time…
