Monday's post June 15

I am now writing in Word, then copy/paste here. This allows me to spell check as well not sit on this webpage where others can see what I am doing.
I can’t believe I haven’t posted anything since the 10th. You know that can only mean one of 2 or 3 possible things. I was working a lot, I was sick, or I found a new man. Fortunately it’s the last one. I have a new man. I am just having the time of my life.

My last post said 5th and final day of work but I must have been delirious from lack of sleep because I had another night to go. I have truly been discombobulated. I walk into things, bump my head getting in and out of the car, forget words, forget was I was doing at any given moment. Thank goodness folks around me are looking out for me, or looking for me, looking at me,…. Any which way, they are helping me. I am liking the night shift. I get a decent amount of sleep and staying awake hasn’t been too much of a problem. If I am working alone, I can sit and amuse myself with my creative mind. I am going to start writing some of those books I talk about. I have to do it on a tablet though because we are not allowed to have our laptops or other technology at the job site. I’m still too new to push the limits of what I can and can’t do.

Since I got paid Friday, I paid bills and whatnot that afternoon. That was a good feeling. I have money to spare too! I have to spend some extra money to get a few things for the apartment and clothing I need for work. I have 2 days off a week and I’m afraid I’ll spend too much on my weekends consequently not saving as much I want to. It’s the balance between having a life and working towards a goal. I am trying to get a job that I call “up north” meaning Afghanistan or Iraq. It’s more money, more hours, worse conditions, and less opportunity to spend/screw around wasting time. Is my goal of getting to school worth sacrifice a year of my life working 6 or 7 days a week? If I stay in Kuwait it will take me a year and half or maybe even 2 to save enough money. I can make the financial goal in one year up north. I don’t know the answer so all I can do is try and see what opportunities present themselves. Do I really want to go to a war zone as things are escalating? Iran is acting up... North Korea is acting up… things are relatively safe here in Kuwait. We would become a target at this location if things light up. You know I never make decisions on what is safe. The riskier the better is my motto lately. Go for it. I may also get some other interesting jobs with this company that would make even better money and the same risk so that would be nice. I’m working all the angles.
So a quick summary for the last few days – I’m feeling better, stomach is calming down, got some sleep, found a groove, work is going well.
