~*~ Summer is Here ~*~My job is finally officially over. I am so glad. Our session adjourned sine die on Monday, one day ahead of schedule. It was a loooooong day. I was at the Capitol from before 7am until after 11pm. Fortunately, we had Tuesday off. However, I was recruited by my boss to come in after session to clean up and the like. I was actually happy for the opportunity...I'm getting paid for 4 extra days.
That'll be like $150 in my pocket for basically doing nothing. Totally cool. But today was my last day and so I am officially free of that job forever.
I've applied to two jobs. One I am not expecting to hear from for a while. I have an interview for the other next week. *crossing fingers* I honestly didn't expect to have an interview so fast, but I'm not complaining. Yes, I would have liked to have some down time this summer, but in this economy it is much more important to secure full-time, permanent employment, you know? I hope I get the job, but if I don't then I guess I'll just have to hope the other one comes through and I'll also need to keep searching for work.
This 4th of July weekend I am going to Monmouth, this super small town about 20 minutes from Salem. I'm hanging with Anati (pronounced Anna-tie)...it's going to be a blast. I'm really glad that I won't be a loser stuck at home alone like I was last year. And yes, I would have been alone if I hadn't made these plans with Anati, because Trent decided to skip town this weekend. Originally he was just going up to Portland, but last night I found out that he changed his plans and decided to go to Bend instead. And he left this morning. I guess I won't be seeing him until next week.
Things with Trent are...well, to be honest, I'm not sure how they are. There has been some drama, which I will not talk about here. Oh, and get this....the day after we had that argument about him leaving my house, I got a FB message from his mom. Yes, his mom searched for me on FB and sent me a message. It was rather long, most of it just general stuff, and then she got down to business at the end of the message.
"I know Trent cares for you a great deal. He told me you are good for him and "Lauren melts my heart". He has never said that about anyone else. Love makes one vulnerable, which can be scary. I don't want to be a nosy Mom, but I am sometimes. I've noticed that you have seemed unhappy lately, and I know Trent was last night. I don't know what has happened, nor do I need to. I'm just hoping you two can communicate and work things out if possible. Please know that we love and care about you too Lauren."
AWKWARD!!!!
Last weekend we had a pretty good weekend, minus the fact that I had to work on Saturday. Btw, did you see the video of me yelling "vote" that's on my FB and in an email I sent out? I went to church with him and had dinner at his fam's house like I usually do on Sundays, and then he came over and slept at my place. It was nice. And I hope that we managed to convince his mom to stop worrying. If anyone should worry about us, it's us, not her.
So like I said, Idk what's going on with us. He is so sweet to me, spoils me rotten, etc. I came home after work yesterday to find a huge bouquet of flowers (that he'd purchased at the Wednesday market while I was at work) waiting on my dining table. It was such a sweet surprise. He's always giving me foot rubs and that kind of stuff. But then there are times when I'm worried about us...like when he decides to go out of town for 4 days w/o telling me about it, and I only find out by happenstance. *sigh* Idk.
But I definitely think that things will calm down after this weekend (or maybe after Tuesday, after my interview). That is my hope.
