A Paying Job and Illness

I got hired at Walmart in Findlay!! Hip-hip-horray!! I still have about a week before I start, but I went for my interview on Tuesday, and 45 minutes later I walked out of there with a job. I have to wait for my drug test and background check go through, which can take 5 days, but when that gets done, I'll be starting. I'll be working around 25 or 30 hours a week and I'll be making $7.40 an hour. I'm excited! I can't wait to be making real money again! And I need a job really bad because I'm almost always bored on the days that I'm not at my internship. So, anyway, I'll have to give a full report on the job once I actually start.

Onto other things, unfortunately, Matt is sick. He was really out of it this morning and had to call off from work today. He has been really dizzy and really off balance, and kept feeling nausous when he was standing. I had my internship today and I hated to have to leave him at home all by himself. The only really good thing is that I'm getting off an hour early from work so that if I need to take Matt to the doctor tonight, I can. I'm actually more worried about whether or not he has insurance actually. He is supposed to have it with Walmart, but now that he's working part-time instead of full-time, it's hard to tell whether or not his benefits still apply. I don't know - he probably needs to go to a doctor, but I just don't want to have to pay out the ass to go to a clinic. Oh well - who knows what is actually going to happen.

So anyway, other than my little illness scare two weeks ago and Matt being sick now, living in Findlay has been great! I really enjoy being with Matt all the time and the apartment just feels so much like home. It's wonderful! The only thing that I have to say about it that's bad is the fact that I miss my family sometimes. I haven't really got homesick, but sometimes I just think about what summers were like when I was still in high school and when I was younger. The thing I miss most is just hanging out outside at home in the country in the summer. It was always so peaceful...
