Yesterday...

All my troubles seemed so far away. But now it looks as though they are here to stay.

I love this song. But when sitting down and reflecting on my life and it's ups and downs over the past few months, I have to that even though my troubles haven't necessarily gone away, I know that they are not here to stay.

This past weekend I went out with my sister and had a total blast!! The birthday party we were going to was cancelled and so we decided to go out for a drink. We ended up at Joe's Crab Shack where we met Tammy, our server, and Gayla, another server. Krystl and I shared a meal and had a few drinks. We laughed and joked around with Tammy, Gayla and the rest of the servers until about midnight. We even joined in on a couple of the "dances" that they perform.

Tammy invited us to go to Fast Eddie's for a night cap with her and her boyfriend so we tagged along bringing Gayla with us. We laughed so freaking hard that I was sore the next day. We gave Gayla a ride home and then crashed. It was one of the best nights I've had in a long time. My blahs were no longer blahs.

I'm so glad that I'm here in Houston right now. I just got a little mobile home on the other end of town for me and Wyatt. Mom's apartment complex kicked Wyatt out and I went with him. I love my little home. It isn't much but it is perfect for right now. It has a little bit of a yard that Wyatt can play in and we sit outside almost every day and hang and play fetch.

There's still a few things that I need to get to make it complete but for now, it's home and I like it. It's a nice little park with about 27 units. I believe everyone who lives here is Hispanic. There is a little man that comes every day on his bike with stuff for sell. We know he's coming because he blows his little horn all the way down the way. People come and go with their Mexican/Tejano music playing full blast while I sit on my porch playing my NON-Mexican/Tejano music. I have 4 cds of "Mexican" music loaded on my iPod--Linda Rondstadt's Canciones de mis Padres, La Mafia-Exitos en Vivo, Shakira--Pies Descalzos and Donde Estan Los Ladrones. So, I'm a bit of an oddity here in my little neighborhood.

I found out today that my next project was postponed until April. I freaked out because I was counting on having a paycheck to help with the bills and pay April's rent. I applied for unemployment today and they backdated it to February when I last worked. I was so very grateful. I should have some money coming in by next week. That's a good thing for me and for Wyatt!! The only GOOD thing about the project being postponed is that now I have a few weeks to put out applications here in Houston!! I want to get off the road!!

Hopefully, something will come along soon because my butt is super numb from sitting on it all day long and my eyes are going crazy because I'm staring at the computer screen either playing Top Fish or Mafia Wars or Poker on Facebook or just plain goofing off on Facebook!!

Tomorrow...I'm treating Wyatt to a day at Doggie Day Care. He deserves it. He's been great all week and it'll give him the chance to interact with other dogs. He needs to work on his social skills. Although this past weekend at the Humane Society he did really well. So well, in fact, that I got several compliments on how well behaved he was and how well he listened. I was so proud of him because normally he acts like I'm not talking to him!!

For now, I am happy where I am. I am happy that I have Wyatt and that we can spend this time together!! I'm grateful for all the yesterdays because they brought me today. Tomorrow is never promised but I have faith that there will be many more tomorrows to smile about!!
