I'm still ALIVE...!! O_O

Hello my loves!!  ^_^ How are all of you?? I hope well!!

There is no need to fret! I still have my fanfictions I'm writing on, but things have just been SO CRAZY at work!! I work at a school, if most of you will remember...but I also got a second job for the summer time! That job I am still doing, which is at a grocery store, though I only work their once a week on Sunday nights for about 6.5 hours. My time management is MUCH better now...but it hadn't started that way. Nope...

The start of the school year began on August 20th, 2015 for my students, and on August 13th for my fellow staff and I. It was going swell, but though there are a few stressful students this year, that wasn't the issue. At first, I was just working WAY too many hours at my grocery store job. I felt overwhelmed, EXHAUSTED, and unable to make ample time to plan or do anything on the side. It got so bad in the first 3 weeks I seriously thought I was gonna die (lack of sleep tends to make one feel that way anyways), and in particularly from the fact I was just unable to enjoy LIVING. So after discussing these issues with my boss at my second job, basically letting them know I have to cut my hours AWY BACK or give my two weeks (not in an "ultimatum" fashion; just explaining the situation and that I didn't want to quit, which is true). They were surprisingly VERY understanding, which is how I got my hours knocked down so much. The extra cash IS helpful though it's not much, which is okay!^^ "A penny saved is a penny earned" after all~ Thank you Benjamin Franklin!

I have got myself just starting on a workout schedule, going to the YMCA. Not so bad, and I'm actually really enjoying it! I always have enjoyed working out, but things happened, and I fell out of it. I'm hoping to get back into it and STAY with my workout schedule. Another hope is that since I'm paying for my membership, it will spur me to DO something about it. (So far that HAS been helpful; guess that means it's working, huh?) Been doing it for 2 weeks, so let's toast to a bright future! Working out sure does feel great!

Let's see... I have this guy I'm TOTALLY digging at a GameStop! He's a store manager, and we SEEM to hit it off pretty well....I think.  I honestly can't tell when it comes to men whether they are interested back or not. XD Lol... I'm a lost cause when it comes to my love life. I.E. My love life has so much bad luck it's ridiculous...though I'm sure others have it worse somewhere. I just need to remain positive!

Other than that...not much! I still love living with my roommate, she's the best EVER (no joke. I'm serious! Does this look like a face that would lie to you?! ...Oh wait, you can't see my face. LOL-- I know, terrible joke.

I'll get my fanfictions done as soon as I can!! I apologize for those of you who have, quite literally, waited YEARS for me to get theirs done. O_O; Time passes by SO Quickly it's shocking!!

I love you all!!! Even if I'm unable to respond due to lack of time or whatnot, know that I AM ALWAYS reading your comments and that I DO care!!! Thank you to those who are my consistent watchers and continue to wait for my next chapters! You're the best!^^ Loves and hugs!! Keep taking care of yourselves!!! I'll talk to you all soon!! I'm about to hit the hay...lol...Work is tomorrow morning...-yawn- 

Love,


Ashley
