One More Cup of Coffee

Well, today has been pretty average overall.  Went to work at subway, and things were pretty calm.  I made $4 in tips which is the most I have ever made in tips.  I save all of them in a special wooden box my great uncle brought back from China in WWII.  Anyway, I just have one more day at Subway for my work week.  Then I came home and picked up the apartment.  I don't know why, but when Jon has days off the house always ends up a wreck!  I am not saying it is his fault or anything like that.  We were also very busy.  Anyway, we had to get a few groceries and then dropped dad's father's day cheese off.  Why did we give him cheese, you ask?  Well, that's what he likes.  So that's what he gets.  I am having a steak day today from when I gained 2 pounds from eating so many hors d'ouevres at the wedding the other day.  Hopefully due to the steak day, they will be off again tomorrow.  Then i will go eat some of dad's cheese, hehehe.  I also got a call from a travel agency telling me I won 4 round trip tickets.  We have to go listen to a presentation to get them, but free tickets are free tickets.  We have a trip to the Bahamas that we won and need to use soon.  We went to see a pots and pans presentation before we were married and won that too.  Maybe we could use them together!  That would be a lot of fun.  I have been really tired lately and not feeling so great.  Hopefully not Lyme's; will have to go get tested for that.  I hope that that does not involve taking blood.  I need my blood and am not inclined to let a doctor just take some out.  I can't believe we are going to Alabama next week.  I always get so stessed out and nervous before we go.  Even though we have been together for 4 years now, we have not had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with Jon's family.  I am always worried about making a good impression on them.  I really want them to like me.  I get really quiet when I am nervous; I guess to some people that passes off as snobby.  But if people get to know me, I am not a snob or stuck up or frigid or any of those things.  I hope I can get that across.  I am worried about going though not just from nerves, but because of my Pop too.  He is really not doing well.  He is having a hard time breathing.  There is not a whole lot else the doctor's can do.  These past few days have been really rough on him.  I hope its just a bad spell, not the way it will be from now on.  I cannot help but compare my leaving this time with last time, which ended with Grammie in the hospital while I was gone ending in her untimely passing.  I am scared to leave him.  What if something happens while we are gone.  I would never forgive myself.  Wow, on to happier things.  Dad left Lola in his car today while he was at Pops.  Lola managed to pry the lid off of his frappe and drink all that was left of it.  She had about half of a caramel frappe from McDonalds.  I am kind of glad she is not with me tonight.  When she came over earlier, I fed her some of my steak and apple,  followed by frappe...I can only imagine how it will take for that to leave her system and end up on Mom's rug.  Well, I am going to bed.  Hoping to get some beach time in after work with Tiff.  Also going to grab a BAGEL after my steak day today.  Fingers crossed the 2 pounds are gone!!!
