Another slow day.

Today is another slow day. I have class tonight (juvenile delinquency) but I don't  have to show up if I don't want to. I don't particularly want to but I want something to make the day go by.

Last night my power went out. Luckily I had the power out night lights my mother had sent me right before my birthday. I called her to let her know that they worked wonderfully. It was nice talking to her until she asked if I voted. I reminded her that I couldn't because my address was wrong and I hadn't figured out how to fix it. Plus, if I had voted, I would have voted for the person she was against and it would start some kind of argument. She had "jokingly" said that if I voted for who I wanted to, I would be kept out of the will. Some times, I wonder if she was really joking. She now holds strongly to her husband's beliefs. She doesn't have her own anymore. She raised me to believe in doing good for others. Now all she cares about is businesses over people. It's frustrating but it's what she believes. I try my best to just not talk about it.

Luckily I found my books for my English class on my Kindle. I was so excited. I've started reading The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. At least that is helping me pass the time. I'm still not sure if I have my English class tomorrow or not. I guess I should email my teacher and ask.

I have a 'friend' on facebook that is doing a daily post on what she's thankful for. I don't really want to do one on facebook because there are some people that would say something about the things and I just don't have energy to explain myself. So, I'll try to do something on here. I may not update every day, but I'll make sure I catch up when I do post.

11.1 I am thankful for my loving husband and all the things he does for me.
11.2 I am thankful for my wonderful pets and the smiles they bring to my face.
11.3 I am thankful for having my own house that I can afford to own.
11.4 I am thankful for having the ability to pay my bills and heat my house.
11.5 I am thankful for my husband's job allowing me to focus on school.
11.6 I am thankful for my ex-boss and knowing that I can go to her if I need anything.

That actually made me feel a little better. It's a good thing to take inventory of the great and wonderful things you have in your life. I heard it somewhere that for every negative thing you think, you need 7 positive things to counteract. I never really believed that making a list of things that you're thankful for would be easy, or good, but it is. It's relieving.

So, I'm off to look up some more music, then either read more for English or start my SOC paper.
