Sorry it's been a while, and I know I've been saying that a lot lately, but there is just so much stuff going on. But, before I start, here's a little plug for Nylabone since they're awesome.

They finally sent Handsome Jack his new toy ^_^! He loves it so much, he fell asleep with it in his muzzle yesterday. He's worn away at it some, but so far it's nowhere near as bad as the last toy. Hopefully this one will last a little bit longer.

So, going past that, one more plug and I swear to continue.

Please please please go here and vote for me so that I can hopefully get a car. I'm still looking for one otherwise, and when you read on you'll get a good look at how that's been going.

So on Thursday, Gary, the guy I had been getting rides from, took me to the storage unit so I could pay on it and keep our stuff, and on the way there I saw a car sitting on the side of the road that was for sale, only $650 (USD). I thought, if I can talk the guy own to $500 then I'll only have to pay back the $400 Kyle said he would loan me, instead of having to pay back him and finish off payments with whoever  I could get a car with. So on the way back from paying the unit, I had Gary pull over for me.

Bonus, it's a Camry! An older Camry, '89, but a Camry, and they're one of my favorite cars, and I know they're reliable, so I'm off to a good start here. Guy comes out when he sees me looking at the car, and this is where he dumps a bucket of crap on my parade.

- It has no Reverse
- The engine clicks horribly when you start it up
- And just from touching the hood to let it down gently, I got a wicked oil slick on my hand.

So obviously this car is going to cost me more to get it running right than what I have. It sucks. I know a car is as good as you treat it, but after I get it I would have had to put thousands into it very soon after. And as we all know I don't have thousands. Hell, I barely have $5 bucks to my name. And I would still have to look at tag/title/insurance right off the bat and I can't do that yet so I had to let the car go.

I still have to pay my ticket from my accident that I haven't been able to save up for because of rent and food. Xan's dressing up as a computer mascot and is at least getting paid daily to help with rent until he can get a job somewhere. But supposedly, according to him, he might be getting hired on there as a regular, and he can keep doing the mascot thing until we're good on it.

Some good news though, Dylan, turns out I've been spelling his name wrong, is talking me up to Jenny to see if he can get me moved ahead. He's even started training me on the inventory, which is one of my best subjects in a work place. And I've been slowly getting in more hours here and there. To give you an idea I'm scheduled for 26 hours next week, and this week I was able to get in 20, if I don't get anymore extras, aside from the extra 1.5 hrs I got called in early for today that I have to get ready for soon.

Dylan is also talking me up to Mike, which is even better since Mike himself was actually giving me props the other day. I swear, the minute I get a car I'm getting back on the road, I don't care if I have to double-task at the store as an insider and driver. I miss the road so bad.

Anyway, I just wanted to give you guys an update in regards to how things have been going. I have to hop off of here so I can get ready to head out to the Baker Road store.

Signing off,
Lily
