The Mind of J Luv

I think the tide is about to turn

Things have not been peachy as of late. My car has been giving me the blues, my wife lost her job, and my son’s goldfish died. I am glad to say that I am blessed beyond words. I am still happy. I am still enjoying the honeymoon period. My wife lost her job at the beginning of February because she was yet to pass her CRT test. It is funny because the place where she was working does not require her to be certified. The boss claimed that they were coming down on her about getting everyone certified (liar liar pants on fire). The ironic thing is if she had taken a job that required her to be certified she could have got her temporary certification for a year. She would not have to pass her test until this July. It is all good now because she passed in the middle of February. She has a new job that pays more plus she will only be working on the weekends so we do not have to worry about paying someone to take care of the kids this summer. That cost me about six hundred dollars month last summer. My car is finally just about running right. I still have one minor problem that I need to get fixed then I will be ready to start restoring it to its glory days of long gone by. My wife had to drop me off from work and pick me up every day when my car was down. That meant an extra trip every day, which is not good with gas being the price it is and my working twenty-five miles from home. My sons gold fish died but he had only had it for about twelve hours. I think it was the high level of chlorine in the water. I made the mistake of telling my son this. He told everyone that would listen that I killed his goldfish by putting too much chlorine in the water. He said I should have only put one chlorine in the water instead of two. R.I.P.

    glad you're back j.
    get your son a beta. they are pretty easy to take care of. also instead of dealing with cholorine, just use distilled water. i've got a beta in distilled water that i've had for over a year. that's pretty good for a fish.

    hope things continue to improve for you guys.

    can't wait till my honeymoon period. ;-)
