So, I know I haven't updated this in a long time....I apologize for that. As you can see, I have added some pics of my mom and me, my dad and me..and wow can you tell who I look like the most? LOOK AT THOSE CHEEKS! Hi Dad! So since I last blogged on here, I was working for DePaul Industries and had a perm shift at the safeway next door to my house.
I got sick, they pulled me from that site and wouldn't get back to me about working else where even though I was cleared to go back to work by the dr's. I understand there position with me being sick and all? But if someone's been cleared, I don't understand why I couldn't have my hours back.
So I did what any adult would do, I looked for another job. I put in an application with First Response Inc. on a Tuesday..got called in for an interview on a Wensday, and hired that day. I was in orientation Friday from 8am and was supposed to be there till 5pm. I got an abriviated orientation, so I was out of there at noon and at work that night at 8pm to 8am..needless to say, the first week of work I pulled 93 hours.
Then the next week was 53 hours, thanks giving week 37 hours, 53 this last week and 37 this week. I'm exhausted, I'm not pulling any extra hours this week. My body needs to rest.
I am doing everything that I have always been taught. Don't stop a job without having a back up. I put in my two weeks notice when I found that I had this new job. So I left on good terms. My dad always told me not to take shit from anyone, I'm doing that. He taught me what it means to be a real man, to take care of your family by any means. Even if it ment you have to work extra or over time hours. Thank you dad...thank you mom. You both taught me alot growing up. Thank you dad for tellin me that I will make an awsome man. Like I've said before, I only wish to be half the man you are.

Ok, so this is what I looked like the last time my parents came to see me around the end of June. I haven't done a lot of updates as of late. So I thought I'd update the prior update I just posted.
I have been working for a company called DePaul Industries since April 14th of this year as a security officer and currently I am off of work because I can't breath. I have broncitis (how ever you spell it!) I will be going back to the docs soon to get a check up before friday when I'm supposed to go back to work. I don't think I'll be able to go back yet considering it's still really hard to breath.
I will update this when I get checked out tomorrow. I hope this finds everyone well and in good health. Oh yea, if your wondering what I'm doing for money...I am currently on unemployment till I get cleared. Take care.

The following was the first two e-mails I received today in regards to the start of my transition, as you can see..I have every reason to be jumping up and down for joy.

Updates and stuffs....


So, I haven't been posting on here for a while now. I have had alot of up's and down's as we all have. But for some reason when MY down's come..they come hard and I become a different person. If you were to ask my mother, she would tell you that it's true. If I don't have a job or am doing something usefull...I end up becoming someone that noone knows much at all really. I end up becoming really....inward and it hurts the ones I love the most. I get stressed and become depressed, which thankfully hasn't been that bad as of late.
I have been recently told that I might have MS, which I need to find a doctor in my area that will help me with finding out for sure one way or the other...and has to be on a sliding scale or no cost at all, seeing as money is tight right now.....
Brandie's mom has moved in with us, which has been a blessing. She is trying to get a hell of alot done for Brandie that I have been trying to do for the last year now in a short amount of time. Which I'm happy to see her smiling again. I am also sorry to have seen her said at my expence.
I don't really have a whole lot to say today..it's kind of one of those days where...things go right, but they don't. But, I'm keeping my head up high and a smile on my face anyways...

I love you all and I hope this finds you all well and happy.
