Up In The Wee Hours

It's 2:15am where I'm at in my corner of the world. I'm wide awake thanks to that tea I drank last night before I went to bed. Yesterday was an eventful day. I went shopping at Dollar General and Dollar Tree. It was nice shopping cheap. I bought my cousin some postage stamps that are Western styled online, however. At almost $14 a pop, that wasn't cheap. The Western style stamps are cool though. You know, it has the cowboy hats, boots and a Western jacket on them. She likes writing letters like I do so we write back and forth sometimes.

I cried last night. My Grandma turned on a movie I hadn't seen in years called My Sister Rides The Bus. It's about a lady with severe autism whose father dies and whose sister very reluctantly steps in. It shot my fear all through my body again of being alone when Mom and Grandma dies. There's no one really to take care of me. I cried so much over it. I refused to watch the rest of the movie as it was showing my worst fear ever on screen. Mom told me that God would take care of me and to ask Him to love me. She told me years ago that as much as she loves me, Jesus loves me even more. That's a comforting thought.

Anyway, I need to sign off and get some sleep. Have a good night or day or whatever time it is in your corner.

Yours
Aleah

Light Bulb Turned On

At 3:45am, the tea is still going strong in my system. I’m super excited to find an answer to my dilemma. I think I will save up money to take classes to become a certified nursing assistant. Now, notice I said I would just take the classes. I think I would love to still work at Winn Dixie grocery store and be on disability for as long as I can but should my SSI check ever stop, I have a backup plan. I’ll get my certification to be a CNA and retake the exam every odd year (ie 2025, 2027, ect.) until my disability runs out or I change my mind and just go full time. I think I can do this! No, I WANT this. I want to study and work hard at this. I can only afford to save $100 a month but I’ll have enough money for the classes in a few years. I’m super excited!
