It's 9am and I'm still the only one up.  Too bad I no longer seem to have the ability to use that time to sleep more myself!  I can't imagine what Ro and Lan did together yesterday that has her still snoozing.  I've been sorting through my organizer some more, in the unending quest to fit in bills, chores, meals, work, sitters, and workouts without conflict.  I got paid yesterday, which is a great big wootywoot.  Makes me feel a bit less bummish to have a paycheck stub in my purse.  Target ones are so hokey!  Even the checks are covered in those bright red bullseye logos.  Lookit me!  I work at Target!  Unfortunately the whole darn check is already spent.  Stupid bills. 
It's actually been a great week on the job front here.  Eric got a second job at the Movie Tavern, so he'll be able to start paying rent again.  I dunno if you have those in LA; I've never seen one.  I know we took Bobby and Vanessa once.  You get a server and order a real meal while you watch the movie.  We have one by our house, and while the idea is awesome, the servers are always horrific.  I think Eric will get amazing tips as people are pleasently surprised by his competence.  Course now the poor guy is working seven days a week, just like on the cruiseship.  I feel really bad that he has to do that, but I tell myself it's his choice.  He wanted to still keep the Gamestop job even though it's only one or two days a week because he liked the perks.  But we couldn't keep afloat with a one day a week paycheck!  I miss having him around too.  I got used to having him on my couch all day.  I loved the company.
My dad has also finally gotten a job.  I can not express what a huge relief that is to our whole family.  Poor guy's been unemployed and trying to stay afloat with one time gigs for two years now.  He's working at a university managing their theater.  No teaching or anything like that, just actual theater managment - everything from ticket sales to making sure the visiting dancing troup has hemp towels.  It's interesting to me that they hired someone for that.  At LaTech we just used the free grad student slave labor.  It's certainly a stretch from NBC5, but he's always seemed really interested in that aspect of my own college experience.  I think not only will he do great, but he'll enjoy himself.  Plus he'll get all the university holidays off. 
It's after nine, and Rowen's stirring.  Time to clean out the kitcchen cupboards, marinate lunch, do my workout, and start some laundry before I head off to Starbucks.  Bizy bizy bizy...
