I am not feeling that well, but I am writing anyway!

Hello world!

How is the weekend treating you so far? I hope that all is going well with you as it is for me, although I am SICK (literally)! I am down with probably the cold and that sucks ass straight to hell, and it might be from the changing weather. I just wish it would stay consistent, damn it! Since I last wrote, I was picked on at work by two people that should get their asses beat up by me, of all the people in the world! After work, I couldn't take it anymore and I just broke down. I have to quit my job soon or else it might not be pretty anymore.

I told some co-workers what was going on and they just gave me some cold hard advice: kill hate with kindness. I know for a fact that sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. Vicky and Mike, two of the people that I am pretty close with, had private conversations with me both Thursday and yesterday. The talks proved to me that I got people at that job that has my back. :) Enough on that, on to the good parts of my happenings. Yesterday, I went to my day program and told some people what happened and they were appalled by what I told them.

After that, we all went to Navy Pier and took a boat cruise to find out more of the history of Chicago, and after, as well as before the boat tour, M.J. and I went shopping for stuff. The first place that we hit was the Build-A-Bear Workshop. Carl, someone that we both know, tagged along with us. M.J. and I both got ourselves a stuffed Koala. M.J. named her Koala Aussie, while I named mine Andrea, after a friend of mine from high school. The other stops included the return trip to both the Irish shop and the Oriental shop to see what they have.

In the Irish shop, they had this plaque that I was interested in buying, but it turns out that the origin of my last name is unknown. It might be Irish, it might be Scottish, it might be Canadian, who knows? At this one interesting shop, they have these T-shirts that may look black and white at first sight, but expose them to the sun and it goes to an all-color showing. Bought me one of them! I also bought me a Chicago White Sox baseball hat and a glow-in-the-dark dragon statue. M.J. got herself a horse that was three different colors and that was so cool.

That will be all for today. I will try to report again tomorrow, if not Monday. Laterz and peace!
