Theres never enough time in a day for me anymore. I wake up and I'm always going, going, going, til I finally collaspe back into bed in the late hours of the morning.

I'm practically working full time at work these days, but I did ask for more hours so I'm not complaining. Although, 31 hours in three days is pretty intense, and tiring.

I've worked a few 15 hours days as well, including like, my regular 7 - 9 hour shifts. I'm loving the paychecks though, so I guess the work is worth it.

I have a purpose for my money these days, too. Well, somewhat. I've never really saved for anything before, except for when I want to buy something specific, and I have a price. But now, I'm saving $200 - $300 from every paycheck. I'm completely re-forming my wardrobe for back to school time.

You may think thats a waste of my money, but atleast I've got a goal.

Then theres Ricky, who wants to spend practically every waking moment together. Well, thats a bit of exaggeration, but I have been spending the majority of my free time with him lately.

The nice part is, everything we do is pretty laid back. We're almost always chilling with Emily and Brody at their house, and sometimes Sam and Mike are there, too.

It's so nice to have a relationship that suits me, though. Like, there are so many good things about this relationship that make me so happy, I doubt I could even list them all off.

My friends like him -- Elexis even knew him before she knew me, so thats good. Wendy's met him, and she loves me. My entire work adores him, and my managers have been keeping a close eye on me lately to make sure that I'm being good, because they want to make sure I don't fuck things up with him.

He likes my friends -- They may not all be friends, but he atleast wants to meet them, and know them, and he at the very least puts up with them for me. He even drove to Wendy's house to pick her up, drove her to McDonalds and then drove her home. How sweet is that?

He trusts me -- He knows that I have a past, but you know what? So does everyone else in the world. I haven't done anything to make him not trust me, and I've been open with him about all my guys friends. He knows the line between being concerned and being controlling, too.

And the sex isn't half bad either, so I'm not complaining.

Anyways, I have to leave for work now, or I'm going to be late.
