Pretty much. I had to spend Saturday til Tuesday at Cabell Huntington Hospital with my mom, and then almost got bit by a copperhead today while mowing. Only thing saved me was it had a frog in its mouth.

I hate copperheads. The last one I killed was completely gone after the second shot of 3inch 00bk magnums, but I went ahead and shot the remaining 4 shots on the left over hunks.

Yeah...

I've been helping a friend of mine scrap an old 70's Datsun pickup that he was given.

All I can say is, Nissan products from the 70's, do NOT hold up well to rust.

It literally fell apart as we moved it around.



On another note, I have enough petrol funds for the 5.5hr work simulation for Kelly Temp agency, at TMMK in Georgetown.

That's on the 21st.

Friday is an eye exam. Fingers crossed I haven't gotten any worse eyesight than my last exam ~8-10 years ago.

Thanks guys, I'm literally attempting to get almost anything I can find.

Working on this, and if it doesn't pan out, etc there's still the union Millwrights' assessment in September to look forward to.

Really wanting to find a job away from Magoffin County, so I can just move.

That's about it. I'm wanting away from here so badly...

Sure, I could go get another minimum wage, 10 hours per week job, but what would it profit me?
