Frustrated

Hey guys remember me?

Here's how today went: I still haven't been paid for working for two months. Apparently my address isn't legitimate and my paycheck was sent back to the place I work. This happened about a week ago, but I had to call them and be like "What the heck guys?" and they were like "Oh yeah...we forgot to tell you about that." so that was fun. I was planning on using said paycheck to help fund a journey out to Dayton, Ohio to visit my family and bring my new lady-friend to meet them. I was going to ride with a guy who was headed up to some place in Michigan for spring break, but when we google-maps'd it...stopping off in Dayton would practically double his driving time (not to mention the cost of gas). While I guess he hasn't quite said "No." yet, he seemed fairly dodgy about it and I can only understand if he's opposed to the idea. I have it open in another tab right now, and the more I look at it, the less hope I get that he'll eventually get back to me and say "Well, it's a little out of the way, but we'll make it happen (despite your lack of ability to financially contribute)." There's only so far that people will go out of their way for you. Even if they're Mormons.

Still...less frustrating than sewing...

ON THE PLUS SIDE: I have a wonderful girlfriend, and no number of cancelled plans or ruined sewing projects can take that away from me (I suppose technically they could, but that would be quite an epidemic). I'm so lucky to have her, and every morning and every night I get down on my knees and thank Heavenly Father for the unique opportunity that I've had to not only meet her and get to know her, but to start an equally beneficial romantic relationship with her. I would endure all the cancelled trips in the world just to keep going what we have now...

...of course, I definitely wouldn't be opposed to taking the next step in romantic relationship...ing.
