Another Kinda Short Update

Things are really turning around for me now! I made the right decision in keeping my current job; the store manager left, and now the new store manager is the former assistant manager, and she and I get along really really well. She's giving me more hours, she doesn't yell at me, she lets me use the cash register, I'm not stuck at the front of the store all day, we talk and joke around, they're calling me to come in if someone calls in sick (that never happened before), it's awesome. Not only that, but I have a job interview tomorrow for a full time position at another store. My manager said she'd be more than happy to work around my schedule at my other job, which is great 'cause I don't want to leave my current job, I love working there. I sure hope I get this other job, though. Even though I'm getting more hours than I ever have now at my current job, it's still not enough to sustain me. I need about 40 hours a week. Wish me luck tomorrow! As for the thing with my dad, he's doing okay and is having more and more tests done, most of which are coming back negative. We were told the lesions on his brain are most likely from mini-strokes, which he has had in the past, so they're probably nothing new. The neurologist is still doing more tests, but the doctors are starting to think his symptoms are due to coming off Effexor, which he's been on for years, and the symptoms he's having are pretty much the same as when he was on it and would miss a day. Hopefully it's as simple as that, but we'll see. All other things aside, I'm gonna start a new hobby. I want to be a ventriloquist! I'm researching the how-to's, and mom and dad might get me a dummy for Christmas. It's something I've always wanted to do. But for now, I have to finish the laundry. Talk at ya later!
