Have you ever had friends who were your best friend until something monumental like marriage or a new baby came along?  I have a friend who is a few years younger than I am who I thought was my best friend.  I got married but still made time to keep in touch with my friends who were not in the same town I lived in.  I had a baby and still try to keep in touch with friends.  Said friend had a birthday recently and we have kind of lost touch due to marriage and my child but I called to wish her a happy birthday.  I have not heard one word from her.  I guess we have really lost touch now.  I don't like that fact because I do not have too many friends to hang out and do things with because of the fact that marriage, children, or moving away play into the picture.

I am also a bit down because I have had my hours cut severely due to "not having a very high percent to trans" which translates into not selling enough of the items in the retail store at work.  So until my hours come back up I am only going to work.  I am not eating at the establishment nor am I going to purchase retail items.  The economy is horrible and we should be lucky that people are even entering our establishment to eat or look around.  Plus, I am not a shopper who likes someone looking over my shoulder and constantly asking if I am finding everything ok or if I need any help. 

On a positive note though, I am going to take a class during the first session of summer school and I am taking nine credit hours of classes in the fall.  All at the Community College but hey it's a step in the right direction toward a degree.
