I went back to A&A today with my dad in the hopes of possibly getting back my job, to no such luck. They only hire though the place I quit because I was tired of their ham-stringing. I talked to some old friends today while my dad was getting loaded. I do miss the place I'm not even going to joke anymore about it, I do miss it. It was fun, James is gone though, hopefully he is at that job he spoke about. Might have to see if I can get a job at Texas Tube, thats where my dad worked for 10 years. 100 hour weeks, but good money. Nevertheless, I feel like I may follow in my dads foot steps with pipe and whatnot.

Ive been working on a marimba piece, worked out one that was about 18 bars long, and then decided to scrap it, just wasnt what I thought it should be, I have until March 1st to have a completed piece done. I think that is amble time enough to get it done. Might work on a more rhythmic piece with a cantus firmus or something and have the second part me and overlay, a counterpoint marimba piece, that might be fun to try, and it would be a little different for me Im sure. I have a lot of fun doing music but Im not exactly sure why, never have been. Even when I was very little I always hated choir class, but Im not much of a singer, I can sing, but I dont like to sing. The in 5th grade I got my first taste of music theory and all that good happy horse shit. But thats a story thats been told before.

I need to get a job and I need to get a job soon and that pays good. Jessica isnt doing so hot, and I know it, shes not saying it but I can feel it from the way her words are coming out of her. Shes resting a lot more now, and shes taking more time off work. Im starting to worry a lot more than normal, shes a tough woman, but sometimes I wonder if shes going to be able to handle all the harder stuff.

Its rainy today, drizzly, muddy. At least we get to talk more today. Have fun people.
