you never miss the water 'till the well runs dry.

I am so excited for many reasons. The primary, and most important reason is because my sister was finally allowed to come home. After so much legal confusion, and written documentations (ick...), the legal system allowed Courtney to come home under one condition: that my mom won't mess up again. Honestly, I don't think she will. We've all been missing her too much to fuck up this wonderful thing we have. In the words of my wise grandfather, "You never miss the water 'till the well runs dry". Such a true statement. I can't agree with it more now, than ever.

Courtney and I were never extremely close, which I will permanently feel is my fault. However, she's back! On Wednesday, August 5, we're going to get her registered for school. We also need to take her school supplies shopping. We'll be able to handle it though. I'm thinking in the winter, I might have to get a part-time job if the hotel gets too slow. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it :)

I also got a checking & savings account with Bank of America a couple days ago. I couldn't find ANYONE who'd cash my check. I finally sucked it up and decided to go to the bank. It was almost a sign. I needed an account, and the only possibility I had of getting my check cashed was at the bank. So, my check is on hold until August 7; hopefully sooner than that though. I get my debit card next week, probably. It'll have an earth on it. (It's so me!)

On Tuesday, I need to go to the DMV to get a South Carolina State ID, because I still don't have my license yet, due to whatever reason. But, my bank won't cash checks without a "valid" ID. By valid I mean not expired. My permit is WAYYY expired. Turns out, the bank wouldn't have been able to cash it anyways. Who woulda known?!

More updates as follows. Today, I'm going to get me a new pair of "working" shoes. The shoes I was wearing to work in, are coming apart. Literally. I need some comfortable shoes to work in that won't make my feet hurt bad like they have been. :/

Courtney's been spending a lot of time with Georgia since she's been here, which is fine. That means I can go do my "erranding" today, no questions asked. ;)

That's all for now. More Tuesday.

Cuidate!
