Army Post Road

     So far this stay in Cedar Rapids/Iowa City has been pretty fabulous.  I enjoy working at 504 a TON better than either store in Des Moines.  There are fewer customers overnight so even though my list of things I have to do every night is longer I get it done lots earlier and I don't get super-stressed at work and it's just working out lots better than 541 or 500.  I really hope I can stay longer than just two weeks.  Not to mention work has been much more pleasant and enjoyable, BUT I'M SEEING MY FRIENDS! Today was the first day that I haven't seen anyone (minus Liz right after I woke up but that was more a continuation of last night) and that was largely by choice while I slept.  Yesterday I saw Liz (we're talking about two different Liz's), Jen, Bob, Steve, and Liz (and I have the feeling there were more just I'm not remembering right off). Prior to this week, I hadn't seen Bob and the second Liz since December and Jen since April.  I've actually seen pretty much everyone except Patti so far.  Hopefully we won't go this entire time without seeing each other, that would be really sad.  
    I wish I had Thursdays off while I'm here though, so I could go out on Thursday nights.  Last Thursday night was pretty awesome. 
    One of the greatest things in the world is I get the ignition interlock taken out of my car and I get my license back on TUESDAY!!!!!!!!!!  Finally, after six months, I can drive without having to blow into that stupid little box and looking over my shoulder for cops (I had just about the closest call yesterday as I'd had this whole time).  I really hope I can go back to driving at Cambus this fall.  I absolutely need to find some way to be back in school this fall and to get the University to let me drive again.
