I'm definitely not doing well at work, my attendance has been very bad in the last few months and my turnaround on my work has been horrible because I have had tremendous trouble concentrating. I counted 26 text messages from him while I was at work, and 38 total counting when I was at the store and driving home. Each and every one I either asked him to stop texting me or simply responded to his question without causing him the need to respond back to me again. He just had new stuff to bug me about. That adds up to a lot of lost time at work.

So I did well for a while but I'm having a lot of trouble being able to continue doing that.
Oh, girl, this is so hard. I had a terrible time getting through school, too, and sometimes I just had to let one class go in order to save the rest. Don't let the incomplete or failing grades get to you. Keep plugging away. It's the cumulative grade that matters in the end.

I always comforted myself knowing that I was working towards a place where I could support myself, and I knew he's still be kicking around the same old places long after I was gone. And he is.
