We Have Been Eating Math

I am still in awe why in every test that we have to take we always have to deal with loud mathematics. If not all, at least the basics. My brain is getting old and lazy and its not fun to do some long mathematics refresher in preparation for that one test you've been dreaming to score the highest. Duh...

In between Honey and me, he is the most susceptible to mathematics learning. I know that I need not stereotype or give in to the stereotyping, but I admit, in our case, the guy is always good at numbers. I just hate numbers forever! That doesn't mean though that I could not deal with them. I have been trying.

The test that we are about to take on the second week of July will have Arithmetic Reasoning and Mathematics Knowledge. I have been doing well with the previous and I am battling with a lot of formulas in the latter. We did a short test together last night and it seems that I have so far retained and absorbed all that I have reviewed so far, and it feels great! Really.

Two weeks to go before the big day. This test will determine if we will qualify in the Military. This is part of the steps we are taking to join the United States Navy.

Looking For A New Nest

It has been really busy. Honey's 29th birthday even went unnoticed. We had a dinner for five at a local fancy buffet and that's about it. The TV killed all the excitement, which is pretty cool as far as I am concerned, that way, we both got what we wanted with lesser hassle. Parties are not for us anymore.

So I took a two-day time off from work, plus a day off which is my regular day off so that makes it four days in a row without work! Exciting isn't it? Or at least the thought of it. We thought we would be going away for Honey's birthday but he got a note from his doctor to rest for five days because his shouldered was injured, and I really hope it gets better. He moves a lot and plays a lot of active sports and I couldn't afford the thought of him being badly hurt. Anyway, so since we were looking for a new place, I spent the most of my time off scouting for apartments near Interstate 880 and 101 so that we could move closer to where Honey works his second job.

The three days have been productive. We found two places in different locations that we are comfortable living. One is a one-bed one bath apartment for $1250 a month at a cozy place in Willow Glen. We fell in love with the place instantly and thought of just moving there, but then last night we both feel that the place is just too big for the two of us, and it is not even likely that we could utilize the living room, so we switched to another option. This morning we went to a studio apartment in a quiet neighborhood and found the place really okay at $1050 a month. The place is still huge, only that the kitchen doesn't have a divider and I worry about the smell that would stick into our bed after cooking. Right now I am in the middle of scouting for dividers of folding screens that we could use as partitions at my favorite Bed Bad and Beyond! I am scouting for a little bit of home remedies too to make our space really livable and clean. I don't want to go out of the house smelling like bacon!

We just faxed our application two hours ago and I am pretty sure that we would be approved for the unit. I like everything about that studio except for the outdated kitchen appliances, which is pretty much the least of my concerns. The neighborhood is superb, parking shouldn't be a problem, plus the bathroom is really pretty and it has a lot of storage space.

I can't wait to move!
