Last night me and my family went to a party celebrating the return of some friends of ours from their cruise. and we cooked out and had a good time.  Although, when they started talking about their vacation it made me want to be on a vacation.  I started thinking about when we went on our cruise for my brother and sisters graduation.  This was a great time and I will never forget that trip due to the fact that I won $300 dollars in the casino on the ship.  We also saw many things on the island that we visited on the trip and I got to smoke my first Cuban cigar.  I am certainly looking forward to our family reunion in August of this year where I can see more of my family that I have not seen in a long time.  I have had several times where a vacation would just be the perfect thing for me so that I can get away from all of the stress that is going on in my life at this time.      

My life at this point is a big stressor.  This is due to the fact that I had to resign from my job due to the fact that I had a disorder and I am currently recieving no income.  So now my checking account is decreasing rapidly and I am in the process of having to fight social security to get benefits with a lawyer.  Although it takes forever for social security to ever make their decision.  I hope that this issue will be resolved quickly so that I can have one less stressor to deal with in my life.  I have completed my jury duty and found it to be a very interesting experience even though it took up my entire day and I was exhausted at the end of the day.  I am also still trying to prepare for this national CCA certification exam which will be coming up on July 13.  I hope that all of these stressful issues will end in a good way so that I can get my life back to normal and I will be able to relax.
