here fishy fishy…
at my house we get excited about the simplest things. my brother came over this morning to put in my mom’s new dock. We live on a pond, and in our dreams of wanting it to be a lake, we put out docks. this is actually the first year my mom has had one, my brother has had one for 2.
So, he and his buddy are down on the shore, and all of a sudden, little brother starts screaming, “they’re living!!! they’re living!!!” What is? Fish. For many years we have been releasing fish into the pond, but there was always the suspicion that it froze out and didn’t support fish life. Well, not today! And now, my brother and his buddies have been over here trying to catch fish all day long. His one buddy just caught a large-mouth bass. Pretty exciting.
I have a feeling we are going to see alot more of him if he can fish better over here than at his place across the way…
Massages, Pedicures, and Manicures=well being
I just got done with my massage. I am loving life right now. I think that massages should be required and paid for by insurance. ok, wait, i don’t have insurance right now. umm, well, they should be paid for someone other than me so I can get them more often! Same goes for Manicures and Pedicures. Maybe I should set up a fund for people to buy those for me. Actually, pretty sure that won’t fly. oh well.
I am going home to enjoy the sunshine. Have a fantastic day!
Just give me the award now…
The following phone conversation took place the afternoon:
Me: Hello?
brother: Hey sister, whatcha doin?
(assorted converstaion follows!)
Brother: so, are you looking to make some extra money?
Me (cautiously): doing what?
Brother: My laundry…
Yeah, he is bringing it over tomorrow morning. I really am the best sister ever.
Went and bought a new comforter today…I needed one! Hopefully going to go get more unpacking done tonight and tomorrow.
I also started a new knitting project today. I am hoping to borrow my mom’s camera to put some pictures up on here soon.
Peace!
not so comic
Comic Sans font drives me crazy. and why is it that anyone who thinks kids will think it is “cool” uses it. IMHO, it is not visually appealing. boo to Comic Sans. Find a new font people! there are lots of options out there!
the extent of my fear
I hate snakes. Hate em. scared. to. death.
So last night i went to walk around in the yard, becuase it was so nice out. go to down to the pond, etc. so i am looking at the flowers that were coming up, and walking/limping towards the pond. and on the stump in front of me, a dead snake. I knew it was dead, i could tell. yet, I was scared out of my mind and i booked it into the house.
That is the extent of my fear, scared of dead snakes. wow.
A sad day
Well, I started at Wal-mart today. its a job, good. and actually, it will be pretty stress free i think. but i am still a little wary about working somewhere where I will need to do a cheer.
Had kind of a tough emotional day. First, i was feeling really kind of cruddy about myself. The training drove me crazy, becuase it was really slow moving, and i felt like most of it was common sense. I was getting down on myself about not having an acutal career. I mean, i guess I feel like at 25, I should at the very least be using my degree. I feel like my life has come to a standstill. and I hate that. a lot. I like to have a plan. I hate that i don’t have one. I hate that I am not 100% yet and there fore can’t look for another job. So i am driving home, and then my car craps out on me about a mile from home. all of a sudden, the speedometer started going down, and it won’t go above 45 mph. and, it sounds like crap. so, into the shop it goes, but probably not til thursday. frusterating.
I got home, my dad came over to help me with the car, i cried it out and vented with my mom. I also don’t think it helps that i ran out of my anti depressants. and, i don’t have insurance right now, so i have to try and get an appointment up at the reservation. and i don’t know what my work schedule looks like so i can’t do that yet. so that is my vent for the day!
now, i am thinking about going to bed and reading. i am tired and worn out, and all i did was sit all day. and oh goody, i get to do the same thing tomorrow.
Peace!
Unemployment, employment, and change
Well, I have offically not had a job for a week. Very strange. but, last week I got a job, I actually start tomorrow. I am going to be working at Wal-mart as a cashier. not ideal, but it is a job, it will pay the bills, and I will actually be able to save some money probably since i will be getting paid pretty good and I am paring down my expenses. I will be looking for another job, but I want to be 100% before I start applying.
The leg is doing good! I have an ankle brace on, and I am off of my crutches, which is amazing! my mom and i went shopping on Saturday, and I did most of the day with out a wheelchair. I just need to be pretty honest with myself about how I am feeling. I am going to attempt to walk down our driveway in a little bit…its a long driveway!
So, living at home again. so far so good. I wish i was unpacked, but I am not. I am going to work on that more this afternoon. My mom and I are getting along well, and with the exception of her computer driving me crazy, everything is working out quite nice. The computer is slow. I have been on for half an hour trying to get a video to download. it is important…the boyfriend was interviewed for one of his track kids, and I want to see it. I get to see him in person in 2 weeks! I can’t wait, since I haven’t seen him since October, due to things that keep coming up when we are supposed to see eachother, like broken legs.
So, I am in the process of trying to decide what I want to be when i grow up. A nurse, counselor, web designer, teacher, firefighter, really the list goes on and on. I am thinking nursing still, partly because it is realistic, attainable, and pays good. and i think i would be good at it. I am a caretaker.
well i suppose i better go walk a bit, then get ready to make dinner…I am making fajitas tonight.
Peace!
over heard in Kohls…
9 yr old boy, looks like a tough kid says…mom? how about this dress, this is nice
mom:i don’t think i like that pattern
boy: but it is so cool, and it would camouflage everything you want to hide…
The Appointment
Ok calm down…I know you are on pins and needles to see how my dr appt went today.
Good news! buh bye boot! I am out of the walking boot, into an ankle brace. Bad news, only one pair of shoes fits right now…oh well! Good News! I can drive again…you have no idea how good it felt to take myself to work! Good News! The dr sees no point in me going back to work full-time in the next couple of days…I like that because I don’t think I have that much to keep me busy!
Bad news…I still have the crutches. but only for a short amount of time, until i feel confident with out them. like I was today, walking around my house. but the weather is so crappy (SNOW!) that i would rather have them with me outside.
So, I am pretty pleased with my appointment. Now, I need to go get ready to hang out with kids tonight…my favorite thing about this job, and the one i am going to miss the most!
Peace!
