Wednesday!

[tacocat]

Morning!

I have been so slammed lately with work and school that I have not even lurked that much lately. I miss it here and hope you all are well!

I got the best news last night. I got my senior practicum at the place I wanted (like an internship). This can help me get a job later and is amazing experience. I am so excited for summer now.

I am planning our pinning ceremony and there has been so much drama, I will have to share it all when I get home.

Work has been busy with no calm in sight but that means more hours for me do i will take it.

That's exciting that you got into the place you wanted! Hopefully that means a job at the end!

It's Wednesday, which means it's everyone's long day, so they're cranky. LOL

DH had to watch the kiddos by himself yesterday since B/SIL called out sick. Poor guy was so tired, but he did it!

We have our Miracle Day next Wednesday. This is the MRI that will tell us if they actually removed what they went in to get during his surgery. I'm trying not to be nervous.

I am doing everything I possibly can not to have an absolute breakdown. I don't know if I mentioned that my sister has been fighting something. She had pain in her side and was throwing up so I took her to the walk in they said uti, she went to the ER they said kidney infection, then it wasn't and then an ultrasound that showed fluid "in" her fallopian tubes and a mass in her uterus. Then another consultation, fluid is "around" tubes. Then biobsy/blood work for endometrial and fallopian tube cancers. Biopsy was neg for endo and blood work came back with elevated marker for FT but not high enough to say cancer. Yesterday was another ultrasound - mass has grown and now another biopsy.


SHE IS 22! She had my nephew at 16, that accident two and a half years ago and now this. Guys.. WHY CAN'T I PROTECT HER?!?!? Why has nothing bad ever happened to me! Why is the world trying to take my sister from me!

ugh I am just trying to keep it together and be strong for her. She's crying to me saying she doesn't want to die. And what do I say?


This week is just ...not successful. Can I get a do over?

OH and some asswad was parked in my spot last night at our apt complex to I honked for them to come move. I guess my neighbor then overheard him threatening to vandalize my car so I was anxious and worried about that all night too.

picksthemusic, I'm keeping your family in my thoughts and all the positive vibes I can send are going your way in this next week!

@aellasbeth, 22 is too damn young for all of that Also keeping your family in my thoughts and lots of vibes to your sister.

I'm a pretty happy Seattle sports fan, but I don't want to jinx anything so I won't say much right now I went to a trivia night last night with friends and we tied for 2nd place (out of 11 teams), but we had to do a dance-off to get the 2nd place prize (a gift cert to the brewery we were at). We did not win, but they allowed us to have Conan as our dancer (I bribed him with treats to perform).

@pickthemusic I really hope everything comes out clear for you guys

@volare congratulations!

My ultrasound redo is tomorrow afternoon. I am super nervous and it's starting to distract me now. I can't wait until it's over at the same time I am dreading it.

Not sure what I want to do at work today, so I am having trouble getting started. Instead I picked out a Seattle Reign track jacket I want to buy myself.

Today should be a chill normal day, so the last one in a little bit, so I am super excited about that.

@aellasbeth Major hugs sweetie, that's really stressful <3

Class last night was good, learned a bunch of cool stuff about the newer versions of the program. Wish I got to use it at my job. :/ Sleep wasn't restful but at least I dreamed that Alton Brown was divorced and fell in love with me and we got married, hehe. I start a new class tonight, one of the portfolio ones which will mean design homework.

Congrats tacocat!

madDawg228, thank you! We're optimistic, but of course, there is always reality to ruin that.

@aellasbeth, I'm so sorry your sister is going through this. You will be a great support no matter what - I'm sending T&Ps your way.

[madDawg228]

karebear219, I'm sending you all the happy, healthy, sticky vibes. I hope the time until tomorrow goes quickly! You've been waiting 2-weeks-ish? That is so crazy long

Yup it's been torture. Luckily it has also been super busy for the most part so the days are just going by. I have a feeling the next 48ish hours are just going to drag though.

picksthemusic, good thoughts for your H.
@aellasbeth, sorry about you sister.
tacocat, happy you stopped in.

I'm grouchy today, and I'm trying to figure out why. Traffic was fine and I stopped for a coffee. The cup was smooshed under the lid so it spilled when I was coming into work. But I got a coffee and don't have to drink the nasty stuff they have at my office.

My work is boring me to death. I am trying to settle in here and build relationships and enjoy myself, but I just don't care about what's happening here and that's been a difficult adjustment for me...one that I didn't expect. My boss is now asking me to write these procedures that I have NO idea about. I told her I wasn't confident that I knew what to do with that, but that I would give it my best try, but honestly, I don't even know where to start.

Although my old work keeps saying that they are wanting to bring me back this summer, I feel like that's unlikely at this point. I am helping them implement a new system and once that's up and running, I think they will have less of a need for me. Which is a bummer and I guess I had gotten my hopes up that it would work out even though I knew it was a long shot.

I have nothing good to add today so I am just going to send hugs to everyone. If you are having a hard time or just not a good day, i'm sending you a hug. And if you are having a decent day just consider it an added bonus tacocat, georgeharrison, @ksta, karebear219, madDawg228, @aellasbeth, picksthemusic,

[tacocat]

Thanks everyone. I am over the moon right now. 2+ years of really hard work may pay off!
