So I have a full time job! Most of you know that already but for those of you who don't...there you have it. I got on full time at the place where I did my internship. I do case management, teach independent living classes and plan activities at a home for upwards of 160 residents. It's really fun. The other day I found out the best part! The company insurance will wave my pre-existing condition! That means that I can have insurance. Like for real, go in, pay the small co-pay and be on your way insurance! They pay for almost everything! I am so excited! I didn't think they would. |

Although we are all biased and have our own experiences we must sometimes over come, it really bothers me when people write off whole groups of people based off of extremely narrow points of view or perspective. Especially when it's someone you trust and admire. I really felt uncomfortable around you for the first time. |

I posted a little bit on facebook, but I'm excited! I found out today that I got a full time job! It's at Rockhill Academy which is a residential facility for people with mental illnesses. I have been doing an internship there since January and I am excited to start full time after I graduate! It's good experience in my field and will definitely get me through grad school so I can do what I really want! |

So I've been waiting for some blood work to come back. I found out at a pharmacy dinner for my new work, that patients with low vitamin D and various myalgia's like fiber myalgia and what I have, often get signifcantly better after being bombarded with Vitamin D. So I got excited, and asked my doctor to test me, hoping that it would be low because while it's super bad for your energy levels and your bones, it may really help my pain if I get it up. Any number under 30 is treatable. They like your numbers to be between 30-100, with a target of about 70. My number was 12. Which is bad. Luckily the fix is a $3 over the counter jar of vitamin D suppliment, and going outside with out sunscreen in the summer! I'm so excited to start the vitamin D and I really hope it helps! One day, I will drive, and write with my hands...although most of the time, in private, I'll probably still write with my elbow!
I think it's crazy that over 20 specialists can't figure this out, but me and my family doctor are kickin it's butt! |

This is whiny xanga type B.S., But I might actually send it to a couple of people.
You act like it's my fault, I got married and you didn't/or I got married and you want to act all old and reclusish (I don't think that's a word) since you're with someone and think I should too. Well don't blame this on me, or him. I invite you to parties, I call you and you're too busy for me. You make empty promises that don't mean anything. And I'm not saying I'm innocent, I know I'm not. I'm flaky, and not everyone likes me, and I can be hyper, over react and hard to handle, but I'm trying, why can't I get the same from you? I've lost all my friends once and I feel after I graduate It'll happen again. I feel like a friend of convenience, an old blanket that's comfortable, but one you would never show in public. I just don't want to loose the friends I've worked so hard to keep. So just come over...please.
That doesn't make any sense.... |

So Friday evening a really great guy who was like a surrogate g-pa to my sibs. and I passed away. It really sucks, but on the "bright side" he had really bad diabetes and it could have been a lot worse.
His wife appreciated the irony that he was wearing his custom made red Star Trek away team shirt, that's why they're my adopted family!

| Fall break |
[Oct. 16th, 2008|12:43 pm] |
So I guess it time for a real update. It's fall break which means we have a week off school! Last weekend Kenan and I went to Springfield for a Scion show. It was really fun, kenan got to show his car, and have professional pictures of it, and we got tons of scion stuff. We've been back from Springfield for a couple of days and tonight I leave for Tulsa for a work conference. It should be fun, I don't see how it could be boring, it's not like event planners have the same rap as accountants :) I'm excited, but this will be the first time I spend the night away from Kenan since we got married :( lol!
So life's pretty fun! |

So I realized I forgot to tell everyone I'm on a new medicine! And it's actually helping! It's been a God send...no lie! And my mom said she's heard of people going up to 600 milligrams and I'm only on 200! So yeah, that's really excited! I may get a lot better!
This really couldn't have come at a better time! I've been miserable and haven't been able to get anything done. I got to the point where I was ready to just go on narcotics because I couldn't function anyway because of the pain. But this is better because it has way less side effects and it doesn't make you dependent.
I think everything that's been going on with my disability lately is what made today so hard! It's national talk like a pirate day and so as our school mascot is the pirate, I was sitting outside with my laptop along with a couple of people passing out pirate names. I didn't really want to do it because I was worried someone would say something stupid about me writing with my elbow, or that I'd have to explain why 15 million times, but I didn't want to let the pain dictate my life. So I'm out there and everything was fine until I hear this girl laughing and whispering. She keeps laughing and gets louder "look at that girl! Why is she writing like that? She's writing with her elbow look!" Then I hear another girl laughing. I've cried all day. Even though I know I shouldn't let that bitch get to me....I can't help it. |

So I want a hobby. I'm kind of an obsessive person and I think that I could just be channeling some of my......energy elsewhere. Everyone around me has hobbies, many are productive, some aren't, but it doesn't matter. People can just spend hours just doing that one thing and be completely content. There is nothing that I feel I could be that interested in. At least I guess I just haven't found it yet. Any ideas? Anyone? Oh yeah and did I mention they have to cripple friendly? That's like a boa constrictor right around the neck of a good idea. |

Another friend from home is in a comma, so pray for him, or whatever.

So it's 2:07am and I officially go back to work in 5 hours and 53 minutes. This week has been so great! I've loved hanging out with Kenan, working on the house and just starting a new life. I'm really excited about this year and thanking God that it's been going better than last year! I feel like now that my family's all settled back in their house and I'm officially living with Kenan things will be A LOT calmer! Also I'm only having two jobs (and only working 25-30 hours a week) this year which will be really nice! I'm just excited to start out the new school year as a senior and a wife, and not a workaholic, I think it's time I start making plans for life after Park and moving off campus is a good start, not to mention the fact that I won't be on the executive board of three student organizations is going to help a lot as well.
I think a fresh start is exactly what I needed....and I'm happy to get one! |

Every thing's broken in my room!!
1. My toilet has never worked right, since I moved in! They come and work on it but since it flushes (barely) they don't care.
2. My sink is draining slow, once again not a big deal, but annoying.
3.My internet doesn't work, and hasn't for like a week.
4. The cable is out right now which is fine because that means everyone will get more channels in the fall, but today everyone's entire t.v. wasn't working, no local channels, no nothing!
5. And finally my door stopped working. Some of you may know that I have an electronic door on my room with a keypad because I can't do locks or round door knobs. I've had to have someone let me into my room 4 times in the last day and a half! this is frustrating.
I'm so done with it which is probably good, because even though it's not much that room has been home for the last 3 years! I'll miss it, and I'll miss living with my friends!
Oh well 9 more days and then I'm gone! |

Why don't you just stop making promises and actually come through for once! Oh and if you're soooo worried about me, stop saying how worried you are about me! It's pissing me off!!!!!
Anyway 6 weeks until D-day. |

So I just got a phone call that the pastor who was supposed to do our wedding resigned. I'm kind of upset at this because it's the second pastor we've had for the wedding. I'm kind of frustrated at the bad luck surrounding the wedding! Does anyone know if constant problems planning the wedding is any kind of good luck...you know bad weather is supposed to be good luck.....so I'm just wondering.
Anyway..... |

I just love the reaction I get from people whenever they find out I'm engaged. "Oh, so when are you getting married? Not soon I hope!" "Actually we're getting married in August." "Really ?....Well congratulations! How long have you known about this? (like it's cancer!)" "Oh, since November." "Really? How come you didn't tell anyone?" At this point I debate saying one of a few things A) Because I hate you. B)Because I knew you'd have something smart to say about me getting married at 19 when I've still got a year of my undergrad left and I don't want to hear it. C)Because he beats me and told me not to, don't tell him I told you. D) oh we just kind of keep to ourselves. I normally pick D although I would love to pick another option. I know everyone means well really I do, but I wish people would just let me make my own decisions. I've made a lot of decisions in my life that weren't very popular at the time but have worked out just fine. I don't think I've screwed my life up too much thus far, in fact I think I've done a pretty good job. Getting married to Kenan is something that I believe is very important and it's a priority. For some reason people think that being married and having a successful career is impossible...But let me have my cake and eat it too....at least until I get a stomach ache!
In other news: Finals are over!!!!!!!!! No 4.0 but I think my grades will be fair. |
