FML
So, a few weeks ago, I was in a car accident. I was leaving the Hastings Book Store parking lot when the car that was in front of me (huge 4X4) decided it wasn't ready to leave and backed right up my front end. Sweet. Well, I have had a rental for the last 3 weeks. I finally got my car back yesterday and what the hell, I get pulled over today, no proof of insurance and they tow my freaking car to the city impound. Really? I don't understand why I am so stupid sometimes. I got pulled over today for not giving a cop the right of way. I thought I was turning on to a two lane road so, I thought surely, I was ok. I wasn't. I was one block away from school to boot. So now, I have to figure out how to get home tonight, get back here tomorrow and get my car out of the impound. Sometimes I think that I set myself up to do stupid BS - why? I sabotage myself from the word go. I don't know. I am a tard. Whatever. FML

6 Days
I went to bed to late and woke up to early.
Took Toria to school, got lost, drove around the block. Dropped her off.
Came home and pretended like I was going to do things, sat on the couch.
Ordered Jimmy Johns for lunch. Took a shower. Went to the Hospital.
Had my evaluation. Got a B. Was pleased with my peer reviews. Got a raise.
Put in my requests for staff for surgery. Had a lot of discussion about my cervix.
Should I keep it, should I let it go? I don't know. Text my doc. Ask a million questions. You can have it.
Surgery is in 6 days. Picked Toria up from School. Went to US Cellular.
Toria dropped her phone in the toilet. And jumped on her glasses. Had to replace both. $210 BLAH!
Transferred contacts from old phone to her new phone. Came home. Cooked dinner.
Played on the computer. Talked to Kelly. She got the week off. She's coming
to take care of me. yeah. All 3 of the kids will be here with me. Yeah.
Going to bed too late, again.

August 29,2011
Oh, what a crazy day today was.
Dr. apt at 930 - Dr. Amie J says I can have my girly parts out. "Dysmenorrhea"
Chiropractor apt at 1045 - Late. 1050 - traction for 12 minutes, adjustment.
PT at 130 - E-stim. Yeah. Love. that. machine.
Go down to work, talk to my boss, tell her I am scheduled for surgery.
Off work for 6 more weeks.
Visit with my work peeps a bit. Head to my car. Can't find my keys.
Talking to Kelly on the phone and my phone beeps that I have another call.
It's outpatient rehab. Your keys are up here. Do you need them? Uh, ya. I'll be back.
Get home, get mail, go to the bank, deposit some checks, head off to school.
Get to school. Take care of business. Go to class. My teacher is cool.
I only half way listen to him because my ADHD still flows thru during class.
I have to multi-task when I am there. While he lectures, I do homework. Frustrating.
Time to switch classes. Change cloths. Lock keys in car. Wait for locksmith.
Cough up $40, for less than 30 seconds of work. Well, I guess I should count his
drive time. 15 minutes. I should have been a locksmith. do you have to go to school
for that? Anyway, get keys. Go to class. Do a weird lab assignment. Go home.
Have a good convo with the girl child. Sleep.

Whirlwind of Six Months!
Wow,
What an incredible journey my last six months has been! I stayed in Portland for a month and was there to see my sister get married. I left 2 days after the wedding and headed off to Kearney, Nebraska. A small town in the middle of the country, litterally. 1733 miles from Boston, 1733 miles from San Francisco. I got a job at Good Sam hospital and having been working my hind end off and trying to enjoy it! I have been having a lot of issues with depression and missing my family. I have been hospitalized twice for medication alterations and trying to "snap out" of my funk. I am getting there. I am getting happier and happier each day. I went shopping today for a bunch of stuff to get my house looking like my home. I bought a new couch, bed, tv, tv stand and a vacuum cleaner. I bought some pictures for the walls and hopefully this place will be feeling like home in no time. My bed and couch will be delivered next Saturday. I can't wait!! I will be busy cleaning house this weekend getting everything cleared up. I bought a sewing machine and started decorating cakes. I am starting to enjoy things more. I hope it keeps up.

BLAR!
So, today is not starting off to be a very great day. I got an email from HR saying that I didn't get the job I was so hoping for. WTF. Whatev~ I just keep plugging along. This new grad shit is so sucky. I have seriously applied for, called on, followed up with over 100 employers and nothing - 1 interview. It will come. I know I have to be patient but on days like today, I want to punch someones face in, not be patient.

Trying Week!
I can't believe that I have been here about 10 days already and I lost a my debit card that has all of my spending money and my bank is in Denver. I am such a knob. I wonder how I made it to be 38? Anyway, things have been a bit crazy and hectic here and I think that I want to scream but for the most part, I am getting by. I wanted to be moved into an apt by now but with this little money debacle, it will be put off a bit. No worries. I am just plugging along. Toria is going to camp 4 days a week and it gives me 3 hours every day to have some me time which is really nice. I am going crazy waiting for this job to come thru but, I will survive. They said this week and well, there is only one more day left in the week so.....the clock ticks on!
I am having a lot of fun visiting with old friends and family. We got to spend a couple of nights in Tacoma with Toria's Grandpa which was super nice. I visited with friends from days gone LONG past! Here in Portland, I get to see my sister almost every day. That is super nice. I think I have seen her more in the last 10 days than I have in the last 10 years! And my best friend Christa of 30 years lives close to me too! I see her a lot also. As a matter of fact, I am going over to her house to drop off Toria tonight!! =) Toria and I have been doing a lot of fun stuff. We went to the Columbia river, Mount St. Helen's (AWESOME) we have been in 6 states in the last 2 weeks and done a lot of site seeing! =) I have a ton of photos to upload but I don't have internet at home so, those will have to wait!
I have been given the opportunity to work as a Child Care provider for a special needs little girl named Jada. She is cute as can be and her family is super. The problem is, that job is in Avondale, AZ and obviously not in the Surgical field. It would be temporary until 2 things, I get a job and they find a permanent provider for her. I was beaming when I was approached. I feel being entrusted with someone elses child is the biggest blessing someone can bestow on you. What an honor. What a gesture of trust!
Well, I don't have internet at home which really stinks but, I have been coming to the library filling out job aps and playing on facebook. The library here gives you 2 hours a day which is super. Anyway, life is good and hopefully things will pick up in a few minutes. I want that job =)

Last Packing Day.
OMG - It is 650am and I HAVE to be done TODAY. I fear this won't happen. I have so much stuff to get done. This morning alone I have to go to Hobby Lobby, Walmart, target, Bed bath and beyond, The Gathering Place and then to the Mental Health Center of Denver. That is just the out of the house stuff that I have to do. I have to finish the rest of the stuff inside. Most of the stuff will seem not so overwhelming once the person who is taking the last of the big stuff gets here. I think that will help.
Oh goodness, I am having an anxiety attack over this whole move. Am I doing the right thing?! I made such a quick decision. I am ready for this. I need this and I CAN do this!!
Ok, it is now 1050 and speed is picking up. In the last 4 hours, we went to breakfast, Wal-mart, Target, Hobby Lobby and Bed, Bath and Beyond. I am waiting now for a husband and wife to come and get the rest of the stuff that I am giving away. They are donating it to their church. I am super happy about that. Hopefully another couple of hours and this will be done!
240 and FINALLY starting to load the car. The kitchen is finally done. Thank goodness. Turning on the radio and getting ready to jam out and get this done!
420 and Toria has been up in her room quiet for over an hour. I think Abhishek will be here soon to pick up a lot of stuff too. I need to go upstairs and get the desk and her bed and TV. I really don't want to bring any stuff down but I suppose I don't have much of a choice. LOL I have a few more little errands to run tomorrow and then I should be ready to go. I am procrastinating like crazy. Ok. Going to make a move now. Really. GO!
