Well today was ok. I got interviewed for a job at a nursing home which went really well. In order to work at the nursing home I have to get a TB test, and physical, and do some job orientation all before I start working there. I'm actually pretty excited!

The one bad part about today was that I found out I had poison ivy on my arm and my face. The problem is I've never had poison ivy before and I can't remember being around it. I've managed to control the spreading on my face which is a good thing because it's close to my eyes. My parents think what I have on my arm is poison ivy but what's on my face is due to the recent pregnancy scare I had. Does this make sense to anyone else?

My day's going pretty well. Loving the event, and I tried out Door Dash for the first time. It's a food delivery app, and I'm used to not being able to get things delivered because of where I live, which isn't in a major city. But not only were they available in my area, I was able to get food from my fave Vietnamese restaurant without having to get dressed and go down there myself. It'll be great for days when I don't have spoons to cook for myself OR go out for a meal.

Thankfully, I'm a fan of diversified income -- so I had 2 jobs and a business up until today, so at least some money was coming in while he was unemployed.

Hubby starts a new job this week, so today was my last day working outside the home (I didn't technically work today, but I told them today that I couldn't come back for my next schedule workweek). His new work schedule wasn't compatible with my legal career. Sigh. Now I'm down to "just" one full-time job and my business (plus my usual gig as a full-time mom, haha).

It's weird, I've been working in law for so long that it's really become a part of my identity, and I'm not sure how I feel without that.

Just got out of work on the busiest day of the year and it's still bright outside. I feel like the worst is over and I have an easy year ahead of me maybe? Well. Happy Mother's Day!

Happer Mother's Day to you, too, and glad you got to spend it with your mom! But OMFG at still having poison ivy! I'm so glad I don't have to worry about that stuff here. xD

I don't even know how I got it. It showed up on my arm one day and then spread to my face. It's so close to my eye I'm afraid that my eye is going to puff up. I'm using three different kinds of anti-itch medicines and so far none of them have worked. I'm not supposed to scratch it because that's how it can spread. This freaking sucks!

Today is going good so far. I still have poison ivy but I can deal with it. I tried another anti-itch medicine and guess what...it doesn't work! I swear, I'm immune to every single medicine ever except birth control and anxiety medicine.

I'm so happy and excited for this week. As of today I have a week and three days of school left and Friday is the senior trip to Holiday World! I'm so excited because I'm going to spend some time with my best friend. I so want to graduate.

Also found out that I may have to stay with my dad up in Indianapolis for about a week while he's going through chemo. It's sort of a good thing because I don't get to see my dad that often and this would be a chance for us to spend time with each other. On the other hand it may get in the way of my new job, if they hire me that is. I also don't want him to have to ask grandma to go up there and take care of him because they don't get along at all. So, hope for the best.

my day was horrible.

i got triggered by a person i cannot stand. i am still angry.. though a few hours passed. i even told them a really nasty thing that is out of my character to say to someone. it was just the heat of the moment and wasnt thinking straight.

i want this day over with already.

i'm thankful for the food on my table and the roof over my head, as well as the clothes on my body. [trying to bring positive vibes]

I really have to update my blog ObscureJourney and my review site BeingObscure. French speakers can read my reviews here.

I need to rant about yesterday. My day was ok up until I got home. My face was red from my poison ivy and I was miserable the whole day. I was scratching at it, which is a bad idea, and it started to spread over my entire arm. My mom took me to the doctor and they think that it's not poison ivy but an allergic reaction to something. Problem is I don't know what I could be allergic to. The doctor gave me two different medications to help treat what I have so that's a plus.

I woke up this morning and the first thing I did was look in the mirror. The redness on my face has gone down dramatically and the swelling on my arm has gone down too. I think the doctor said if I keep this up it will hopefully be better by the end of the week. I just want this to be gone.

Today should go well. I have a fun day of classes prepared for me. I should be doing nothing for the first two class periods. For the next two periods I have a mock trial and I watch a movie. Today should be fun. Keeping my fingers crossed.

So far so good on today! Before I went to bed this morning I watched part of a movie with my bestie, which we haven't done in a while. Then when I woke up about an hour ago, I gave myself my first at-home testosterone shot, and it went really well. I have a really bad needle phobia because of bad experiences with bloodwork labs, but I was able to do my own shot just fine. The first shot I got was from the lovely nurse who taught me how to do it myself, and I was too scared of the needle hurting at the time so I had her give me the shot. Once I realized it didn't hurt, I felt way better about doing it myself, and today was a success because of it! Thank you Nurse Audrey ;w;

My day started really well but took a massive nosedive at work today. I'm lowkey seething right now. I haven't slept well in weeks because my fiance's been in agonizing pain from spinal issues. I've been trying my hardest to take care of him while juggling housework and retail work and pretty much everyone I work with knows the gist of it and is sympathetic. Go in today for closing shift, running on 3 hours of sleep, been up since 6am, I'm a lil slow to the draw with my responses, but otherwise everything is going well. Until my manager decides that he's going to whistle at me like I'm a damn dog to get my attention for the rest of my shift. He's already a condescending jerk to me so it really bothered the hell out of me.

I know something like that shouldn't have me this upset but seriously dude? You can say "Hey, can you do this?" or "Can you come over here real quick?" If you're not happy with the work I do, just come out and say it. Don't treat me like a dog and then act passive aggressive towards me. I don't care how stressed you are. I get woken up at 4am to the sounds of screaming and I spend my mornings running up and down the house trying to make my fiance's life as painless as possible while I drop 3 quarters of my paychecks on medical bills and you don't see me whistling at people to get their attention.

Get outta here with that garbage. Bleh.

Started out pretty good, until I got a call from one of my bosses and I am just... really really tired of dealing with him. He is out of touch. Always on a different page than anyone else. Making demands. Now he wants me to change my schedule last minute- I should have been more upfront and clear that I just cannot, I work from home when I'm not there, and I've already been talking to my other boss about making this change in June, so what is the sudden emergency? I want to process this right now so I can enjoy my day off instead of obsessing over this situation. I worry he is going to make a drastic decision when I won't even be in work to discuss it until Saturday, or he will be calling me every day until Saturday when I'm either in my off time or working from home... this feels like a lose-lose scenario. Very frustrated, I wish I could call up my mom for advice but her father passed away this week and I don't want to put pressure on her to help solve my problems while she's dealing with that.

I had a fun afternoon! The day wasn't too great but the afternoon was awesome. I got to spend time with my best friend. We went to McDonald's and order 20 dollars worth of food. We're fat OK, we need our food. I took her to a secret playground that no one knows about but we had to cross the railroad tracks and that was hilarious. We found a baby raven at the park and I picked it up and held it for a good hour. I got pictures with it! It pooped on me twice so we went to her house so I could wash my hands. We dropped her stuff off and headed to the old school playground and then we headed to the library playground. I found out today that I can climb just about anything which is awesome! Also got to see her dad's new motorcycle which is freaking awesome! After the month of crap that I've been put through I needed this day and I couldn't be happier!

Ive had an extremely crappy week :( Went on a real last minute trip to Germany (you can catch a bus from London over night) and had an epic incredible day and then just as im on the train platform to go back to the airport (had to fly back to get back in time for work) i managed to lose my phone :(

Ive had my contract a year and i lost the first phone after only 3 months (was stolen) and so im still paying for that for another year so i brought a new phone outright (an iPhone 7 plus which cost me £769!) which is the one i lost. Now i dont care about the phone its self, but ive also lost 5 months worth of pictures which is what hurts the most as i have a terrible memory and knowing all those pics are gone is just awful :( In that 5 months i travelled to NY 3 times plus Norway and my day trip to Germany and now i have no pics from all those trips :( I know i should have backed them up but i dont have enough cloud space :(

My mum felt really bad for me so she was super sweet and brought me a new phone a few days later and so i ordered a new case for it from amazon, but for some reason, even though i have prime next day delivery, they wouldnt deliver on a weekend. So typically, 3 daty after getting it i managed to drop my new phone on my way home from work, just 10 minutes away from home where my new case was waiting for me. Completely smashed the screen and now have to pay £190 to get it replaced. I feel awful as my mum was so kind to get it for me and i feel like the worst daughter ever.

To make it worse ive had a crappy week at work as im being trained to inspect the blank circuit boards that come in and i hate it as they are very important but i dont really know what im looking for and the microscope gives me a headache and it takes me forever and it sucks :(

Sorry just had to vent lol

Started out good, ended on a sour note. Fridays are SUPPOSED to be D&D night. Someone in our group asked if we could help "move a few boxes" and "it won't take long, maybe an hour." 5 hours later, they finish, and it's way too late to start D&D. Then they all go drinking, without me. I feel like shit.

I've been having nightmares this entire week but I managed to get called beautiful by my fave (it was impersonal; my icon is of a cat but I was still grateful) and get followed by another voice actor on Tumblr from the same game they voice acted in.

I've had an extremely crappy past few days. Long story short my dad beat leukemia but then he got a cold. He had to go up to the doctor and I found out he's been sick for a week and his girlfriend had to force him to go to the doctor. I don't know who more stupid, him for not calling the doctor sooner or her for not calling the doctor for him.

A couple of months ago he didn't want anything to do with me. He said so really not-so-nice things to me and I haven't seen him in person since last July. Now that he's sick, and possibly dying, I'm going up there this weekend to be with him. Since I've started talking to him he's slowly started to get better. His vitals went up and they have taken him off oxygen. It's baby steps but at least it's something.

I also have a job now at a clothes store and my boss is really cool. She knows my dad and is totally cool with me taking off on Saturday to be with him all day and Sunday. His brother is also flying in to go see him the same time I will be up there with him. Whoever is reading this, please, pray to whatever god or goddess you believe in and pray for my dad. We need all the help we can get right now.
