Preparing Myself

I had a great night tonight. I am making sure I fully appreciate it, because it won't happen again for quite some time. I got to sleep in today, wrote the first draft of my segmented essay, and had dinner with my boyfriend, his sister and nephew, and his father. It was his father's birthday and I had such a great time. This is the first relationship I have ever been in where I absolutely love my boyfriend's family and they love me back. I know this for a fact because ever time i text his mom the conversation always ends with her , "love you!" lol. My family loves my boyfriend as well. Even my dad likes him, that's saying something. I have a 12 hour day to look forward to tomorrow and Sunday as well. I have class Monday followed by studying for my statistics test. Tuesday I take my statistics test and then study for my Accounting test. Wednesday I take my accounting test and spend the evening doing laundry and cleaning. Thursday I have class then work. Friday Saturday and Sunday I will be working all day which can range from 8 to 12 hours. I will be so tired next Monday! But my finances should improve tremendously lol. Looks like some five hour energies in my future!

Halloween Fun!

What a week at work!! I picked up two extra shifts already this week and probably another one tomorrow! Trying to make sure all these bills I have get paid! BUT, for tonight all that is scheduled is some good fun! A lot of friends from work went to voodoo fest this past weekend so our work Halloween party is tonight! I say work party, but it is more of a party that will be populated but mostly people from my work lol. It isn't sanctioned by our employer. The theme is dead celebrities, and yes I know that was the theme for the party that was at art space downtown, and I'm not sure who came up with it first. I was thinking of being Farrah Fawcett, but I wasn't too keen on walking around in a Charlie's angels style bikini all night and I wanted to be some kind of pair thing with my boyfriend. He wanted to be scary and I wanted to be cute so we finally came to a conclusion. He is a werewolf and I am little red riding hood. To justify obeying the theme I'm saying fairy tales are dead lol. It may or may not be true, but that is the story I am going with. We will have the LSU and bama game on while getting ready for the party! GEAUX LSU!!!

better! mostly lol

My tooth is better and almost fixed! lol. I just have to go back Wednesday to get the permanent crown put on. I only have a little spot about the size of a quarter on my chin that is still numb. Which is an improvement lol. I had a great time with my friend from high school. No hang over was to be had I was responsible. I did found out that my trip to Disney world is canceled now because of air fare prices. Which is sad, but we are going to try and reschedule for spring break. I am still dealing with the messed up nerve in my back. I finished the steroid pack she gave me, and I have not seen any improvement thus far. Its a bit of a downer, but I guess it is just something I am going to have to learn to deal with. I did have an awesome Wednesday night though! I asked my boyfriend to pick me up a vitamin water or something from circle k on his way home. Instead he brings me home a rose (and not a Red one because I think they are generic lol) a bottle of Pinot Noir for us to split and a bag of my favorite salt and vinegar chips (my current addiction lol). He never does things like that so it was really sweet. The Pinot Noir went quite well with the homemade meatballs and spaghetti i made as well. All in all its been a pretty good week. I have gotten to spend some quality time with my family on my days off and see some long lost friends. Can't really complain about that now can I? lol Hope everyone else had a good week too!

good news bad news

I went to the dentist today, and I am so glad I was smart enough to make sure I had some pain meds left from last time I went. I thought I was getting my permanent crown put on today but it was just a temporary crown. so I have to go back in two more weeks for the permanent crown. They had to laser back some of my gums because they were inflamed. I wonder why? maybe its because that poor tooth has been through hell these past couple of weeks. So I have that to look forward too. I think I will forever remember this semester as the root canal fiasco semester lol. 

On a good note my best friend from high school will be in town Saturday night!!!! I had to make sure I was off work on Sunday for recovery time. I only get to see her once or twice a year so we make the time count and will stay out til the wee hours of the morning. So my Saturday night should be great as soon as I leave work. Sunday will be spent nursing a slight hangover that I expect and doing homework. I just can't wait to see her! I am counting down the days, and I think its making time go by slower.
I also got to spend quite a bit of time with my god daughter this week, which is always a positive thing. She is getting so big, and I feel like she learns something new every time I see her. She is sooo precious! The only thing is that she is at the can't sit still stage, so some tasks become more difficult to say the least. I had to get stern with her a few times and she would make a pouty face for a minute than as soon as i was done changinge me lol. She is such a flirt! It is so funny to watch her interact with people. She is very social which I think is a good thing. I am just glad I get to be a part of her life and watch her grown and develop. It is such a great ride! probably because i get to play with her and then go home lol. one day I will get the full experience I just need stability first.

Seriously?!? I am only 22!

I must have the worst luck ever. I am very aware that there are people out there that have it worse than me. So I am still taking antibiotics for my tooth. I got the first half of my root canal done last Tuesday, and I go back to have it finished this coming Wednesday. My back has given me problems for the past couples of years, but lately it has gotten really bad. I will be nauseous and cannot stand the pain is so bad. So I went to the Dr. on Tuesday to see about my back. Turns out I have a nerve in my lower back that's messed up. The option that makes it flare up is the walking motion .... seriously? I wait tables. My job is to walk around for 6 hours at a time.  What am I supposed to do? My bills have to be paid so I have to work. The Dr is putting me on a 6 week regimen of celebrex and a steroid based anti-inflammatory. Problem is I can't even start that til I am all done with my tooth stuff. Because I am still on the antibiotics, and steroids will mess with the healing process and make the antibiotics less effective. By the time I am off work I curl up in my bed and practically cry myself to sleep. It ridiculously pathetic. I just don't know what to do! The situation overall is stressing me out! I am too young and much too broke to have health issues that effect my work. I just need to find myself a nice little job where I get to sit all day, and that involves limited mobility. Anyone know where I can find one of those?

Dentist Visit

So my week has been painful! I went to the dentist Wednesday because one of my teeth was hurting so bad I was taking ibuprofen around the clock. Turns out I need a root canal. We make the appointment for October 7. Well Thursday the ibuprofen isn't cutting it, so the dentist gives me some pain meds. Well, by the time 10 pm rolls around on Thursday my tooth pain is excruciating. My poor boyfriend felt horrible, because I am laying there bawling my eyes out in pain and there is nothing he can do about it. I break down and call my dentist at 3am, and i leave a sobbing pathetic message asking if they can fit me in tomorrow. They call me back Friday morning to tell me my tooth is infected, and they can't do anything while its infected. So they prescribe me penicillin and more pain meds. So i take one of my antibiotics and it makes me super sick. My dad came over and brought me Dramamine for the nausea and some bread to eat. I don't feel sick anymore just really tired and light headed from all the medicines I am having to take. Now I have to go try and wait tables on a Saturday night... wish me luck.

I Must Vent!

This week has been awful! first off, just realized the first draft was due last night, and completely forgot. Work is killing me with school, but i have to pay the bills! Stress comes naturally to me. We can start with Monday. I had a biology test on, and felt like I did pretty well. Came home and watched a movie with my boyfriend. Tuesday I had statistics and then had a dinner date with two of my girlfriends. pretty good week so far right? Wednesday everything changed. I go into biology and turns out I got a 71% on my test.... not thrilled. Then I have a ton of laundry and cleaning to do with some statistics homework mixed in. One bad day wont kill me. Thursday I have statistics again and have to rush home to change and get to work on time. I have an awful night at work, and make hardly anything. I wait tables and my biggest pet peeve is people who come out and spend $60-$100 on dinner and run me ragged, and don't even tip 10%. The norm for good service is 20%. I have to pay tip share to the hostesses and bartenders. Your five dollars isn't getting me very far mister. So I come home shower and pass out. Friday night was just as bad as Thursday at work so i went to have a drink with my best friend. she has a seven month old daughter so she doesn't get to go out very often. While I am going to the bathroom in the sandbar my iphone 4 gets stolen....lucky me. So I come home so angry I can't even sleep. I use my cell phone as my alarm so I forgot to set my alarm and slept through the race for the cure this morning. Then I have to run all over town getting another SIM card activated and borrowing a phone from a friend and everything else. So now I am trying to get school work done and clean before I have to work alllllllllll day tomorrow. I am counting down the days until I get to go to Disney World... its 62 days by the way!

Cannot put this book down!

I do not know how many of you have HBO, but this summer there was a series called Game of Thrones. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed it. It's classified as fantasy, but has a medieval feel to it. Needless to say we were hooked! Well, the season ended as they always do. I turned to my kindle to find something new to read. I find a book called Game of Thrones. I read the description and wouldn't you know! It's what the first season of the show was based off of! I soon find out it is a series of four books, which makes my find ten times better. I read the first book, and things that happened in the first season make so much more sense. The book really is always better than the movie! Well, now I am on the second book....cannot....put...it....down! This book has pulled me in and is taking me prisoner. Dinner needs to be cooked, blogs written, dog walked, accounting homework done, but all I can do is read this book! If anyone is looking for a good read, check out A Song of Fire and Ice Series by George R. R. Martin. It is so worth it!
