ridiculous

things may be a little better. but they're going to get a little harder. my manager's on vacation for the next week and a half. so i'm in charge. my introduction to that today was an employee changing his availability for this week. so i worked on finding someone to cover his shifts and called him to let him know i got it covered. and he tells me he can't do what i've changed it to. ridiculous. i put my two week notice in today to drop down to part time. i'm taking the job at the hanover humane society. they're giving me a desk job at first. i didn't get the job at the vets. but hopefully this will get me started going where i want to go. i don't really know. gareth and i talked last night about the possibility of moving to nova. if we did i could go to an actual campus and get my degree in two years instead of three. so who knows what i'll actually do. i just hope i do something soon. and i hope i eventually heal so i'm able to do things again. i finally got my disabilities note back from the doctor. it says i'm supposed to be sedentary at work. like that's possible. i have an appointment next week to see how i'm healing. and get more pain killers. i missed my sister and niece's bday celebrations yesterday. at least i got to hang out with gareth for an evening. he saw piranha last week. i saw something decent that comes out tomorrow. city island. and i'm almost through with the ken burns series on national parks i got for christmas. maybe by dropping down to part time i can take time off and go somewhere this summer. i could really use a vacation.

rough

it's been a rough week. turns out disability only covers what i've already taken off. and i've been having a hard time getting through to anyone who can help at the doctors. my schedule at work has been a pain to make right. and i'm pretty much in constant pain through all this. to top it off today i was supposed to meet my parents in r'mond for dinner when i got off today. the person coming in to relieve me was an hour late because someone else said that was fine. and no one told me. so i missed dinner. i didn't hear back from the vets either. i'm pretty bummed about everything. but i need to get myself together and figure out what to do next. it's just not been easy for me. at least colby's doing better. he got the stitches out and is pretty much back to normal now. gareth got back monday night but has had to work every day since then. he works nights and i've been working mornings so we haven't seen much of each other anyways. he saw the extendables this week but they posted someone else's review. i did get a chance to catch up on my photos this week. i'd been trying to get my niece's old computer to work with my old hard drive for months and finally succeeded. but only got about a day worth of it working before it was broken again. that's all the complaining i have to do for now. hopefully this next week will be better.

rainbow

everyone's doing better this week. which is good because gareth's out of town all weekend for a wedding. and i went back to work yesterday. i'd filed for disability monday and they waited until the last minute of the last work day of the week to call and leave me a message saying they needed more info. so i don't know if and when that will happen. i had some great news this week though. i got a call back for an interview from the vets where i'd most wanted to work. again i think it went well so hopefully i'll hear back from them the beginning of the week. we took colby back in monday to get the stitches and swelling looked at. they said everything looked good and the stitches can come out next week. poor pup's still wearing the cone and now he has pjs he wears to bed and when we're gone so he can't scratch the stitches. i have some good news about a pet. budd laid the last of the eggs this week. i'm quite happy that ordeal is over with. nothing else too exciting has happened. i did go back to f'burg on my last day off for a visit to the dentist. they didn't find anything really wrong. just a lot of staining since my last visit. at least they didn't have to do much scraping this time. there were a few storms while i was there and i got to see a nice rainbow on my way back. made for a nice ending.
