In the mind..........In the body

It's been a while since I posted so I thought I should update. There hasn't been too much going on lately. I'm going to the doctor on Monday since he'll be back from vacation and the medication he gave me without seeing me was going to fix everything. Guess what? It didn't fix everything and I have to go see him now a MONTH LATER! I hate when doctors think you don't know your own body. I know when I'm sick and because you don't see it doesn't make me a hypochondriac. That's all that's new and exciting in my life!

Manic Monday

So it was back to work today and I had no ambition what so ever. I threw on jeans and an over sized tee-shirt aka the most unprofessional attire I could fine. My supervisor should have sent me home but instead she merely stated "nice of you to roll out of bed and put on some shoes." I could have had a come back but I do in fact wear this shirt to bed sometimes so I let it slide. Seeing as how she walks around the office barefoot all day I figured I had one up on her. She didn't really care and I didn't either. It then went on with witty banter and a reference made by her implying my dream job was prostitution. This is my job! I love my supervisor and the fact that if anyone even dare wear the horrendous outfit I had on today they would have been sent home to change.
It was rainy and cloudy all weekend and of course as soon as I opened my eyes this morning the sun was brightly shining and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. I love how GOD plays these evil tricks on me. Not to mention the fact J was up to their old tricks again. I haven't complained about J in a while because their ego has been deflated but J is rearing to go again. Today I ordered out lunch (which I never do) and didn't consult J to see if they would be ordering out lunch. I'm sorry should I have posted an office wide email to all 250 employees stating "I am ordering lunch have you seen J? I wanted to alert J in case my lunch order is not up to par or J would like me to place their order." Then B and I went out for a mid-afternoon coffee and did not include J because we wanted to talk just us. J immediately stormed up to us upon our return and demanded why we didn't offer to pick them up a coffee or invite them. Hello...... we went out alone for a reason. No office gossip is safe with J!
Tomorrow is a new day and I think I'll actually get dressed in professional attire. I think I will also try to push J's buttons slightly for my shear amusement. I am evil!

Laughter is the Best Medicine!

I realized today that laughter is really good for the soul. Today at work my co-workers and I laughed to the point of tears more then once. It really is the "best medicine." My job is not the easiest of jobs. I work with children who have been beaten and neglected, who have seen no good day, who wish at times they had never been born. It's hard to keep up a persons spirits and that is why I am grateful for my wonderful unit mates and laughter.

The Song Game

I stole this from Arbusto because it looks like fun. I didn't do so well on his cause he listens to really really wierd music but who am I to judge. Anyway the point is to grab your IPOD put it on shuffle and write down the first lyric of the first twenty-five songs. There can't be any repeats song or artist wise. Your job is to guess the artist and the title! Good Luck. No Google to guess it's cheating!!! The last three songs are artist repeats I put whole albums on my IPOD and could only get 22 artists sorry.

Heave Ho

Sooo my health has become an issue once again. I am having "female" problems again and my obgyn has put me on this crazy medication. I don't know if the pills are messing with my body or my body is telling me something. Needless to say I spent 20 minutes dry heaving in the shower this morning, I threw up while driving in the company car today (by that I mean in my mouth as I didn't want to throw up in the car and I couldn't pull over so I swallowed the throw up), and I've been nauseous/dry heaving all day. The only time I didn't feel sick today was when Linus threw up and I had to clean it up. It's almost like he did it in my honor. If this nonsense continues I'm gonna have to see the doctor again!

Do I Look Like a Fool to You?

So I was in friggin' court all damn day which pissed me the hell off. Let's start with Lawyers and how I dispise them. I had a lawyer today that wanted to discuss the case with me and I stated that I wouldn't do so without MY lawyer. She stated she just needed clarification well that sent me over the edge because I knew she was trying to sabatoge me. So I said let me clarify things for you MY LAWYER MUST BE PRESENT FOR ME TO TALK TO YOU! Then she tried to pull some crap in court about how I was a big meanie blah blah blah and then I whipped out all of my documentation and laid her out in front of the Judge. I'm not stupid, I'm not unprepared, and I'M NOT TALKING WITHOUT A LAWYER.

Crazy Week Crazy Life

I hate when my week and my weekend run into the following week. It doesn't seem like I've had a break from work in three weeks because my life has been so crazy. Just when I think I'm caught up at work one of my cases explodes. I had to work until 9pm on Friday night that's 13 hours of working! I had to do a removal that took all damn day and I got a nasty bruise from it. Needless to say I forgot how stupid and petty 16 year old girls can be. I hope I wasn't that bad when I was that age but more then likely I was or even worse for that matter.
I'm sick again as always. Why can't I just be healthy and normal. I called the doctor's and fought with the receptionist about my health and my business until I convinced her I knew what I was talking about. I mean I'm only talking about myself! I hate when doctors make you feel like you are crazy or don't know what you are talking about. I think I know my own body. I feel like I might be sick from work on Friday.......

Nothing Says Independence Like Beer and Babies!

It's been so long since I last posted. Work has been more insane every week. I am super anal about to do lists and make and re-make them throughout the day. I hate leaving them only half completed. However, my job is not a job that will ever leave me with a complete to do list and I know this. Still I strive on a daily basis to leave with zero work for the following day. Today was hard getting back into the swing of things. I had to work on Monday and had Tuesday off leaving me with a second Monday if you will. I struggled through work today after a crazy weekend and a crazy day off. I got a lot of work done tonight so I could go to poker night at T's house and I was semi successful. However, poker night was cut short when we found out K was in labor! K is waiting for her baby girl to be born which may have already happened at this point.
Speaking of baby girls my beautiful god daughter turned one on Sunday. She is such a peanut and a goof ball. She took her first six steps the other day too! I can't believe she is already one it feels like she was just born.
Needless to say I spent the holiday weekend and such celebrating my independence in a drunken' oblivion. Our garage smells like stale beer from endless Beirut games. I hated that smell in college (4 years of stale beer is not roses) but oddly enough walking through the garage today it brought back so many great memories I couldn't help but stop and take a big whiff of old stale Bud.
