A family of Sick-os

This weekend was a much needed three day weekend. Every work week should only be 4 days. We went out on the bike for a 4 hour ride on Monday because it was absolutely gorgeous outside. My butt hurt so bad at the end of the day. I couldn't even walk upstairs to lay down. I ran around all weekend so Monday was a relax day.
We got a scare late Monday night when the shelter we adopted Linus from called to tell us one of their cats tested positive for feline leukemia. I called the vet today and pulled all sorts of strings to get him in for a blood test. They told me he was high risk because he is kind of a fresh cat. Anyway I got him in and left work early and had him tested. He tested negative and came home doing minimal damage to the vet.
A had his wisdom teeth out today and is resting and eating plenty of milkshake. I get to play nurse for him, I'm sure he'd like it more if I wore the outfit but he's going to have to live with sweats and a t-shirt.

Alice in Wonder Land ........or Georgia

So Alice called me tonight and my entire day got better.... Alice isn't the person I was referencing the other day but she played a significant role in my college life. I forgot how much Alice can make me laugh. We talked about everything and nothing and my life is better.

Without a Trace........

JUST THINKING:
So I was thinking about growing up and getting older. When this happens friends are lost along the way and it's a really hard thing to do some times and other times it's a natural progression. There are just some people that you never think you'll grow apart from. Then one day you turn around and they are gone. Where did you go and will I ever see you again?


Forgive me I'm in a funk and this just makes it worse. It's really disappointing when people just disapper when you need them the most especially when you've never disappered on them.

Slow Realities

These last few work days have been the longest days ever. I can't believe how slow things are moving along. I spent the majority of my day in court today just waiting for my case to be heard. The case was a plea and dispo which took all of 5minutes. Of course it was continued and now I'll have to wait another 4 hours in court next month. I am all caught up again which means I'm playing fake typing at work and sharpening all of my pencils until the points are at precision sharpness and I could kill someone with one of them if I really felt the urge to.
On a brighter note end of the semester grades are in and it has been confirmed that I am a total genius. I got straight A's this semester. While I'm tooting my own horn I should mention in the 10 grad classes I have taken I've gotten 8 A's and 2 B's. It is exciting to know that I'm doing well in grad school because the thought of it is so intimidating.
A and I have been riding the bike more. When I refer to the bike I'm talking about his sports bike. I love riding on it because it's like flying and you have to be really aware of your surroundings. Everything is so much more apparent because you are forced to pay attention. I've noticed things in our neighborhood that I never noticed before like houses in the woods. Since we do live in the woods I get scared when we do night rides because I'm always afraid of deer. I get nervous when we're in the car never mind on the bike. Tonight we were about 10 feet from a baby fox which was really cool but about 10 minutes later we zoomed by a deer just hanging out in the woods. Thankfully it ran the other way.
Now that I've rambled for a good amount of time about pretty much everything and nothing I'm off to do even less productive things now that I can.

The Power of Tears

I'm so tired all the time lately. Work hasn't been any different then usual. Just the same old daily drone. I think this is by far this has been the longest week ever. I always used to say growing up I never wanted to sit in a cubicle and be a pencil pusher for the rest of my life. Well... I'd say 25 of my 40 hours are spent pushing the old pencil in my cubicle. I really never thought I'd be a pencil pusher........
Me and A went out to dinner tonight and I had yet another awful experience with eating out. The last few times such things have happened like the wrong meal was delivered to me, half a meal was delivered to me, I chipped a tooth on something hard in my food....and now tonight. We went out and I got fish and chips. I love fish and chips but may never be able to eat them again. I took a bite of my fish and it seemed cold but I thought nothing of it. Then while chewing it the haddock seemed tough so I stuck my finger in the center of my fish and it was RAW! It was so icky and gross. I've given up on eating out. On the way home in the car we had an interesting conversation as always. We were talking about when couples have firsts like the first I love you, the first tears, so on and so on. I mentioned that I had seen him cry on occasion and he promptly stated "My tears are liquid round house kicks to the face!" I asked him if he thought he was Chuck Norris and he then stated "NO Chuck Norris's tears cure cancer!" I should have known.

Charlie Murphey............The Darkness

We went to see Charlie Murphy last night for those of you who don't know him it's Eddie Murphy's brother. He was so friggin' funny he told about 2 hours of completely inappropriate jokes. It was so wierd when he walked out on stage I was like holy shit it's really him. It was pretty frickin' awesome. My birthday rocked.
So I went out with A again on the motorcycle tonight and it was an experience. I like riding on the bike but tonight was my first night ride ever. It is definately an eye opening experience. I never knew how much I missed when I was in the car.

It's My Birthday!

Today is my birthday and I am so very old. I'm 23 today and I had the best birthday ever! My A loves me so much he bought me an XBox 360 and the new Tomb Raider game. He also got me 24 roses too. My Mommy gave me money money money to go sky diving. The office celebrated and my secretary made me a cake. I got a million birthday messages and presents. It was a great day. Being 23 isn't as fun as 16,18, or 21 but.... I'll take it.

You are not Me

So the semester is pretty much over. I have a presentation on Thursday but that's no big deal so I'm good. It's weird not doing homework after I get out of work. I haven't had a homework break in two years! That includes the summers. Work has been going good but today one of my cases exploded and I had to really sort shit out. No one understands what it's like to do my job. I tell people I'm tired or I had a long day at work and then they are like yah me too. No you don't understand my long day could never be anything like your long day. It is my job to go into people's home and potentially remove their children at any moment. No one besides those in my field will understand what my "long" day really is or the way I feel when I know I am going to possibly remove children from their parents. Today I had to tell a mother she was incapable of caring for her children and her home was the worst possible location for them to be raised. It hurt her but it hurt me more to say it. My days will always be long but at the end of the day I still love my job. The day I come home unsure of my choices is the day the job may not be for me.

Is that a Light I See at the End of My Educational Tunnel?

I can't wait until the semester is finally over. I volunteered to write the paper for my group project as I did not have time to do any of the research. Silly Me! The paper isn't finished yet and I've hit (drum roll please....) 71 pages! This paper should be published, framed, set in gold, and given a the Louisa May Alcott award. I'm not exaggerating the immensity of this project. I am not eligible for summer classes thank you Sucky Regina for fucking me over immensely. Needless to say my Masters Degree will be delayed another semester. I guess it's a sign that I need a break since I haven't had one since my junior year. Watch out Summer here I come!
So... I'm going to the dietician this week. I needed to get an referral from my Dr. Who signed it immediately cause he love me. My insurance informed me that I needed the referral for the dietician but they covered gastric bypass. How gay is that! I kindly informed the operator that I was slightly over weight but when I became immensely obese and would qualify for the surgery I'd get back to her. She chuckled... I hope she was not immensely obese.
