Little Miss Sickie

So, I started this post a couple days ago with the intention of actually finishing it. But I didn't. Instead, I went to bed early because I've been sick. Last week, I was so violently sick, I had to stay in bed for 2 days. Two HORRIBLE days of chills, a fever and nausea. Thankfully I didn't vomit. I hate doing it. Anyway, whatever I had turned into an equally horrible cold. From Thursday through Saturday, I was out for the count. Sunday, I had to go back to work since I had already missed my shift on Friday. Thankfully I had a short shift because the thought of having to work a full shift made me even more tired than I already was. Monday, I went home early when my voice decided to take a hike. After lots of water and Gatorade and rest, I'm happy to report that I am on the mend.

To say that I've been resting a lot would be an understatement. I literally have been sleeping and laying in bed as much as I can. Today, I woke up around 10 AM but stayed in bed till about 1 o'clock this afternoon. It felt great to rest, but I felt bad for not being productive. I didn't do much of anything anyway. I made a roast in the slow cooker, ate popsicles, took a shower, and managed to somehow delete all the music and videos off of my iPod. I'm still fuming about that. Ugh...I guess that just gives me more reason to go home for a visit and steal music off my sister's iTunes. Going home would definitely make me happy. I need a little vacation, but I also need the money...

*sigh*

A round trip ticket would be less than 300 bucks. So, in theory, I should be able to fly home for a couple days and still have some money to my name. Still. I need the money.

Dear Money Fairy, please give me some dough to go home. K? Thanks.

It's Okay to Be Sad

I'm sitting in my room nursing a 7-up because I ate too much cheese with my dinner. Being lactose sensitive, edging on completely intolerant, totally sucks. Sometimes dairy doesn't bother my stomach too much, but I guess eating cheese on a completely empty stomach wasn't the greatest idea but damn, that artichoke and spinach cheese dip was delicious. Was it worth it in the end? Meh..I could go either way at the moment. I just had a memory pop up of my first swig of raw cow milk. It was delicious and totally didn't make my stomach hurt. Anyhow, at lot has been swirling around my brain as of late. Here is a bullet list of the swirling mess: When I left UVU a little over 10 years ago, my GPA was a 1.95. When I came back in the fall I had to fill out a satisfactory academic progress (SAP) report thing to 1.) get my financial aid released, and 2.) promise to get a C or better for the remainder of my time at UVU. Well, I barely got a D in sociology 1010 class in the fa...

Dear Momma

Dear Momma, How is it that you've been gone 21 years today? There are pictures of you that were taken when you were sick that I don't like to look at very often. Mostly because you are noticeably thinner and you can tell that the jaundice is starting to set in. And you look so sad. I think we all look a little sad in those pictures because we knew that the end was near. In my 39 years on earth, I didn't think that you would be gone for more than half of it. I didn't think I'd missing you this much either but there are little things that happen during my day that remind of you. Sometimes those little memories make me smile and sometimes I'm so overcome with a soul crushing sadness that I have to swallow the lump in my throat so I can keep going on with my day. Today, though, I'm sitting in the emotion of wishing that you were here. It sucks. It's completely unfair that you were taken. It's unfair that the doctors didn't find the cance...

Reasons

So, you remember from the last post when I said things were "a-changin'"? Well, they are. I'm moving to Hillsboro, Oregon. ETA: November 1st, but probably November 4th so I can at least finish the pay period instead of leaving in the middle of it. Anyway, here's a quick list of things I bet you didn't know about Hillsboro: *It's near the ghost town of Idiotville, Oregon. Real place. Wiki or google it. *What Draper, Utah is to SLC is exactly what Hillsboro is unto Portland. Almost the same place. *Has AMAZING parks and waterfalls. *All voting is done by mail. Secretly, I'm a little bummed about not getting a "I voted" sticker. Okay, so I could only really think of 4 things that you might not have known about Hillsboro or the surrounding area. Oregon as a state though, is pretty dang fantastic. I'll finally be able to partake in the Goonie-for-the-day festivities in Astoria. While there are many reasons why I'm moving away, the main rea...
