A New Chapter

causes injuries. I had to go to the doctors yesterday because my right arm started having muscle spasms near my elbow last week and it got worse and worse then my hand started feeling weak and the pain traveled up to my shoulder. The doctor concluded that I have a strain in my trapezius muscle, she could feel the knots the size of golf balls around there and it definitely hurt when she pushed around that area. My arm is just basically super fatigued and she put me on ibuprofen 600mg three times a day for 5 days to see if that helps. Icing and warming the area as well. If it does not x-rays and steroids and if still not fixed physical therapy and bloodwork to check my electrolytes to see if the spasms are from that. So yay work. The positions I get into and for the length of time I am not surprised I have some sort of injury. I am sure I will get more as the years go on. I am young I will bounce back. In other exciting news I get to dog sit for a friend next week and in August I ge...

I completely forgot I had another blog after I graduated from college. I used livejournal all the time in high school and I don't think I did too much blogging in college, although I wish I had, but I used that one temporarily because it was under my school email and after things with Anthony I guess I just wanted a fresh blog. I was too busy in college getting my Bachelor of Science Medical Biology degree. Yes I am proud of it I worked really hard. I may not be a doctor but I love the job I have and I feel like I make a difference in animals and clients lives every day. Being a veterinary nurse, which is the new term now, is incredibly hard grueling task you have to know just as much as the veterinarian. You are basically their second brain and have to do most of the work while they do the things we legally cant. Techs can do just about everything except for surgeries but we do dentals all the time. And we can't diagnose but we certainly help the vet get to the diagnosis. When...

I have been at my job now for over a year and usually by now you would probably get some sort of raise. I have had two really good reviews since I have been there and yet no raise. I am usually one to just let it go and let things happen. I am not one to go put my foot down and be like look I have improved a lot since I have started and I work really hard and really well so I should have a raise by now. I am in the process of getting licensed so that makes me look even better. My boyfriend has been getting at me to ask for a raise for months and people at work have been too so today I finally grew a pair and sat down with my boss and talked to her. Basically told I've evaluated how I've been doing since I started work there and that I have improved a lot and I work really hard etc and then I asked if I could have a raise. I definitely could have said I deserve a raise or something of that sort but I didn't. She agreed that I do deserve one. And gave me props for coming to...

Life seems to be just full of ups and downs, lately it seems to be mostly downs for me. Financially my life has turned upside down and I'm broke, not like I cant afford to go out and have a drink like I  cant afford freaking groceries or my medications. I just switched health care to Obama care because I am off my parents now and it isn't the greatest insurance. It will cost me $150 for my 90 day supply of Crestor which I cant afford so ill have to do 30 month supply for $50 a month. even then still expensive. My parents have decided to cut me off from any more help. Basically I have to sit down with my boss and tell her the situation; I either get a raise so I can stay there and continue my schooling so I can get licensed or if not I have to discontinue school and find a completely different job most likely one I will probably be miserable with. It really sucks. I would hate to stop my schooling, I've been doing so well with it so far and I like learning all kinds of inte...

Since I graduated college I haven't had great paying jobs and I owe a lot more money than I am getting paid and my parents have always helped me because they cosigned. I pay for two of the loans they pay for 1. I pay for my car, gas, car insurance, phone and now health insurance since I am turning 26 this month, groceries once a week for my boyfriend and I and anything else I need. My parents have helped me with really expensive medical bills this past month from getting my blood drawn and an ultrasound which was $325. I have always been able to pay for my car registration. My school payment went up for Penn Foster since I signed up for Semester 2; $60 to $91.66. This month, for some reason, I do not have enough money to pay my bills and register my car. Id have to pick one or the other. In the real world I would probably have to like sell my body or eggs or something for money but in my world I'm hoping my parents will help. I HATE asking them for help. I'm almost 26 this...

Lately things have been going pretty well. I finished my first semester of my vet technician program at Penn Foster. Just waiting for my proctored exams to be graded which could take a couple weeks. Then I will begin my second semester! The house building process is going slowly but there is a lot to do before you can actually build, never realized it I guess.  The house will probably be finishing up as it is snowing during next winter. I can't wait to live in a home though. It is costing more than what he originally estimated which is always the case when building a house. He is getting a little more discouraged the more it goes up. His roommate we have now will be living in the second bedroom and paying rent to him so I guess that will help for a little bit. I am going to a huge video game convention on April 22-24, PAX East! We went last year but only got one day passes but this year we got three days passes! I have a different nerd shirt for every day and I cannot wait! Gearbo...

Awhile back, before corey, I dated a guy whom I have probably mentioned in one of my past posts named Anthony (ant). Long story short we decided we were way better off as friends  and it was great. We have a ton in common and once you get to this age, out of school, its hard to make friends especially when you don't have a social life you have to start making friends with other peoples friends. Anyways we texted here and there and met up once a month for breakfast or lunch to catch up on life it was nice and then he got a crazy girlfriend. I didn't know she was crazy at first and I was super happy for him because he had been in such a depression slump and he was so incredibly happy, everything was really good for both of us. We had both been there for each other through rough spots so we were pretty good friends. But then the crazy spell came out of his gf and she pretty much assaulted me via facebook about how obsessed I was with him and I wasn't allowed to talk to him or ...
