A New Chapter

I have to say 2016 was not overly exciting but it wasn't a shit storm for me other than battling my ongoing digestion issues. BUT 2017 is going to be a good year! Mostly because this will the year I get my corgi :) I have been waiting to get my own puppy since well I knew what a dog was. I didn't grow up with dogs so its very exciting. Trying to save money for that endeavor will be hard but hopefully my tax returns will help a little. I know purebred dogs are expensive. This will be the only time I buy a purebred after that I don't care what the dog is as long as they don't have any terrier in them. I've signed back up at the gym, starting end of December 2016 and have continued going on a regular basis. Corey and I are doing wonderful:) I got a Nutribullet Pro and I have been making smoothies every day and they are delicious! Pushing my way through school to get my license like a BAMF! Going to PAX again this year, for 3 days and I'm going to definitely e...

I feel like I can say for many people out there that 2016 started out great and then kind of just got progressively crappier.  Really sad deaths and well Trump being in charge of the United States now among other things. I thought the year in general was pretty decent, not overly exciting and nothing major happened to me. Still battling my digestive issues and acid reflux although the reflux seems to be under control with Ranitidine 75 mg when I need it which is mostly twice a day. Work has been going the same no changes. Almost had to go back to hourly but there has been some stop on that until they figure out what they want to do. Had a pelvic ultrasound to see why I was having pain down there and unusual periods but everything came back normal of course. I am a relatively healthy 26 year old. Signed back up at the gym after a 6 month hiatus. I don't make New Years resolution because I think its ridiculous. Just do it when you think of it. If you wait until New Years to change s...

Around this time last year I was struggling a lot for money and in fact my parents had to pay for my bills last Christmas because I was hourly and not getting paid holidays or "snow days". And there were quite a bit. BUT this year I have been salary since the summer and making more and a lot less stressed this year then last. I bought my boyfriend gifts and my parents. I was not able to get him a birthday present this year and I have not bought my parents gifts in awhile. It felt good to be able to do it this year. I love giving presents to people! I love seeing them smile. I wish I could afford things for my friends but I don't have that much extra money. I have my student loans plus the money I'm spending now being in Penn Foster online school to become licensed. Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year. Being in Maine makes it even better because of the snow. Most people find it stressful and miserable but I find it happy and festive. I'm all about the mus...

Came back Tuesday night from my amazing trip to San Francisco: Dolores Park Golden Gate Bridge Bay Bridge The trip was incredible and I got to experience so much. This is my second time in the city but I go to do way more than last time. Trust me there are a hundred more photos on those. I was Instagraming like a crazy woman. As soon as I came home I lost followers though haha. Sorry I don't travel a lot my life actually is not that exciting. Any who I wish I could live there but id be on food stamps. That city is so damn expensive to live in. So much walking I think that was the most exercise I've ever gotten on a trip like that. No one is fat in the city because of all the exercise and the delicious healthy food they can easily get. I will be back again some day. For now back to the grind. I pumped out school work this week like a crazy woman and I think I have finally got caught up on my sleep. Went to Salem Saturday with the ladies and it was a blast ev...

As it is now October, one of my favorite months of the year, things are starting to pick up. I have started my clinicals at work. I will complete the time before I get all the skills in. So far it is going okay. I was going to take videos using my bosses two nuggets this week but work has been cray cray. One of the techs has been out sick and I have been covering working all day and our surgeries and appointments have been back to back. I have been getting out of work at 7. It's good that it is busy but man I am too beat when I get home to do my school work so I am a little behind. Thankfully this morning I haven't been called yet to come in so school work until then if it happens. Keep on trekking. I started watching Wentworth which is way better than Orange is the New Black. I definitely recommend it. I just finished the last season few days a go. I also started playing a game I bought awhile back but haven't really played yet. It's called 7 Days to Die, survival hor...

I went to a college friends wedding yesterday and it was so nice to see all of them. I'm bummed I am now just meeting her boyfriend, now husband, as of yesterday. I should have taken more of an effort to actually physically see her. I'm not very good at keeping in touch with people I don't physically see a lot. I start off good then gradually goes down as I get busier and meet new people in my life I see all the time. I do miss the girls though! I also missed out on any pictures with them damn it. All in all it was a simple and really nice wedding. Very much her. The food was great and the music. It was worth driving the three hours for it to NH. I love NH! I wish I lived there. Maine is nice and all if you want to be poor, all the tourists love it because they have money with their summer homes on the cape. I vow to go and visit her because I have Saturdays off now and I could see Corey getting along with her hubby, they have already discovered they both love their ...

and that question can be easily answered by social media. Say you just met someone or you know of someone that you either dislike, want to know more of or someone from way back in school and don't actually talk to that person then social media can help you out. Facebook is harder to use if they make their stuff private but Instagram man if that shit ain't private its very easy to tell what type of person you are and what you well love or obsess over. I found a girl last night from high school, was not in my grade, and she has become obsessed with body building and super dieting like a smoothie for a meal and that's it. I was surprised there. I stumbled upon other peoples as well like a couple of my friends who I didn't know had Instagram and people who HATE ME for no good reason and don't even know anything about me and what I found was EXACTLY what I thought, no surprises there. Sometimes it is just interesting to see people from back in school that you have forgo...
