Life updates!

• My last day of working at Walmart is the 15th and I’m goddamn excited because I hate it there.  Quitting my job and becoming a full time student and occasionally getting nakkid on the interwebs.
• Get my books the 16th. Weirded out because the online bookstore says that my algebra class is just a bunch of dvds.. uh.
• School starts the 17th, same day as mom’s birthday, and I get to stay at school alllllllllllllllllllllllllllll day.
• Nanny goes tomorrow for a scan of her dialysis arm. She has some holes in her graft and it’s fucking things up. She has to have surgery soon.
• Mom’s having a medical procedure done and might have to have surgery too.
• My knees have been killing me. Arthritis at twenty-three? Cool. Awesome. Sweet.
• I built two more raised beds and I have two tilled gardens. Two of my three cherry trees have cherries on them, my nectarine tree has fruit on it, my peach tree has one lonely peach, and my grape vines look nice.
•  I got tattooed a while back.

NO CLASS SCHEDULED

i think one of my dogs is dying.

she hasn’t been doing so well lately. been really sluggish and hasn’t been feeling well. she’s fourteen years old and i know if i took her to the vet, they’d put her down. i was hoping she was just in a rut or had a cold. but i don’t think that’s the case anymore.

she fell in the creek behind the house tonight. the puppies tried to get get her out, but made it worse. i think her head might have gone underwater before we could get her out. the creek isn’t deep, but the dogs were on either side of her, pulling her. she’s in the house, trying to get dry. she’s not breathing well. she’s struggling to take breaths and it sounds like she’s trying to throw up, but can’t. kind of dry heaving. 

i feel really crappy. like a terrible person. i wish i could do something. just. fuck. she’s a good dog and i hate seeing her like this, but i can’t afford the vet visit to have her put down. we’re trying our best to keep her comfortable. 

This blog is just life updates, okay?

1. I’m officially a college student! Community college, but whatevs right?  I’m starting this summer. Have FASFA (Financial aid) filed out, but I have to wait on the college to decide how much I actually get.  Maybe I’ll be able to use my scholarship, maybe not. I have no idea.  Last time I tried to use my scholarship, they told me to apply for a pell grant so I could pay for my books since the scholarship is for tuition only.  When I got my grant information, they told me I couldn’t use my scholarship because I had too much grant money.  Huh.
2. So I guess once I start getting a schedule, I’ll decide how much I can work.  As far as I can tell, there are only a few summer classes that I actually need.  I can get a few of my first semester (fall) classes for my degree out of the way.  Classes like Expos. Writing (+lab), Computer Basics, and maybe take Pre-algebra because I have an algebra/trig class the fall semester and I SUCK at math so much.  SO MUCH.
3. I’m hoping that even though I’ll be a full time student in the fall, I can at least work weekends so I can have a little money.  At least enough for my cellphone.  If not then I guess I can start camming or something during school downtime, right? Idk.
4. My cousin’s stupid little dog keeps coming down to my house.  She just walks right in and flops down on the floor.  Wtf.  You’re not mine.  GO HOME.  You’re going to make my cats run away or something.  GO AWAY.  Plus she’s not spayed and I think she’s in heat, so our inside dog is all excited around her.  Yep, just what you need; shih tzu x chihuahua puppies.  Yep. Yep. Yep.
5. My hours are still horrible.  I don’t even get a lunch break for the next THREE weeks.  Wtf.  Not even a full shift.  It’s horrible and I hate it.  I’m trying my best to suck it up, but I got hurt at work the other night and couldn’t even find a manager to file a report so that I could go to the hospital.  Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu- I hate it.

Short life update

Gotta get to work.

• Had my “eval” (evaluation, i don’t see why they don’t just say the whole word).  I was evaluated by a manager that’s never even seen me work… okay.  So I didn’t get a raise and I got “satisfactory” on everything.  They also informed me that back when I had a stomach virus and the flu, that when I stayed out for three days (like my doctor told me to because i was contagious with fever), that I should have received a “verbal coaching.”  Oh okay.  And apparently I’ve been absent too much and can only be absent one more time before I get wrote up for it or something and get a “written coaching.”  What the fuck.  I work with food, if I have a fever, the shits, or I’m puking everywhere it’s common knowledge that I’m not coming to work and I ALWAYS call in at least a few hours ahead of time so they can replace me.  BUT WHATEVER WHATEVER.
• I’ve decided that I hate my job and I’ve started applying in other areas.  No area is hiring, but whatever.  They’ve also cut my hours to 25 hrs a week.  AWESOME.
• Since I’ve decided that I hate my job (not the job, management), I’ve also decided to look into going back to school.  I’m making an appointment to talk to someone this coming week.  I know I have to pay back that grant I defaulted on, but I need to figure out if I would be eligible for financial aid with what happened with my last grant and whatnot.  I’ve saved up the money to pay back the college for the default, but I need to figure out if I need to go ahead and save up for my tuition and books too.  Hell, the place I work even offers scholarships, so maybe I should hop on that. lulz.
• Okay, that’s pretty much it because I have to get ready.  Short shift tonight, whatever.  Four and a half hours.

That awkward moment you go next door to borrow some shortening at 10pm and walk into a room of people your age already drunk and realize that it’s Friday and you’re baking a goddamn cake.

People I have no interest in talking to or confirming as a friend on Facebook

1. Some one that I talked to when I was like sixteen and was a creep then, but became a bigger creep years later when they broke into someone’s house and then went to prison for a year for it and wrote me weekly from prison.  Annnnnd they’ve now gotten their girlfriend pregnant and are posting “~*IT’S A GIRL*~” graphics all over the place.  Just no.  No.  NO. GET. THE. FUCK. AWAY.
2. Ex-boyfriends that I never had a decent relationship with in the first place that only want to try to get in my pants or bitch to me about their current situation or current girlfriend or newest kid.
