A Body's Revenge

Ok, so I did yard work yesterday. Not too bad...but the whole day yesterday was kinda crappy. It all began when I woke up.

So I woke up with this horrid feeling in my nasal cavity, like I had a small watermelon stuck in there. So, like a normal person, I went to blow my nose. Good idea, right? NO. Instead of the normal things that come out of one's nose, I got a kleenex full of blood. Wonderful. Just what I wanted. So after about 5 minutes of trying to get the beeding controlled, I'm able to go about normaler things in my life.

So I took a shower, and then Dad decided it was yard work time. I figured it couldn't be too bad...despite the fact that I had already sneezed somewhere into the double digits by then. (note: mowing while your sinuses already hate you...NOT a smart idea.)

It was cold outside, which I was partially thankful for, so I was wearing longsleeves while I mowed, however i still got grass all over me. Hello shower #2 of the day.

Then we had to go to church. No big. It's cool and totally normal for a Wednesday night. So I get to church, and we are getting ready to eat, and some of the ladies were talking about how they, or others they knew have had this apparent stomach bug that is going around. Now for normal people, that information wouldn't freak anyone out, but for little Miss OCD me, it scared the living daylights outta me (Sad, I know, but my biggest fear is throwing up, and my kryptonite is an unhappy stomach, not to mention my OCD is germ induced).

Well, the rest of church went well, despite all the sneezing that continued. I finally get home, get to bed, and then we come to this morning.

Gee, this morning, that nasal cavity watermelon feeling was back...and so was the blood. Lovely...just beautiful. So today i feel about 3 times worse than yesterday, my nose is runny AND stuffy, and my head feels like I've got an angry rock band in it. I'm ready to feel better.

I don't enjoy being sick, but I'll get over it. I have a tendency to get whiney when I'm sick, if you haven't noticed. Blah.

If anything else interesting happens, I'll let you know.

By the way, sitill haven't heard from the animal shelter :(

Sometimes Life Enjoys Punching You in the Stomach

Sooo....I am no longer employed...yeah. Someone else applied who was older, single, and out of college, and she can work full time year round. So since I was the last one hired, I'm the first one let go...they are letting another girl go too. I had this job for a whopping week....ONE WEEK. Not ok. I've got bills and gas to pay for, and last time I checked, good looks won't buy you either.

I applied at Jersey Mike's (no I don't want to work in food, but hey, money is money.), and I stopped by one of the Veterinary offices, of which didn't need any help. Last move of desperation today...Called the Animal Shelter. I really love the Animal Shelter. That's where I got my incredible Kittie from. I figured it would be too good to be true that they would be hiring. I called anyways...they told me they WERE hiring! It's a cleaning position, but hey, it can't be near as bad as cleaning up cow poo. Seriously. So I rushed over there, filled out my application, and apparently I'm the only one that has applied thus far!!! It's looking pretty good that I'm going to get the job!

Today hasn't been the greatest, but i know, God still loves me, and He knows what's going on.

OH! Dad decided not to do yard work today :)

Rain? Yes please

No work for me at the coffee shop today. I need to run some errands though. After I get back, Dad wants me to help him with the yard. Now don't get me wrong, I love my Dad, but I HATE doing yard work. I'm not really sure why, but I despise it. So I'm hoping for some rain to get me out of it. The yard can wait another day, it won't hurt anything.

In other random news, I'm having a "pretty day" today. I love days like this. You know, after you get up and take a shower and get all dressed and stuff and you just feel like you are the most beautiful person on the planet? I love it!

Well, I should probably head out to town to pay bills and all of that fun stuff.

Maybe someone will comment on here ;) lol
