Change

sad/tired/lonely.

They changed the time to noon instead of 2:30 for the procedure so i gotta be there at 10 instead of 1:30. sooooooo I might have an afternoon to feel sick from the anestetic. xD

Which reminds me. I need to go buy my dad's christmas gift, and get some Boxes from the post office for rachel's birthday present that I should have sent a long time ago.

Tomorrow is my Surgery

  • Dec. 15th, 2009 at 5:48 PM
Just passing the days
I'll be at the hospital for 4+ hours.

Risks of Surgery:
Injury to Colon, Uterus, Bladder (which will be fixed if it happens)
Bleeding out (which I have a wrist band that tells them there is blood set aside just for me in case it happens)
Infection (caused afterwards cause of a peice left behind)
Death (from anestetic)
Sickness (after surgery cause of anestetic <- common)

Doc said the highest risk is death from the anestetic which is super rare and she's been doing these things for years so I feel a little nervous about the procedure itself, but fine for the most part.

So just in case my body is like "see ya" when i'm put under >.<

I love everyone. :3

And michael gets all my stuff. xP (light humor not ment to be offensive. o_o)

Not feeling well.

Today I feel hot. Michael says it's not hot at all in here, but i'm sweating. I don't have a fever as far as I know. I feel fine to michael. But i'm sweating. It sucks. I'm irritable. I feel super bloated too. I've had three glasses of OJ cause i need the sweet and the liquid. It's the only thing we have right now. The OJ is making my stomach upset (it always has), but bleh.

I work in 20 minutes too ;_; Which means I'm going to be miserable at work. Outside is hot too. The cold front has gone away I guess. UGH.

Phil will understand if i can't work as well as I normally would. He also knows what's happening and scheduled me over the weekend and gave me the week to have the surgery and rest from it. An abortion (or inevitable miscarry) isn't too hard on the body from what i hear and read and most people can work the next day. Just mild cramping to deal with. I'd rather not work with mild cramping :P Soooooo they better schedule me for tues or wed.

Oki time to go.

-_-

Details.

So the doc says that the ebryo sack is there, the egg is there, and there is debree, but there is no baby in there. At some point the baby just disolved or didn't attach right, or one of a million things and that it's common and possibly genetic. Who knows.

My options are to wait for the sack to take care of itself and miscarry, or to have the doc do it. I'd have to go under for the doc to do it and there are it's own risks there. But I think i'm going to have the doc do it. I'd rather not wait a few days to several weeks for it to do it's thing. AND when that happens sometimes the doctors have to intervene and take it out anyway.

I was sad at first. And cried, but it just isn't my time to have children. I'm okay with it.

Well, I guess this is a sorta heads up. I'm not going into super detail yet cause there might be a slim chance of hope, but all fingers are pointing towards the negative.

Ultrasound didn't go so hot. Docs are concerned, we are worried. I'll explain more when I get more information.

I'm excited cause I have a Washer and Dryer people. They came in, are installed and are doing thier pre-run clean up before I can use them. I'm surprised... they are pretty quiet. I can hear the washer or dryer spinning faster and faster though. Like a quiet wheel spinning so fast it's hard to fathom. I can't wait to use em :D Did i mention that they are brand new and energy efficient? Well if not, then I'm mentioning it now. They are like my moms, but newer, cooler, quieter, more energy efficient, large capacity, and it sings to me.

Yes your read correctly. It sings to me. A feature I wasn't expecting. But it plays little pretty notes when selecting my settings and turning it on and off... and when it's done with a cycle one does a pretty little note over and over (not obnoxious at all) and the other one does a little jingle. Very pleasant. And it was a surprise to me. xD I wouldn't mind if it was quiet, normal, or obnoxious, but the singing is a plus. :3

*in total bliss*

Who knew someone could get so excited over a washer and dryer.

Weird Dreams

  • Dec. 7th, 2009 at 9:42 AM
sad/tired/lonely.
I've been having strange dreams. Last nights dream made my blood pressure increase. I think it's cause I was crying. Heather and Briana were in it, but for some strange reason they were stuck up and totally different. :( We were all at my grandmothers house (after she had passed) and I was getting some stuff and found out Gene threw away the drawing I gave them one christmas that mimi framed. I've never had any family member be amazed at my work to the point of HAVING to frame it and show it off. My grandmother and my aunt were like "OMGOSH AMAZING DAWN" <- the thing i've always wanted from my mom and dad, but never really got (to my face). Apparently they do brag to thier friends though.

I'm in a very depressing mood today. I have been for the past couple of weeks really. It'll go up and down, but having a kid is making me remember alot of things in my childhood that were both good and bad. Mostly bad though. Makes me want to write an informative letter to my mom all over again (which i've wanted to do pretty much every year sense I left home).

Mom and Dad Rant Good and Bad )

Decisions...

Just passing the days
Michael and I are kind of buying alot of the things we've been wanting to get, but have been putting off (cause they are large purchases). In Feb. we are financing a new flat screen tv. HOpefully morris will take his tv back, or maybe we can craig's list it for him. It's an amazing HGTV, but it's bulky. It's made more for a house that has room for a home theatre, then an apartment. I would just rather use the 300 we will pay him when he gets here for something else. A flat screen and mount will fit right above our fire place (perfectly) and it'll clear up so much space. Now don't get me wrong. I'm not going to use the fireplace. :x Fireplace + apartment = scary, so I'm going to put a sortment of large candles in it to give it that feeling of use.

My money was going to go towards the tv we got from morris, buuuut if he does take it back, or let us sell it then i'll be able to use my hard earned (and very slim) money on an Art Tablet. I want the new Intuos4 Medium tablet. On amazon it's going for 330 and free shipping. On the site it's 350 plus shipping. I wish the price difference btwn small and large were a bit better though. 200 for the small pad 350 for the medium. Such a huge difference. ugh. But I'd really like one. I also need to get a working updated photoshop. Photoshop 7 is pretttttty old. :p

So before our baby comes we want to be sure we're set on a couple of things that'll save me money in paper, and save living room with space.

I wanted a new couch, but we're just going to buy a slip cover. I'd also like a plastic wrap as well (to avoid cleaning the couch if something spills, pees, or whatever on it) but i don't think that'll happen. Slip covers aren't cheap eitehr. >.< 60-100+ dollars. But buying a new couch (especially the one I want) will be too costly.
========================
In other news...

Next weeks plans:
7th: Clean kitchen, dining, living room and take laundry door down.
8th: Watch and cry with joy for washer and dryer to be hooked up. Then use it like crazy.
9th: My first Ultrasound (scary)
12th: Go see Disney's The Princess and the Frog with either Heather, Shadrika, or both. :p
Ask boss for the 18th-20th off and the 24th and 26th or even the weekend after christmas off.
^ will be hard though. I asked for the 8th and 9th off already. If I can't have the 18-20th off and the 24th off, then I want the whole weekend after christmas off. I'm going to give them the choice. I don't need both whole weekends cause If get christmas weekend off, I can visit friends and family, but If i don't get the weekend off I want the weekend before so i can visit friends, then go to my parents for christmas eve and day. It's alot of traveling at once though, so i'm going to push for christmas weekend. :x There are like 4 GA's that never get scheduled, except on Black Friday. They say the day after christmas is a crazy day for the store, but i'm sure they'll do fine without one of thier seasonals. I worked the whole black friday weekend AND the monday after, so I'd like to get christmas weekend off. If I don't get my way with this I might have to tell them sorry and quit (as much as I don't want to). It's plenty of notice too. And i know as seasonals your kind of required to, buuuut I want to spend more then part of christmas day with my family. :( And i want to see my friends.

Chinese food, Bad or Good?

  • Dec. 1st, 2009 at 8:51 AM

=_=

Last night I had chinese food for dinner and for the first time I didn't get that nasea feeling afterwords. I've been getting it with everything, so I was expecting it, but it didn't happen. So i'm going to pace myself with it though. Once I eat something twice I'm sick of it (for the things i crave).

Well last night and this morning I had really bad gas. I know TMI, but it's not normal. It was painful. Extremely painful. -___- It's calmed down a little, but still hurts to some degree.

I thought about calling in work, buuuuut I don't really feel it's that great of an excuse. I'd rather save the call in (however many I have) for when i'm contageous (flu, cold, ect).

On a plus side I have almost a week off :D If they call me to come in, i'm going to say no. I want the break. It's not alot of work, or long shifts, but there is a smell that i'm getting sick of there. (thanks to Dante's Pizza *gag*)

I think for breakfast i'm going to get some sausage biscuits or something. I dunno yet. -_- I'm starving, but don't want to eat anything D:

Writer's Block: Smoke screen

What are your feelings towards smoking? What rights do you think smokers and non-smokers should have?

Submitted By [info]croses

I don't think people should do it, and if they are they should quit. Not only is it a pollutant to our already very polluted planet, it's harmful to the body no matter if it's just occassional or frequent. There are other stress relievers out there, so if stress is the issue try figureing something out. You can excersize, swim, drink less coffee, Meditate, Yoga, Tai Chi (<- mega stress reliever), and many other things.

I think smoking should be banned everywhere except thier own home. Smoke in your home outside of your home, but keep it to that. Sense that is pretty impossible, then there should be strict rules on ONLY using the designated areas for smoking. 15 feet away from public buildings, not inside, ect. You can even make it like a little comfy obvious area so it's more desirable, and well known for the none-smokers to avoid. Like my friend terra said, campuses have a problem. Make little outside areas for summer, and maybe like large shed type covered or indoor areas for when it's colder.

I hate it (with a passion) when people smoke right outside doors and walk in with it. I've even seen some hold in that last breath of smoke and let it out INSIDE to show rebellion or get that last bit of nicotine, i don't even know, but there all jackasses whether it's intentional or not.

Baby Disease

  • Nov. 29th, 2009 at 10:06 AM
Just passing the days
My dog is completely oblivious to me being pregnant and sometimes jumps on me while i'm laying down ;_; If i get a retarded baby I'm going to kick indy really hard.

My cat on the other hand is the opposite. She is more affectionate, happy all the time, and when she comes to lay on me, she avoids my tummy (which is strange). She isn't heavy and I think the purring will be good for the baby, but she seems to understand that that area is a precious area right now. hehe.
=================
Our house is so crowded right now xP So much stuff. Bulky stuff. ugh. It frustrates me.

OH and today I work. I tried to get the day off cause it'd be akward for me and michael to work out the car situation, but I'm the only seasonal (GA) that was taught the register extensively so no one can pick up my shift (unless it were one of the managers ;_;) Working 4 days in a row is strange and tireing, even if the shifts are small.

Baby Disease. It's spreading or something cause our supervisors wife just found out she's pregnant. Michael's brother is having a baby the same month I am... it's so strange. On another note though, heather (supervisors wife) will be in a bigger boat then me come baby time. Michael is pretty much garaunteed to be there for the birth, her husband might not be. :( AND cause he's now in the same boat... I fear that there will be no sympathy towards michael cause someone else is going through it too. So his chances of getting deployed just doubled if not trippled. *sigh*

Another Symptom UGH

Being pregnant is not a pleasant experience for me so far. :( I have been getting all the bad stuff, minus throwing up.

Yesterday at work I was still feeling tired and my back started killing me. Like reallly bad. I ended up sitting ALOT at work, and it didn't help at all. I felt bad that it hurt and didn't really do to much work. Luckily they had me on register most of the time. It's weird though. My back still hurts today. I got alot of sleep, but it's painful. T_T Lower back too, not upperback, so I cant just deal with it for very long.

This baby better be worth it, I swear xP

TURKEY

  • Nov. 26th, 2009 at 10:27 PM
yummy
So for everyone out there... I make the best and juiciest turkey out there.

When I stabbed it to check it's temp. and took it out of the oven, It gushed with juices... AND was still gushing when I carved it 20 minutes later. Biting into the BREAST part of it (the dryest part of most people's turkey) is dribbling with juices and yumminess. And no people, it's not undercooked. :D 170 for the chicken breast and 180 for the Thigh is where it's supposed to be at.

Yum!

Also going to brag about my Apple Pie. YOU PEOPLE. One of these days I need to have a friend thanksgiving and make this amazingness for everyone.

*shine*

*note: don't tell my parents, but I think my turkey was either just as juicey as thiers...OR juicier.. *gasp* (i say juicier)

We're spent.

  • Nov. 26th, 2009 at 6:13 PM
Just passing the days
We spent a fortune today. The washer and dryer's warranties were hella expensive >.< (but well worth it), the dryer connection kit, AND we went around to find other deals after we got home and budgetted out finances. :p When we went back out we bought 3 games. (by the way game stop is doing a buy 2 get 1 free on used games), Michael told me to get the two WOW action figures i wanted. :x I couldn't choose btwn the two. They just look soo cool ;_; Just note... if you buy something at books a million and there is a sale, the sale's price is ONLY (even on black friday) if you have a special books a million card. (bullshit btw).

Then we bought a blue ray player/surround sound system. That for right now doesn't seem to work with out tv :( Well the new cable we bought doesn't *cries*. I dunno if i want to return it or just wait till feb (when we plan to finance a new tv).

OH if your wondering in feb. we're going to be finishing our warranty payments (that's 150 bucks a month) and our advancement will be paid off so we'll have an extra 150 there too :3. So we plan on financing a brand new big ass amazing tv for 20-40 bucks a month. Yeah interest will be higher then just buying it, buuuuuut it's something we really want and we used our amazing tv fundings on washer and dryer. :p

Dissappointment

  • Nov. 26th, 2009 at 3:25 PM
:'(
Went to Sears and they told us they can't sell anymore of the washer and dryer we wanted. We got there at 8:30. The guy originally told us that if they ran out of in stock then they'd order on Wed, but changed thier minds today. There was another set of a different brand almost just as good for the same price, but the downside is parts are more expensive to replace. So we got that AND the Sears Warranty on each one. So for the next three years we're covered if they break, they'll replace it with a rental (free of charge) if it has to be taken out... AND anually they'll come and clean the machine inside and out to make sure it's working at peek performance :p

The differences btwn the two are the dryer isn't steam on this set where the other set it was and it has a 3 dollars energy saving difference a month. meaning the other one was MORE energy saving... but by 3 dollars. The plus side is... all the cheaper washers... the regular ones (not the front load) are a difference of 10-20 dollars. :p So we're saving alot still.

I almost cried at Sears though. Michael did too xP

Happy Thanksgiving :D

  • Nov. 26th, 2009 at 9:30 AM
Getting ready to look great
Hopefully Walmart will still be open cause I forgot a couple of things, but otherwise Pumpkin Pie is in the oven, Fruit salad is done, and Turkey is Dry brining in the fridge till around 12 or 1. yay.

Tomorrow is what I'm more excited about. We went to Sears yesterday to see what kind of sales they will have on black friday and lemme tell ya. It's amazing. The washer and dryer we were looking at we'd have to get there at 3am to hopefully get a ticket for the 4 sets of this cheap stackable washer and dryer for 600 bucks. BUT we asked about other things and the sales guy told us about this amazing deal on a Steam washer and dryer. There are as many as they can sell from 8-12 pm for 1k. We were planning on spending around 1100 or 1200 dollars on a decent, but cheap washer and dryer set. But with this deal I get an AMAZING washer and dryer. It's one of the ones I've always wanted but could never afford. I think right now, the set together would cost 2300 dollars, so the savings a STEAL. I think the washer was 1200 and the dryer was 1070 something. :O

Well anywho. I need to go find an open store to buy a couple things we forgot. :3 Toodles.

Sloth Loves me

Just passing the days
Sloth loves me more then ever lately. It's so weird. She is all up in my stuff 24/7. Doesn't really bother me too much. Well it does when she digs her nails into my thighs or shoulders, but otherwise, not really a bother.

Indy last night scared the shit out of me. Twice. First before we went to bed I patted the empty space beside me and he jumped onto my stomach (i grabbed his scruff really hard and pinned his ass to the bed giving him the crazy eye). THen in the middle of the night he muttered a ruffled bark, and howl. I've never heard him howl before, but his dream must have been crazy enough to make him howl. o_o He is also pissing me off with the litter box shit. Literally. He keeps eating my cats poop >.< Which means I can't have him near my face for like... the whole day. This dog is always in my face.

Anyway. I'm debating on making the pies today. I'm making both pumpkin and apple. I realize i'm not getting enough sweet things, except on the days I work. The days I work I get a sprite (which is soooooooo good). I should buy some sprite next pay period. mm

I've determined that grocery shopping whilst pregnant is a waist of money. Our pantry is full of stuff and I don't want any of it. Maybe the mac and cheese, but that's about it. So next paycheck it's just milk, eggs, cheese, OJ, hashbrowns, and snacks. I'll just take out or go get something to eat for dinner otherwise.

I almost threw a hissy fit today. I hate junk mail and I hate those stupid credit card calls. We got some mail saying our manufacturing warranty was about to expire.

1) Post a list of up to 20 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video games/bands that you've had an obsessive fannish love or interest in at some time in your life.
2) Have your f-list guess your favourite character/member from each item.
3) When someone guesses correctly, strike through the item and put the name of your favorite character next to it.

Note: Not doing Reborn since everyone already knows my favorite there.

(Note: most people will guess and guess correctly. Going to put some obvious "duh" ones too)

1. Pirates of the Carribean
2. Star Trek Generation
3. Star Trek (New movie)
4. Tales Of Symphonia 1&2
5. One Piece
6. Fairy Tale
7. Sailor Moon
8. Yu Yu Hakusho

13. TrueBlood
14. Harry Potter
15. N'Sync (<- Old school... haha guess my past!)*

17. X-men
(coming up with two more is too hard for this early in the morning xD)
* couldn't think of much else xD

--------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, to my day now. Lots of things to do today. On top of it all, i'm suuuuuuper tired. I worked my longest shift sense I got a job last night. And I work as soon as we open today. AND I gotta instruct the manager on what he needs to do (I have the POWAH! hehe). Sense I helped the Store manager and ast. manager do marketting last night, I get to give the manager who wasn't here for it the heads up. AND the Store manager wanted me to learn marketting (I think he wants me keep working after seasonal). He already told me I'm a candidate, but to say for sure... he's not able to say because that would be favouritism (respectable). I told him when he told me I was a candidate that I was worried being pregnant was going to hinder that opportunity, but he just said when the time comes (if i did get the permanent job) that i'd just take maternity leave and come back when I can (figuratively xD).

If Michael deploys though, that'll damper those plans. Daycare in the military is cheap, but getting paid 7.25 an hour will probably barely cover daycare, which means staying home would be more benefiting. If he doesn't deploy, then I can work evenings and weekends. I hope he doesn't. That'll really suck.

Back to my day.. After work i'm going to rest, then if I have time before I have to go pick up michael, try to clean up my computer desk and set up my computer. We moved our computers from the computer room (spare room) to the living room. It all fits, but our desks are soooooo huge and they don't match each other, let alone anything else, so it looks really sloppy. Oh well though. I want to get two matching smaller desks and put a small sorta drawer/printer stand btwn the two smaller desks. It'll make this part of the living room look better. Not happening soon though. -_- 3 bedrooms sound really nice right about now xP

Pregnancy Update:

Dec. 9th is my ultrasound. I'm excited, and nervous (not tooooo nervous). I still feel an adversion to most foods, but sometimes one thing will come to mind and I can chow down on it without feeling like throwing up. Of course I have to eat a few bites...stop...wait..then continue with the rest or i get super queezy. Sometimes i'd rather throw up then feel queezy xP. I also feel queezy on an empty stomach, but when nothing seems good and your stomach turns even more when you think of, or see, the food around you... -_- It's quite frustrating. When I'm cold, the panic sensation I used to get when I'd start having a panic attack sets in. It's an uncomfortable feeling in my stomach... like a twist and a cramp before the shaking occurs. That is also frustrating.

Right now.. all I want to eat are donuts for breakfast. :p Michael gave me the go ahead, but do I really need a donut (NO), but oh gosh... T_T DONUT! So i'm having biscuits with some butter and maybe jelly. That'll do I suppose. Not appealing, but no queezy feeling looking or thinking about them. Just a Do-Not-Want feeling. le sigh.

Payment

  • Nov. 21st, 2009 at 1:29 PM

FYI The payment system for Game Stop is kinda crappy. We don't get checks we get a debit type card. Which in a way is awesome, but if you do more then one transaction with the card, it'll charge you like 2 dollars per transaction. One per pay period. So basically, IIII have to use the checks they game me for the card, to pull ALL the money out so I can deposit it into our account. o_O

If things aren't worse. We signed up for Direct Deposit and for some reason our stores process is just screwed up and NO one has it yet. :x Even the managers who have been there for a while. >.< SO i'm SOL.

Washer and Dryer have to wait till next weekend. Bank takes 5 buisness days to xfer money from one bank to another (by the way Bank Of America sucks ass). We're low on money now, but I'm not worried cause we did xfer alot of money and it'll be there by next friday. wooo. Maybe I can find a good washer and dryer deal on black friday? I don't work till later that day :D
