  • Forever in my heart...

    I guess I should explain what my last entry meant....

    Thursday afternoon my dog, Sadie, was taken to the vet. We thought that maybe her leukimia had returned. A tumor was found upon her leg and the Vet did some blood tests. What I guess you could call yesterday, since I haven't slept much at all, morning Sadie began vomiting. She lost all interest in food and barely drank water. In fact within thirty minutes of drinking she would vomit back up. The results of the blood work came back and we were informed that they were normal for her condition and that it wasn't the leukimia that was affecting her. We were given an antibiotic to give her in hopes that she'll get better. She only vomited back up though. As the day progressed she only got worse. She became extremely weak and could barely walk. So it was then that we realized we would have to make a choice.

    At around one thirty this morning we drove Sadie to an emergency vet clinic. The vet there examined her and explained to us that her spleen had ruptured and she was bleeding internally. That even if he could do surgery she would only have weeks to live and that would be only if she survived the surgery. He said she would most likely die within a few hours as it was. At 2:20 this morning Sadie passed away.

    She was a wonderful dog that everyone loved whole heartedly. It was hard not to love her, she was everyone's favorite. I know in my heart that we did the right thing. Putting her to sleep was the best choice available, it was her time to go. And while I know this, while I know that we've been blessed with an extra six wonderful years with her doesn't change how much I hate having to let her go. I love her so much and I know she's no longer in pain and can finally be free of her sickness.

    I want to thank Aileen for coming over today and spending time with us. It meant a great deal to me. And thank you Derek for talking to me, even though you made me cry, at least you tried. And please if you leave a comment about how sorry you are for my loss please tell a story about her. Remember her in a positive light.

    She is forever in my heart, forever a part of me and I will always love her.

    Just a short update, I intend a larger one later.

    This week is going to be pretty easy for me

    Monday I work 3-9; which has already occured

    Tuesday I am completely free from any obilgation of either Shakers or Walmart

    Wednesday will be the same as Tuesday yay for two days off!

    Thursday I will be working at Walmart from 9 am to 6 pm. Its my orientation.

    Friday I will be at Shakers from 3 till 9.

    Saturday I have the awsome hours of 12 till 5. Yay for not closing!

    And finally Sunday. Sunday is a little up in the air as I'm not sure if Walmart will make me work that day or not however I am for sure off from Shakers (stupid hellhole)

    I will admit I'm going to miss working with Pat (one of my favorite coworkers) but I will be working mostly with Jill so I suppose that isn't bad since we work well together and with football season coming I know Fridays will be slow as hell.

    On to other news I had an excellent weekend! I have to admit I've been very happy these last few days and I know that it has to do with changing jobs and certain other people entering my life. In fact I've been more inspired in my writing. (Yes I know I've never talked about this) I recently finished my 29th chapter and am not currently working on my 30th. Somedays I shock myself with the disipline I've had for my story. Normally I just get bored and give up on it but I have really kept at for the last two years. I know only 29 chapters in two years but still I have really kept going with it. Plus I'm suddenly really inspired. So I'm thinking I will spend tomorrow someplace quiet working on my writing. =D

    So work was a little fun yesterday. By fun I mean painful. I managed once more to hurt myself. As my co-worker Kathleen was leaving I slipped on the evil wet floor and fell down onto both my knees. Now for those who don't know last January I fell on both knees when I tripped on a curb. So when I fell this time knees, particularly my left knee, decided to say eff you. So yeah Kathleen had to call the manager, Mike, and he had to help off the floor and I quickly discovered that my left knee just didn't want to support my weight. I plopped down into the chair by the door and Mike had to get the accident report paper and fill that out. He of course got called away and I had to finish it. So while I'm sitting there Kathleen had to take over the counter and this bitchy ass lady comes up and demands to know why I'm sitting and not helping her. I nearly lost it. However since I rarely lose my temper at strangers I politely and loudly told her that I had injured myself and was having a hard time walking. All the while wanting to tell her off for being so rude. Kathleen looked like she wanted to kill the woman. Oh and the woman had the audacity to argue about weight. That woman was utterly and completely rude and I wanted to beat her, or at least spray her with the hose.

    So while I'm sitting in this chair, in pain and irritated, I called my parents at home and on both their cell phones and found them unavailable. So I had to call Aileen (Who is the greatest friend ever!) to come get me. Mike had help me to Leeny's car and they gave me this packet of papers in case I went to the hospital, which wont happen.

    Thank you leeny for taking me home. Once home I plopped onto the reclining chair, after leeny left I got some ice and didn't move from that spot for the rest of the evening.

    I am glad to report that my knee is much better, I have no bruising (thankfully, they take forever to heal) however my entire leg is a bit sore. So after sitting for a long period of time getting up does hurt but once up the pain goes away (thankfully).

    Ibuprofen is now my friend.

  • Great News

    So yeah my life just took a turn for the better. I finally got a new job, something that I desperately needed. Don't get me wrong I love the people I work with and I have no real problem with working with people, as I will be continuing to do so. However I am really just plain sick of the stupidness of my current job. So starting next week I'll be working at Walmart, and actaully get paid more there with a higher chance of a raise something I never got at Shaker's. Its ridiculus really I've worked at that stupid grocery store for two freaking years and the only raises I've ever gotten were the one the government required becase they raised mininmum wage. That's how cheap my boss is.

    But now I will no longer be working at that stupid store much. I did tell my manager that could work on fridays but only fridays. I wont be able to work other days.

    So yesterday I was probably the happiest I have ever been in almost two years. Which reminds me, thank you Pope for coming and visiting me at work, it made the day even better then it already had been.

    In other news. I'm an idiot. I have once again proven this aswell. I lost my debit card for the second time, how stupid can I be. This time I lost the card somewhere between the store I was shopping at and Calcifer. So I basically destroyed the interior of Calcifer and called the store itself to see if I had left it at the register or someone might have possibly turned it in and I had no luck. So I had to call my bank and explain that the card had been lost, thankfully no one has tried to use it so I have no unwanted charges on it. I now have to wait ten days to get the card and pin number which both come separately. It also cost me ten bucks to get a new card. I have to admit though if my card is once more different looking than the previous one I will laugh. My first card had been a dark blue color and my second one was bright gold. How I lost a bright gold card I'll never know.

    And this concludes the updates of my life.
