Visiting Brannon was much fun, I'm glad we were able to go. I miss her. :( But at least I know what to get Robin for Christmas now...

When I went in to work Monday, I was told that after this Saturday (when I'm scheduled to work), I'm no longer going to have regular hours, I'll just be on call. Which doesn't really do much for me, so when I go in tomorrow, I'm just going to ask Sharon to tell the boss I'm quitting. I do have a good idea on where to find a new job; I found a listing on the school website for another file clerk position in a doctor's office, so I'm gonna call about that. And in the meantine, I'm helping dad at the office. So it'll be fine... I'll kinda miss Sharon, but I'm almost relieved to have a good excuse to quit. Retail just isn't my thing. Give me a nice clerical job any day.

I put off blogging about my week for too long and now I don't remember what I was going to say... Oh, I had a doctor's appointment this morning to see about getting a raised scar on my arm fixed. Basically, my choices were A) have the whole scar just cut off and the skin sewn up (yikes) or B) get two shots of steroids a month apart to try and flatten it. Obviously, I went with option B, and got my first shot. The funny thing was that they ended going through two needles before they finally found one that worked. So I actually got two jabs in my arm instead of one... But once they found one that worked, it only took a few seconds. Needles don't bother me near as much as they used to. Maybe it's the anxiety meds. But I can just imagine Ellie reading this and squirming. ^_^

I find it very amusing that I have a busier schedule right now than my therapist. I'm not supposed to have extra-curricular activities. But not only do I have two of those (I think), but there's also my job and class. It makes re-scheduling an appointment hell, and I've had to do it twice in a row. The first one being missed was my fault, the second hers. But it's ok... I can wait.

I had to take Lucy to get more shots, which was another $90. Fortunately, the next ones (in three weeks) are the last. But I still have to get her declawed and fixed, and I haven't even asked how much that's going to cost. Sigh. I have a little over $30 in my bank account right now. And unfortunately, I don't get paid until next week. Double sigh.

In random thoughts, I really need to balance my checkbook, and I'd really like to know why there's a huge gaping hole in the middle of S. Perry Street. But whatever.

Now it's time to read and play crossword puzzles. I'm such a dork.

And I miss my Ellie!

That's... Actually rather accurate. Weird.

Midterms are over. Wahoo. But I gotta get up early tomorrow morning and drive to Rome. Allllll the way over the Atlantic Ocean. Sigh. No, not really. Just to Georgia. But still. At least I'll get to see Brannon. :) And then back on Sunday, and I have Monday and Tuesday off. Wheeeeee!

On a less good note, it's now only me and one other person working on the school newspaper... Whimper...

Bed time.

Much craziness lately. Class and work are taking up waaaay too much of my time. And I'll be damned if I'm not getting into some extracurriculars. Who'd have thought?

I have to work tomorrow, which I'm not looking forward to. There will be two other people there this time; I guess they expect to busy. So I hope we are. Or it's gonna be a loooong day. And after that, I might go see the one-acts currently showing.

I really need to put up some my pictures of Lucy. They're so unbelievably cute. I also need to figure out how to call Ellie. I miss her. :( And I'm not at all jealous. Freakin' Scotland. What's so great about being there? It's cold and wet and stuff. And ugly. Yeah.

Too much to do, too little time. And when you force lots of sleep into the equation, it just gets worse. Sigh.

Speaking of. ;)
