I called in sick yesterday for work. Partly because I was actually sick (I mean not super sick but still felt pretty crappy) And partly because I couldn't take another day there without exploding. I spent all last week studying for my finals and I took my last one on Friday and then had to go to work right after. Since then, I've been working 8-9 hour shifts everyday. I haven't had time to really relax and been really irritable with everyone around me. I just wanted one day to myself. That's all. I'm not a lazy person in the slightest. But this nonstop schedule was too much for me. I still feel really guilty though since the store has been really busy for the holidays.

Also I'm paranoid that I'll get let go because of this. I mean, I don't like the job THAT much but my pride is too big to the point where I can't consider it an overall good thing and instead I will just sulk on how I was let go on this one job.
 
Not bad, all things considered. I finally got in touch with my job coach and sent out some practice resumes. The one job sounds like it'd be a breeze, so hopefully I'll hear back from them.

That aside, we got Gracie's ashes back today. They came with a copy of the Rainbow Bridge poem and a plaque with her paw print embedded in it.
 
Very fucking drowsy and tired right now and not in the best mood at the moment. I don't know. Like I did get something for Christmas but I'm just not even that excited about tomorrow at all. I think it's also a bit of uncertainty going on right now and just how I want to move forward that I'm thinking about. Like I know what I want to do, but I just don't know if I can and there's some guilt about that.
 
I am sorry for my relative absence at the Farms, however, real life events have been taking up most of my time. A good friend of mine's been man PMSing, but I did meet a new girl and we seem to be hitting it off quite nicely.

That being said, I must have my title of "The One True Incel" rescinded.

I will continue to fulfill the duties of the office, until a worthy successor has been found.

Apart from that, I hope everybody had a great Christmas. I worked mine, but they double paid and fed me. :)
 
Well after struggling with depression these past several months I might be getting some Guinea pigs this spring to cheer me up. I had them when I was younger and I loved them. They just seem like nice little pets. Easy to hold and cuddle and too big for my cats to bother.
 
I was the only aide on the floor for 16 patients with 4 admits on Saturday, with 2 total cares and a wandering old dude.
At least I wasn't alone last evening. And now it's my break. For a day. Shoot me.
 
Today I found out I'm allergic to eggplant. I also found a swell little sloth figurine. The latter was the more enjoyable experience.

I was out today and got a new coat which I liked and which also fit me pretty well among other things.
 
Well, I'm being let go at my current job. My last day is the 2nd. Oddly enough, I feel optimistic. I think I'm use this month to relax. Catch up on some shows, play some video games, read some threads on here. The semester doesn't begin until the 24th and I'll probably get my financial aid stipend around the middle of the month. In the beginning of February, once I get settled into the semester, I'll probably start looking for another job.
 
Still getting settled in to my new place (I don't start work until Monday). At least I have most of my things unpacked and put away so the new apartment isn't a complete mess. Only things left to unpack are my hundreds of collectibles. :oops:
 
I want to contact my aunt on my dad's side (aka the side I had little to no contact with since birth). I'm not sure if I ready to start a relationship with my dad yet since he has some problems (mental illness, pill popper, may still be an alcoholic) but I think I'm ready to meet other family members. Thing is, I'm worried that she doesn't like me anymore. I first contacted them at 17/18 and honestly, it was so overwhelming that I backed out. I'm 24 now and things have setttled down a bit. I think I'm ready to give it another go. I'm worried because I asked my mom to contact my aunt on Facebook a while back and nothing has happened. I want to see if I can contact her myself but I feel like that'll seem stalkerish.
 
I have an exam already next week and I got a shitload I need to do that I'd prefer to get done before Saturday, especially the programming lab due Monday, the Hospitality exam Thursday, and then the one for that history class I'm taking the week after that. I had college senioritis for several weeks that's still kinda there, but I've felt much more motivated to really do all this shit before it's too late.
 
Leaving for Katsucon tomorrow as Beatrice from Umineko No Naku Koro Ni. The plan was originally supposed to consist of me staying with my boyfriend since he already has a room at the convention center, but my dad had to raise a fuss over this - even though my boyfriend is sharing the room with other people anyway - so now I'm going with a friend. Which isn't bad per say, since her birthday is Valentine's Day and it'll be like my present to her. Still, my overprotective dad just had to throw a wrench in things and ended up making the whole situation a lot more complicated. So he's coming too, but only as me and my friend's carpooler. (our hotel isn't within walking distance, but it's the cheapest and closest one that still had vacancy.)

We're also gonna miss out on a good chunk of the first day, since Maryland is at least a 4 hour drive from where I live. Should still be fun overall though. My bf is Battler tomorrow, and we're going to attend the formal ball together.

I'm going to a dance with some friends tomorrow.
 
Thoat's been giving me sharp pains since Tuesday. Can't figure out what it is, though. I'm assuming it's a lung infection, but I can't say for sure.
 
So my aunt finally contacted us. And she wants me to meet my dad before her. Or them together. Ugh. If this was several years ago, this would've given me a heart attack. I'm not that opposed to the idea as I was before but it still gives me anxiety. And the worst part of it, I have no idea why.

I've sort of realized that my story mirrors Cole Smithy's a bit.
 
Looking forward to a weekend away with the wife for valentines day. Currently drinking black vodka and listening to Hank Williams which I guess is some sort of low point but I don't know if it's worse than the Dolly Parton fanboy I become when truly drunk.
