So... life has been running smoothly here...ish. lol. I've been arguing with a cold for the past few days, which is appropriate enough as right before we go on vacation I either get sick or start my period. Since the latter is not happening, I got sick. Thanks dad.

Anyhoo, on the job front: I am no longer in housekeeping, thankyouverymuch. I had put in my two weeks notice two Wednesdays ago and finished up this past Wednesday. I was unemployed for all of five minutes when my dad caught me passing his office and told me Pam was looking for me/trying to call me.

Back story: I think last month my dad told me that Sterile Processes in OR was looking for another tech (he also said that if I really wanted it, Pam would hire me). I applied but we were all dragging our feet because we weren't sure what doctors would say.

After dragging our feet and a couple doctors appointments later, I was interviewed this past Tuesday, and Wednesday I got the job. I am very excited for this job, I will be an actual hospital employee (not just contracted) and will therefore receive benefits and what not. YAY! Plus, I'll be making more an hour. Granted, it's not much, but it sure beats minimum wage. I start September 13.

Onto the medical mumbo jumbo of my life. As you all know, I switched doctors after my last doctor crapped out on me. I like this new one; he came highly recommended. While the last one was knife happy, he isn't. I had exams and an ultrasound (technically, it was a sonogram) done and of course, endometriosis doesn't show up on US. Since there was nothing wrong with the scan, he set the brakes for surgery. He wants me to continue this birth control for a couple more months to see what it does (uhm, excuse me, I was on Loestrin for nearly a year. It didn't do jack. How will this differ?) Oh well. So we didn't schedule a comeback date, but we're just going to give it some time and then I guess surgery will happen. I am in constant pain y'all. Sometimes it's more noticeable, but for the most part it's just a consistent pain. There's nothing that makes it better or worse for that matter. Just whatever it feels like. Yes, my uterus has a mind of it's own.

I'm glad he isn't knife happy, and we kind of argued about this, but he doesn't want to take risks. He has to have justification for everything, and what if I react badly to the anesthesia or something (not him) bungs up. So he makes good points, but at the time that's not what I wanted to hear.

Oh. Good news: my cysts on my ovaries are gone. YAY. So that's one less thing to worry about.

Other news in life: I'm going on vacation Saturday. To the happiest place on Earth :D Daddy and I are very excited about this. I'll be gone for a week.

Life is good. God being great is the reason life is good. :)
