Summertime, summertime , sum sum summertime
Wow! Haven't posted in a while.
I am feeling pretty good lately. I am on some new meds for my blood sugar (glipizide, if anyone cares) and I can tell it's working, even without the BGL meter. I feel tons better. I am also taking melatonin for the sleeping trouble and that seems to be helping as well.
Things are pretty good on the job front. I get to keep my job, which is excellent! But unfortunately, one of the awesome people I work with is being bumped by someone who is... difficult to work with. To put it mildly. No one really understands why she even wanted that particular job, but it really is a shame because the person she's bumping is fucking amazing at her job. Too bad that doesn't get taken into account at this point :/ So those are some changes coming up that I'm not really looking forward to.
Big congrats to one of my bestest friends, Dawnie. She is off to NMU for grad school! Hooray! I knew you could do it! And can do it! You're going to rock. My one piece of advice is don't let non-grad-school things fuck you up/over! Be strong and be your own woman. You are amazing. Don't ever forget that. Oh, and watch out for scorpions. :)
I am not sure yet how I feel about my summer classes...kind of feel like I got tricked into taking SIgn to Voice again but they called it something different. I know they will be good for me but I really wanted a short break from that. Trying not to get stressed out about the ITP (Sign Language Interpreter Training Program) Screening in July. Trying. Failing often, but trying.
This summer is going to be packed for me. Heading to Wisco this weekend (tonight, actually) and coming back Monday. Tuesday & Thursday evening classes, working 40 hours a week, mock screening the 20th, Camping the weekend after that... probably head to Jerome for the 4th, then probably camping again after that, then Week of Terror (one of those days will be the ITP Screening. I Hope I can sign up for an early date and get it over with.) Then....whew. August opens up a bit so I will probably take a couple vacation days just to chill the hell out. I will find out in Aug. whether I got into the program. Wish me luck on that one!
Things with Ed are still wonderful :) We have decided to move our wedding date back a year...unless I don't get into the ITP then we'll see. But I wasn't going to try to plan a wedding at the same time I have to have 240 hours outside of class/work. That'd probably make my head explode.
Hmm, what else. One of my new favorite songs is "Trouble is a Friend" by Lenka. I like a lot of her stuff. But that one, for some reason, gets stuck in my head and won't go. It's catchy.
Hope everyone is having a fun summer!
