Holy cow...
I suck at this whole journal thing...but the fact that I still have no internet (or TV) at home is my excuse. Hell, I had to have them remove the filter from this computer just to get on here today. Anyhow, here's the haps:
I'm still working at the paper, as of today Kim isn't -- she got hired by the Mining Journal. Found out earlier this week that one of the photos I entered in the Michigan Associated Press photo contest actually won a 1st place prize. So I now have a little bonus for my resume, and a nice $100 bonus that will come in handy when I go to Oregon next month to visit Magee, Joe, and the baby.
Speaking of babies, Jaelyn Kay Gearhart was born at Dickinson County Memorial Hospital at 8:51 p.m. EST on April 4. She was 17.5 inches long, 7 lbs 14 oz, with long fingers and feet and adorable little lips. I'll post a photo when I can. I havent gotten to see her a whole lot cuz of work, but I get down there as much as I can. Uncle Lance is in love, and only wants to hand her over when she needs to eat or be changed.
I bought my first car-dealership, auto-loan car, a white Chevy Blazer, last month. I love it, but it makes me very, very nervous.
After being prompted for years by my parents, my sibings, and my doctors to take my thyroid medication, I'm finally giving it a shot. Unfortunately, this decision has led to multitudes of Dr.s appts, blood tests, other medications, and sleep labs, none of which I'm very impressed with. I'm trying, but right now it feels like its just too much at once. I agreed to take 1 tiny pill a day, and now I'm swimming in medical issues and expected to take 5 pills every day, which need to be taken on an empty stomach, or with food, 4 hours away from each other, or food, with a full glass of water, standing on one foot, whistling through my nose and singing the "Star-Spangled Banner." Ok, not really, but that's how it feels. Plus, while I can't even mange 2 meals most days, I'm sposed to have time for 6 small ones throughout the day, and testing my blood sugar. Ugh.
In less than a week I'll be turning 24, which makes me kind of sad. When my mom turned 24, she was already married and expecting me. My friends and siblings are married, have a kid, or both. I, meanwhile, am childless (which I'm ok with, really) and am not only single but have never had a relationship at all. And it's not like I was too busy being successful to deal with them...my grades weren't THAT good, and it's not like I adore my job.
But whatever. I'm done.
