I'm sick. :(
As predicted, I have come down with The Sickness.
This is so not okay.
My nose is stuffy and running, I can't stop sneezing, and my throat is scratchy. From what I've heard, it only gets worse from here, and tends to last for weeks.
So far today I've spent the majority of my time sleeping. I did not get out of bed until almost 1, then went back to bed from about 2:30-5.
I have no idea when I'll go back to bed, but i'm sure it won't be too late. Especially as i'm home alone and there is no one to entertain me.
That's right, I am actually home, ALONE! That NEVER EVER happens!
Jay, Sarah, and Iain went to see a rock show in Lowell.
At first, I said I couldn't go because, since i've gotten pregnant, I havn't been able to hang like I used to, especially at bars, where I cannot drink, and the music and talking is loud. And thus, I am bored, and feel out of place, and just generally sleepy.
Then, I came down with this damn cold.
Now I really am too lame to take out of the house. LOL
But, what is a girl to do, being alone for the first time in months????
Post random, boring blog entries I suppose.
In other news, my Jeep FINALLY passed inspection this morning!!!!!!!
Thanks-so-much to my Brother-in-Law for putting so much time and work into it!!
I am THRILLED! I honestly thought it would never pass again.
I loose hope too easily on cars. LOL
This is awesome though, this means no more tickets, no more suspended liscence threat, no more threat of being towed or arrested, no more Sarah having to drive Jay to work at 5am, and FREEDOM for meeeee!!!! :D :D :D Now, if only I had the gas money to actually use it... hahaha
I am now 29 weeks pregnant.
The final stretch is in view! I remember back in the fall when thinking this far ahead was unimaginable, and now, here we are!
I no longer fit into most of my t-shirts, and am finding that I'm constantly having to pull them over the bottom of my belly at work. This would not be as noticeable if my chef coats actually fit! I now have to keep the bottom button undone, and the one above that is stretching. LOL
Finding a comfortable position to sleep in is also a challenge. I find that I often need to start falling asleep, spooning Jay. This helps prop me up on my side. I keep waking up on my back though, something that never used to happen to me. I'm also super annoyed with having to get up and pee every 2 hours! I really -do- need to go to bed earlier now, to make up for all the waking up and moving and shifting around in the middle of the night!
Last week the three of us roomies went out to W.Ma and visited Melissa, whom we had not seen in over a year! She now has an adorable 8 month old daughter! She was also kind enough to donate a whole bunch of baby items to Jay and I! We now have a green pack'n'play, a vibrating bouncy seat, a green 3-in-1 bathtub, a pink and gray Graco carseat, and like 3 giant bags of clothing!!
This adds to the things we've already been given, such as a high-chair, another bouncy seat, a simple exersaucer, the family cradle, and the changing table we bought on Craigslist.
Jay's best friend Tom has offered us his son's old crib, which has been passed on through his family, and today Jay's brother offered to bring the girls' crib out here from CO when they come to visit in June!
I also have a whole list of things I'm being given that my nephew no longer needs!! Including a 2nd carseat and pack'n'play, and a popason swing!
I feel so grateful for having these people around who are willing to help us out! :D
As for a baby shower, so far I have no idea what's going on with that or who is supposed to throw it. What I do know is, I've taken it upon myself to write my own guest list and I am now compiling addresses that I don't have. Then, I suppose, I will e-mail it to my best friends and family and tell them it's time to start planning! LOL Controlling-much? hahaha
Work has been a headache lately. There has been drama drama drama! We caught our bosses in somewhat of a lie about 2 weeks ago.. We had a staff meeting in which they told us that because of hard economic times and corporate bs, they cannot afford to hire anyone new on. They -also- told us that all of our jobs were safe! *whew* right?
Well, that afternoon, certain people found an ad posted on Craigslist looking for help at our account. This was a general ad, but a HUGE 'WTF?!' to all of us!
We kept it a secret for a few days, then finally, one Friday, right before we left, Sarah and I decided to confront our bosses about it. My assistant manager looked like a deer in headlights, as our general manager turned around and put his best asshole face and tone on, basically telling us that if we do everything he says, then our job is not in jeapordy, however, if we don't, then out we go. He also told us that -his- boss is making him fire and replace people, or his own job is on the line. Greeeeeeeeaaaat.
So, we'll see what happens from here.
I don't think i've done anything wrong, but i'm still scared. I -cannot- afford to loose my job, or my insurance right now. No no no no no I cannot. It's bad enough that my pay is now cut in half with Jay on my insurance and my hours being cut 5-10 hours a week. Super. Awesome.
I don't even bring home enough to make a rent payment anymore.
*sigh*
There was even more drama at work this week when several people were not doing their jobs, which then screwed me and Sarah over during peak serving time, and resulting in the cook blowing up at me, and me being forced to call a mediation meeting with our bosses.
Oye. Thank-God spring break is in 2 weeks!!!
I guess not much else is going on, and if it is, I blame my sick-brain for not remembering.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend!
I'm almost ready to go back to bed! :P
