i just don't care anymore.
I always wanna update this thing, but I never feel like I have anything good to say. The other day I updated the software on my iPod touch to the 4.0 OS, and even though it told me it backed everything up, I lost everything. I almost cried. I'm extremely OCD when it comes to my iPod, so everything has to be titled correctly and there can't be any duplicates, each song has to have cover art, and I had like 4 play lists...all gone. It's gonna take me FOREVER to get it back the way it was. I know there are worse things in life, but I think it's a pretty good thing when my iPod is my biggest concern on a given day.
That's not to say I don't have other problems. I really need to stop the online dating thing. While I've met some awesome people and have had some fun dates, I'm just really not into the whole dating thing right now. It's so freaking stressful and time consuming for something that hasn't worked for me. The one guy that I really thought was gonna work out wound up meeting someone else and stopped talking to me...so much for being friends. I made plans to hang out with a guy this week and I really, honest to God don't feel like going. It would be awful of me to cancel, right? It cracks me up though because it seems like everyone is trying to set me up with someone. Every time I talk about a guy, my mom goes "Is there any dating potential there?" Ugh. The other day one of my patients asked me if I was married, and when I said no she proceeded to try and hook me up with one of our other patients...seriously?! Then she asked me if I was single because I couldn't find the right guy, and when I said I guess so, she goes "That's bullshit. The 'right guy' doesn't exist." WTF?! hahaha. The things our patients say just crack me the hell up.
I honestly wish I could work more hours. I'm already there 35+ hours a week, and sometimes I hate it, but for the most part I love my job. I've learned to look past the little annoyances and go with the flow. It makes my life 100x easier and less stressful. Sometimes ya just gotta let things roll off your shoulders. I mean obviously there are still times when I get really ticked off at some things, but I've gotten to the point where I can call my co-workers out if their not doing their job, and most of the time it works.
Right now I'm working on trying to save some money, and let me tell you, it's hard as shit! I get paid three times in July though, so that's going to be extremely helpful. I really want to take a vacation at some point in the near future. I know I'm not going to be able to go this summer because our sisters trip to the shore fell through (which I absolutely knew it was going to), but I was thinking of maybe trying to do something around my birthday next year. Also, I'd like to join the 21st century and get a smart phone. It's only $30 extra a month, but when you haven't been accounting for it and you're trying to save for other things, it makes a difference. We just had to cut all of our premium channels on Comcast because it was costing me $180 a month and they said they couldn't lower it...bullshit! I hate Comcast so much. Oh well.
We lost another dog this week. Kira passed in her sleep on Tuesday night. She was like 16 so she had a nice long life, but it's still sad. She really took a turn for the worse after Riley died though. I was gonna drive up to Manhattan today to pick up a dog to foster from one of their shelters (he looked identical to Little Mama. they could have been litter mates), but they euthanized him last night. I was SO sad when I got that text from Allison today...even only she would have gotten the urgent message a little bit sooner :( Poor guy..
I guess that's all since I'm just rambling now. I'm just so damn bored. Maybe I'll go watch a movie or do some more cleaning or something. Talk to ya later. With love and no direction, Shannon
