Okay so seriously, people need to start kicking me in the ass to update this thing, sometimes I completely forget that I have it.
Anyways, this week was like a week of hell for me, seriously. You would think since I had Monday-Friday off from work that it would be such an easy week. It really wasn't though.
Some of you already know, but for Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, I was invited by my boss to accompany her and 3 other people up to Boston for a training program for a new invitation system that we're going to be using in our store. Let me tell you...when I first accepted, I was thinking... well that's great, you know, it was nice of her to ask me because she could have asked anybody else that works with us to go. So, I figured it would be stupid of me to say no. Although... after I agreed to go I was regretting it majorly hahaha. It was just so weird, I was the youngest one there...and even though it was really only for one full day, it was just weird for me. All the older women were drinking everytime we went out to eat and talking about their kids and what not, and here I am... not even old enough to drink with them (off by a year, give me a break! hahaha) with no kids and absolutely nothing to talk about. I roomed with one of the ladies that I was closest with, and even that was weird. All in all, it was a 4 hour training program and it wasn't hard at all. I got paid for it, and I basically did nothing the entire time except for those 4 hours of training. The meals were paid for, the hotel was paid for, it wasn't that bad. Only thing is I wished I had a laptop or something to lug around the entire time because even though I had my sidekick on me, I was going through withdrawals like wh0a.
I got home around 6pm on Wednesday evening, ate dinner, and decided I'd take a "nap". Ahahaha, this nap turned into an all night event. Mind you, I'm used to waking up at freaking 12pm everyday since I'm not going to school this semester, and during my trip I had to wake up at 7 in the morning, so I was exhausted. I slept until about 12am that night, woke up... played around online for a bit and then headed right back to sleep...only to wake up at 5am the next morning to get ready to go with my dad to the hospital to get his back surgery :(
Oh geez... the surgery was another fiasco. We got there around 6 in the morning, and I'm dead to the world and tired. He went into surgery around 8 that day, and let me tell you... I was waiting in the waiting room with my mom and my grandma for 12 HOURS before going up to see him in his hospital room. It was the most ridiculous thing in the world. And it wasn't like we could have went home and kept calling the hospital to know when he was getting his room, the hospital was about an hour away from us. So all we had to do was sit and wait. I might have played 2948390453 games of Sudoku and chatted with Rena on my sidekick for 483 hours. Oh yeah, and I napped as well... I was so tired that my mom had to wake me up because I started to snore :-\ hahaha gosh.
The surgery went well, and today he actually got to come home. I'm glad I requested off from work this Thursday and Friday because I seriously need to get myself back on track, since this whole week was like wh0a crazy for me.
Today was my first normal day since Tuesday, and it's been such a long freaking week. But I'm glad things are settling back to normal. I've gotta work this weekend unfortunately :( so it's not all over just yet. Gah, this is the longest entry ever. I guess it should cover me for like another 2 months hahaha or if I'm Rena, another YEAR :-P
