Life.
I am really bad at this "writing in my journal" thing.
So, I've been on my medication for a few months. Went back and had more blood tests done and the doctor decided to up my dose a bit cause my TSH was still a little high.
I've been feeling alright. I'm not sure if I'm hoping for some miracle cure or something, but I still get tired really easily, although the headaches, muscle aches and bone aches are diminished.
Only time will tell.
In other news, I've been working at Rose's second-hand shop for the past... two and a half months? Since May. It's been a lot of fun, and working for her is one of the easiest things I've ever done. However, she can be stingy with the hours. It's not her fault, it's really the fact that the area we're in isn't conducive to good business but it still sucks when I'm supposed to work four days a week and get bumped down to three or less.
I had an interview yesterday with Walmart (ughhhh I know, evil), and they want to hire me for the new store they're opening in our town. Full time, in the dairy/frozen foods area. Fine by me, I welcome full time work. I can put some money away for when I want to go back to school, help with bills more and not feel so damn poor all the time.
I feel kind of bad only because I have no idea when they're going to want me and I know Rose needs the help until at LEAST the end of the summer. Dan says they're not opening the new store until mid-September, which would work out well in our favor because that gives Britnie (Rose's previous employee that I had replaced for the summer) the required time to tell her summer job that she's going back to Rose's and also for her to be back in the swing of her substitute teaching.
So, I have to have a drug test and a background check and then I'll hopefully have a full time job!
Other things... Kristen is going back to school in the fall. I'm excited for her, and a little bit jealous because I want to be going back myself. It's definitely going to happen at some point, I just wish it were sooner rather than later.
We're planning on visiting my older brother in Phoenix at the end of August, but I'm really having a hard time hanging onto my money. Every other day it seems like there's something new that requires me to sink almost all of what I make into it. It's frustrating. But I still have the rest of this month and most of August to save, so I'm sure I'll be able to hack it. Worst case scenario, we don't go and Kristen still has a week off of work to do whatever she wants. So, not a terrible thing, but not something I'm hoping happens.
What else?
Visited Long Island over the Independence Day weekend. Saw the butthead siblings, it was fun. Saw my mother, it was meh. Saw Penny, she looks good despite her myriad health problems.
I miss LI at times. I miss living in a more metropolitan area. I miss culture and variety and the bustle.
Then I remember that if I were still on LI, I wouldn't be getting to experience any of that culture, variety or bustle anyway. So that's still a plus.
I've been trying to figure out what I really want to study when I go back to school. Kristen is going back for chemistry, with a concentration in forensics. Timmy is pursuing a career as a math teacher. I feel like I lack a specific career path, and there's not much point in going back to school without knowing what you're going back for. All I know is that I want to make more money than I am now, there are debts I need to pay off and I want more from life.
Pretty simple.
