In case you were wondering...
For the first time in a really long time, I'm moving forward. It may be slowly, and I may have a lot of underbrush hiding the path, but there is actual placing of one foot in front of the other. It's different. It's good.
I know I mentioned in my last post that I was supposed to go get some tests done. Well, I did, and the results suggest what I went to the first clinic to figure out in the first place. The doctor thinks it's likely that I have PCOS. Not pleasant, but it certainly would explain a LOT of my issues. There are some symptoms of it that I don't have, but it's weird in that not everyone gets everyTHING anyway. I didn't get to ask her what we need to do to make sure. I may try to find another clinic, because this one was technically for chronic ailments, and as much as PCOS is one, it's not on their list.
And in other news, I was accepted to the school I want to attend. And my FAFSA said I qualify for the maximum amount. I think. I need to actually go to the financial aid office at the school and try to get the ball rolling on figuring out how everything works for real.
I have also started looking for another job. I cared about my coworkers and my department enough to keep plugging away for a long time, but multiple things are piling up that have made me change my mind. In spite of being the person in the department who is paid the least and works the fewest hours per week, I keep getting all the most time-consuming and/or tedious of tasks passed on to me. If everyone were pulling their own weight, it wouldn't bother me at all. But there continues to be a person in our department who does jack poop nothing MOST of the time, and gets away with it. And even the ones who do work tend to get away with putzing around when I don't. I like my boss, and my other coworker, but liking the people you work with is not a reason to drive 30 minutes to get treated unfairly and paid very little.
Especially not when you need money for school! :)
