So sick...

The day that I took my kitty to the vet, I was fine. Unfortunately, as soon as I got home I started to feel a bit woozy and light headed. That turned into a high fever, aches, chills and all sorts of lovely symptoms. I was so Ill that I pretty much slept through the weekend. I feel much better now and the kitty is back to cuddling with me at night. Yay!

I seem to have gotten my boss sick though. Oops? Although I can't take all the credit, most of the staff and clients at work are sick too. Stupid stomach bugs spread like wildfire.

I got to step into my new position for the day since bossy boss was off sick though. It was a bit stressful, but I think I can handle it.

Still a bit panicked about the wedding, I feel like I need to be doing more than I am. Everyone keeps asking me how the wedding plans are going and since I'm not really doing much It makes me feel like I must be falling behind. I have to print out invitations, that's the huge task that is getting me overwhelmed. 100 invitations, 100 reply cards, 100 reply card enveopes addressed and stamped, 100 direction cards printed, 100 invitation envelopes addressed and stamped, 100 invitations fully assembled with a pretty little ribbon bow... Ugh.

Then there are the 100 wedding favours and the centrepieces and that's not even everything I have to do.

new job? what? :oD

so it's not really "new". It's a promotion, that I had to apply for.

for months now, the big big big boss, has been trying to get the ball rolling to get someone into the assistant position at my workplace. FINALLY they did an internal posting and I jumped at it. More pay to do the job I'm already doing? I'm in!

I applied and the only person who seemed to dislike the thought of me getting the position is my own cousin. the person who got me the job in the first place was making all sorts of snarky comments about how I would likely have a harder time getting the job than I think. well PBLTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! on him. I got it!

on a less happier note. My kitty had to go to the vet today. The other day I noticed what looked like a minor eye infection, but yesterday it got much worse and his eye was pretty well gooped shut. also, he had a loose tooth. poor thing, he was wincing every time he ate. so the vet opened his eye and said "yup, conjunctivitis" and then opened his mouth and said "yup, loose tooth" and yanked it out! O.O kitty didn't even yelp, I think the second of pain was worth it to get rid of what must've been driving him insane.

so now I have an ointment for his eye and the vet's word that the bleeding in his mouth will stop... now I'm just wondering how long he'll be hiding in the storage space behind the bed and if he'll ever cuddle with me again.

Lonely.... I'm so lonely... I have no-bodyyyyy for my owwwnnN!!!

had that song stuck in my head all day.

I have a new baby. She's adorable and looks like an alien. She's got the sweetest temperament, and loves to cuddle. Her transition is going really well, she latched on to me within the first half hour or so.

The down side of this lovely angel baby at work? it makes me want my own that much more.

Bear/Pea/the hubby isn't ready.. which I understand. Financially we're not exactly set up to have a baby right now. I completely get that he's not ready, and deep down I know that WE aren't ready.. but I want one.

I'm glad I didn't write a few days ago. I had one of those everything-goes-wrong-all-at-once kind of days and I'm sure the post would have been massive and very negative. Trying to stay positive because everything just goes smoother when I do.

I have to buy a dress. now, this may not seem like a tremendous task to most women.. but I am definitely not like most women. I hate dresses or skirts, I don't like to dress up. I wear mostly black and nothing I own is suitable to go to a wedding in.
*sigh* I hate shopping :o(

sooo...

not too much has happened. I recovered from my surgery, obviously.

I'm getting a bit panicked about planning this wedding.
Venue, check
Dress, check.
officiant, check.
bridesmaids dress, check
flower girls dresses picked out, check
bouquet bought, check
invitations bought, check (still need to do 'em though.)

so why the hell am I so panicked? I have NO BLOODY CLUE.

This weekend I'll go with my seester and mum and measure stuff out at the venue, come up with some decorating ideas and such, and hopefully ease some of this anxiety.

I just found my sister's blog. I haven't read anything I didn't already know, but it's still sort of neat.
oh, and I made this blog public. I wonder if anyone will ever read it.

Everything at work is going great. I love my boss, we'll just call her Boss. She is a hell of a lot like me, and in all the ways that make it easy to get along with her, not any of those things about me that I can't stand. we agree on just about everything, and our philosophy about our job meshes perfectly. unfortunately, she is only covering a maternity leave.. and so in December, I'm going to have to get used to someone new and lose who has become a very good friend.

I think that's the point that we'll start looking for places north of the city. if I have to start over with a new boss, i might as well start looking for a whole new job since I want to move anyway right?

*sigh* eventually, I'll get good at writing

I always forget that my blog is even here. Then one day I remember, come and write a bit.. and forget for another year.

I'll try to remember, and at least update it every few months. That I can promise.. any more and I'd just end up breaking it.

So last I wrote, I had two jobs (left), I ended up quitting one. I was splitting my time ineffectively and was exhausted. I wasn't doing my best at either job and so I chose my dream job/career with decent pay, and a great working environment over the wicked benefits and.. oh.. right, that was the only up side to that one. Anyway, it all worked out. I've been at my dream job for almost a year now and it's still my dream job.

I moved into my bigger, better, private-r place, and a few months late, bear moved in with me. It's awesome living here, and with him :o) We are geeks, we have a menu laminated on the fridge and we actually stick to it. I'm still trying to teach him some chores but he's a quick learner.

I'm home from work for two weeks (not really by choice)
I had surgery last week, and I'm on day 6 of my recovery. I feel like I could kill someone it's so painful. I can't sleep for longer than the duration of my pain meds, and every time I try I wake up writhing. I just want the pain to end!

Since I'm here for the rest of this week and some of the next, I'll likely write again.

happy thoughts.. no really!

I quit my full time job! .. I know, I know, I was thrilled when I got it, but over the past few months, I've realized just how controlling and well.. psychotic, my boss is. She is constantly staring over our shoulders. raising her voice to the point of yelling at both her staff (me included) and the clients. It's ridiculous the way she treats people! also, there are significant troubles with the physical building.. that she continues to overlook, blaming others, and refusing to do anything about.

so I'm done. Gave my notice, and I'm out of there next week... thank god. I got a new job, in the same field (yay!) working for someone I've known my entire life (double yay!!) and I'm really looking forward to it! I just can't wait. Downside you ask? I have to wear a uniform.. upside(s)? more pay, better hours, consistent hours, more freedom, more responsibility, less clients.. so I get a much more intimate and better relationship with my clients... basically I'm just really happy.

I'm engaged ( I don't remember if I mentioned that)... as of a few months ago! my ring is gorgeous and oh so sparkly... it catches the moonlight and my eyes can't tear away... I love him.

my financial situation is looking up, got my debt all paid off, and now I'm even saving some money! it's an awesome and very liberating feeling.

basically, I'm just really happy... I have my Bear, I have two jobs, I am going to be moving shortly, into a better place... everything is finally.. FINALLY... coming together.

Does Pyra Live?

My online persona has been collecting dust as of late. I rarely game anymore which I'm actually quite upset about. Gaming is an escape for me but as I don't have the time, I haven't been escaping -- forcing me to face reality at all times, and despise alot of it. I still like my job, I love the kids but my supervisor and the overall atmosphere because of the way she treats some of the staff is just not good. She likes to pick on certain people, and while its difficult to watch, I just can't help being relieved that it's not me on that particular day. Some of my coworkers are actually on the verge of quitting, which is just sad, that should never be the case. ever.
