It started with the sip from a drinking fountain at church and ever since then I have been sick... well okay I'm on the up swing now...but still.
Since a couple of weeks ago it hit me that Christmas was coming.
The dogs at work starting checking in large numbers. The gift list grew. Shifts at work I would never want...became mine. The pets hotel manager and store manager were fired. I've been having issues with my financial aid for school...I'm still not completely certain how that's going to work out. I still haven't got my contract for my apartment for school. problems with Social Security office... but I'm not disabled?... that is correct....family issues...who doesn't have those! So many things getting into the way of going back to school, preparing and teaching my Sunday school class, and going to work. My problems are not even that big. Yet I'm well... having a hard time.
There were a LOT of dogs and cats at work (156). I work over night. I worked Christmas Eve 6pm-6am and again Christmas night 9pm-6am...and Satuurday night 9pm-6am. As much as I want to go to sleep typically when I work over night on Saturdays...I cannot. If I fell alseep I'd miss church and teaching my class with Carmen.
Christmas morning was great though! Carmen's family and I gathered around and opened our presents. Everyone was happy and I got some stuff I wanted. I didn't really know what I wanted this year.... but people AND SANTA guessed right :). a label maker, 4 packs of Monster energy drinks, a utility knife, meteos for my DSi...just to name a few. Everyone liked/has liked so far the gifts I have given them!
I get discouraged easily. With the way my life is here back in Texas it really makes me dread goig back to Idaho. I really want to attend a university... I got in to this one. With luck I may be able to/have the means to transfer to some place else.
me and the Taylors! ^^^
