it's raining...

...a lot. i hate rain during the day, when i actually have to function in it, but tonight it's calming. i'm running on 4 hours of sleep, so that could be a contributing factor for being easily lulled.

last night i woke up with excruciating back pain for the second time in 2 months. last time i went to the emergency center here in waterford and they figured it was just a pulled muscle. this time it hurt all through my right side and i had shooting pains up my chest. so i returned to the center and they gave me a toradol shot, which they had last time, and then sent me home. the physician treated me like a drug addict and didn't even do an exam. i wanted to kick him in the face.

the shot eased the pain in my lower back, but it persisted in my chest. my mom suggested i go to troy beaumont to an actual ER. after an ultrasound, they found gall stones, so i now have to get my gall bladder removed as soon as possible. fun stuff. ugh.

no luck on the job front yet, but i'm praying for this recent interview i had to come through. i should find out tomorrow. think happy thoughts.

and it's already september '08

i haven't written in this thing in forever, but i've been wanting to start again. so today is the day apparently. i'm not feeling very intense today, so this will probably end up being ramblings and recaps more than anything.

i'm now living in waterford with anna in 700 sq ft house that is perfect. i brought home a kitten a little over a month ago and named him coletrane. so that makes 4 cats in total at our residence: cole, my gus, anna's gus (who we call goo-bear to differentiate), and max. i think we've officially passed up the "crazy cat lady' threshold. goo-bear, gus, and cole are snuggled up together on my bed at the moment and i honestly couldn't be happier with my living situation.

jobless at the moment, but that should soon be remedied... if the world would stop crapping on me. i'm planning on returning to wayne for my masters in english lit and then hopefully pursuing a PhD at michigan state. they have a awesome Doctorate of Philosophy program there that specializes in gender issues, which i think would be perfect for me. this will probably take me like 10 years to finish while working full-time, but it's good to have goals, right?

i can't handle the cuteness on my bed right now and have to partake. i'll continue later.
