I'm sick of my dead end job that pays nothing. I wish I hadn't taken a whole year off of school, but I probably need it. I called my old school yesterday and inquired about going into Comm Dis, I would have to get a new BS, but it would only take me two semesters, and then it's two years for my masters. I guess I could look into starting in Jan, but I don't know if I'll be financially set by then, so maybe I should shoot for the summer semester. I also called some elementary schools in my area to see if I could follow a speech therapist around for a week. I already heard back from one and she said that she would love the company, but she has to check with her supervisors.
I've quit drinking, which is good for me, and I'm finally seeing the doc that I want, so things are looking up, I'm just trying to figure out how I'm going to support myself during school, and keep my insurance. I', not stressing though, I'm sure it will all come together in the end.

So I realised that I only have enough Seroquil to last to tomorrow, and I don't see my new doc till the 24. So I called the county, which is where my old doc works, and I was told that a message was left for her, but she may not give me a script because I'm no longer her patient, is that fucked up or what? So I may have to go cold turkey, while in jail, God help me. Can you imagine being up for a couple nights (which always seems to happen to me when going off a script) in a jail cell? I hope I'm freaking out about nothing and the doc gives me three more weeks, that's all I need.
I also finally found my friend that was suppossed to drive me to and from work while I'm in jail. She moved, and decided that she wouldn't be able to see her boyfriend enough (even though she lives with him), and just neglected to call me. I begged, I offered to pay her more money, I told her I could loose my job, but she didn't care. I wish she would have told me like a week ago, because now I'm stuck with a couple days, and I'll probably end up with my mom, and if I'm comming off Seroquil, and have to depend on my mother each day....Lord help us both.
Every day I ask myself if it's worth it all. Life is such a struggle and I hate it.

So the Seroquil is not going so great, I haven't even been on 600 mg for two weeks and already I can't sleep again. I won't be able to do anything about it till I'm out of jail, so I guess I'll just have to deal with it.
Every year I forget to take my allergy meds, and then when the season changes I get sick. So much fluid in my head starts a head cold, which turns into an ear infection, which turns into Tonsillitis, which can become strep throat. So I think I avoided the worst of it by taking lots of vitamin E, suddafed, allergie meds, and some left over antibiotics, along with a few onions (if you warm up an onion and cut out the heart and stick it in your ear, it may cure the ear infection). So I was very happy because this happened just in time for the last day of the Renaissance Festival, which I'm a huge fan of. When I went this weekend ( I have a seasons pass and go pretty much every weekend it runs) I put some glitter on, you know the loose kind that you get at the craft store. When I sprinkled some on me I figured I must have got some in my eye because it started to itch. Nope, it was really because I'm cheap and wore my contacts for too many days, so my head cold is gone, but my eye is killing me. If it's not one thing it's another.
I really like my new place, and I'm loving having a garage.
So I keep getting free food at Subway. I stopped by one on my way home from the Ren fare and I wrote out a check only to be informed that they don't accept checks, so he gave my sub to me :) Then I went to one for lunch today and asked for double cheese because the guy up in Shakopee said it came with that sub, only to be informed that this Subway no longer offers that, but they'd give it to gratis today :) I love free food, some how it just seems to taste better :) Although I doubt this applies to the food I'll be getting in jail. Only three more free days. I'm going to try not to sit at home the whole time.

why is it that everytime I move I end up losing wierd things? This time I seem to have lost my silver ware. I went back and looked in all the spot where my things were at and no silver ware. This happens everytime move, and I've moved close to 40 times now, so you'd think I would have learned not to miss place things. *sigh* well at least it wasn't anything I was attached to.
I only have the one car load left till I have everything in my new place, but I'm not moved in, i.e. I'm not organized, I have boxes and things just sitting all over.
I can't beleive this apartment is only $385. It has decent sized rooms with three huge walk in closets, so there's lots of storage place, plus a relatively large garage. I guess this is one of the perks to living in no mans land, WI :)

I'm almost done moving in. I love my new place, and I'm excited to live alone again. I'll only be able to stay there for one week before I'm off to jail for 15 days for my 2nd DUI. I've never been to jail, but I figure that I can handle anyhting for two weeks, and I'll have work release.
I picked up two new clints at work, didn't really want to, but now I have my own health insurance, and a little extra cash, so I guess it's alright.
I was just upped to 600mg of Seroquil, and that really seems to be working for me. I'm pretty level and sleeping well. I hope it lasts because I build up tolerance to drugs fairly easily. Seroquil is supposed to work better the longer you take it though, unlike other meds I've been on. With my own health insurance I was able to switch back to my old doc instead of the one provided by the county. I'm also trying to get in to see my old therapist as well. I'm determined to be truthfull and open this time around.
I've really been enjoying this nice weather, although I can feel winter right around the corner. *sigh* oh well, what can you do but try to enjoy that too :) maybe thats wishful thinking.

So I've been homeless for the past month because my room mate though that I had something going on with her boyfriend (who also lived with us). Nothing could have been further from my mind. It was all I could do to not be annoyed by him every day. Maybe she saw my efforts to get along with him as me coming onto him.
Whatever, I signed a lease on my own place this week, and I started moving in yesterday. I'm excited to get settled in so that I can sleep on my own bed again instead of on peoples couches. I think living alone will be good for me, so maybe this is the push I needed to take the next step in my life.
