The 12 day blog withdrawal is officially over. So today I applied for a blog job, and only after doing so did I fail to remember that I don't bother editing, spellchecking, and correcting my errors in my current blog! Wow, when they look at this I'm sure going to look uhnedukayted.
Anyway! My friend is doing well, all things considered. She lost her baby to heaven last week and I think my hormone fits are in direct connection to her situation. That, or this lack of school and job is getting the better of me. Anyone have any suggestions? So far I have the idea to scrapbook, quilt, clean the house to perfection, attempt to find small writing jobs which will pay me enough to buy lunch every day, and I might even take another class in order to keep my brain running!
Here's a good story! (Pregnancy related even!) So upon my doctor's desperate attempt to get me to gain weight, I agreed to see a dietitian. We sat there for an hour going over all the obvious food ideas that I already knew. Then, upon completion of seeing my 'food journal' she suggested the following: "You should increase your calories by your beverages. Since you already drink milk and juice, you should add soda pop to your diet." Umm, really!?!?!? Did you read that!? Yes, my dietitian suggested soda to a pregnant lady! You know, the sugary, caffeinated carbon bubblies that take away from calcium absorption in the bones! Pregnant women are to limit their caffeine intake, sugar is a door opener for gestational diabetes, and the carbonated bubblies eat calcium from my bones! I tell you what! Unless I GET diabetes, I may never step foot into a dietitian's office again!
So, yes, I have not gained the weight they are looking for me to gain. I am trying though still!! I have gained weight though! 13 pounds since the beginning. Baby Beaner is 2 oz. below his necessary weight so I am feeding him more milk and peanut butter. The joys of being a navy housewife with nothing better to do (or required) than to take hand to mouth and stuff face over and over.
Aside from the every day eating frenzy, I work on small tasks. For example, right now I am currently fighting tooth and nail with my school so that, just maybe, I will get my degree this weekend! Yes, that's right, graduation is upon me. However, a $150.30 late fee that they absolutely insist is my fault for tuition, it looms over me like the messenger of death. I am stubborn and upset and absolutely refuse to pay this ridiculous trivial penny ripping scheme. Long story short, the military account that paid for my tuition paid later than should be and I am stuck with the bill. Because I did not certify mail a letter sent back in April, they have no proof the letter was ever sent and therefore, I am a liar and must pay. Lesson: Never trust a company, business, corporation, administration, or the like. You MUST learn that people screw people and there is no longer this thing called forgiveness and mercy. Amen.
See what happens when I don't write for a long time? All the entrapment spews forth and you are left to read the gloriousness of it all.
I do have a positive note though! My sister and brother in law and two nephews came to visit last week. They spent two days at our house and we spent two days camping with them in La Push, Washington, aka Twilight Jacob's werewolf abode. The ocean at La Push is gorgeous. We drove to Cape Flattery, WA, the most northwest point of the United States. Absolutely breathtaking! If I decide not to be lazy later on, I may just post a picture or two of the spectacular views!
Next doctor's appointment: Thursday. Next ultrasound: approximately three weeks. Next snack time: Now. So see you later!
