eh, even the broncos were boring :P
I was mostly looking forward to the end of the game to see who had to put ice down their pants.
The firends we hung out with, the guy and a friend of his from childhood make f-d up bets. this year whoever lost had to put ice down their underwear.

Lol, I bet that was priceless to see. At least their bets don't really hurt them even if they're silly.
The Broncos just knew that they came in flashy in 2013 and got their asses whooped, so they went slow and steady this time. Might've been a bit boring, but they didn't want to take any chances against the "can do no wrong" Panther babies.
But anyway, yeah, as you saw on FB I got published! It's not a huge, top rated journal or anything, but it's a big deal. It means I get to put it on resumes and cover letters from now on when submitting to grad schools and employers and other publishers. Super happy about it. Plus, the story was about my grandmother, who was and is super important to me, so I feel so happy to say that the first thing I ever got published was a story about her.

yeah, that is awesoem you got published. it's still something awesoem even if it's not one of those big name publishers.
And even better the type of story it was for. :)
We had a snow storm on Tuesday. Ended up not going to work because we couldn't get too far from our apartment before getting stuck. It was nice. we spent the day together, relaxing, and watch some cool stuff. And we made chicken soup.. A LOT of chicken soup. We're having it for leftover dinner tonight :D
Today we went to work. came home and saw our parking spot was filled. Then we saw no spots open that we could take... Mike had to shovel, with our broken shovel, a bullshit spot just for us to at least park the car. It's not pulled in the whole way and watch...we'll get bitched at by someone or our complex... But it wasn't our fault. People just don't move their cars for the groundscrew to plow spots I guess. Yesterday was different NO ONE could get out.

Yes, I'm happy! Can't believe I get to say that I've been published, now. It's nice when people ask about my writing that I can say, "oh, I actually did something professional with it."
As far as I'm concerned, with apocalyptic snow storms: if you have to park in the middle of the street, it's fair fucking game, because nobody is doing their job and plowing. My college is bad and doesn't plow their lots when it snows, yet still forces us to come to class. Parking is a mess, and sometimes people box other people in and shit. When that happens, I just tell parking services to shove it where the sun don't shine. They caused it, they can deal with it.

I found out that on tuesday both of our places of work were swamped. I found out that our groundcrew at work were having to dig out peoplewho did come and they couldn't keep up.

Lol, well, I'm glad you didn't get caught in it. I hope your works weren't douche canoes, and didn't expect you to come in with all that.
I had to write a little bio about myself today to be included with my published works, and dang is it weird to write about yourself in the third person.

They kind of wanted people to make it in where I work, but they understand and don't expect us to risk our lives.
They couldn't keep up in the parking lot and grounds keeping at work had to get people out of their spots I found out. I also found out they sent people home early so they didn't get stuck.
ack, I wouldn't like doing that. I hate writing about myself to begin with.
wooo family stuff this weekend and getting to deal with some family drama

That's good, that's good. My college is usually like that, but it's more of a "make it in unless you are 102% positive you'll die trying." They actually gave us a snow day a few weeks back and it was like: wtf. Death must've been in the air. XP
I've been doing a lot of nonfiction writing lately, so I've been writing about myself quite a bit, but I still am uncomfortable with it to an extent. I write in 2nd person a lot to depersonalize my writing so I can stomach writing about myself. The third person thing was weird. It was like "Sara is a blah blah blah" and I had to find things to praise about myself to others, and I don't like that because it sounds like bragging. Like, if it's someone I'm close to and they know I'm not being a shit by talking about myself, that's fine, but to write like that about myself for a mass of other people I don't know...it's weird. You have to make sure you're not lying in case anyone ever asks you to prove it. XD
I'm sorry you've got family drama going on. Trust me, I completely understand. Completely. I hope it's not too bad, and if you want to rant about it I'm here.

haven't been on much. been busy with stuff including making it through work.
Hopefully thing are going good with you. :)
Work isn't bad, we finally have our supervisor back and I love knowing who it is finally. Plus she was one of my fave team leads anyway, so I'm happy she's my supervisor. What sucks is now I'm the longest temp there since one girl is leaving at the end of the month because she hasn't been hired on and it's been a year for her.
But, I'm still kicking some butt. :D
Yeah, family drama sucks. Found out the girls that were supposedly our nieces (his brother), turns out they're not his brother's kids. Sothat kind of sucked, but we got over that because we couldn't stand her, and To be honest, it's kind of good for his brother right now, he can focus on getting his life in order and do what he would like to do.
He's joining our DnD group so that will get him out to have some fun.
Found out on Saturday my brother and his wife are divorcing. It's been something coming for awhile, and I'm not surprised.
It's actually the best for them, the kids were even noticing they weren't acting right. I feel a bit bad, but it's not as bad as my cousin's issues.
My cousin who has the 3yr old, his fiance just blew up and left him. Long story short, it's a pain in the butt to get ahold of her, and for the first month of this, she was basically keeping their daughter away from him. And they had to bring it to court. At least my brother and his soon ex-wife actually decided this civilly and they have it all worked out.
My cousin on the other hand, has to go to court to set up the visitation and fight for it.
On a good note, Mike and I are doing well. We have been talking about getting our computers upgraded, and we're finally starting to plan our wedding, which is great :D

It's okay--I'm just glad to hear from you. :) In future, you can talk to me on FB if you want as we both seem to be growing out of old Menewsha.
Things are okay. I got published, I told you that, yeah? Well, now they're having a release party and they want me to read the pieces they're publishing of mine for everyone there. I can't believe it's going to be me up there this time.
I hope you can get that job made perm if you haven't already, you seem to be doing good there. :)
So he didn't know they weren't his kids, I take it? That's not kosher. But, I hope he can get away from her without any kind of alimony bullshit, as he definitely doesn't deserve to pay it after what she's done to him.
Ugh, it sounds like the women in your family are having a bad run of bitchery. XP I guess it's not always the men that pull the asshole moves.
I'm glad you and Mike are doing well. Have you set a date? What kind of stuff are you planning?

Lolol, I've been trying not to scream it at everyone all day. XD
I am so happy! I'd gotten so attached to him last year. I was sitting on the edge of my chair during the whole episode last night and I screamed "YAHOOOOO" at the top of my lungs the second he opened his eyes and danced around for ten minutes.

Same here. I was so excited when I watched it yesterday!
I hope this one guy I talk to about it watched it yesterday. I don't have too many people I talk to about the show. But there's one guy at work I do but he doesn't watch it till Monday evening at the earliest.
I don't know since I wasn't at work yesterday.
My mom messaged me and I read the message after Game of Thrones (didn't notice it till then). My mom fell and went back to the hospital.
She had back surgery on the 11th of April, was outpatient and she went back home day of. My grandmother still wanted mom to help around the place. my mom's doctor's orders were to do nothing, to relax and take care of herself. Get up only to go to the bathroom, quickly grab something from kitchen, etc.
My grandmother only took to heart the part about preventing blood clots- which is done through getting up and doing stuff.
Plus, no one monitored my mom at home, my mom accidentally over did her pain meds.
18th April, my mom is sent up to the ER for over doing the pain meds on accident, spends a week up at the hospital. Last wednesday she was ok to go to a rehab facility to begin the physical therapy.
Well, the place sucked basically. She ended up not having too great of a time there, they f'd up her pain meds, then she started having issues that involved her incision starting to seep a little (build up of fluid now), and started getting a fever.
Sunday she apparently had a fever that the night nurse didn't report, then monday morning she woke up and fell, tried calling for help and according to her, the nurse basically told her to press the button if she needed help and that she was disturbing patients.
I'm not entirely sure about the last bit since it was right when she woke up and she hadn't gotten much sleep. Plus when we were there she was in and out due to the pain meds they gave her.
I almost went to work, I called in 15 min before my shift. we literally got off our exit to get to work when he said how I was quiet and to just say what I want to do. So, we pulled off, called in work, went home, grabbed stuff, changed and left.
we were there from 12.30p-around 5 when they put her up in her room, my gma was there so we left to get food because we only had breakfast.
came back at 6.30 and stayed till almost 9 because my mom was going in and out since she was on the pain meds and needed the sleep.
I have to work today, can't take many days off right now. Plus she's ok today and they'll get stuff sorted and hopefully see what's up. I know there's family going up today.
Sorry for the long ass post. was a long day, I'ms till tired and I did sleep last night.

I don't have anyone to talk about it irl either. XP Pooey. I want to squee over Jon Snow!
It's okay. :) I'm sorry you guys are going through that. I don't really trust doctors anymore and I watch them like a hawk to make sure (to the best of my abilities) that they're doing what they need to do to take care of me or whoever else I know that they're dealing with. Healthcare in the U.S. sucks.
My mom broke her hip back in February and I had the opposite problem you did with your mom. Nobody was telling her to do anything, but she wouldn't stop zipping around at a million miles an hour. I basically had to watch her 24/7 the first week to make sure she wasn't walking anymore than was necessary to avoid the blood clots.

Brandon- guy at work, and I talked about it earlier when I came in.
Yeah, my cousin (who is an EMT), myself, and my mom's cousin (who is an RN) all agree mom needs to report them. I feel bad for my mom. Yesterday basically sucked because she's the parent that barely showed pain and yet here she was in pain, crying and unable to do ANYTHING unassisted.
It sucked horribly.
Work sucked today because family kept texting me. I also was assumed to have been able to do something after work, but we have ONE car, and we work till 8-8.30pm and both work in a freaking call center.
luckily family got better with it.
I know the feeling, I spent the entire month of September in extreme pain because of my gallbladder. they kept telling me shoulder pain, go see a physical therapist, and take these pills, put on these creams, etc.
Finally when I end up looking like I belonged in the Simpson family, THAT'S when they finally go "huh, this is her 4th dr visit and nothing is helping" and draw some blood and figure it out.
yeah, sadly my gma doesn't totally understand, she keeps acting a certain way at the hospital that's basically pissing off my mom.

I mean, it's not like I was that surprised, but I was freaking ecstatic. He's the plotline/character I care about the most now and I was gonna be pissed if he was done for. I mean, what would be the point of the show/series without Jon?
I know how that goes. Both of my parents have never been big on showing emotions--especially distressed ones--so now that I'm older and I've seen that in both of them...it's nerve wracking. You start to realize you're going to have to start being the adult for the adults in your life sometimes.
What I learned in all of my psych classes was that doctors are so used to looking for the obvious things that they easily miss the thing that's really wrong. My mom, for example, had an ulcer that almost killed her before I was born and they just continuously brushed it off like it was cramps until it blew up. I mean, doctors are great. I appreciate the work they do, and the world would be worse without them, but sometimes it seems they fuck up more often than not.

Yeah, and this week was just freaking priceless when he handed Ed his cloak and said "My watch is done"
He technically is no longer bound to that oath, he DIED, he can be all "I do what I want"
Yeah, it was really hard last week knowing how much pain she was in. I missed the worst with Wednesday, thank GOD.
She's fine now. She was moved from a High Fall risk, to a Mod fall risk at the hospital. The hospital my family goes to colour codes you by socks. She went from red socks to yellow. I'm thinking mom's assisted moderate fall risk. Since I know she needs some help with getting up and getting around.
Yeah, mine were all like "oh okei shoulder pain? let's give you MORE meds and some cream that does NOTHING, and an order to go seek PT"
End of sept- I looked like I would have been a Simpson. SO glad that happend I guess. Now I'm all happy and my body doesn't hate me as much. And I've lost a butt load of weight. The tracker on my signature shows what my weight loss had been when I went to Planned Parenthood last month :D

And we're so about to find out that he's a Targaryen <3 I was so excited to see Ned again, even if it wasn't Sean Bean!
I'm glad she's getting better. When my mom broke her hip I know I was constantly scared she was going to fall while I was away at school when she was recovering
I'm so proud of you! It is SO freaking hard to lose weight! What have you been doing? Less junk food?
Also, yes! I'm finally free of college for a good long while unless I decide to go for my masters eventually!

Yep. I fell off the planet for awhile. been busy with life.
yay adulting and employment.
the company finally hired me and I've been in training for the last 2 weeks.
Weight loss- probably the lower fat food I eat, since I did get hired full time, I get an hour lunch so I'll be walking around the building once I get out of training. That and if I eat food that ends up making me sick, it doesn't stay in my body long enough to digest and stay.
If I have to say anything about my experience with master's work... Good idea to wait a little bit to figure out what you'd like to do before overworking yourself. Though you'll do fine. I just got overworked.

Life happens :)
I'm happy you don't have to worry about your job anymore; that's got to be nice having that security.
I've noticed as I've gotten older that eating too much sugar at once makes me sick. Not good in the sense that it makes me feel sick, but good in the sense that now I have a legitimate reason to stay away from sweeter foods.
Yeah, I'm in this weird transition period. I can't get rid of this chronic fear/idea that I have to go back to school next fall. It's been part of my life so long it feels like I'm shirking my responsibilities. I'm trying not to think too hard about master's work right now. I definitely don't think I'm prepared for it, and I just have little to no interest in more schooling right now, to the extent that thinking I have to go back gives me half a panic attack.
I might go back at some point, but, if I do, I want it to be on my terms, doing what I want to do. I also want to feel prepared for it and supported in my doing it. I'm just not in that place right now. Not really sure what place I'm in right now to begin with, so going back right away is not a good idea.
