Exams over, stress still not gone...

So Craig is living with us now. Ugh. The thing that bothered me the most though was that Daniel made the decision with his whole family without asking what I thought. I was soooo pissed! He told me on the way to the grocery store and I just lost it in the parking lot when we got there. I don't want to re-live the whole thing, but I let him have it good. It actually hasn't been that bad... considering he's an 18 year old boy. The biggest complaint I have really is that he forgets to lock the back door all the time. I know, it could be much worse, so if that's all I have to complain about, it's not too bad. He's fun to talk to and has interesting stories and we get along just fine. It's just the thought of "how long will he be here" that drives me nuts. I have to plan EVERYTHING I do, so to not know what's going on drives me nuts. He's pretty good about doing the dishes though, and taking out the trash, so that's a plus, haha.

I'm supposed to be going to Daniel's family Christmas party, but I just don't want to go. I worked 6pm-10pm today and I'm tired and don't want to deal with his whole family really. It's just a big drunk mess anyway. I haven't texted him, I'm just going to pretend I forgot or something. His family is fucking huge! I can never remember everyone's name, and there's always new boyfriend/girlfriends around to get to know. They all live around here too. I really hope Daniel watches his alcohol intake too... he needs to be setting a good example for Craig. Craig's been going to AA meetings and his outpatient treatment every day. Outpatient is Mon, Wed, Thurs and he goes to AA the other 4 days. He's fun to mess with... he loves when I make jokes about hepatitis C, and they're awful! Any other person would take a huge offense to them, but I know I can do that with him. He told this story, he said he went to a party and was on the toilet and passed out, when he woke up he was face down on the bathroom floor, and right next to him was a used tampon! He got up but was dizzy, lost his balance and stepped right on it... I cut him off and said, "be careful, that's how you get hep C." He lost it! He was laughing his ass off. He told us that because he needed money for his drugs but didn't have a job that he started pimping girls! I was shocked! I said not to put that shit on your resume and he almost died laughing. That stuff is funny... I have a good one next time he starts talking about girls, I just have to get the right timing on it and make sure Daniel is there to hear it too... he'll enjoy it. I'm going to tell him if he's going to sleep with someone to make sure he wraps up his hep C injector. I'm sure he'll crack up at that one.

Exams are over!!! I got an A and two B's so far... just waiting on the grades for the microbiology exam I took yesterday. He said he'd have the grades up by yesterday or today, but knowing him it'll take a lot longer. He says he'll have stuff done and it always takes him twice as long. It's a big class and he has lots to calculate out, so it's not a biggy. Grades are due by Tues morning, so I know I'll have them by then. 

Well, I think I've killed enough time on here... time to text Daniel and tell him I just got home from work and I'm too tired to come over. I'm going to see his immediate family around Christmas anyway, so that's the important thing to go to.

Finally, I can breathe!

OMG, it's been a while since I posted, sorry... I got called out, haha. I had so much school work it was insane! If I wasn't studying I was either sleeping or cleaning. I have a mini break until finals now, but the Mid-terms almost killed me.

So I fell off the healthy eating wagon. I don't really know what happened, but it did, and I'm over it and waiting until after the holidays. Too much good food around this time to be eating healthy! Haha. I started my Christmas baking the other day. I made chocolate chip cookies for Daniel and Oatmeal, orange and cranberry cookies for me! They are so yummy! Instead of using brown sugar, I used Splenda brown sugar, so that makes it a little better I guess. I have the best recipe for peppermint brownies I can't wait to make, plus of course, magic bars. I have to find my Nana's recipe for molasses sugar cookies too!

I'm sitting in microbiology class right now. I felt like I needed to come to the class because I did so bad on the last exam. How do you go from a 91% on the first test, 80% on the second to 69% on the third!? I miss the Canadian grading system too... in the US, a 90%+ is an A, 80%+ is a B, etc. It sucks!

This fall weather is freaking me out! We went from sunny and 72f yesterday, to 61f and rainy today and it's supposed to be 42f tomorrow... weird. It feels like spring today.

I went on my business trip to DC/Virginia since my last post. OMG, I hate flying, I used to be really good at it, but just hate it now. It was a direct flight there, so that was nice. I never eat anything the day I fly until I get to where I'm going... I'm always scared it's going to make me feel sick and I'll be trapped throwing up in my seat. I took a valium and it helped me relax. When we got to the DC airport we got a cab and went to the hotel. It was right beside a HUGE mall so we decided to go eat dinner there and do some shopping. They had a shuttle to the mall too, which was great because it was freezing and nasty out. I got a caesar salad and mushroom ravioli from Brio and it was GOOOOOD. We went shopping for a bit and then I started to feel rumbles in my belly. I thought it was just because I was digesting, it had been a long while since I'd eaten anything. Then all of a sudden it hit me and I needed a bathroom ASAP! That salad went straight through me, it didn't pass go and it didn't collect $200... it just wanted OUT! I have the digestive system of a 90 year old woman, I swear! So I was in there while Joanna (my co-worker and travel buddy) waited for me in the store we were in (Lord and Taylor, they have nice bathrooms). We went to another store and then it hit me again... I just felt awful! This time I took off to Bloomingdale's... ugh. I ended up asking Joanna if we could go back to the hotel and felt so bad to have to ask her to do that. The shuttle was only about a 5 minute wait. The hotel we were at had a little store, so I went there are got a bottle of Pepto and ate 2 pills every 30 mins for an hour and a half. It was just horrible! I was fine for the rest of the trip though. It was heavy food on an empty stomach plus the stress of travelling.

Class is almost over, so I better wrap this up. I'll be better about updating, I promise :)

I Hate Microbiology!

Ugh, I just got out of my microbiology practical exam and it was rough. I knew I wasn't going to do well, so it's not like it was a surprise or anything. I'm still on track with my diet. I think my body is in shock and stopped losing weight because I wasn't eating enough. That tends to happen and they say that all the time on the Biggest Loser if someone stops losing. I'm not going wild or anything, but just adding a few hundred calories more a day. Usually one more snack or something.

It was my and Daniel's anniversary on Wednesday and we went out for dinner to this amazing Indian restaurant. I've never had Indian food before and never tried curry, so I was a little worried I would hate it but I LOVED it!!! It was so good, I'm going to have to go there again for sure. Daniel even liked it, well, he liked what he got, he found out he hates curry. He said he, "Hates anything that has warm yogurt in it." Ok, whatever, more for me :) We don't really do presents, but Daniel got me a champagne glass set and a huge bottle of champagne for us to share. We killed the whole bottle... I love champagne :)

Yesterday I was supposed to go to work from 10-5, but I called off. They tried to get me to call someone to replace my shift, but then they saw anyone who was able to replace my shift was already working, so they just moaned and groaned and I put on my best fake sick voice. It was easy since I was still lying in bed half asleep. I had to study! I did study for this stupid exam, and I'll be happy if I can break 70% on it! Blah! I have an exam in the lecture class Wednesday and a Paper due Friday, which I haven't even started on. I think I'll be OK for it now though, studying for the lab practical made me understand more about what I have to write. I have to sit through lecture now and pretend to listen. I have my computer, so I'll probably just study for the exam. I have to work today 3-9, but I'm on the makeup side, so that should make it go faster. When I'm working skincare it goes so slowww... Then I'm off this weekend! I have a wedding to go to tomorrow. You know you're starting to get old when you are going to a wedding as a friend of the brides MOM! Hahahaha... it's a former co-worker from Dillard's. It should be fun, and fancy, I'm excited. I don't really have anything good to wear though. It's supposed to be really nice, 63 and mostly sunny. I'll probably dig out my old go to wedding dress that I wore to 2 weddings 3 years ago. I got my period this morning, so that sucks... I hope I don't have cramps tomorrow. They're so much better now because I'm back on the pill though.

I better get off to class.
