Such is life

This past week and a half or so has been full of excitement!  Or, in other words, I've been extremely more busy than normal, which is why no update as of recent.

First of all, this month is the last month I'll be working a full time schedule, since the shelter site I have been working graveyard shift at is closing as of the 31st.  Sucks that I won't have a steady income, but I've already had several interviews at different places, and hopefully someone bites soon, or I may have to resort to selling my body parts on the black market. 

Anyone need a slightly used kidney?

I've been shirking my responsibilities at school by not keeping up on my homework.  Why?  I don't know, maybe because I am choosing sleep over study?  Maybe?  So the last night or so I have been in a mad dash to try and make some of the homework up, not to mention study for two quizzes that are due online in two days.  But it'll happen, I'm not worried about that.

Lastly, I don't want to say it, but my ideas and creative flow has taken a flop.  Simply because I am topsy turvy with my schedule right now and just a little more than stressed out.  I mean, in between everything that's happening, I have to try and find another job, do interviews, etc.  On top of all this, the car has decided it's going to act up. 

::sigh::

But that's okay...

On the home front, Katie has an appointment with an optometrist on Monday to have an exam done for glasses.  She's been begging for glasses forever, so dad bought her some "fake" ones with glass lenses to get her used to them...let's just say her initial excitement about glasses has worn off and is now replaced with the fear of "you mean I have to wear these all the time?"  Yeah kiddo, that's pretty much the drill...::hugs::

Along with the glasses appointment, we have had to schedule an appointment with a dermatologist for Katie.  Without getting too scary, I'll try to explain.  Katie has had a mole on her tummy since she was born, over the past year or so the mole has gotten bigger, darker, changed shape and is now raised quite a bit.  Katie also says it hurts on occasion.  So, naturally, her pediatrician is concerned that it may be melanoma and wants to possibly have a biopsy done to rule out any cancer possibility.  We're all pretty scared, but taking it in stride.  Skin cancer does run on my side of the family, so it's concerning to hear that my daughter has to go through this.  We're praying for the best.

So, brief update done, better get back to hitting these books...
