totha.

a little update on things for you all.

b. he is doing well on his new meds, he is much happier with the new rx. none of those other issues, now he only has to combat being tired, but he's discovered the beauty of earl grey at 2 p.m.

school. this semester is nearing the end, thank goodness! i passed my last stats test with a b, giving me an overall b in the class, so that is one less final i have to take. i'm done with my tech writing class too, no final there either. only have to finish up my research paper on "the benefits of harm reduction and legalizing drugs" and a final in that class. and then a final in my understanding child abuse and neglect class - oh - the paper i did for that class "Who is responsible for child abuse and neglect in each of its forms and how can each cause potentially be prevented and treated?" - well apparently the prof was so impressed by it he asked to publish it for the class (it's an on-line course) and he asked to pass if he could pass it to some of his colleagues and at upcoming child abuse prevention conventions. needless to say, i'm elated at the prospect of "the powers that be" reading this paper. hey, sometimes you have to toot your own horn!

work. well, nothing has changed here. in fact, it keeps getting worse. it's a horrible thing to have worked with someone for so long and feel such contempt for that person. and to never know if and when someone is telling the truth. i'm desperate to find another job. so if you know of anything, send them my way!

friends. my friends keep inspiring me. many of them have had some amazing things happen as of late - new house for instance, new job/internship, being amazing moms. i only wish i could see you all more.

  2. I'm so happy that this semester is almost done for you and that you don't have to take that Stats final! Woo-hoo!

    And - freaking awesome about the child abuse paper. That's a great accomplishment. I want to read your magical paper.

    I miss you a lot. Hang out soon. Very much needed.

  3. Yay, glad B is doing better! And hip hip hooray for less finals and awesome papers! Oh man, the job thing, ugh. So sorry. This is no way to feel after your loyalty for so many years. If anything it probably is making you question commitment to jobs and how much to give to a job versus the other areas of your life. And why do we have to feel guilty for that? Everyone I know wants to do good at their job, to succeed, to be recognized. It seems like it would be so much easier to turn off the commitment factor and just not care, than to feel betrayed like this. But its not easy. I hope that things change for the better, and soon!

  4. so i'm discovering all the blogs that you ladies have and i have signed up on this site (although not sure if i'll be starting a blog of my own). i've been wanting to call you about b, but not sure if i should or not. since you're blogging about it, i'm sensing it's okay to mention. if you need anything, please let me know. i'll be off in a month, so any rides to/from work or anything like that...just ask. glad your semester is almost over. i definitely know that feeling!
