i'm back! i don't actually know where i went but i wasn't here so i must have gone somewhere, right? actually i wish i had some great excuse for this long absence but in all all honesty i don't. i just don't manage time well.
i have been working a bit much lately and i when i get home all i want to do is curl up with my Kozy Shack Original Rice Pudding and pray there's an episode of House Hunters International on the tv.
so since posting last i have A) celebrated the Risen Christ B) got a second job at Athropologie and C) fixed my toilet.
Easter was good, i went to the vigil with my friends and there were 2 people being brought into the church that night and it was one of those moments in life when you could literally their lives change entirely and completely, like when the baptismal water hit their heads there was this huge weight lifted and everyone was so happy. it was really beautiful. i was actually scheduled to work Easter Sunday however after vigil i came back and celebrated a little with my friends and i just couldn't go in, i have occasional bouts of insomnia and i had been in the middle of these spells the past few days so i ended up calling in "sick" due to lack of sleep. it usually happens when i have to flip-flop between days and night shifts or i have been working a lot, i just get to the point where i'm so tired i can't even sleep. but it did make me so happy to have Easter off. and i wasn't alone, so it was a good day.
the job though, hmm. not a big fan of working retail. it does make me appreciate my career choice and it only confirms in my heart that i was truly called to be a nurse. i go to work happier knowing that i have an awesome job that makes me so happy. but i do dread the days when i have to go into work at Anthropologie, i just hate the whole flakiness of it all, people saying "oh you look adorable in those pants" when secretly i'm thinking "oh you look horrendous and you need to buy at least 5 sizes bigger to even hope to look non grotesque" my policy is if i can't honestly say that they look good in a piece of clothing then i comment on the color choice or the actual article of clothing and pray that they don't ask me more specific questions. i would recommend remembering this story next time you go to a store and ask the salesperson there if an outfit looks good on you! they do not have your best interest at heart, they are only trying to make money! if you think a shirt makes you look pregnant chances are it does so don't buy it!!! especially if that maternity looking non-maternity shirt costs $98!!!
and for those of you keeping tabs on this story, i got my toilet fixed today! i just flush it every time i see it now because i can. it's amazing how long i actually lived with it broken, i'd gotten so used to it i didn't even remember how convenient it was before when it worked and all i had to do was push down on the handle and voila! it flushed. i guess i should clarify that when it broke, the chain broke, so that meant reaching into the back of the toilet to lift the little thingy to manually flush it every time. not fun.
and last but not least Happy Birthday Kelly!
it was actually yesterday but because i'm a loser i didn't post anything yesterday. i slept most of the day, waking up at noon and then laying out in the sun for a while before i took a nap, so you can imagine i had very little time free to do something like post on my blog. in my defense it was my first day off in many days and i needed it. however all is fixed now, i have posted, i have called, and i have a flushing toilet.
