So I got most of my Christmas shopping done today. Thank God. I believe this was my last trip to the mall until the holidays are OVER because I don't want to deal with the morons. Here's the list of awesomeness that I got for people:
Mom and Dad-this show they used to watch a long time ago, kind of like Law and Order SVU and stuff. In fact, SVU kind of stemmed from this show I think. It has a few of the same characters. Granted, it's just seasons 1 and 2, but whatever, doesn't matter. They'll like it.
Ashley-Umma Gumma. It's a Pink Floyd cd. She wants it, doesn't have it, and I spent probably too much on it, but whatever. If she likes it, that's grand.
Lisa-a really pretty tealight/potpourri thingy. She's into girly shit like that.
Steve-kind of spent a lot on him. 1)because he got me my laptop and 2) I love him with all my heart, plus his birthday is on the 20th. So I got him a DS Lite and two games for it: Super Mario 64 and Yoshi's Island. Definitely giving it to him tonight though, because I kind of can't wait to give it to him.
Tracey-a Wizard of Oz snuggie and it will be lots of gift cards once I can afford them, probably by tomorrow when my check gets deposited. She always ends up getting me so much stuff and I feel really bad about it, so maybe this year I'll end up spending as much as she does on me. We shall see.
I was looking around the mall and I see just how commercialized the holiday has become. I mean, you see it year after year and it kind of makes you wonder about people. Five years ago, my family was homeless on Christmas and it really taught me the true meaning for the holiday, to spend time with family and all that jazz. I always think about it this time of year, and also I keep the families in the same situation in my prayers. Right now, we're lucky we have a place to live. My dad is out of work, my mom is doing her bum thing, hasn't held down a real job in years, and I couldn't care less about presents or anything. I just want to be able to spend time with my family and friends, laughing and enjoying time together. I don't care about gifts. None of that matters to me.
That's all I'm going to say. I have wrapping I'd like to do before my sister gets home from her dentist appointment. :)

One of my college friends just got engaged. I let out a big "awww" when I found that one out. I should probably pay some bills, then get ready to get the bus to the mall. My dad wants to bring me but I don't want him doing me any favors.
I'm staying at Steve's tonight and we're going to spend tomorrow together. I'm pretty excited for that. I love every moment I spend with him. I really believe we belong with each other. :)
Sorry I haven't been posting much. I don't have too much to say lately, but I do read my friend page, so I know what you all are up to.

I wish I knew what was wrong with me so I could fix it. Stupid body.
I have to go Christmas shopping again tomorrow. Dammit.

Pajama time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My stomach is killing me. :-( Why can't I get a break? At least the swelling in my tonsils has gone down substantially.

Ed (3:30 AM):Drunk text?
Me (4:30 AM): You need to delete my number and move on from me. Its been almost a year. If you delete it God knows you will not remember it. Do yourself that favor.
Throat is feeling slightly better at this point. Then again, it's been doing that for the past few days.

I can't decide which is worse: the miserable sore throat or the crippling pain in my abdomen and the nausea. I'm willing myself not to throw up for the simple fact that I just took my medicine and I only take it once a day so throwing up now would defeat the purpose of the pills, plus it would be hell on my already excruciating throat.
My sister and mom are screaming at each other and all I want is to sleep. I had work at four and I feel like such shit.

I have the world's best boyfriend. He took me out for ice cream after work because I'm sick, even though I gave him fair warning that I would probably be really crabby. Kind of was, but he never fails to put a smile on my face. I love you Steve.

I feel so sick. Too bad I have to work all day.

Sick. Yuppers. I did manage to get a muffin in me, but I have a wicked headache and my body feels gross and feverish. I don't think I'll be working for my full day today. I just need to go see a doctor. I kind of just want to get my tonsils taken out so I don't have to put up with sore throats all the time, but they probably won't do it since tonsils are so important in the immune system.

Tonsillitis for the second time this year? Sounds like a wonderful fucking plan. Can I just hide in my bed til it all goes away?

I'm freezing. I have a bunch of blankets on and I'm still cold. I'm back to having no appetite and I have a bad sore throat and headache, probably because I haven't been able to sleep well. All I ate today was a cup of peaches and then a brownie when I came home from work because they looked tempting.
I went in the gym and dead lifted 165 pounds last night. When I first went in the gym, it was only 65, but that may have been only because I was learning, but I know for sure I could have never done 165 when I first started. I really gotta start getting in there more, but it's hard because I tend to not have energy to go in. But I always seem to do alright once I get in and start warming up and stuff, so the lack of energy is no excuse. I'm going to try this program that Steve does I think, called the 5-3-1. I'll just see how well it goes. None of the people that go in there come much anymore, so wouldn't want him to get bored, right? :) I love Steve so much. There's nothing I could think of that would make my feelings for him change unless he did something so terrible to me, but really, he's not capable of such a thing. He's the sweetest, most loving guy in the world.
Work was alright today. I guess Cindy's been talking shit about me too, which is fine by me. I go to work, bust my ass and come home. Let them talk. We had inventory today. Probably failed. That's not my problem. Keep failing and maybe they'll get rid of Melissa or someone. Anyone but Mark. He's the only decent manager we have.

O Holy Night-SNC |

I went to the mall today and met up with Lisa (Steve's mom) and Kim, this woman who also works with us. I bought Steve's DS and also Tracey's Wizard of Oz snuggie, and though there were plenty of things I wanted, I refrained. Good girl. Even though they had Saved by the Bell, two seasons in a package for $21.99 and they had buy one get one free stickers on them. I'm an idiot though, so of course I didn't pick it up. Dammit.
My head feels all weird and sinus infection-like, but I'm not stuffy. I just feel pressure in my head and I'm dizzy. Meh. I got my Straight No Chaser cd today though, so amazing!!! I ordered it off Zoompanel since I had the points. Trying to save up for the othe cd of theirs. I friggin LOVE acapella....*sigh* Again, kind of makes me wish I didn't have to give up singing, really singing. This morning I was belting out O Holy Night in the shower, not caring who heard me, and I still have it in me I think. That's one of my favorite songs to sing anyway. But......everyone thinks I can't sing because I'm too shy to actually do it in front of people now. :)

Sandy and I agree that our store will fail inventory miserably on Wednesday. Pretty pathetic...She and I walked the store for missing tags today which is pretty much the biggest time comsuming thing that we can do for our department if it's done right. She told me she thinks that Cindy is just trying to be like me with my stomach issues for attention, though I have no clue why anyone would want these problems. In general, it's pretty horrible, but I do have a little appetite sometimes now which is good. I was freezing in work all day, and also really dizzy, and now my throat is starting to hurt again.
Called the rheumatologist again to see about my test results and since I actually spoke to the receptionist, I'm hoping I hear from them. I may go to the mall tomorrow just to pick up Steve's DS. I feel bad that I have no money to spend on anyone, but my family will just have to get over it. I can't help that I'm the only person in my house with a job and I think my health comes before anyone else, so oh well.
That's all...:)

Off to another fun filled day at Stop and Shop. Woohoo!!! Paper tag crazy today since we have inventory in two days, which we will likely fail.

Snuggled on my bed with my Snuggie and water...does it really get any better than this? So the Patriots lost today...bummer. As much as I love football, I'm just too tired and distracted to keep up with it right now. The Patriots are kind of sucking this year anyway, though not as badly as the Giants...ha ha ha.
I ended up pushing carts only until about 3:30 today and because I wore so many clothes, I was pretty comfortable. But then I came inside and was freezing, which is just one thing leading me to believe I'm getting sick. My body is so confused. You can definitely tell that I was pushing carts today, my elbows are all swollen. Fun.
I'm making the attempt to eat more, even when I'm not hungry, because I don't want to get too sick. I've already been through the almost death thing a few times with this digestive problem and I really don't feel like going through it all again, so I'm working hard to try eating and staying positive. It's a lot of work but I'm sure I can manage. :)
So today was insane, which makes sense since Christmas is less than three weeks away. Sheesh. So not ready for it...I did carts for a while, and we kept running out. Jim and I tried to keep up as well as we could but it was literally impossible. We were so busy. Then I went inside, took my break, and went onto a register the last two hours. I can't wait to get my own safety vest though. The ones we have all stink like fucking body odor and boys who don't shower. I was freaking out touching them, trying to find a decent one. So the day the vests come in, I'm hiding one away in my locker. Eww I get all creeped out just thinking about it...Gross!! Leslie kept bitching because we didn't have enough carts and Brandon was telling me not to stress out about it. It's not like we weren't busting our asses trying to get them inside. But as soon as we brought in a whole bunch, they were gone. *sigh* I'm exhausted.

I'm the luckiest person in the world to have the best friend that I do. We hung out last night and she slept over, so we went out to dinner and then came back to my house. We worked on Steve's Christmas present :) then my sister showed us this anime porn game, actually a whole bunch of them, and since we were both so tired, it was hilarious and gross all at once.
I still feel like I'm getting a cold. My throat is sore and scratchy and I feel it in my lungs too, and I'm pushing carts for five hours today. Swell. But Tracey gave me a Patriots
Snuggie and it's the most amazingly warm thing in the world. <3

Somehow he makes it all okay. The pain, exhaustion, dizziness, and everything else going on would be totally overwhelming if it weren't for Steve. I told him today that if I didn't have him, I'd end up spending most of my time in bed because I would have no reason to be up. He puts a smile on my face no matter how bad everything else is. I would be the luckiest woman in the world if we were together forever.
