Scored a free Sirius satellite radio. David’s brother’s girlfriend wasn’t using hers and the subscription is paid for lifetime! Decided it’s probably best if I get a new car once I start working. My ignition nearly broke, and it’s at the point where it’s not really smart to put a lot of money into it. Things like this keep happening, so I guess I’ll just bite the bullet and get a new little fuel efficient car. Returned home and was reunited with Cleo. I celebrated by taking her to see her friends Eddie and Sydney at David’s house. She also got a cow hoof to take home, which my roommate isn’t too pleased about because it smells pretty bad. Didn’t…

another roach encounter

April 16, 2008

There was a roach in the bathroom last night, at least I’m pretty sure it was a roach. I wasn’t sure at first because its wings were sticking out from its body AS IF IT HAD JUST FINISHED FLYING. The fact that roaches can fly is something that I have tried desperately to suppress deep inside my brain. Recalling it brings to mind nothing but visions of hideous things flying directly toward my face. I shudder just thinking about it. Actually just the word roach grosses me out. Ew. I will not be using it again. So when I saw it, the first thing I did was run to the kitchen to search for some Raid. Raid is pretty much…

After a few pages I began to doze so I put the book down and closed my eyes. When David came home a little while later we got our things together and drove over to his house. Once there we just relaxed a bit more before we tried to be productive. Then…

office drama

February 13, 2008

This was the big drama that unfolded in the office last week. So classic. These are actual, real-life e-mails that I will reproduce for you here, although the names have been changed to protect the innocent. ~~~ From: Jennifer K. To: All Subject: SMELL IN LADIES RESTROOM ON FIFTH FLOOR. For the past week, I have noticed a STRONG odor in our ladies room – it reminds me of Lysol disinfectant. It is so strong, that it makes me nauseous while in the restroom. I called the office downstairs (that takes care of our building), and they said that they do not use Lysol, and nothing new or different has been used to clean our restroom. My big question is:…

bad and good

January 23, 2008

The bad: >The aforementioned friendship troubles. No updates there yet. >The relay team that I’m supposed to be in charge of is falling apart. >Finding time to fit in class, work, clinical, studying, soccer games, book club, applying for jobs, running, and relationships. The good: >I love David, and he loves me. Our one-year anniversary is on Sunday. >Being a nurse is great, and so is my clinical in the surgical ICU. >Things to look forward to: anniversary, birthday, Over the Rhine concert, Valentine’s Day. >Cleo is the best dog ever, and I am her favorite person of all. Just a quick update because I don’t have much time this week.
