I was trying to come up with a good title for this blog, but I am completely blank right now. I think I need a little imagination boost.. Since my last post, I haven’t done much at all. School starts back up on August 25th and I am still not planning on taking classes this semester. Why? I need a break from school that’s longer than a 3 month Summer vacation. I still have not been able to find a stable job. I applied at PetSmart PetHotel a week ago and haven’t heard back from them yet, so they’re either not hiring or just taking applications. Either way, I’m still going to call tomorrow and see what’s up. I desperately need a job, and so does Andy. I’m 19 years old and he is 21 and we’re living with my Mother. now, I’m not saying we’re in a terrible spot because my mom’s house is pretty laid back, but I do need to get out on my own feet and I also want a bit more privacy. The funny thing is, one minute my mom discusses the fact that it’s time for us to get out of the house, but then she drags us back in by telling us “you’ll never be able to support yourselves in the real world!” Honestly, nothing is going to happen if that attitude is thrown around. Nothing is going to happen without progress, even if that means making a few mistakes. As soon as Andy and I have a stable job, we’re saving up, at the very least, 3/4ths of each of our paychecks to go in to savings to move out. Hopefully we can accomplish saving up enough for a deposit and a few months of rent by the end of the year.

As for my online life, I took a break from things. I was not really participating in the Quilting Bee as much as I should have committed, including my staff duties. However I’ve tried to catch back up and everything seems okay now. I’m going to try and not let myself fall behind again. I’ve also been playing a lot of Neopets as of late.. almost on the verge of an unhealthy addiction. I’m going to try and limit my computer use to only a few hours a day or so, and my more important online duties (paying bills, eBay, Q*Bee, etc.) will come before anything else.

Recently my hormones have been out of whack and it has definitely taken a toll on my face. I went to the dermatologist yesterday and boy was it the quickest appointment I’ve ever been to. I waited in the waiting room for a total of about 15 minutes and was in a room in no time. As soon as the doctor came in, she looked at my face for a minute and prescribed me Doryx. Thank God this prescription only costs me $25, because I lost my insurance when I turned 19. Anyway, I have to take one pill every morning. Yesterday was my first dose and I’m already suffering from one of the side effects, heartburn. The only thing I can do about it is drink cold water to ease the pain because if I take any kind of antacid pills (especially ones with calcium), it contradicts the medication. Hopefully this will be my one and only side effect, though. The worst thing I saw on the list was the runs and a constant yeast infection, yech! I guess I’ll be hitting the Activia yogurt until my face clears up! I also have to use a 5.5% benzoyl peroxide wash twice a day and Differin once a night. It doesn’t seem like too hard of a regime for what it’s worth. I need to get a new planner so I can write stuff down to remind me of things like this..but for now my wall calendar is going to make do.

Cross your fingers (and toes) for me that all this medicine will work!
