Went to another clinic today, missed two hours of work, dropped $140 I can't afford to spend and still don't have a solution. The doctor took a couple of cultures and a urine sample and I have to wait 48 hours to see if anything grows. Cross your fingers that something does so I can get some answers. I'm really sick of feeling like crap.

On a different note, they picked a new pope today. A talk show host said the event had significant impact on Catholics and non-Catholics alike. No, it doesn't. I'm not religious and I don't give a rat's ass who their pope is. It's just some man who heads (in my extremely cynical opinion) a corrupt organization. Even if there is a god, I doubt very much that just because a bunch of guys claiming to be men of god pick one guy over the rest makes that single guy God's representative on earth. It's all a crock. I don't see how any particular person being a pope has squat to do with my life except that it took over my Starting Over episode today. </rant>

Sorry, just feeling totally bitchy today. I'm PMSing really bad, I haven't gotten enough sleep with the schedule change and that neighbor fiasco this last weekend, my dumb boss showed up an hour and a half earlier than he was scheduled so I had to see him this morning, creditors have been calling my cell mercilessly today and I have no money to pay them, I was late to work because traffic totally sucked, I felt useless there today because I don't know enough to be totally useful and there weren't any projects I could work on by myself, then I had to leave work early and for what? My car was acting up really bad today, I feel like shit, no television to watch because yesterday's Medium was a repeat and the pope pre-empted SO and Gilmore Girls tonght sucked. All my eBay auctions ended today and nobody bought anything. Oh, and we're out of food. Grrrrr.

I know this will all get better eventually (like in a week after my period is over and I get used to the new routine). I'm just frustrated in the meantime.

Also, I miss my afternoon nap.

Yay, first day in the books—all went well. Going to watch CSI:Miami and head to bed.

In a little over an hour and a half, I'll be starting my new job. I'm sure I can handle it, but I've still got the first day jitters and am feel totally sick to my stomach. Of course, I also did not sleep well last night due to said jitters. *sigh* Wish me luck.

I just read that Adobe (Photoshop, Acrobat, Illustrator, etc.) purchased Macromedia (Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks, etc.) for $3.4 Billion.

By combining our development, authoring and collaboration software - along with the complementary functionality of Adobe PDF documents and Macromedia Flash - Adobe has the opportunity to bring this vision to life with an industry-defining technology platform.

Wow.

Man, I hate days like today. This stupid infection is getting worse and I don't get paid until Wednesday. I hope it doesn't get to the point of putting me in the ER before I can get to a doctor. I tried to rest when I got home from work this morning as I had really bad chills and I'm getting achy, but I started coughing really bad and ended up puking the broccoli cheese soup I ate for lunch--all over the bathroom counter, the walls, the floor, the mirror. It was totally disgusting. I even ruined Marcus' toothbrush. I finally got it cleaned up and tried to go back to sleep after my stomach settled and the cough subsided, but then the stupid family next door kept me awake. I guess it was their turn to host the weekly family gathering. Nothing like listening to grown men fighting in spanish right outside my bedroom window to Mexican polkas and screaming children on a trampline. Yay. The party has been going on all day. The neighbors and the other side have been trying all day to get this car working that hasn't ran since they moved here. There was absolutely no place I could go in my own house that was quiet. I'm tired, I'm crabby and I can't concentrate on anything to actually get anything done. *sigh*

I want nothing more than to move away from here. I'm tired of rude neighbors and barking dogs and ferrell cats. This is going to be one long freaking summer since I'm going to be working nights/early mornings at the pizza place, days at my new job and I'm going to need to sleep from about 6pm to 2am. When the neighbors let the kids jump on the trampoline until it gets dark and allow them to scream constantly to boot, my temper is going to be really short from lack of sleep. Fun stuff. Not.

Well, the damned kids have finally quieted down. I'm going to bed and try to get some rest.
