So today was pretty much one of the worst days of my life!!!!

I haven't been drinking enough water lately, so I guess I got really dehydrated. I started to get a bad cramp, but with regular cramps, you can usually switch positions and it'll let up a little. but it was just getting worse and worse and it was moving towards my back (I've had kidney stones before, so I knew what was coming)

BUT.....if that wasn't bad enough, I had eaten some of those frozen toquitos this morning, and I think the box had may have been open before. not that anyone tampered with it, but something probably just got into the food. so I got food poisoning on top of the stones!!! it was the kind of food poisoning that's just way intense for an hour or so and then you feel better.

So I'm done throwing up, but I just can't move around too much. it's like if I jostle my stomach I'll remind it that I'm sick! lol.
Luckily I was able to fall asleep for a little bit to let the stone stop hurting so much.

seriously, I love the magical power of sleep. not only does your body heal, and re energize while you sleep, but I just being unconscious while my body is in pain. cuz our bodies can handle so much, but I'm just a little baby

so, enough about my whining. other that being sick things are going pretty well. I might be getting a better job at Albertson's. My friend Jeremy is going to Orem for school to become a linemen, and I'll probably get his meat wrapping job. I pretty much already have it unless someone more qualified applies for it. it's pretty much the best job in the store, so I'm super excited. The only thing that sucks about it, is Jeremy is pretty much the coolest person who works at Albertson's. there's a lot of cool people, but he's the closest to me in age, and we have more in common than anyone else.

Things are going pretty well for Pat at work too, he finished his second year of school, and he should be taking his Journeyman's test soon. His bosses LOVE him! he keeps getting raises and stuff. he just got a $2 raise the other day, so he's making $16 an hour now, and he's not even a journeymen yet! when he passes his test, he'll be one of the youngest (if not THE youngest) journeymen electricians in St. George :D:D I'm so proud of him!

so, speaking of drastically changing the subject, 23 days, 2 hours, 37 minutes, and 7 seconds until the Dark Knight comes out!!! I wanted to put a video on here of Two-Face, but I guess this site doesn't allow direct links from youtube, but if you want to see it, go to http://www.whysoserious.com/myhero/



p.s. my dogs are the sweetest creatures ever to walk this earth!! the whole time I was sick they were sitting right by me cuddling with me. it made me so happy :D Pat's up in Provo for work, so it was nice to not have to be here all on my own.

whoo-hoo!! I'm back!

Pat got me the Internet for my birthday! he bought one of those cards that you plug into your USB port, and it grabs a signal.

so, I'm twenty now! I feel so old. I hardly remember anything from when I was little, so most of what I remember is from being a teenager, so it's weird that it's over!

today has been such a good day so far. well, it's only noon, but I was at a yard sale thing all morning. My boss Shelda at Albertsons adopted a puppy the other day. she was left by the side of the road in Leeds with three broken legs. Shelda's friend works around animals, and when she saw that the shelter was baout to put the dog down, she said "she's my dog now, you can't touch her"
so, they saved her life, but now she needs a lot of work done on her legs (her front right leg is the worst, the whole bone was shoved into the joinT. she mave loose that leg) the vet here did as much as he could, but the other legs need extensive surgery, so they have to take her down to a specialist in vegas. we rounded up a bunch of old stuff, and had a yard sale outside the vet's office this morning. we raised a ton of money for the puppy, so I feel pretty good :D
