brrrrr
It is definitely becoming fall. It is getting chilly. We haven't turned the heat on yet (to save money and all that). So I have been chilly at home, and at work. But at work Jack just keeps the air on year round because he likes it cold. Which in the winter time I can handle because I'll have a sweater on. Anyway.
Jack wants me to dress up like Spongebob on Saturdays at work and measure kids feet and hand out stickers. Or rotate it out. Like one Saturday I could be Spongebob, the next Saturday I could be Hello Kitty, then Cinderella. Oh man. Who knew that my cosplaying would get me backed into a corner like this?

off to work a double shift
I love that I get to help out at another store today and they scheduled me to work a double shift. and not only do I get to work a double shift, but no one comes in to relieve me until 5:30! that's fucked up. on days where I work double shifts I usually take two lunches. so today the first will be a sandwich type lunch, so I won't feel so bad eating it at the register. the second will be a frozen meal of some sort.
yesterday I was off work and didn't get much accomplished. but I did play DDR a bit.
and on the weight loss front, I can't remember if I have posted this in here or not. I remember not wanting to, because I didn't want anyone to give me any shit for it. but my psychiatrist put me on this medication called topamax. it's an anti-seizure drug that has a side effect of weight loss. and I've lost 15 pounds so far being on this medicine. I still have a long way to go and I know I am not going to get there with medication alone, I just needed something to jump start me.

has it passed?
I can't tell if the kidney stone has passed or not. I have been straining the urine like the doctor told me, but nothing has come out. he said it might break up. so who knows.
today I get to pick up my car, finally! after it being stolen, it had to be repaired. but before it could be repaired we had to get the insurance people to look at it and get an estimate on cost and whatnot. so then we took it to the dealership where I purchased it to get it fixed and they have been taking forever to get it fixed. And now they're trying to charge me more money. which isn't going to happen. assholes. they couldn't figure out how to change the locks, so they had to tow the car to the other dealership (there are three in town) and get it done there, and they are trying to charge me for that. I don't think so! It's not my fault they are morons!

oh the agony
I woke up yesterday with some really bad pain in my back. I was kind of freaking out because nothing I did made it feel better. I put heat on it, flex all, massage, nothing. And then at around 8pm, while I was at work, the pain just exploded. So, I had my dad take me to the ER last night. Turns out I have a kidney stone. A freaking kidney stone. It's 2-3 mm and I should pass it any day now. The nurse said that I must have a really high tolerance for pain.

farewell to Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash passed away this morning. He was only 71. Sometimes stuff like that freaks me out because my Dad will be 65 next week and my Mom is 62.
Anyway, I'll be wearing black today, not because I am in mourning, but in tribute.

yay a day off!
I have errands to run today. I need to get my dad and sister a birthday present. My brother's birthday is coming up too, but since he didn't get me anything, I am not getting him anything. Nya. I also have to get a key for another Payless that I am working at tomorrow. And I need to go grocery shopping.
I am also tired and I am thinking about taking a nap.

good advice
no matter how thirsty you are, don't drink two large glasses of water before you go to bed if you want to sleep through the night.
so, today is my first day in the hoity toity mall. I am a little nervous. it's kind of like starting all over again. but not really cause I have the wonderful Jack as my manager and Michelle as my coworker. The only person I haven't worked with before is the part-timer. So I don't think it will be too bad.

updates galore!
Friday night I went to see 9voltRevolt at a lovely place called Pappy's which is in the south end of Louisville. Ok, it wasn't really lovely, but I had a good time. I went with rah, her husband and two of her friends. I also go to meet the fantastic g*g*. She and I had been chatting for a while... it turned out that Louisville is such a small town we had way fewer than 6 degrees of separation. And I love her! She is so cool. And so it was a nice night.
Saturday night I went out with some Payless people to celebrate a birthday. Earlier in the week I was told we were going to eat at Shogun and then go to the Comedy Caravan, but then they decided to change the plans and go to Phoenix Hill Tavern. Anyone that knows me knows that I am not a bar/club type person. It was an okay night. It was nice to see Julie again, she doesn't work for Payless anymore and I hadn't seen her in a while. And the girls kept me entertained with their drunken antics. But I was sooo tired. I had worked a double shift on Friday and stayed out late that night, then opened the store on Saturday... so it was a long day.
Today I was going to go to a seminar thing that one of my professors from college was doing, but I was just so tired I decided not to go. I wanted to see him again and I really thought it would be cool, but I decided resting was more important. I am also having a grand old time doing laundry. Later on I might even do some grocery shopping. Ooooh.
