I’m not really into post­ing pri­vate blog posts because if it was really that sen­si­tive, you prob­a­bly should put it some­place besides a pub­lic blog.

These past weeks have been absolutely atro­cious and I feel like I’m gonna die from the men­tal exhaustion.

Some amaz­ing news, I was hired by CVS Phar­macy as a tech­ni­cian. Even though it’s not much more than Clark’s as far as pay goes, the hours will be full time which is some­thing I could really use right now. I was able to quit Clark’s as my bills are up to date, and won’t be need­ing money until April or so. (They haven’t given me a sched­ule yet because they’re wait­ing on drug test results. Which are drug free, cause drugs are bad, mmkay.)

Some bad news: Richard’s appen­dix burst.  He was rushed to the ER by fam­ily for excru­ci­at­ing bloat and abdom­i­nal pain, and in the mid­dle of surgery it rup­tured. Thank­fully, it was under the eye of the sur­geon that it did, because a rup­tured appen­dix is actu­ally quite fatal. They had the sur­gi­cal trauma team called up for him and every­thing. It was bad tim­ing and now my poor baby is at home with a drainage tube on his gut and has only just begun eat­ing solids. (This is after nearly a week and a half of no appetite)

We’re keep­ing an eye on him, but he’s also on some heavy duty antibi­otics and antibac­te­ri­als (Metron­ida­zole and Ciprofloxapin) to keep infec­tions like peri­toni­tis from set­ting in. That was a huge issue with the rup­ture because of all the con­t­a­m­i­nants and such com­ing into con­tact with the rest of the lower abdom­i­nal cav­ity. Yeck. In all cases though, he’s far­ing well, and is even walk­ing around now.

Found myself a kitschy lit­tle tea-for-one set at Barnes & Noble. It fea­tures the char­ac­ters of Beat­rix Potter’s famous, Peter Rab­bit. It’s so freakin’ adorable and classy. 

Cute lit­tle detail on the lid.

Tee­hee, Ben­jamin Bunny!

Richard sur­prised me with flow­ers, choco­late and a gift from Juicy Cou­ture.

I spent the day run­ning errands with Richard, but he sur­prised me at the end with a trip to Juicy.
