| These days, I have really gotten more into my photography passion. I have been shooting off photos left and right. Currently only have two people that are modeling for me. Which are my friends Malice and Dave. Both fun people to take photos of!!
Here are a couple of shots I did of them recently, trying different things out with my camera.
Here's a shot of Malice, as I was playing around with different angles.
Here's a shot of Dave, as I was playing around with the flash off, for an indoor shoot.
I have so much more learning to do. I am currently using a HP PhotoSmart 735 - but am saving my pennies for a better camera. Digital cameras can be very expensive. I was looking online at a Canon I want, and it's about $800. Which I wouldn't be able to think about getting, until after I find me a second job. Or if people start paying me to do little shoots with them. I got a package price listing set up already. Just debating when to post it on my photography page. (myspace.com/mcsibphotography)
I've also been searching on line for books on digital photography. There are a bunch I have found thus far. Again, just gotta get the money together so I may start to purchase my learning materials. Eventually, I do plan on taking a class on photography, but in the mean time, I will do as much learning on my own as I can.
Well, that's what I've been up to. I am also still working on a lot of writing projects, looking for a second job, and doing what I can to survive. Sorry I haven't posted on here in a while. Life has been busy I suppose. Plus, I fall into the habit of just updating my myspace blog, as most of you are on that site anyways.
Peace & Love to all! | comments: Leave a comment   |
| Well it seems as though, 2006 came and gone. Is it just me or did the year go by really fast?? It feels like so much happened last year, but I still don't feel like I got a whole heck of a lot done. lol.
Anyways, it's been a long time since I posted on here, so I figured it was about damn time that I updated this thing. lol. I still mostly post blogs on my myspace page. Again... because most the people I know and talk to on a regular basis are on that site. It's so much easier and nicer to update everyone at once, verses posting the same or basically the same post in a bunch of different places.
My leg has not gotten better. It has actually gotten worse, and now I am dealing with arch support (or what I think it arch support) issues in my left foot. *sigh* All well.. I will get through it all some way, some how, some day.
Lately, I have been writing a lot. I even got a Gather profile. I've got some things posted up on my page so far, and am planning on adding more very soon. I've also been using the site to showcase some of my photography. So if you want to check out my writing and photography, you can go directly on my page at, vampiryss.gather.com
Christmas was good this year. Spent it with family. Christmas Eve I went to one brother's house, and Christmas Day I went to another brother's house. haha. A little choatic, but it was really nice.
I've been single for almost four months now. Long story short, he turned into a jerk, and I wasn't gonna put up with it, so I ended things.
Well... I am off this thing for now. If ya'all want more current and up-to-date information, on what I've been up to and stuff, then you can read my blog on myspace. My profile there is, myspace.com/ladymcsib | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

| Well my goodness has it been awhile since I updated this thing. I've been mostly updating my myspace blog, since most everybody I know is over there now. Including people from the past, lol.
Anyways, these days I have been having a lot of issues with my right leg. It all started as a really light faint pain in the knee. I ignored it, because well... it was just a faint pain that I assumed would go away after maybe a couple days. Well the pain continued to get worse one day when I was over at my mom's place. As the day progressed my whole leg started throbbing. The pain just seemed to be getting worse and worse, and my leg got all swelled up. My leg was even a bit warm to the touch. So being that it was late at night, I called the on-call doctor. It happened to be my own doctor that night, and he told me to go into the E.R. just due to my family's history of blood clots. So I called up my friend Jersey, and she immediately came and took me to the hospital.
She helped me into the hospital, by running ahead and grabbing a wheel chair. One of the gaurds at the E.R. came out and pushed me into the E.R. waiting area. So, we sat and waited, and when it came to my turn, got admitted into the E.R. and was taken back to a room. The doctor was so funny that night! I may have been in a lot of pain, but my goodness was that doctor funny.
He comes in, and starts going into what he wants to do, then stops himself and is all, "OH! I'm Doctor" so-and-so, "Sorry about that"... We joked about how he just had to "get right in there and start". There was even a point when he was checking my refluxes, that Jersey was sitting in a chair behind him. He pulled out the little reflux thing and she was like "That's a nice one of those!" He kinda looked at her confused and when she pointed at the reflux tool (I don't know what they are called, lol) he actually said, "Oh! I was about to apologize for having my butt in your face.", and he wiggled his butt a little. Haha! It was hilarous! We all just started busting up laughing.
Of course that little E.R. visit wasn't all giggles. But I tell ya, when you are going in to be examined for a blood clot, you need to be able to laugh. The main doc that was on and running the floor that night, came in and explained the guy that does the Blood Clot tests is not avalible at that time. They gave me a note to give work, and I was scheduled to come back in a matter of hours to be tested. They did offer to have me admitted and just wait till morning, but I wanted to go home. lol. I ended up staying with my mom that night, and one of my brothers came to bring me to the hospital again in the morning, for my doppler test.
When we arrived at the hospital, he was going to drop me off and run his errands while I was getting my test. Since we didn't know how long it was going to take, then I was just to call his cell phone when I was ready to be picked up. Of course, he did come in to make sure I was in the right place of the hospital, and waited with me until I went in for the doppler.
The guy that did the doppler test was nice. He was kept apologizing to me, becuase well my leg is in a lot of pain, but the guy had to do, what he had to do, to make sure I didn't have a blood clot. Which thankfully, no blood clot!! The hospital wrote me off work for a couple days.
I went to go see my doctor, to follow up with him, and at that point he had me take a couple weeks off of work. Told me to put the leg up and rest it in hopes it would be better. Well... the pain actually was starting to get worse. But at one point, I did attempt to go back to work.
Unfortunately, I was about two hours into my shift when a burning sensation developed in my knee, and it felt like heat was just flowing through my leg. One of my co-workers also works in a hospital, and of course was just like, "Let me feel your legs". She wanted to make sure there was no heat. I of course explained to her about the doppler test and stuff there.
Well I was sent home early that night. The manager that was on that night, was asking everyone who does hosting if they could cover me. The one person I work with that's a server, who doesn't host. She likes her tips. Was the one person who spoke up and said, "Let me finish the few tables I have left, then I'll clock out as a server and clock on as a hostess." She was an angel that night. Because I was in so much pain, that the manager actually had me sit down at a booth and put my leg up for awhile, while I was in full uniform and on the clock! That just doesn't happen at a Denny's. lol.
Anyways, I went back to the E.R. that night. I had to wait awhile because Jersey was at work, and due to she being the only one avalible, I waited. When we went to the hospital I waited in the car this time till she came back with a wheel chair, instead of meeting her half way, lol.
Well the doctor this time was so not cool. He was kind of cold and he order me to get a blood test done (diabetes runs in the family gotta be checked every so often), and we were in the room just waiting and waiting. It felt like forever, before Jersey finally stepped out and asked about it getting done. He forgot about it. So shortly after that conversation with him, a nurse came in and took my blood. She said it was normal...
However, when I followed up with my doctor I was informed it was a little high. I was not thrilled. However, I did eat shortly before taking the test, so that could have an effect on it. Well my doctor ordered up a blood work test done. (which I still have to get done...) and also decided to send me to get the nerves checked out.
So back I go to the nerve doctor. Same guy that did my arm/wrist way-back-when. Which was nice, because he's a good doc, that knows nerve tests are not comfterable, so he likes to move them along as fast as he can.
Well the electro-shocks going through my ankle where just weird. None of the test was painful, it was just really uncomfterable. The only part of the test I really hated was when he stuck a needle in the muscle in my leg, and told me to flex and relax my muscle. They had to do it, to make sure my muscle wasn't doing anything back with my nerves.
The nerve test finally completed... and it was normal. My nerves are fine, no nerve damage for this girl. Okay... so I was relieved yet frustrated from all high-hell at this point. Because the pain still continued to get worse, I was off work and still didn't know what was wrong with my leg.
The next follow up with my doctor and he's frustrated too. You see, I have no insurance. So this is all private-pay stuff, and being that I haven't been working, I haven't been able to make money, while all these medical bills are piling up.
My doctor wants me to get an MRI done on my leg. He thinks it is something in my knee causing all the problems off the leg. I can't bend my knee without wanting to scream! So at this point I am waiting to be approved for medicaid (crosses fingers), so my doctor can send me off for more test.
I've been off work for like two months now. Almost three, by the time this month passes. *sigh* It drives me crazy, because I am a person who needs to work. I like working. I may hate the place I'm working for, but I like working.
Well.. that's the basic update on my health issues to date. lol. For those of you here, and not on myspace, I will try to post more often here. :) | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| I orginally posted this on MySpace. But considering not all of you are on MySpace, and I don't want to re-type things out, I'm simply copying and pasting the below entry...
----------------------------
So it's time to get a little more personal. I've been having some odd issues lately, and yesterday I had a very sharp pain in my right side. I mean it hurt bad! I all but cried, lol. I could hardly move, and yesterday was laundry day for me, so you can imagine how fun that was. LOL.
Well my mom (laundry day is at her house - it's our day together) of course, became very worried about me. To the point the minute my boyfriend came in later on, she immediately told on me. He got a bit upset because I didn't tell him there was any issues in the beginning. Which was dumb on my part, I guess it was one of those "I didn't want him to worry" moments. Plus I was just trying to blow them off. Well, I continued to have pains today. Not as bad as the night before, but still intense enough that I called my doctor's office. The doc that was filling in for my own that day, called me back and I explained the symptoms to him, and he said that it could be a number of things and told me that if the pain is that intense, then he suggests going to the emergancy room. So yes... I called up one of my brothers and he came and picked me up and took me to the emergancy room.
Before he got to me, I of course called up my work and talked to my manager, letting him know what basically was going on.
When arriving at the hospital, I suprisingly got right in. Went straight to registration, then straight back to a room. I made my brother come back with me to keep me company, because it's still an E.R., and it still takes hours (or what feels like it) between pokes, tests and other things they do to you at a hospital. lol. Of course he had to step out a couple times, but he still came back there with me. I kept reminding him of what an "awesome" brother he was for taking his little sister to the emergancy room when she needed to go.
Anyways, they ran some usual tests and then did a KAT Scan on the area that was hurting. Well my apendix looks good. Which is always a plus! LOL. Although the doctor did say that with that kind of a test, it would be too early to detect anything wrong with it, but I guess it did look fine. So, his "guess" is that I had passed a kidney stone. I guess my kidney looks fine, but I probably had a stone, and it passed through the previous night, since it didn't hurt as bad. He said I would be a little tender and sore for a couple of days. No one is happy that he "guessed" my diagnoses. I have to call my doctor first thing in the morning and set up an appointment, for the follow up visit. I'm supposed to in the next 1 - 2 days. *sigh*
So then after finally leaving (was there for a long while) the hosptial, I made a pit stop into my work to give a note to management, basically saying I was excused for Thursday & Friday. :) YAY!! Day off to rest and relax, and try to feel better. lol.... Anyways, I stopped and got to see two very groovy people (Hi Dave & Faith!!) who stopped in to see me, and unfortunately I couldn't work so I wasn't there. But thankfully I did think to stop in on the way home to give in my note. So I was able to get the hugs and talk to them for a few minutes.
After stopping at work I came home, informed my dad, called up my mom and informed her on the updates and what they "think" is wrong with me.
Later on my boyfriend came over to see me, and check on me. He took me out and spent some time with me. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| Work has cut my hours even more. I am now lucky if I get 13 hours in. If I get to work my entire shift tonight (Sunday), then I will get 13 hours. *sigh* I remember the full time days, when I could be a server and get my 40 hours a week. Made much better money then...
Anyways, last Friday I had off and I went to my mom's for a "Girls Night". We watched the Exorcism of Emily Rose, good movie!! OMG! If you haven't seen it yet, you gotta! It's a good movie, and knowing that it's based on a true story adds to it.
Oh! I cancelled my paid account for next month. *shrug* I was only supposed to be charged $3.00, because it was a reaccurring payment, however they charged me $4.00 - and I did not sign up for 100 userpics!! So yes, I have cancelled, and have yet to find a costumer service e-mail I can use to contact LiveJournal.
I took some new photos last Tuesday. I'll have to post them in a later post. I may work on my description on here a little bit tonight. If not, I get to it this week. hehe.
HUGS & SMOOCHES to all! | | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment |
| Well, this week has been kinda crazy. I am so tired right now, as it's 2:57am and I am still awake. I got out of work at like 10:00pm, got picked up around 11:00pm - then went out to eat and help my boyfriend write out his homework. He has a brace on his arm now too.... :( Poor guy has fractured soft tissue in his wrist.
Work has me stressed out. Just thinking about it stresses me out. I want to quit... I really am considering it. I seriously debated with myself tonight whether to quit or not. Of course, I would put my two weeks in, and give the proper notice... unless they piss me off that badly! LOL.
Alright, well this is a short entry, cause I am really tired. Just thought I would post a quick hello or something, since I haven't posted in awhile. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| So last Saturday I had requested the day off, and recieved it! I was able to go to my Aunt & Uncle's 25th Wedding Anniversary party. Which was awesome, since they re-newed their vows. The same minister that married them, was the guy that re-married them. It was very sweet and beautiful.
It was so much fun too!! OMG! One of my cousin's tricked me into dancing! Okay, I so don't dance, I just can't dance. But hey, at least I admit it. LOL. Anyways, it all started when one of my cousin's was trying to get me to dance, and I wouldn't budge. I was just like, "I don't dance" Keep in mind, I just finished slow dancing with my Aunt, haha. But I wouldn't budge. So she went over to her brother (the one that tricked me), and I guess she bet him that he couldn't get me to dance. So he comes up to me, and he's all, "Sarah, I need to talk to you." And he sounds so serious, he's like, "can you come here for a second." So I got up and I was like what. Then he was all, "give me your hand" and he started dancing with me! LMFAO!! I couldn't believe it. I had to laugh, just cause he tricked me so well. haha... I love my family.
The party was a blast, and given the current situations it was so good to see my mom have a good time. She really did, but it came to a point were we both got too tired, and had a long ride home. So we ended up leaving the party a bit early. When I got home, I returned a couple phone calls and then I just crashed! I fell asleep sometime before 10:00pm, and didn't wake up for the day until around 2:00am! HAHA! I mean, I got up for awhile between like 8:14am and 10:00am, but WOW, did I sleep! LOL. I am wide awake at the moment, and I am like, "SHIT!". Only because I have a staff meeting at work tommorrow. LOL.
Also, I am really considering joining up with Mary Kay. Almost a year ago, I had the same intentions. However, at that time I was all set to go, but money fell through, and I was unable to sign up. *sigh* It sucked, cause I really wanted to do the Mary Kay route. Instead, I ended up at my local Denny's... which some of you know how that turned out for me... *big sigh*
Well, I am seriously looking at selling Mary Kay again. This time, I am able to save up to sign up for Mary Kay. I think at first I will just do the website portion of the career. Just until I am fully ready to make Mary Kay a career. At that point... well... we won't go into that yet. lol.
OMG!!! Why am I still awake?!?!?!?! LOL. I seriously need to go to bed, but I just can't get tired. lol. | | comments: Leave a comment |

| Well yesterday I ended up sleeping most of it away. How the hell I did that, I will never know. lol. Seriously though, I was like in bed from 5:30am to around 8:00pm. LOL! There was a few wake up for a few minute moments, but still, I couldn't believe I slept so long. I stayed up till about 4:00am this morning, and forced myself to sleep a little bit longer. Just so I could be up all day, and night since I am working tonight. I was originally going to stay in bed until 9:15am, but I woke up at like 7:10am, lol.... all well at least I tried.
Anyways, I got to run to the store today. My brace finally wore out and broke. *sigh* I've had the damn thing for like four or five months now. All well, hopefully I will get to a store before I go to work tonight.
Okay... well I am off to get some breakfast. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Okay, so my day started off when I got up at like 9am, well I was awaken by my boyfriend calling me. I went with him to take care of some of his arrends. Then I got dropped back off. I was so exhausted at that point, due to only being on like two hours of sleep, if that! I was also really hungry, so I had a quick bite, called my mom, then ended up crashing shortly after. I slept from like 3pm something, to like 8pm. lol. So there went my day. But it's okay, cause I went back out to dinner with my boyfriend. Now I'm home, full and kinda tired. lol. I got some photos developed while I was out tonight. I found a disaposable camera I never got developed. I have another one from my parents 25th Wedding Anniversary party yet too, lol. That was long ago! LOL. It was from the family reunin for my dad's side 2005. It was in like June or July. haha...
It's like 2:36am, I'm so restless right now. I can hardly sit still. There's a lot I want to work on tonight, but at the same time I want to try and sleep a little bit. So if I go out in the morning, I'll be awake.
I've been working on finding and making more icons for my LiveJournal. I think I may make and add more later. You can find the ones I've uploaded so far here, http://www.livejournal.com/allpics.bml?user=sarahmcsib
Okay, well I'm really thirsty, so I'm off to get a drink and plot out my night, haha. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| Happy New Year 2006! - Okay... that's like 9 days too late, but all well. This is the first entry of the year, so I can still say it... *hehe*
Last year, really kinda sucked for me. So this year, I am going to try and make things better. lol. I didn't make any resolutions, and I don't intend too. I never keep the damn things anyways, lol. Did anyone make resolutions this year?
Oh! I upgraded my LiveJournal account this morning. I'm working on adding more userpics, I have updated my info. I'm also working on building a scrapbook, and some other stuff. *shrug* I got bored and it was really cheap. lol.
Alright, well I'm in a semi-decent mood, although I'm actually kinda tired. I don't know why, I slept most of yesterday away. haha... Seriously though, I did... but I've been up since like 11 somthing last night. *sigh* Today, I get to go to my momma's house and do some laundry... yeah, I've pretty much made Monday my laundry day. So I am off to get clothes together... | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| Whoa... it's New Years Eve already. I can hardly believe it. What a screwed up year it has truly been. So much death and un-happiness came out for a lot of people. However, there was a lot of good things happening to people as well.
For me personally, it was just a really screwed up year. I'm looking forward to New Years. I'm seriously hoping 2006 will have a better turn out. This year, is ending on such a depressing note for me, but I am trying to stay postive.
My nose is all stuffed up. I can breathe through it, so now my throat is a little sore from having to breathe through my mouth all night. *sigh* I'll have to find my way to the store either on the way too or from work tonight, and pick up some meds for this. Beat it while I'm ahead, cause I have no time to be sick. lol.
I am scheduled to see the surgeon for my carpal tunnel (to get his opinion) on the 23rd of January. Not really looking forward to it, because I don't want surgery. I really don't want to go in, sit down have him examine my arm and tell me it needs surgery. I mean, I'm sure he's a good surgeon, my own doctor reccommendid him, but I just don't want surgery. I'm a little nervous about the idea. | | comments: Leave a comment |

| Well... this holiday season has been very hard. I've done my best to keep in the spirit of Christmas, and I think I succeeded, despite the hard times I have faced. For starters, a couple weeks ago, I found out that a friend has passed away. He was in the Navy, and died in his sleep.
Last Tuesday, my step-father passed away. I won't go into what happened on here, but it's been a very long week. I've never been more thankful to work on the weekends, lol. Seriously though, because it's been helping keep my mind off things. I stayed with my mom the first few days after it happened. My mom's been staying with one of my brother's now, and will stay with her sisters for a few days after Christmas. The family viewing was last Thursday. I worked Friday and last night. I also work tonight... *sigh* Then Monday is public visiting (he was cre-mated), followed by the funeral on Tuesday.
Other then that, I've been trying to be positive. It's like I have a weekend break or something. *shrug* I don't know. I just know I am trying to stay postive and happy for my family.
Now more happy Christmas stuff! I got so many Christmas cards from people this year. I felt all special. They are all hanging up right now, I kept all envelopes so I can safely store them. It's a girl thing... Anyways, it's like 5:10am right now, and I am so tired. Just got home from work a few minutes ago. I am so ready for bed now. lol.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! I hope you all are having a safe and joyful holiday! | | comments: 8 comments or Leave a comment |
| Well, I have relaxed a bit more since my last post on here. I didn't work this past weekend, I went to my doctor's office last Friday morning, and he wrote me off for the weekend. As is, I had called off on last Thursday, because my arm flared up... too much pain to handle. Anyways, at my doctor's visit I recieved the phone number to the surgeon that my doctor is reccommending. Yes, I have to go see a hand surgeon now. It doesn't mean that I will have the carpal tunnel surgery, however it doesn't rule it out either. My doctor just wants that second opinion... *sigh*
Christmas is right around the corner, and I'm actually looking forward to it. I've never been a Christmas kinda person. I mean, I've always enjoyed buying presents and things for others, but I didn't feel I needed a holiday to do so. But for some crazy reason, the season is bitting me in the butt! LOL. I want to buy Christmas music to listen to while I wrap presents this year, I'm looking forward to going Christmas shopping Wednesday with my mom. I'll be finishing up my shopping then. We are starting at like 8:30am! My mom's all giddy that I'm into it this year... lol. I still can't believe I've gotten into the spirit of things as much as I have. My friend/co-worker suggests it's because I have my boyfriend and his kids to shop for this year. Which could very well be. *shrug*
Let's see... what else is new.... I made a site a long time ago called, Lena Cardwell 2001. Well I was going over it a couple days ago, and got all inspired to re-build it. Something I've been planning forever now. lol. So I am working on that slowly. I'm hoping to have the new site up by the first of the year. http://www.lenacardwell.tk - that's the short URL for it now.
Okay... really not sure what else to write at the moment. I just woke up a little bit ago, so I think I may just head off for now... kinda wanted to update everyone on my arm. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Okay... what a terrible night it turned out to be. It was a Saturday, I woke up... everything was okay. I actually got some sleep, I was a little groggy, but soon was able to wake peacefully. I got to see my dad for a bit before he left out of town for a meeting (he's about of The Team, along with one of my brothers), and I was calling around for a ride to work last night. Well, I got a phone call from work asking if I could come in at 5pm or 6pm. Okay fine, well I was going to hang out with a friend of mine, but she had plans at 5pm anyways. But she was like, well hey, I can take ya to work, but it'll be early. Okay, no problem there... lol. So I called work back up and informed them, I would be there soon.
Well, on the way to work, I was in a car accident. Crossing an intersection, my friend had the green light and she was going the speed limit. Well this asshole comes off the highway and we end up colliding. She hit the brakes, but couldn't stop in time, and we ended up hitting the back seat of his car.. the door behind the passanger seat. His back window shattered. Her front corner is damaged, although his car did get the worse end of the deal with car damage. The fucker deserved it though, if he's going to pull out in front of people. I'm usually a pretty compassionate and passive person, but I have NO compassion or patience for assholes like this.
So, after awhile, all of us were OK. The dumbass got away with it, and my friend got the ticket.... *shakes head* Damn cops are too afraid to offend certain people in my opinion. It has to be the case, because my friend had the right away... damn cop... damn asshole that had to pull out in front of us.
Oh, and then last night at work things just got worse. I couldn't put two thoughts together all night. I was worried about my friend, I had the accident on my mind, and then I had co-workers screaming and bitching all night. At one point they kept yelling at me, cause they couldn't handle their job. I'm like, "I'm done! I'm tired of the arguing." I almost walked out on my job last night. This has been a pretty shitty work week. Every day I've gone in, someone is complaining about me or too me. I'm tired of it, I'm tired of people's bullshit... I am very close to quitting Denny's.
So yeah... it was a pretty shitty night last night. I'm home now, I'm showered and in some comfy pajamas. I'm going to bed soon, to wake and go to work 5pm - 10pm tommorrow... *sigh* | | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment |
| So my birthday has finally arrived. It was great last night at work, cause the wonderful Dave, Jen and Holly (I missed you Faith) came in, and were there after midnight. I got hugs and they sang to me. I think I may have turned beat red, I'm not sure, lol. It's okay, it was really sweet. Thank you hunnies!! SMOOCHES!!!!
I have to work again tonight. *sigh* I don't want too, lol. I'm scheduled 7pm - 5am!!! AHH!!! I hate 10 hour shifts. lol. Maybe I'll get lucky and they'll send me home early... ehh... who am I kidding, it's Saturday... we get slammed on Saturday nights.
Oh! And I sound like I'm sick, but I swear I'm not. I feel fine! I went to this store in the mall a couple days ago now, with a friend of mine. I was smelling all the insence and when I left my allergies just flared like their's no tommorrow! So I'm guessing it was either an insent that didn't agree with my allergies or something else in that store. But either way, my allergies are just now calming down. But I couldn't breathe through my nose when I was sleeping the other night, so I breathed through my mouth at night. And well, I woke up with my entire throat so dry I coughed and it hurt and I haven't been able to get my voice right. I think I am sounding a bit better. I know my throat is starting to feel a bit better. So yeah... hopefully this quickly passes and doesn't turn into anything. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |

| This week is going by way too fast! LOL. Although, I certainly can't wait till Wednesday, Pay Day!! haha!! Work has been hell. Since the place I was sent to (by Denny's) released me, my General Manager now says, I have to have new doctor's notes to tell him my restrictions at work. *sigh* So first thing in the morning, I'm calling my doctor and seeing if I can get in Wednesay sometime.
I started physical therapy (again) last week. I am seeing him again later this morning. Nice guy, this in the therapist my own doctor sent me too. I'm going to try and get some sleep before it's time to get up and get ready to go. I've been a good girl, have been taking my meds and doing my streches.
Oh!! My four year old nephew has been saying, "Stupid Booky" for about a year and half now. My brother and sister (in-law), have been trying to figure it out. Well my brother was helping him get dressed and I guess he accidently pulled up his pants a little too quick, and my nephew yelled, "OUCH MY BOOKY!". So, I was on the phone with my brother earlier, and my nephew got mad at my brother, so he stomped in the other room and yelled, "Stupid Booky!" The funny part is, all this time my nephew has created his own cuss word. I may use that at work, thanks kid! LOL. My brother told him to watch his language and then explained to me what had happened, and said, "So basically, my son just got me a Stupid Dick." LMFAO!! I laughed so damn hard, and I was like, "You do realize bro, I'm telling all my co-workers and friends, right?" LOL
Oh... one more sucky piece of information. My 21st birthday is this Saturday, (November 12th) and I gotta work 7pm - 5am!! I mean, I didn't have anything planned. Good lord, I'm not even excited about turning 21, lol. But it's just the idea of working on your birthday. I don't wanna! LOL. All well, I could seriously use the hours, lol. I just keep telling myself that. Usually gets me through a long shift.
Alright... I'm getting tired... | | comments: 6 comments or Leave a comment |
| Well I set an appointment up for tommorrow at 1:30pm. I'll be seeing the physical therapist that my own doctor has recommended. I'm nervous about it though. My doctor wants to send me to a surgen (as I mentioned previously) if the therapy doesn't help.  So I am a little nervous, that if it doesn't help, I may need surgery or something.
On a brighter note, as you can see I changed the colors of my LiveJournal. I wanted a change on this. What do you think of the colors I chose? I customized it, and it was a bitch to set up. All well... I think the hassel was worth it.
I don't know... I guess I'm just ready to change things. I've had the same theme on my journal forever now. I liked the layout, just ready for brighter colors.
Okay... well it's my laundry day and I gotta take care of that. I'm then probably going to work on making some new userpics for this LiveJournal as well. hehe... | | comments: 6 comments or Leave a comment |
| For starters, let's go back to the work-mens comp issue. I saw the physical therapist like two more times since my last post on here. I saw the doctor twice. She doesn't know what's wrong with my arm. My arm was hurting really bad the second time I saw her. She told me that I may have noticed the pain started at work, and that work may aggravate my arm, however she doesn't think it's work related. Of course she doesn't... *rolls eyes* I saw my own doctor yesterday. He disagrees with her. He strongly believes it's work related. It's strongly possible that it's carpal tunnel, that's what all signs are pointing too at this point. I gotta schedule some appointments, because he wants me to see his physical therapist. After a couple weeks of that, his next move will be sending me to a surgen, and seeing what he has to say. *sigh* So that's the latest on my left arm news. Kinda in short, but I really don't have to the energy to go into every little detail.
Unfortunately, I was unable to dress up for Halloween this year. It was very dissapointing. Halloween is my all time favorite holiday, and I so badly wanted to dress up... at least a little. *sigh* I never got a chance to get to the store. I guess I'll have to plan ahead early. Hmmm... I'm thinking classic vampire... lol...
I did get to have fun though. I got too spend Halloween with some awesome people, and it was a lot of fun. | | comments: 10 comments or Leave a comment |

| So, I filed for my work-mans comp. Unfortunately, Denny's got in trouble because there was no report of my injury, before I called corporate. *shrug* I didn't mean for them to get into trouble. But hell if no one wanted to understand my question when I asked, "What do I need to do in order to file for work-mans comp?", then there's really nothing I can do.
I had to go do a drug-screening test. I am seeing their doctor. I'm also seeing their physical therapist. Yes, I am doing physical therapy for my left arm. *sigh* It's a bit painful, but hopefully effective. I've only had two visits. The guy that does physical therapy seems nice so far. However, he has crap for magazines (hehe). I may have to bring my own reading material for the next visit. See, he puts this medicine patch on my arm, and hooks them up to a machine. Man does it sting. *pout*
Oh... and I woke up this morning all cungested. *sigh* I'm sick, sore and I have to work for six hours tonight. I'm just happy that I am not working past midnight this weekend. No bar rush for me! YAY!!!! | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |

| Yesterday I had a staff meeting at Denny's. It was a usual staff meeting, we all drag ourselfs in, and then leave it in a much better mood. *shrug* I don't get it either. To be sure I wasn't late, I just got in uniform (since I had to work that night anyways after the meeting would be over) and took a cab to work. Cost me $6 bucks... like it does everytime I take a cab to work. I hate taking cabs... a couple times the driver flirted with me. Once, not to recently in a way that made me really uncomfterable. *shrug* All well... life goes on.
Anyways, it was a very slow night at work, so I got out early. It worked perfectly cause Dave & Faith showed up. It was so sweet to see them, but I did miss Jen. *pouts*
I hung out with Dave & Faith for awhile before calling my ride and heading home. A cute little 2-year-old sat behind us, and kept turning around trying to make conversation. He was adorable and funny. It was a good laugh.
Also, I went to my doctor's appointment today. It was originally scheduled for 11:30am this morning, but due to some issues this morning... which I won't get into right now. I had to reschedule to 4:00pm this afternoon. So I went. Found out a lost some more weight (which of course I'm happy about), but I showed my doctor my very sore arm. He's glad that I have a proper splint (brace) on it now. He's still leaning towards it being carpal tunnel. He's also told me to file for Work-Mans Comp. *sigh* So I have another doctor's note to excuse me from lifting at work, and I get to have that unpleasant conversation of work-man's comp.
It seems to be one frustrating thing after another today. Thank GOD it's pay day, I can take care of some things. I'm stressin a lot these days. It's more frustration with life and situations I'm dealing with, then anything. I guess.
Alright, well I just wanted to update on this. I'm tired. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
