It’s Hard Posted by Jessica on May 29th, 2008
If you have been reading my blog lately(not much to read though) then you will know that I started work last week. I haven’t worked a full day this week except for today. I got one of my jaw teeth pulled Tuesday afternoon so I only worked until twelve. It took them and hour and a half to pull that one tooth. It took twelve shots for it to numb and even then it didn’t numb all of the way. I couldn’t sit there any longer so I just let him pull the tooth even though I could still feel the pain. The pulling wasn’t as bad as I was expecting. But, it is definitely hurting now. My face is still a little swollen and my gums and jaw bone are extremely sensitive and bruised. I have a bruise on the inside of my mouth on the far back and hole my mouth from where the tooth was pulled. I hope I never have to get another tooth pulled in my life. The pain is horrible. What makes it even worse is that I work twelve hours a day and I am not able to take the pain medicine they prescribed me because it makes me sick to my stomach and sleepy. So, I’m having to take Advil or something along those lines to keep the pain to a minimum for a few hours and the pop some more. I haven’t had much to eat the past three days. I can’t really eat that much. I can’t wait for my mouth to heal so I can’t eat like I used to and not worry about it hurting. In other news, Bryan bought me two hermit crabs yesterday as an early birthday present. I have yet to take pictures but I will soon. I’ve just been so crazy busy lately that I haven’t really had a chance to do much of anything. Bryan asked me what I wanted for my birthday besides those hermit crabs and I replied like I usually do when asked a question like that. I don’t know. I don’t care. He asked if I would like all of The Sims 2 expansion packs and stuff packs. I said of course. We’ve gotten all but two of the stuff packs I think. We are working of the expansion packs now. (WOW! My medicine is starting to kick in now. I’m a little woozy and everything is a little blurry.) In other sad news, our dog died today. Butch was six years old(in human years). We aren’t really sure what was wrong with him but Bryan thinks he may have had heart worms. A few days ago he started moping around a lot and wouldn’t eat and every time he drank water he would throw it up along with blood. Bryan told me today when I came home for lunch that I better say my goodbyes to him because he didn’t think he last much longer. I got through eating lunch and was going out back to say goodbye and I couldn’t even do that because he had already died in the thirty minutes that we were inside. I cried like a baby. I had to quickly stop the crying and dry up the tears because I was headed back to work. I’m actually tearing up right now. It’s always so hard to lose a pet. Well, this medicine is making me sleepy so I’m going to head out for now. I just wanted to update everyone on what has been going on lately.

Not Around Lately Posted by Jessica on May 24th, 2008
I started work this past Tuesday. Twelve hour days seven days a week. Possibly only six days a week. It rained Thursday night so no one was able to cut Friday so I stayed for two hours and came home. I didn’t have to work today and I won’t be working tomorrow. I get to sleep in which is going to be extremely nice. Working twelve hours a day doesn’t really leave me much time for the internet because as soon as I get home I want to pass out. I’ve been trying to keep up with all of the blogs I follow and check in on the message boards. The one thing I keep forgetting to do is come here and write. I’m surprised I’m here right now writing about things no one really cares about, haha. I just wanted to do a quick post about what was up and why you may not see me too much from now on. On to other things, I bought a new purse last night from Target. I couldn’t find a picture of it on the internet to show you guys but it’s so cute. I love it. I also bought The Sims 2 Double Deluxe and Glamour Life Stuff the other day. I haven’t really had the chance to play it much. I will be doing a lot of playing tonight and tomorrow since I am off work. Oh, I received my Pouchee today. It’s so cute and it fits perfectly in my purse. I will have to take a picture of it later and post it to Flickr.

Waiting Posted by Jessica on May 13th, 2008
I should be starting work again soon. The farmers are supposed to start cutting wheat by this coming Monday. I’m hoping that they call me back. Bryan is almost certain they will. If they do then that means that I will almost three extra months to work than I got last year. I’m so ready to start back at work again. I didn’t realize how much actually liked working and having money coming in each week until I got laid off. That’s the only thing that sucks about seasonal work and working with farming. You don’t work all year round. I love my job but it’s just not enough. I need a full time job and not a seasonal job. I’ve been looking but everyone that is hiring is an hour or so away. I’ll have to wait until we decide to move closer to my parents which is where all of the good jobs are. On another note, I’ve decided to wait until I do get a full time job(which will hopefully be sooner rather than later) to get a MacBook. I’ve come to realize that even though I really WANT one, I do not NEED one. Plus, that is a lot of money to spend on computer when I have a perfectly good computer right now. It’s just too much money to spend when you only have seasonal job. I’m still getting one but it’s going to be put off for right now. I am however still going in half with Bryan on the Nikon D40x. That’s not as much so it’s no big deal. I’m really excited to get it after I had a long chat with Jenn the other day about her Nikon D40x. I can’t wait to get one. And before I go, I got a horrible sunburn on my shoulders the other day because Bryan put tanning lotion on my shoulders and without me thinking I went back and put more on in the same spot. Not a great idea. It doesn’t hurt as bad anymore though.

Tanning, Cameras and MacBooks Posted by Jessica on April 30th, 2008
I can’t believe that tomorrow will be May. I say this every time a new month comes along but time does really feel like it’s flying by. It really does. Not much has been going on lately. I should be starting work sometime in May if they need me back for wheat. I’m hoping they do. I’m ready to get back to work. I’m planning on buying a new MacBook when I start working. Bryan and I are also planning on going in half on a Nikon. Not sure if we will go with the D40x like we originally planned or if we will go with a different one. I think he is set on getting the D40x though. I’m extremely excited about getting a MacBook though. I’ve been wanting one for a while now and I will finally be able to buy it for myself. Which is nice too. The rest of the money I make will be put back after we buy those two things. I’m wanting to save up for a VW Beetle. Another thing that I’ve been wanting for a while now. The river seems to be going down over here. Slowly but surely. Hopefully I didn’t just jinx it though, lol. Oh, we got the pool set up and water in it. It’s getting warmer out again so I’ve been able to swim in it. I was in for about an hour yesterday and about two hours today. Bryan’s mom swam with me today since Bryan didn’t feel like getting in. You can definitely see the tan lines on me now. I plan on laying out tomorrow. I’m as white as a ghost so I really need a tan.
