Hey everyone, i see noone is really blogging anymore like before. I figured I would make an update on myself since I do not talk to everyone on a regular basis.
As most of you know, I am currently working two full-time jobs and am enrolled in eight credits in school. I am also trying to plan my wedding. I working Monday thru Friday 8am-4:30 p.m. at Anoka-Ramsey Community College. Mind you, I am just a temp. THe job was recently posted and someone bid on it and is talking my job. I am sad I will be leaving ARCC after three years of working here, but there is nothing I can do about it since it is a union position and I have no bidding rights. At Aldi, I work 20+ hours a week. I work every Sunday 10 am (open)-7pm (close). During the week I get scheduled two or three days starting at five pm until close. I then go home after that and try to relax after my day.
Lately, I have been super stressed. I had put in a letter if interest for the job at the school that I am currently temping for. I was worried about not getting it, which I did not because there were eligible bidders. So I am not worried about money for rent and what not if I will not be getting 30+ hours at Aldi (which I am sure we can do). I also have been stressing about not having time for homework. I work so much I normally do not get to it until Sunday night after work and it is due 11:00 pm every Sunday night, my classes are all online this semester!! As far as wedding stuff, I sometimes feel overwhelmed with things. I have people asking me all these questions. Pat's mom is trying to help plan, but it really is making it worse. I have not spoke to her or seen her since Halloween. I am scared I will blow up on her for trying to help, even though she is making my stress worse. With all the things that have been going on, my body is FINALLY telling me to calm the heck down... I went to the doctor on Tuesday because I had this weird rash on my arm, and it looked as if it was starting to blister. Turns out I have shingles... we (the doc and myself) seem to think this occurred because of my stress level. I am 21 years old, I should not be working two full-time jobs and struggling to keep up with school (no worries, I am getting B's in my classes). This is a big sign for to start taking things slower. I know things will fall into place; something worse could have happened to me, so I am thankful it is just shingles!
On the good note, I found my wedding dress!! I am very excited!!! You will have to wait until August to see it. The bridesmaids also picked out the dresses they want to wear! The color is called Mermaid, it is a teal color.
How is everyone doing?!?!
