Surgery went well. Am home safe and sound, just not really up to writing much. Dell is coming tomorrow between 1 and 5 to fix my laptop, so that's another plus.
Anyways, just thought some of you might be worrying... *hugs* Now back to Survivor I go...
For those of you who are writing friends:
My surgery is tomorrow morning. I'm going to do another run through tonight, then I'll be out of things until Friday or so. I should probably add in that my laptop is on the fritz too. I have an email into Dell, should hear something from them soon, but in the meantime, I'm using my mom's new laptop when she doesn't need it. So yeah, if we don't see much of me, this is why.
Anyways... Nerves suck. Teeth suck too.
After tomorrow, they should both be done.
I am a A Heliotropic Dragon!
Hey, I took the http://dragonhame.com online Inner Dragon quiz and found out I am a Heliotropic Dragon on the inside.
In the war between good and evil, a Heliotropic Dragon tends to walk the fine line of Neutrality....
When it comes to the powers of Chaos vs. those of Law and Order, your inner dragon walks a fine line between Law and Chaos....
As far as magical tendancies, Your inner dragon has the ability to conquer the world of magic, but it will not be easy....
During combat situations, whether by spells or by claw, your inner dragon will do whatever it takes to get the job done....
Instead of scales, Heliotropic Dragons have a thick hide to cover their body. At the early stages of life, the Heliotropic Dragon is green with red speckles that resemble blood spots. When fully grown, the dragons color changes to any number of variations of violet, but predominantly they have a deep, reddish purple color with streaks of azure blue and magenta.'
This unusual skin type also gives them an unusually sleek appearance and allows them to move with greater speed and freedom both in air and under water. These Dragon's are known to be highly competitive.'
They often meet with other dragons to compete with each other for sport. NOTE: A few small villages have been destroyed by being so unlucky as to be in the path of a speeding Heliotropic Dragon taking a shortcut to gain an advantage over it's competitor. Heliotropic Dragons are well known for their protectiveness, but also are known as loyal friends and allies. They make true friends rarely, but those friendships that they make are well chosen and long lasting.

This Dragons favorite elements are: BloodStone and Valerian Root
Anyways.. Stuff...
Surgery is in one week. Yup, one more week until they finally take all of my teeth out and then I get the falsies... fun.
Kellen is doing wonderfully, getting bigger every day I think. His teacher sent home an application for Head Start for next year, which I'll be working on tomorrow as today shall be a homework day I think. I'll have to find copies of my paystubs for the last year though, which I think is a bit ridiculous.
As for the other stuff, Todd and I are still doing quite well. Kellen goes back and forth between calling him Todd and calling him Daddy. I'm just letting him enjoy it, and not really saying anything about it, though I refer to him as Daddy Todd just to keep that little detachment there.
So yeah, that's life... *wanders off to do something or other*
Today seems a good day for updates, since Kellen and I both stayed home sick today. Little guy's got the ickies, and I just don't feel right. So we've been laying around all day.
I've started at my new store, and I like it. It's just taking some serious getting used to. It's a lot bigger, and it has a fuel desk for the big trucks too. But for right now, I just hang out on the registers or in the MTO area.
As for my personal life... One of my coworkers, from my old store, he and I started talking on here since we weren't working together anymore. We just really started hitting it off, and now, well, now we're seeing each other. Though we aren't rushing anything, as his divorce isn't final yet. We're just enjoying each other and taking things easy. No reason to rush anything. Though I have to admit, he understands me incredibly well. We get each other on a basic level that I've never had a guy understand me on before, aside from Michael, and I really like that Todd understands me that way. And that we can talk about anything and everything. Makes things so nice when we can just talk.
Anyways, my sick butt is ready for a nap... I'll see y'all around....
*toddles off*
Well, things are looking a little better today. I still feel pretty down, it's like I'm losing a family, but I talked to my new boss on the phone today. And she's willing to work with me, giving me 6am-3pm 3 days a week. It's not as many hours as I was guaranteed, but it's only a 2 hour difference, and I'm willing to take a guaranteed 27 hours a week if it's a consistent shift. That really makes things a little easier. Now I just need to wait until I think my Uncle will be home and then give him a call, see if he can hook me up with a ride home, and maybe even a ride to work on occasion...
So things are looking a bit better. I also got asked out on a date last night, for sometime next week... Course, I've known the guy for like 20 years... but he suggested maybe we catch a movie or something, once I kick my cold... And I think it might be kinda fun.
As for Ben... well.. he and I are casually dating. We agreed that we majorly rushed into things at the beginning, got caught up in the excitement and all. So we're seeing each other, only not exclusively. And I am ok with that.
Today has been a sad day. I was called into work this morning, worked 9-3, then went in for a meeting with the District Manager.
She told us that, effective January 3rd, one week from today, the store I work for will no longer be in operation. We've all been offered positions in other stores in the district, but man, it sucks. Our store is like a family. And now we're going to be split up. There were a lot of tears and a lot of hugs going around. I will likely be moving to the travel center about seven miles away, and probably working things out for me to have a consistent day shift schedule, 3 days a week, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. I can work some weekends, but those three days, I'd need to be on 6am-3:30 or so. That way my mom could drop me off on her way to work and my Uncle Greg or my Daddy could give me a ride home. I could work some weekends, but those three days really would be easiest. I have to find out what we can do though.
So yeah, we're all sad. And the entire town is in an uproar. A few of our employees can't keep their mouths shut and now the entire town knows. Apparently, there have been phone calls going into the office and into the store left and right tonight.
Yeah. Majorly down tonight.
So once again, things are nice and complicated for me.
At some point in January, I will be having surgery to remove all of my teeth, including the one remaining wisdom tooth that is still impacted. So many of my teeth are broken, and the rest aren't much better, that removing them actually makes the most sense. I'm not really happy about having to have it done, but at least I'll have a nice smile again.
Ben and I are... on the outs, I think. We aren't broken up yet, but I really don't think we're going to last very long. He treats me well, he just is thoughtless and careless far too often. And I really am just not seeing us lasting past this winter. The only time he seems to really want to be with me is when he needs me to cash a check for him or when he wants laid. And that's getting old really fast.
I have other reasons, but they aren't pressing ones. They are more of the reasons why I didn't want things to get too serious to begin with. Kinda hard to want to be serious with someone when your heart belongs to another, and you know that it's belonged to that other since you were 16.
Kellen actually wore a suit!
EDIT: For the record, as I stated in my comment, that is NOT Carl. Carl hasn't even seen Kellen in nearly two years. That is Ben. I know there's a resemblance, but so far, it's a minor one. If I ever see more than a minor resemblance, I will have to walk away cause I can't go through with that again.
Updates: Life is good. Michael and I are friends, first and foremost and the rest is way way on hold. Mainly because I've started dating someone else. Who treats me very very well.
Other than that, things are about the same. But I got this in an email today, and because I strongly support women having options to make their own choices, I'm putting it here. http://www.hillaryclinton.com/action/fda/
I don't agree with everything they say, but I do support giving women a choice in what's best for them, and offering the pill over the counter is NOT a bad idea. I personally think that the otc option would present another choice, allowing women to do what is best for them and their families.
