My Journey

Work is crazy.

Course work is crazy.

Had job interview, now awaiting the verdict.

Apartment/house hunting.

My mom is sick. Got my hands on an at-home covid test. We'll see if she has the dreaded virus (and well me too).

And now I'm hungry.

Have a good weekend everyone! 

YUP.

FINALLY.

Got the offer today. I had so many "noes" so it was shocking when I finally heard a "yes," lol.

I start October 4th :)

I have an interview coming up with another company. I'll still do it, because the recruiter was gracious enough to get me the designer interview after the illustrator position didn't go through (turned out the company wanted someone local to Texas in order to capture the "Texas spirit," lol).

Hemorrhagic Ovarian Cyst...either that or I have an endometrioma. The radiologist couldn't differentiate between the two due to "bowel gas," lol. Well, I've been extremely bloated, gasey, constipated, and been experiencing a whole lot of diarrhea. Not to mention pain, fatigue and breast tenderness.

So my remaining ovary is probably fucked.

I'm worried this will lead to another salpingo oophorectomy. I don't care about being sterile, I worry about having another open procedure with a long recovery time. This is the absolutely worse time to be going through this. If my surgeon had removed everything six years ago, I wouldn't be going through this today.

The report recommended I get a follow up transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound in about 6-12 weeks to monitor the situation. The only thing I can do is to wait and hope for the best.

My mom decided she wasn't going to have the Lithotripsy to remove her kidney stones. Ok, that's fine, it's her decision, but at least take control of your own health and follow up with the doctor about the lab work. I have enough on my plate, now I have to make sure she's good too? It's not old age, she has ALWAYS been this way.

As a kid, I had to schedule and attend my neuro appointments ALONE, because she (and my dad) couldn't be bothered to take responsibility for their own kid's health. So I'm not surprised when my mother can't be bothered to check her own stupid fuckin messages and act like an adult for once and take ownership of her health. 

I love my mother, but she makes me so fuckin mad sometimes. Why do I always have to be the parent in this relationship? And this is one of the reasons why I don't want kids.

Maybe one day she'll surprise me. 

LOL

Nah, I'll be waiting forever.

Since the last post, I've had two phone screens and one actual interview. The interview went great! Too bad I'm not going to get the job. I mean I was shocked when I got a call (yes, they actually called me, lol) to schedule the interview, because I don't have a major skill requirement. Sure I'm learning, but I don't think they want to invest so much time and money getting me up to date on that skill set.

Eh, just got to wait and see what happens.
