Apparently, a roll of TP is my new fashion accessory. I've never had sinus problems, till now. I can honestly say I feel for anyone that has had them.
Neti pot!
I had chronic sinus infections years back and was always on antibiotics for it. Then my body decided to be allergic to amoxicillin so out of desperation I tried the neti pot and I have had only one sinus infection in 10 years. That shit works.

Unless you have a deviated septum. Then it just makes everything 50x worse. As my ENT kindly informed me when he took a peek up my nose when I went in for having chronic sinus infections. Apparently, all the rinsing solution wasn't exiting the left side of my face and basically left an ideal breeding ground for bacteria. The right side felt amazing, though.

So my boss and the other manager are both on a beach somewhere sipping mojito's which means I'm the only left to manage the store.
I refuse to let one co worker run over me. I had to put my foot down today and told him that if I see a single thing out of place when I get there in the morning I'm giving new guy his hours and he can just work when my boss comes back. I feel bad but this guy has been at this job the same time as me and he's still acting like he's new. I shouldn't blame him because he gets away with doing nothing and still has a job but I'm not about to handle all this extra crap I have to deal with for 5 days PLUS his crap.
So, long story short for who ever cares to know, I didn't sleep last night because he woke me up just to tell me the toilet was clogged. Great. Not only that he hung up on my face. Awesome guy!
I told him today NOT to call me unless it's really important because it's hard for me to fall back to sleep once I wake up and it's selfish of him to call someone at 11:30 when they have to be up at 5 without GOOD reason. Right? THIS BASTARD JUST CALLED TO TELL ME HE'S NOT DOING HIS SHIFT REPORT BECAUSE IT'S COMING OUT WRONG. WTF. WTF. WTF. I TOLD him if anything happens just leave a note and I'll handle it when I get there.
I'm just so tired of complaining about him. He's a selfish prick and there's nothing I can really do about it. I'm the one who deals with him. My boss will say 'Tell him this and this' and I just facepalm because I know nothing is going to come of it.
And on a totally opposite note my dad is a nervous wreck and it's starting to bum me out. The reason I moved back home from Arizona was because my mom got sick. She stopped working shortly after I moved back and thankfully she's better now but is having a hard time finding a job. Sooooo my dad wants me to pick up the slack. Fine. He asked for rent so I start paying it (he hates that I call it rent but we both know that's what it is). Anything he needs all he has to do is ask and I'm there....but my dad isn't the best at talking to me. Once again I find out all this stuff through my mom. He's freaking out because he wants to know how much I make and most (if not all) of my money should be coming to keep the house up.
It's like he expects me to know magically when extra money is needed. Oh and he gets PISSED when I go somewhere for vacation. Not to my face of course but I know. I'm doing the best I can and it's never really good enough. I moved back here to help and that's what I'm doing....or at least trying too. We are FINE but he can't see the big picture (I thankfully got that talent from my mom) and instead of coming to me for money he's running around getting other people in our business.
It just makes me so sad that the only time my dad really talks to me it's about money. I guess it's better than being punished like back in the day. He's a great guy though and I feel bad even being so grrrr about it. I'll be alright. I just know that every single thing I do is gonna get him upset. The festivals, the vacations....these things that keep me sane are just a dagger in his heart because "How can my son be so SELFISH" I feel like a dick. I'm not gonna lie. He doesn't understand how un happy I am here and that these vacations are keeping me sane.
I go to a very small all women's PWI in the south. So there are very few black/african-americans (and other minority groups) and events that are appealing to some of us. Well my college finally hosts a party that had that appeal. (Yeah!!!) It was fun and we even invited our neighborhood HBCU (historically black college) to come so it was live. Since we had a big turn out, majority from the HBCU, there were a lot of black people were on campus. Everything was cool.
Rewind to the next day and I'm running late for a movie date with a friend and as I'm walking down the hill, I hear two white girls a couple feet behind me say, "I'm glad we didn't go out last night cause there was that black party. I don't want to get raped by black men. Hahaha"
I was completely livid. I really could not believe my ears of the level of foolishness that just came out of those two girls mouths. First, rape/sexual assault is not funny and it will never be funny. Shut the quack up. You're an idiot. And the fact that these girls attend a school where we discuss these topics and ideas of racial equality, feminism, and rape culture but had the audacity to make a joke, just blew me. Secondly, the stigma towards black men is getting out of hand. A black man has the same potential of sexually assaulting someone just as much as a white man or any other ethnic group. I'm so tired of some people viewing black men as monsters and not human beings.
It's upsetting to hear these comments because some people have this fearful image of my dad and brother. They would never do something so horrendous. Not because they're black but because they HAVE FLIPPING HUMANITY AND KNOW NOT TO DO THAT. And to think that someone would assume that they and all black men would rape someone because of their skin color is quacking ridiculous.
I really wished I knew who they were and had the time to correct their ignorance on the spot because I refuse to sit by and say racial remarks about other people.

I know my troubles don't come close to comparing to others but I'm a big baby and my tooth/mouth hurts. So I'm going to cry about it in here. Going back to dentist on Thursday....i'm expecting a second root canal. Bye bye money.

My goodness! Did the warranty on your teeth run out? Sorry dude.

I went for years without issues (and under good insurance through my parents). All of a sudden after getting my own, crappy insurance (which is more of just a discount than real insurance) I have all these issues pop up. I can't stand it. I just want a week without mouth pain lol

I feel you. Tooth pain is terrible. I am on antibiotics right now to take down the infection before I have a root canal next week. I'm maxed out on my insurance, so I was trying to wait until it rolls over in July to make an appointment, but I finally broke down and went in last week because I could not fathom the idea of going another three months with that pain. Had a crown put on a different tooth last week, the root canal next week, and then more work to follow (some can wait until after July at least). When the receptionist pulled up the total of how much it will all cost, I nearly cried.

Yea man....it really messes with me. The root canal pain a few months ago was terrible and keeping me up and distracting me from doing anything. This just started to be painful the past few days but when it hits it hits hard. Got some sleep last night but none the night before. Hoping I don't OD on ibuprofen lol

Supposedly, putting garlic or cloves on the gum of the affected tooth can help to reduce the pain. I haven't tried either, though, so I can't say how effective they are. I was using those orajel swabs, but I ended up making my appointment when I used one and the pain immediately came back. Be careful with the ibuprofen for real though. A couple years ago, Josh took a ton of Motrin for tooth pain, and he ended up in the emergency room with gastritis. Not fun at all.

Thanks....I had people telling me to gargle/swish around liquor on the area and that temporarily would help on the last one.
Only been a couple days with taking ibuprofen and I'm sticking to the general rules on the bottle. I just know it's been a pain the last day or two. May ask my mom if she has any prescription pain killers she can spare and take one of those tonight or tomorrow.
You're just too young to grasp how stylin' I really was. All the boys wanted to do me when I was 5. Actually the girls did too. My haircut was confusing.

I'm not going to make it back to the farm this year...
the past month and a half has been a challenging bummer. last month my parents were out of the country on vacation, something they never get to do. I was working in Philly at the time, relatively close to home for me. one of my sisters was watching the house and the animals. I got a call before work one day telling me she was in jail and I needed to get home if I could because the animals were alone. I worked that night and planned to go there the following morning. we got approximately 12 inches of snow overnight while I was at work. I ended up in a minor accident on the way back, disabling my car on the side of the road. a 2 hour trip turned into 6 hours until I could get help and what not. when I did finally get home I found the dog dead. this was in no way any ones fault, she was very old. she loved the snow and poetically enough I found her in front of the fire place facing the windows. with no car to return to Philly I was obviously stranded. this small fact coupled with continued snow ended up being a true stroke of luck. the following evening my cousin called me. she rents a property from my parents. when she arrived home that evening the house smelled of gas and when she opened the basement door there was a red liquid flooded everywhere. she called the fire department and it ended up being oil. one of the local oil companies dumped over 100 gallons of oil (into a coal bin that had approximately 3 tons of coal in it)into the basement. it was an accident, they were simply at the wrong house but we are sincerely lucky the entire block didn't go up in flames. so... now its time to call my parents and get them back here, the earliest they could make it was Monday. hazmat and the department of health needed to be able to get into the home for the rest of the weekend and an extensive cleanup was well under way. long and short, I called off work a night. after they got home I updated them on the rest of the events they had missed, borrowed a car, and headed back to Philly to finish out the work week.
I ended up returning to my parents the following weekend to pick up my now repaired car. my last night of work that week I took care of a few college students from the same dorm who were clearly virally evacuating bodily fluids all over the damn place... it was a treat. by Sunday I was camping on the bathroom floor, I honestly don't remember ever feeling so sick in my life. obviously work was not happened. the down side of being a contract/travel nurse: it was a pay cut for me, the bennies aren't great and there's less than no security. I'm basically there to fill in holes and needs. I am as invested in the hospital as it is me. so it was no shock when my contract was canceled due to attendance. yes, two days are to many. this put me in a rather odd situation. basically as a traveling nurse I'm required to hold licenses in every state I travel to. because I had previously extended my contract with that hospital until the end of may, i allowed my other licenses to expire with the exception of Hawaii. so now I have a license in pa and ha, but ironically enough there's not one ICU or ER job in either state, which is where I work. the following week after all of this happens my grandmother takes a fall, breaks her leg. my grandfather is already post op from a knee replacement. its funny how things work out the way they do. here I am available to move in and care for them and help out around the house. so... I've been here the past month, solidifying in my mind that I do not ever want to be a stay at home mom lol
I had originally planned to leave for bonnaroo wed morning and solo into camp inforoo. post fest I was going to go back to my camper on the beach in Delaware and spend a few days there before meeting up with my crew to hit firefly... sounds great right? except now I'm bidding on jobs with a two week vaca in June, another no no for the traveling nurse. we only work 13 week contracts so time off needs to be configured for between assignments. I bid on two rounds of jobs with the vaca attached to my profile knowing full well I would not be get a call. yesterday I decided its been long enough, the grandparents are doing much better and don't need me as much. Now I'm deciding between a 14 hour solo ride to TN and back, or a 2 hour ride to firefly in a group. I had my recruiter update my profile without the bonnaroo time off and funny enough got a call from one of the top ten hospitals in the country this morning. job accepted and life is back on track. so no tragedies here just a few life hiccups at the same time and it looks like overall bonnaroo is going to be the karmactic exchange back into the life I love. worse things have happened. sorry friends, hopefully ill be seeing you in 2015.
it also looks like I'm going to be gifting a ticket at some point. I'm certain the universe already has someone picked out for it cant wait to see kismet play out.
itrainmonkeys, I am so sorry you are having such an awful time with your teeth. I so know what you are going thru. Hang in there; it will get better. I inherited crap teeth from both parents. I used to feel like I could not go to the dentist without it costing a fortune (always finding something new), but I've had two cleanings now with no issues (not counting that freak ligament abscess), which is a record for me. Unfortunately I know of no real at home remedies, just get the work done as soon as you can. Remember too, some dentists will work with you on payment plans. Or at least I've been lucky enough to encounter that.
Vw'ndeadchick, GRRRRRR to your past month or so. But how fortunate you were there at your parents when you were. You have a wonderful attitude & I have a feeling things will work out just fine for you. And if you need any help with that ticket, I am sure QSAROO can help you find a very worthy recipient.

GRR! I feel like it's been too long since I've gotten to see you already but you are a fantastic nurse and person all together so you and your vibes are probably needed elsewhere. What other fests/time off will you have going for you?

firefly and peach for sure. I'm trying to get back to ca late summer or even the fall, otherwise I have no plans other than a few shows here and there I actually just said to clyde and Allison I need to drive down to Nashville sooner than later, so ill work that in at some point
Somehow, I managed to leave my iPod and headphones on the kitchen table. I have not traveled without that iPod since I bought it like 2000 years ago. I feel like I'm not wearing pants. This totally falls under first world problems, but that music was going to play a role in this vacation. Oh well. There certainly are worse things that could happen.

A since when do babies cry on air planes????
Definitely a bummer. Hopefully you can stream from your phone or something. Enjoy the vacation!
