Dear Papa 6/5/18

Not a whole lot has happened in the last month. My cat has been vomiting once a day for about two weeks, and that's annoying. We assume it might actually be an issue, because he’s not doing it for attention. We don’t give him any feedback when he vomits, I just clean it up and we move on from the event. We don’t punish him for it either because he can’t help it. I took him to the vet yesterday and they said nothing looks or feels wrong. But it could be something with his intestines, and recommended an ultrasound. $315! I said I’d consider it if it got worse. But that’s a lot of money for probably nothing. They also said if they find something they'd like to biopsy it. Soooooo I'll super wait. That could run $800-1000/ I love my cat, but he isn’t a human child and I don’t have that kind of money to "maybe" find something.

Other than that, hummmmm
I change positions at my job this Thursday. I feel like I’ll really hate my new position and have already asked my super that if I don’t like it if I can change back to what I was already doing. He said I could. But I think his lying.

And as you know I have a date set for the other job I’m looking into. I’m getting kind of excited and super nervous about it now.

And the boyfriend and I are leaving on June 17th for Mississippi. I’m excited and nervous about that too. I hope I make a good impression with his dad... And a little with his sister. Mostly his dad.
Unfortunately we're leaving father’s day. So I won’t be able to celebrate with you. :( Just remember the play is that day and to take mom.

I don’t really have anything else new; maybe we can set up another dinner. Be it just you or you and other members of the family.

Dear Pops 5/14/18

The doc appt all worked out. The place I ended up getting a "new patient" appt at, ended up being part of the same place I was previously seeing but they had split off from the group that got bought out a while ago. So when I went in they were able to skip the yearly woman's exam and gave me the shot I needed... But I had to set up the other appt for two week out... so tomorrow... Bleh.
But it needs to get done sooo its getting done.

Went to sign the medical form today, the form that basically authorizes them to look at the records that my recruiter has sent them.
hopefully it doesn’t get sent back again, cuz my recruiter said he ended up sending it three times before they nearly accepted it and set it back for the form not being signed any longer from the edits and sends.

He was quite confident that it would be approved and that I should be able to set up a physical very soon. So he gave me the next part, the background check. 15 pages! That’s a lot of information!

So that’s that. *rolls eyes*

I went to the gym, and I don’t have a great time, but I don’t have a terrible time. The boyfriend says he was in a meeting in which a TI said that she only wished that new recruiter could start out day one being able to run 1.5 miles in 26 minutes. Today I ran just about 1.15 minutes and split it with walking .35 of it, getting 1.5 in 20:30... So I think day 1 I should be off to a good start... and then have 7.5 weeks to shave 5 minutes. (Well really I have all the time between now and then to shave off more time anyway, but I’m still a little proud of myself.)
I just have to get better at push-ups and sit ups.

Dear Papa 4/30/18

I got a call this past Friday while I was sleeping from my lady doctor, letting me know that they no longer take my insurance and cancelled my appt for Tuesday. Fun, right? The appt was to continue to prevent babies, and now they gave me 2 days to look for a new person. So I spent some of this morning before work, and some of this afternoon after work doing just that. Most places don’t keep my shot on hand and would need to set up another appt a week out from the first appt and I would have had to go to a pharmacy to get the shot myself and bring it in to be administered. LAaaaaaame! THEN the last place I called had an appt avail for tomorrow!! YAY! They said they would possibly be able to squeeze me in an early morning appt for my shot later in the week so that I’m still within my grace window.

Famine is doing wonderful. His ears are always hot and that concerns me a little, but he is a huge love muffin.
I didn’t clean a HUGE section of my room yesterday but I did throw out a lot of old documents that I no longer need. When I stop by tonight after dropping Sister home I’ll take down the recycle can, since it is quite full and Brother may not be able to carry it down without dropping it.

He went shopping today to get last minute things in preparation for dinner tomorrow night. I still don’t think he is as excited about it as id like him to be, but he agreed to it, and hasn’t cancelled dinner. That’s a start and it’s all I really ask for now.

The other job has given me an update. They said that the way they turned in the medical got rejected and now they have to hand write answers in a package, and then also type up the same descriptions into the system. They say they’ll have it done this week and should be able to set up the physical next week.

On a good note, work sucks less and more. They took away the double pay days. We are no longer allowed to 7 work days to get double pay on Saturdays. I spoke to the director of production and he says it’s not coming back either “because it’s bad business”

BUT my super wants to put me in a new position that he thinks I’ll be prefect for working alone and outside the fab away from everyone all night... On top of that position he does want me to come into the fab 3 times a night. Once at the start of shift to complete the starts for when they are released at 12:30, basically make sure they are in boxes and ready to start processing. And the other two times to load/unload a sink just to it doesn’t stay idle all night. The other people in the same position across the other shifts are not being asked to do this. And if I’m able to manage my time and get these things done without too much assistance my supervisor said he would spin it and make it sound like I took the initiative to do these tasks on my own and have done them consistently for however many months. In turn when ranked against my coworkers of the same position it’ll have me placed at the top which would make me look better and would assist in getting me better raises or promotions. **IF I stay** I haven’t told him or anyone at work my plans of the other job in looking into. But I feel less incline to burn all the bridges if the main job doesn’t work out and I haven’t been able to find something fitting after. Don’t worry Papa, I plan on going back to school if the other job progresses and finding something in the field if we part ways.

dear daddy 4/25/18

Dear Daddy,

I'm happy. I know you worry and you have all rights to. It’s been your job my entire life to make sure I haven’t killed myself. Good job you! I haven’t. I’m also not my sister. So I don’t think you need to spend so much of your mental energy on the amount of worry towards me.

He has sort of asked me to move in, and I told him we need to put a pin in that and bring it back around when we get closer to 9-12 months... But he also doesn’t want me to take me cat home. They love each other.

He does enjoy going out Monday nights, but does like them to be planned out.

I know you'd like to hang out with him more, and I’d love for that to happen as well, but I don’t think he's quite there. I think he's still getting use the amount of affection I give him. Currently he is really OK with holiday, special occasions and PLANNED dates of dinners or outings. I hope that over the next six months he'll be more inclined to initiate invites instead of me asking him about them. But of course you and mom can talk about it and plan a day to invite him over for dinners. (I think Sunday afternoons/ nights on the days he isn't working would be best for him.)

If my current path of changing careers takes hold, I’m sure he’ll want to keep my cat, but I’m not sure if I want him to quite yet. I think I want to give him a reason to go over and visit you guys! :p

There is a chance that he and I have talked about where he may revert back to being a grumpy old man who likes his alone time… and depending on where the job takes me and how much he reverts it could be the end of us (which is why I don’t want him to have my cat. That would be annoying to try to get back if I’m not even around to fight for him, ya know?

Currently I still don’t have a physical yet, so the career change isn’t progressing as I’d like it too. BUT it is giving me more time to get into the gym and get ready. So in other news when we went to the gym the other day I was able to run more than walk 2 miles … in a horrible time of 30 minutes. But I haven’t been able to do that at all yet. So I thought it was good progress. We are also up to 4 sets of 15-20 reps of flutter kicks. Which again when we started I couldn’t even do 5 without being out of breath! Push-ups have no advancements, still can’t do one.

I hope to try to get these updates around to you at least twice a month. Hopefully you still have this saved in your website updates. If so let me know by text. :)
