Nothing too thrilling

I have decided to change the photo on my page every week. This week is the waterfall at Ash Cave in Hocking Hills State Park. I have been wanting to go back there so badly lately. Andrew and I had such a great time back in March when we went! It was a great way for us to really get to know one another on a one on one basis since at the time he was living with his 2 roommates and we never really were totally alone with one another. I'd like to go back again for the simple fact that its so relaxing and peaceful there. Maybe a fall trip is in order soon!!!! I am thinking of either going there again or taking Andrew to Pittsburgh since he's never been there. I think it would be a lot of fun!!

I finally found out today that the birth control shot was the culprit of last weeks illness. I looked into some online forums of women who have been on the shot and they had the same symptoms for a few days after the first dose. They said it tapered off after about a week. Some also complained of mood swings, headaches and a drop in libido, but I have yet to experience any of those symptoms and I am hopeful that I will not have any of them. The stomach issues were enough for me! I still have not decided if I will continue with the shot after I get health insurance or not....guess I will see what the doctor has to say about it!

Nothing else too thrilling went on this weekend, the Steelers won, which is great, first game of the season. Next week we play the Browns and they are having a Browns vs. Steelers fans smackdown at Victory Park in Pickerington. I am totally going with all of my gear on, it should be a blast! And Saturday Sarah and Dave (my old roommate from College and her husband) are having a OSU vs. USC cookout so that should be fun. Andrew can finally meet all of my college friends!

After today

Its totally official, no more po-dunk West Jefferson living for Andrew! I am actually excited that he won't be living there anymore, its going to suck for a few weeks with him being in the old house bc there is no privacy, but I am sure that we can manage in the mean time. He still has another week of this training in Cincinnati and should be done by Thursday of next week if all goes well!

Other than that, not too much has been going on. I've still been feeling sick, hardly have any appetite at all most days and its really starting to annoy me. When I do eat nothing tastes good....maybe it is this Depo shot, but I honestly don't know. Erica said this was not one of the side effects, maybe I have a bug, but I can't go to the doctor because of lovely 90 day probation at work....my insurance kicks in on December 1st!!! That seems so far away! Today I tried to eat a bagel, but again didn't taste good, but this Tim Hortons coffee is alright.....lol

Well this weekend hopefully will be alright....I'll probably wait till Monday to write again!

Haiku Friday!

So I am going to attempt this again in the hopes that its better than last week!

Andrew has been gone
But he will come home today
Weekend go slow please

I hope when he moves
It is what he really wants
Home is his heart now

I know its shorter but I can't think of anything else that's been going on worth writing about! And yes I finally get to see Andrew either tonight or tomorrow.....I am actually excited for him to move back home. When they move into the new house in 2 weeks he gets the whole upstairs!!! Private entrance and all so that should be nice!

Okay....

So I finally found a cute background that I like thanks to a link on Caitlyn's blog....so let me know what you think, now I am going to try and make everything else look nice....well at least attempt to do so....

Sorry for posting like everyday almost this week....I've been a little lonely and bored with Andrew going out of town for work. We don't get to text all day and therefor I have nothing to do at work except sit around until someone gives me something to do!

I have also been ill since about Monday, I think I might know why but I'm not sure. I have a constant stomach ache and hardly any appetite, even for foods I love. At night like around 8pm I start to feel really really hungry and then when I try to eat its just like nothing tastes good. The culprit? Well Andrews sis in law gave me the Depo-Provera birth control shot this weekend. She works at an open-door OB/GYN clinic and snatched some for me. I had a scare about 2 months ago and didn't need that to happen again! I have not been on any kind of pill or whatever for a good 6 months so maybe my body is just freaking out a little...idk and I have never done this shot before. I kinda like it though, no periods, it lasts for about 3 months and you don't have to worry about taking a pill or changing a patch.

So enough sharing about my birth control....since no one probably cares about that....haha. I really have nothing else to say. Andrew comes home for the weekend tomorrow afternoon. I am trying to convince him to come see me tomorrow, even though I will be with him all day Saturday helping him move. What can I say, I've missed him!!! But my gas tank is more full from not driving out to West Jefferson a few times this week :)

Rollercoaster

So lately I must say things have been looking up for me, not that I'm trying to brag or anything, but there for a while I was really down and bummed. It took me almost 4 months to land the job I have now, my boss at my old job was not the nicest to me when I told her I was leaving, and she has not contacted me since I left.....whatever, her loss. School was on hold because of money and my dumb lack of motivation to finish and graduate, but thankfully that's gone by the wayside as well. I did have Andrew at that point and he has def. changed my life for the better and it was good to have his support when all that was going on. He has really motivated me to be a better person, to finish school, to save money and to just let go of the dumb things that bother me. Then I finally get a good job, salaried with benefits, paid time off and the works. I finally start to feel settled then things begin to erupt at home again.

I wish I could afford to move out....I honestly don't know how much more I can take. Its not that I hate my family, they just get bent out of shape over nothing. Most of you that know my mom know that she is a neat freak and is constantly on edge about the house being clean. My brother is in that moody late adolescent phase and he and his girlfriend fight constantly, creating turmoil within our house that has nothing to do with us. I get yelled at for not helping out, yet last night I made dinner, cleaned it all up, then went to visit my grandparents and that still was not enough.....like honestly, what the hell!

Now I don't know when Andrew and I will be able to move in together, which is fine, I know it will be okay for me to visit him often and I'd much rather make the drive to Westerville then out to West Jefferson.....its just more familiar to me. At any rate, I know that its now my turn to be totally supportive of him and what he needs to do and I just need to suck it up and go with it.

Once I get some debt paid off and get more settled with my job/school schedule in a few weeks I can see where I am at and see about moving out. Just keep me in your thoughts and prayers that I stay sane after all of this because I honestly don't know how much more myself or anyone in my family can take at this point!!!
