Candy kisses on my tongue

Today I worked a lot. I was on my feet for seven and a half hour. I didn't even get to sit for lunch. I get into work and find out that Naomi won't be in until 11. She didn't show up until noon. So of course who gets stuck helping the doctor with epidurals? Me. It's really not hard, but it makes me queezy to see Dr. Leff stick needles into peoples backs and necks.

Thankfully, because he was running behind (like he always is), I didn't have too many to assist. I worked on charts all morning. There were so many to file this morning it was ridiculous. Then I had to pull the charts for tomorrow morning. Rosie asked my to file the MRI reports away with the correct charts and then I filed a few other things like prescriptions and approvals in files too.

I swear there was like ten times the amount of mail today. Absolutely ridiculous. We ran out of big envelops so I had to fold the insurance claims papers in threes to fit them into the smaller envelops so that the address could be seen. I have so many tiny paper cuts on my hands from stuffing envelops.

I learned something new today, thanks to Rosie of course. Susan has yet to do anything, but Rosie always finds something for me to do. I don't mind because I like Rosie. She taught me how to make new patient charts and what papers go in it and what slots. It was pretty fun. I enjoy putting things together like the charts.

I finally ate lunch around 3. It turned out that we ordered Chinese, which kinda sucks because I had that last night. I ate pretty quickly because I still had a lot of work to do.

Finally work ended, but the rain started. I had another lunch/dinner date with Kriz. We went to Alice's Teacup for some good scones and tea. I had a really good time. I just can't wait to get paid! They do a two-week pay, which I'm not used to.

On a random side note, I'm really starting to like the leggings and a shirt style. I've been wearing leggings at home with a long shirt. I usually wear just a shirt to sleep in, but I can't walk around the house like that so instead of wearing pants (because it's been too hot) I've just been wearing leggings. I think I pull it off. Ugh, I have to get up and go to work again tomorrow. I don't want to.

Dinosaur Sprinkles

Today is my dad's birthday. He's 85 years old. I hope he has many more birthdays to celebrate. I'm still broke and have no money. I haven't gotten paid yet. So instead I made him a mixed cd. Two weeks ago I had him listen to Michael Buble's version of Feeling Good. I also made him listen to the original by Nina Simone, because he said he didn't know the song. He was wrong. Once he heard it he recognized it. He listened to both versions and told me he liked Michael Buble's version better. I sat with him and we had a conversation music and artists he likes. Sadly he told me that he isn't very fond of the Beatles. I'm a big Beatles fan. I asked him to give me the names of a few songs he liked. I also asked him if he likes Peggy Lee. I really love her voice. I kept track of the songs that he mentioned and decided to make him a cd for his birthday. There was only one song that I couldn't find. It's called Life's What You Make It by Henry Mancini. I looked really hard and couldn't find it. I finished the cd last night.

When I was downloading songs last night I decided to download He's a tramp by Peggy Lee too. It's the song she sings in Lady and the Tramp. I love it, haha.

I got to sleep till 1 today. It was so amazing. I haven't slept that late since I started work. I probably would have continued sleeping if my mom hadn't called me. She called to let me know that she had bought the cake mix.


Originally we were going to have a big barbeque and invite some distant family memebrs of his. However, with the weather being all crazy and then having to find places for everyone to stay we decided not too. We had a small dinner this evening, and his daughter Eileen came over later for cake and coffee. Next Thursday we're taking him out to dinner to celebrate.It was all supposed to be a secret from him.

Brenda got all pissy this afternoon. Apparently she didn't know that Eileen was coming over around 7 and she had already made plans. She started yelling at my mom saying that it was rude of her not to tell her the plans and that it makes her feel left out. 1. This whole thing was a last minute decision. I didn't even know until yesterday when my mom asked if I'd bake a cake. 2. She never tells anyone her plans, so how was my mom supposed to know that she was going out. She's being a hypocrit in saying those things.

I got annoyed at her bitching and I told her to just push her plans back a little. No one said that she had to stay the entire time that Eileen was here. She just gave me a look and didn't say anything. Fuck you too. She ended up doing just that. She left after she had a piece of the cake so I don't get why the hell she had to make a big deal out it. My mom said that she has to be the center of attention and I can see it. She tries to make everything about her. It's annoying. There are days when I just want to smack her. I don't though. I rarely talk back because I don't want to get into a fight, but I don't like it when she starts yelling at my mom for no reason. I really hate the way she treats my mom. I hate the way she calls her mother, in a very condescending way, whenever she wants something or thinks my mom should do something.

Anyway, we had dinner. Hamburgers and mac and cheese. It was yummy. Brenda went to her outreach meeting and I sat downstairs hanging out with my mom and dad. I brought down my camera and started taking pictures of the cats and my dad. Mom didn't want any pictures taken of her.

Gizmo and Checkers got into a fight, like usual. I tried to get a picture of it, but I got the aftermath instead. I don't know why her tongue is just hanging out like that. I got my mom in the picture on accident.

For some reason whenever I try to take a picture of Gizmo she looks like she's glaring at me. However, when Kriztille took pictures of her she was a camera whore and was preening for the camera. So not fair.











My dad decided he wanted a picture in his Marine Corps hat so I took this one. After the picture he looks at me and says, "so where's the cake?" I just looked at him and tried to pretend that I didn't know what he was talking about, but he said he had smelled it baking. Mom said that we couldn't have any until Eileen got here. So we talked for a bit, got annoyed at all the news on MJ and switched to tennis. We watched the match between Haas and Chilic. It was pretty intense and had to be suspended because there wasn't enough light. It started raining and thundering so mom went to wait out by the door for Eileen and my cousin Kelly, while dad and I watched Jeopardy.

We finally got cake and coffee once Eileen and Kelly came. It was good cake. It was funfetti with vanilla frosting and dinosaur sprinkles. There weren't enough sprinkles that came with the frosting and for some reason my mom had dinosaur sprinkles, so we just used those. Everyone liked the cake and I gave dad the cd. He said he liked it and was really happy with it.

Happy birthday daddy <3

Tea Party

Today was absolutely beautiful. The sun was shining brightly and it was nice and warm out. I went into the city today with Kriztille and Joi. It was a fun day. We ate at Je Bon for lunch and then walked about the village for awhile. We found this pretty interesting organic/recycle type store/cafe. They had a lot of nice stuff, but it was kind of expensive. They wanted twelve dollars for a small thing of nail polish. There was this snazzy women's clothing store called Love Song. They had some super cute things, but also very expensive.

I realized just now that I drank a lot of coffee today. I had a cup when I woke up this morning. I had a small iced cinnamon dolce latte while I was waiting for Kriz and Joi. I had another iced latte, this time vanilla, on my way home. I probably won't be sleeping tonight.

We stopped at this bakery called Veniros (I think that's spelled right.) I got a mini strawberry cheesecake. It was so yummy. There was this grumpy old guy though. He got mad at us because we wanted to sit down, but apparently we ordered take out. He was mean.

We went to Washington Square and Kriz and I dipped out feet in the fountain. It was blissful. The water was cool and refreshing. I wished I had brought extra clothes because then I would have ran through the water. We got wet though cause this guy decided to dip his head under one of the spouts and it shot towards us.

It was a fun day. Good food. Good weather. Good friends.

On a side note. I got a text from Kyle today saying Michael Jackson died. A lot of people are upset by it. I get it. He was a good performer, but he was also a pedophile and he dangled his baby out of a window. He's not a saint. I'm sick of people talking about his death and making facebook statuses about him. To be brutally honest, I don't really care that he died. I care that Farrah Fawcett, who battled with cancer for two years, died. She was a good actress. It's a bit saddening that it seems (at least to me) that no one even cares that she's gone or cares that she had to fight against cancer for her life. Anyway, I'm done with my mini rant. I just wanted to say that.

Just call me doctor.

My feet are killing me. I've been standing for seven hours. I get to work and start on the charts. While doing that Susan comes in and tells me I'll be assisting Dr. Ji and Dr. Leff with epidurals all day because Naomi didn't make it to work. Dr. Leff kept joking all day that I was now known as Doctor Amanda. Epidurals are freaky things. I'm not big on seeing people have needles pushed into their necks and/or backs. I wasn't happy to do it and I was a little nervous, but what could I do. To add to that the damn fluroscope machine weighs more than I do and I'm supposed to be able to move it around for the doctors. Yeah, right. I have to step on it with two feet just to unlock it. I mostly did that today at work, which meant that I stood for everything. I didn't even get to sit while I was working on the mail. All the chairs were taken and I couldn't get a stool because the doctors were busy with patients. I didn't get to sit until lunch, which was around 2.



We got Chinese today. It was so good and filling. I had chicken with broccoli and white rice. I was super full I couldn't finish it all. By 3 I was back downstairs assisting and on my feet again. I find it funny that when I was interviewed Susan said assisting was one of the last things I was going to learn. I still haven't learned to work the phones, or how to process the co-pays and stuff into the computer, but I can assist with epidurals. Ironic. The day was long, but it went by faster because of all the work I was doing. Each procedure is about 45 minutes. I got out of work late because I was still assisting. It was around 515 by the time we finished. The office closes at 5, but Rosie was still there because of the last patient. I decided to help Rosie finish up her work. I didn't leave work until 530ish.

I'm so happy I get to sleep in tomorrow. I might be hanging out with Jon too. He just has to get back to me on that one. It's supposed to be around 90 tomorrow and I really want to go to the beach, but I don't have anyone to go with. My normal beach buddy is in Maryland for the summer. It makes me sad.

Miss Alice and the White Rabbit were here.

Work was long. I was done with charts and filing and stuff by twelve. I pretty much sat there for the rest of the day watching the clocks. Sometimes I had some random thing to do. I helped out Rosie when I could. I learned how to make appointments. I called a few people. Overall, I didn't do much. At least yesterday I was busy with things to do.

Anyway after work I walked to 54th to meet the White Rabbit (Kriz) at Hale and Hearty for dinner. It was pretty good. I had Root Beer (no it does not taste like tooth paste) and a BLT wrap. It was super nice out today. I brought a sweater with me this morning cause it was cold when I left, but it was sunny and beautiful out. We walked to Java Girl and along the way we stopped at the pet store on Lex. The puppies were so adorable. Most were sleeping or just laying down, but there was this one puppy that was super hyper active. It was cute and tiny. I wanted to take him home, but I doubt that would fly with the parents. Java Girl is the cutest little cafe ever. I love it.

There weren't really any seats, but soon enough a table opened up. There was this trio sitting next to us and they were taking up space and just talking. They didn't even buy anything, which annoys me. There was this notebook that people write in. There were some poems, some people wrote about how much they liked Java Girl, and some were just little stories about their day. I like the idea of the notebook. I think it's really awesome. We wrote a page saying that Miss Alice and the White Rabbit were here. Kriz did a little drawing. It was really fun. Kriz and I want to open our own cafe one day. It'll be awesome, haha. It was a great evening and I'm glad I got to hang out with her.

Confusion.

Yesterday I did nothing. I got my stuff prepared for work today. My mom hemmed my pants. I got extra small scrubs and still needed to the pants hemmed. Other than that I spent the day lounging, being lazy, and watching all of Baccano. It's a 13 episode anime and after watching the entire thing all I can say is, what?! It's really good. I liked it a lot. I was a lot more violent that I was expecting. My favorites are Luck and Firo. But still, it's confusing as all hell. That's mostly due to it being a "light novel" series and the anime is only one part of the whole series. I don't know if they're going to make more of the anime, but I really really hope so.

I went to sleep early yesterday so I could get up for work. Well, early for me anyway. I think it was about 1ish when I shut down my computer, turned the volume down on my tv, turned off the lights and got in to bed. I'm completely convinced that I didn't actually fall asleep at all. My alarm was set for 7. I "woke" up at 630. I didn't feel like I had fall asleep or gotten any kind of sleep at all. I was so tired, but couldn't sleep so I laid in bed until my alarm got off. I got ready and had a small breakfast, some toast and peanut butter. My mom wished me luck and I was off. I absolutely hate the subways in the morning. I couldn't get a seat at all and I had the most obnoxious woman rubbing against me for half the ride.

Work itself wasn't bad. I didn't do much, but clerical work, filing, and "observing", which was me sitting and watching Rosie and Danielle do their work. I did a lot with the charts though so that was pretty cool. I met two of the doctors, who are very nice and one is super cute. I met Laurie, who's in charge of payroll and helps out Susan.

I worked mostly with Rosie, who I think is such a sweet woman. She's just so nice. I love her already. Danielle is pretty cool too, but she's quieter and kind of just does her own work. We had lunch, I don't know who paid for it (probably the doctors) but we ordered out at some restaurant that was near by. It was pretty awful. I ordered chicken fingers and they were barely cooked. The middle was gross, definitely not cooked at all. I couldn't eat it. The root beer I got was really good though. If I wasn't so hungry that definitely would have made up for the chicken, but i was starving. This other girl, Naomi, got the chicken fingers and hers were the same.

I was so happy to have food when I came home. At least coming home I managed to get seats on the subways. I'm so tired already that I just want to sleep now, but it's too early and I have to shower still. That's it really. I think this job will be pretty good. I hope so anyway.

"Look at all the lonely people. Where do they all come from?"

So I was too lazy to post yesterday. I feel asleep super early for me. I think I officially passed out around 1-130. I usually fall asleep around 6am as of right now. But I guess having at get up at 630am will make you fall asleep early. So yeah yesterday I woke up really early (630) to get ready for my interview. When I don't really know where I'm going I like to leave earlier than normal just in case I get lost. This time I left my house around 715 for a 9am interview. It definitely wouldn't take me that long to get there, but just in case. So I get the J pretty quickly and then I think I waited maybe 5 minutes for the E. I got to Lex and 53 at around 810. So yeah, way too early. I had like an hour to kill. So i chilled outside the Dunkin Donuts for about another ten minutes playing Solitare on my cell phone. I'm totally addicted to that. It's pretty bad cause it kills my battery so quickly, but I can't stop playing.

Anyway, I wait about ten minutes and then decided that I should probably start walking to the place then instead of waiting closer till 9 because I didn't exactly know where I was going. Oh, forgot to mention. Monday night I bought these plain black flats, so that I have nice shoes for the interview. First of all I was annoyed cause I couldn't find anything in my size in womens' so I had to look in the kids section. I'm a four in kids. I have tiny fucking feet man. So they're cute shoes and all, but by the time it took me to walk to the J (which is like only three blocks) I already have bleeding blisters at the backs of my ankles. Great. They hurt so bad and they stained the back of my pantyhose. So yeah, I'm not really happy at this moment.

I had to walk from 53 street to 49th and then up 49th to in between 1st and 2nd ave with bleeding, painful blisters. It sucked hardcore. I was so tempted to take off the shoes and walk, but that's kind of gross. It's about a ten minute walk. Not bad at all if my feet weren't hurting from the blisters. I get there and it's about 830, but there was no place for me to just chill. I ring the bell and walk in and tell the front desk girl why I'm there and who to see. I told her I was early so I didn't mind waiting. She told me to take a seat and that Susan had told her she'd be with me shortly. I waited another ten minutes and then Terry, Susan's PA, walks out and then brings me to the office. I'm sitting there and I apologize for being early again and she told me it was no problem.

They start talking about what the job entails, which is only filing and scheduling in the beginning, but that I would eventually learn how to do everything and learn how to assist the doctors. There's five doctors in the place. The main doctor is Susan's husband. Susan is this nice old lady. They were both super nice. Apparently I was the last out of three interviews and she said I was the best. It made me feel good when she said that. She told me that she was willing to offer me the job on the spot if I was interested. I said yes definitely. I got to pick the days I work. They're only hiring for two or three days so I decided on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Then she told me I had my choice between 8-4, 830-430, or 9-5, but that I had to be consistent. I picked 9 to 5. I figure I can get a little more sleep. It's gonna be tough since I'm going to have to get up early, which I'm not used to. I'm going to be getting paid $10 an hour, which is super awesome. I get to wear scrubs, which I'm excited about. I start Monday bright and early, which I'm excited and nervous about because I get introduced to everyone and I hope I don't mess anything up.

Today I had to get up early again, but a bit later. I was up at 10 and was ready to leave by 1015ish. My mom had to stop at the bank and then the gas station before taking me up to Purchase. When we got to the gas station she told me to get her a diet pepsi and to get myself something. I was so happy when I went in and found that they had the huge 99cent arizona iced teas and then I was estatic because they had the raspberry one. None of the freaking stores around me have the raspberry one, which is my all time favorite one. So after that we were on our way up to Purchase. My eyes hurt really bad this morning and I had to keep scwinting (?) for awhile. I think it was because I was still really tired. We get on the Van Wyck and the damn thing is so backed up. My mom gets off and decides to take College Point Blvd, but everyone had that idea so it was just as crowded. It took us close to an hour just to get to the Whitestone Bridge. It never takes that long. We finally get to Purchase around noon, which is a half hour later than I was supposed to be.

Darci and I start heading for Branford. Yay. It took like an hour to get there, but we were surrounded by trees so it was pretty. I saw a sign for Crackle Barrel on the way and it made me happy. I love that place. Branford is such a cute town. I love it and we're going to move there. The houses are so pretty and it's not shitty at all like Queens is. Jenn took us to Common Grounds, which is the coffee house she frequents a lot. I like it. It's super cute. It's up there with the Witches Brew and Alice's Teacup for my favorite coffee/tea places. We all got iced coffees and sat outside talking for a bit. We heading to the beach next. It's not at all like Rockaway Beach. It's so much cuter and smaller. I just love it. We climbed some rocks on the beach and sat up there talking. It was a little scary at first cause I thought I was going to fall off, but I loved it.

After that we drove through the Branford and Guilford and Jenn showed us all the nice places. We stopped at the bakery she works at and her boss Nancy was there so we got to go in. Nancy was really nice. She gave Darci and I a hug and a free cup cake. It was awesome. We drove around some more and stopped at Clinton for the Croc outlet, but they didn't have Darci's size for the shoe she wanted.

We went hiking in this path in the woods. I had the wrong shoes for it. I was wearing flip flops, but luckily I was wearing pants. Darci had on a skirt and flip flops. It was a really cool place we ended up going in this cave and then climbing some rocks. There were some moment when I thought I was going to fall, but it was so fun.

New Haven pizza is pretty good. Jenn took us to this place called Modern Apizza. It was so yummy. We had a large pizza, which is about 18 inches (I think.) We got the onion, pepper, and mushroom pizza. So good! I ended up having four slices. I'm still shocked at that. Normally I can only eat one slice and then I'm full. I think it had to do with me not eating anything all day and that it was so good. I'm so full. Even now, it's like almost 3 am and we ate around 6ish (I think) and I'm still so stuffed. I can't think about food. New Haven apparently makes their own soda, I think that's what Jenn said. We got a pitcher of Birch Beer, which is pretty much Root Beer and it was clear! I'd never seen it like that before. It was sooo good.

We walked around the center of Branford for a little bit, but it was starting to get cold. We left Jenn's around 1030. Darci was driving me home so we decided on taking 95 to the Whitestone Bridge insead of driving back to Purchase and then back to me. We both completely forgot the there's more construction going on during the summer. We were stopped so many times (unnecessarily) and there was so much traffic. I didn't get home until 1230. I feel bad that Darci had to drive back up to Purchase so late, but she said she usually leaves late when she visits her sister. It only took her a half hour to get back up there.

I'm excited. We decided that sometime before school starts, like late August, that Jenn and I are going to go visit upstate with Darci and stay the weekend. It'll be so awesome. So that was my last two days. Another really long post because I can't sleep. Oh well. Night.

In the end, we all give in.

So I gave in and here I am creating a blog. I'm not exactly sure what I'll be using it for. Maybe a place for my writings, or maybe just place to rant. I'm not too sure yet.

I've felt like a bum ever since I came home. I've been home since the second week of May and I still haven't found a job. However, today I got two calls about interviews. One is tomorrow morning at a pain management/physical therapy place in Manhattan. It's at 9am, which means I have to get up so early. The other is for California Pizza Kitchen in the city on Thursday. Let's see how it goes. I'm getting tired of going on interviews and nothing happening. Seriously someone just hire me already.

I'm pretty broke and I feel like I'm just being lazy. I help out around my house when my dad needs something and usually he pays me, but I still feel bad. I'm twenty years old he shouldn't have to pay me.

That's my dad. He's also my gramps. It's a long, somewhat complicated story that I might tell you one day. The gist of it is that he adopted me when I was younger, so legally that makes him my dad. He's a pretty good guy, but he can be the biggest asshole at times. That's also a pretty complicated and long story.

I miss being away at school. It's not really because I don't have any freedom or any of that crap. It's just that it's awkward being home now that Brenda (my biological mother) is living with us. Another long story that I'll tell you about next time.

I'm rambling now. It's cause I can't fall asleep and I really should try soon since I have to get up so early tomorrow.

I have four cats. I really want more, which is evident because I had a dream last night that I woke up with a box next to my bed. In that box were these two really pretty gray/white tiger striped kittens names Sage and Juniper that my mom had given me to say congrats on finally getting a job. See any hidden messages in this dream? My parents would not be ok with more than four cats.

This is Checkers. He's one of "the boys." I think he's close to two or three years old now. We brought him home when he was a few weeks old. He's stupid and weird. I say that with love. He's always running into things and he doesn't lay down he flops down. His way of showing you affection is headbutting you and he's absolutely fascinated with his shadow. He sat and stared at it for an hour one time and would move and then jump towards the shadow cause it moved. I really don't think he's all there in the head, but I chalk it up to the collapsed lung he had after he was just born. He's a good kitten.

This is Romeo. He's the other half of "the boys" (my mom calls them that all the time.) I like Romeo, I do, but he doesn't really do much. He's a fat cat. My dad thinks he looks like a pregnant cat. He's constantly eating or sleeping. Sometimes he plays with Checkers. He is very affectionate though and he has a foot fetish. Whenever I come out of the shower and walk back upstairs he follows me the whole way and tries to rub my feet. It's weird. I don't really get it. He's gonna be two or three, I can't really remember. I got him the same time as Checkers so they're basically brothers. He likes to lay on scratching pads for some reason.


This is Gizmo. She's probably around five or six years old. I'm not too sure. She was already a year old when we got her from the shelter. She's the Queen of the house. She likes to be pampered, but only when she wants to. I've always seemed to be her favorite, because she was pretty anti-social with my parents. While I was at school she warmed up to my dad pretty well. But ever since I've been home she's been more affectionate and always around me. She stays in my room most of the time, even if the door is open and she always follows me around. It's kind of strange because she was never like that before, but I like it. It makes me happy. She seems to be everyone's favorite when people come to the house. It's cause she's so pretty. I think she's the prettiest cat we have. Her and Checkers don't always get along. He gets on her nerves a lot and he's too dumb to realize that he should stop trying to play with her cause she'll smack him. He never learns. She never gives real kisses (licks), but she gives me "kitty kisses" (my mom came up with it.) She gets up in my face at random times and rubs her nose against mine. It's cute. I like it.

This is Kyou (the one on the left.) Unfortunately I don't have a picture of Kyou by himself on my computer. They're all on my external and I'm too lazy right now to get it out. So he'll have his own picture in another post. Kyou is my baby. I've had him since he was eight weeks old and he's now going on five years old. He used to be a tiny thing and he would always jump up and lay across my shoulders. He's a pretty big cat now and he still jumps up and lays across my shoulders. He doesn't realize how heavy he really is and that he's too big to do that, but I don't really mind. He was my very first cat and I love him very much. He's very shy and skittish when people come into the house. He still sleeps with me at night and always wants my attention. He's totally spoiled. I always held him when he was a kitten so he's always jumping on me. He gets mad at me when I'm at school. I can always tell because the first day I come home from school he ignores me and runs away from me. Then the second day he's all over me again. He thinks he's king, but Gizmo beats him easily. They randomly get into fights, I don't know what starts them, but he never wins. That's pretty sad for a cat his size, but I still love him.






We've always had stray cats in our backyard. This one female cat just keeps giving birth in our garage. There's a hole in the back of it and she hides in there and that's where she keeps them after she births them. The little gray and white one has been there the longest. She's gonna be popping out kittens soon, or at least that's what my mom says. My mom has affectionately names her Bright Eyes because of her pretty blue eyes. She no longer runs away from us and sometimes comes closer when we talk to her, but she won't let us close enough to pet. I think she's such a beautiful cat. I don't know who the male cats are. They just showed up a few weeks ago, but it's because of Bright Eyes.

This post is long enough. I should get some sleep, but it's difficult. I'm not tired and I have four cats stretched out thinking that this is their bed and therefore they leave me no room. What's a girl supposed to do? Wish me luck on my interview tomorrow. Night.
