LL: I have to do First Aid training... it costs so much money. x_x I'm not even being reimbursed half the cost..

It's also offered only at inconvenient times. How do I go about asking my new employer if I can have Sunday off next weekend so I can go for a two day training session? That's the only convenient time I have. I was offered a ride to one next week that's closest to me but I have an exam during that time. My one exam. Ugh.

HL: I did a lot of writing today for the first time in awhile!

LL: My eyes are WEAK. I went for a walk with a friend and it was both windy and sunny, and my eyes could nooooooot handle it. I was like. Openly weeping. It was awful.

@Kiki

Is there any way you can get your eyes checked? This is not good...

I've had watery eyes all my life. They weep when its windy and when there's a sudden temperature change (coming into a warm room from the cold in winter). I also shed gallons of tears when chopping onions and even sometimes chillis. Don't worry about it at all - your eyes are certainly not "weak" just sensitive in different ways to others.

I have watery eyes too when it's windy. They water most of the time. I have eczema which makes it a bit worse. lol

LL: My power bill date changes. Oops.

I mean I never really worried about my eyes, especially since my vision is 20/20. They're just ANNOYING. Thanks for the advice and the concern though!

HL: It's beautiful out! Also I'm going to get to work on editing a real BOOK!

LL: I keep eating too much junk food, which is making my throat super sore all the time. I wish I'd stop! I also wish I had the kitchen space and the energy to make myself a real damn meal.

Oh wow, Kiki! How are you going to edit a real book?

WL: Hey, if I don't get into teaching next year I'm planning on moving to a big city in Canada (or even the USA, but that really depends). What sort of jobs should I look into as someone with an English degree with a minor in women's studies? I keep forgetting my minor makes me more eligible for some jobs. I know there's a lot of volunteer opportunities I'd be very excited for in a big city and being able to practice/access more languages and activities. But I'm just wondering what sort of work I could look into. I might be able to get a TESL qualification over that summer if I don't get in.

I'm pretty much okay with doing anything but I'd like to find something that could potentially build up my resume a little bit. That may mostly be volunteer work. In the end, I might look for a housekeeping job or try and find something as a janitor, but I know it'd be a far better idea for me to do something working directly with the public. I'd love to work in a bookstore but most only hire part-time. That's alright too as long as I find something on the side.

Hopefully I will get in, but who knows. Although it's exciting to think of moving out of the small town life in any case. Whether that means being placed in the countryside in another country or a big city in Canada.

All of you, possibly, like I do, try some eye drops... I have what they call 'dry eye' which is weird as my eyes water a lot, but the OTC eye drops seem to help...

__________________

My eyes haven't been bad since my mystery allergy symptoms last year.. although they still water become it's so darn windy where I live. I use copious amounts of eye drops when that happens though.

HL: I made the random decision to possibly become a florist.

That's actually really interesting, FFF.

I'ver never had super watery eyes.

FFF—a florist! Nice! As for the book editing thing, it's not like I'm going to be editing for a big publishing house or anything, but my boss at the magazine I work for offered the opportunity to work on the book and I took it!

HL: My boyfriend did a bunch of housecleaning! Very nice!

LL: I had jury duty today. Awful. I was there for six hours doing literally nothing, so that eventually the judge could finally show up and tell us we could all go home because the defendant had decided at the very last minute to plead guilty. Awful!

That's cool you work for a magazine!

Yeah, I was just looking up random jobs and then realized you can go to school to become a florist. So I thought hmm, that might be interesting.

LL: My other high school best friend is pregnant.

This is legit a really horrible moment.

Pregnancy is a wonderful, beautiful thing but a child will alter someone's life completely. Young people need to be so very very careful and use protection when enjoying their youth. Your friend now faces very serious decisions. I never judge anyone who terminates a pregnancy for reasons of academic needs/studies or if they feel they are not ready to be a parent. Your entire life and the life of the unborn child are in the balance, I hope she chooses wisely and very carefully. Its a horribly unenviable situation to be in.

Aww, FFF. That sucks, no one should have to deal with pregnancy that early.

Well sorry for being absent because yeah stuff. I've had a whirlwind of a weekend because I somehow ended up making quarterfinals in a pokemon tournament, which meant I probably won't have time to repair my bicycle I use for work. And I just remembered that the next day, during the eliminations, I also have a bike lesson in the morning, during which, wouldn't you know it, I skidded again on the same bike, and the instructor refused to listen to anything I have to say about the bad rear brakes and said it was my technique and that I have an attitude and stuff, and so now I have a new bruise and scar. So I made my way to the tournament place with my bike gear in tow and of course I somehow made it all the way to finals which meant I couldn't repair my bike on Sunday either because by the time it finished, it was evening. Which also means I had to find a way to make space in my tiny net bag of bike gear to fit in the pile of prizes AND a box I accidentally left behind the day before. And to top it off, this morning, I found out that everyone went back to the main office instead of the usual meeting spot to collect our new phones, which meant a cab and wasted cash. Oh, and my new bicycle pedals didn't fit. Screw too big.

My status update in a nutshell. All the highs and lows like low-fat milk.
