Moving

Hello blog readers. I hope your week has been going much better than mine. Stress free.

On Sunday, my boyfriend's and my landlord told us that the house has been foreclosed (which we already knew) and said we have until Friday to know for sure if we have to move. He told us that he was going to get everything straightened out and everything was going to be fine and then that same night, started moving stuff out of the house. That is when we started packing everything up. Our landlord should have given us a 30 day notice, not a week's notice. He should have told us from the very beginning about losing the house and that we might have to find another place. But no, he didn't say anything up until the last week. He is a nice landlord, but what he did was screwed up.

Today has been the most stressful, hot day and on top of that I'm working 4 nights in a row. Which doesn't really give us a lot of time to move out by Friday. Hopefully, our applications will be approved for the place we are wanting to rent and we can move in by next week. In the meantime, I'm going to be staying with my dad while all of this is happening.

I think I'm done ranting. I don't think I even realised I was. Sorries.

Well, other than the latest, nothing much else has been happening. I am pretty excited though to move into a new place and have a fresh start. Decorate everything nicely and have a place you can kinda call your own.

I still haven't heard from my uncle or my cousin lately. I hope everything is ok.

Have a great night.. or day

Tendinitis

So about a week and a half ago, I sprained my wrist at work. No big deal. Got a brace and kept it secure and didn't move it as much. Today, while at work, a little old lady fought with me while I was trying to help her get ready for bed and she twisted my hand even more. Suddenly, I couldn't move my wrist at all and even closing my fingers just a little hurt like hell. I called my boyfriend and asked him to bring me icy hot patch and some Aleve. He took one look at my wrist and told me I had tendinitis. I pulled a tendon in my left wrist and now it hurts like a bitch. Excuse my language blog readers, but I'm in too much pain to care about it, really. I just hope it all goes away really soon and I can use my hand without pain.

I'm so injury prone, I'm not even surprised I sprained my wrist in the first place. Although I've no idea how it happened.

In fact, every time I get hurt even the tiniest bit, I shouldn't be surprised. I've always been injury prone, and I don't think that it's going to change anytime soon.

Puzzles

Puzzles. And more puzzles. Mostly puzzles at work. That's when I love to do them. Ever since I started my new job, I have been obsessed with putting puzzles together. I think that I have done over 10 puzzles. For some reason, putting together puzzles entertains me to a certain extent. It passes the time as well as makes me think logically. Plus, puzzles is a fun word to say. Try it. Say puzzles. :D

Anyways, less about puzzles and more about something else. Although I really, honestly don't know what exactly I'm trying to talk about. It's my first night back to work this week and I work till Saturday. And then I get three days off and work four. Working four nights in a row is really tough, especially on very little sleep, because my body won't allow me to sleep past 5 hours. I want to sleep more, but our bodies have a different brain altogether.

It's also that time of my life when I miss my family back in Russia. I keep wondering why my uncle hasn't written back in a long time. I emailed him and told me to let me know when we can skype, but he hasn't replied :( I just hope that everything is ok. I worry all the time. I want to see my great- aunt. I want to hug her and kiss her. And tell her thank you for all the times that she took us away from the orphanage to her house on vacations. It's been too long since I have talked to her and I'm starting to feel a little depressed about that. I just hope that I can see her soon, and talk to her sooner. I miss her.

11 Things You Don't Know About Me

RULES:

i. Post eleven facts about yourself.

ii. Answer the eleven questions provided by the person who nominated you and then create an eleven-question set for the next group of nominees.

iii. Choose eleven people to nominate and link them in the post.

iv. Let your nominees know they've been tagged - and no tag-backs!

 

Ok, so I was nominated by a blog reader, Rebecca Jane to do this. Sadly, I can't choose eleven people because I don't have those eleven people to choose from! So here go my facts

1. I'm Russian - but I'm positively sure that you know that from my blog. Yes, I do read, speak and write Russian. In case you were wondering.

2. I have lived in the United States for 9 years and before that in Russia for 11. 

3. I want to have at least 10 cats, if not more. But I'm prettttyy sure my boyfriend would get crazy. lol

4. I hate elevators. Mostly because I'm afraid of heights. And mostly because I'm afraid of getting stuck on the elevator or the elevator falling. 

5. I have never, ever gone to a public school until I started college. 

6. I have worked as a caregiver for about 7 years. I want to be a lawyer. Huh... Wrong line of work I'm in.

7. Over the years I have wanted to write a book, and have always started one, got writer's block and never got back to it. It's happened with at least 5, maybe more different books that I started to and never finished writing

8. I hate the sight of blood and gruesome stuff in reality, but watching it on movies doesn't bother me. Weird? You tell me!

9. I have always and probably will always be super obsessed with spelling and grammar being right. Call me a perfectionist if you must, but it annoys me when people are oblivious to how they are spelling. 

10. I'm a very fast typist. I can type 65-80 wpm. Depends on how my day is going :D

11. Fact: I am a chocoholic. But I hate peanut butter. Always have and always will. 

1. Is there a specific way you eat Oreos? I love dipping my Oreos in milk and munching on them. 
2. If you could live in any era (say Victorian times, 1930's, 1500's, etc.), what would it be? I would love to live in the Victorian times, but I would definitely rather live in the Narnian time.. sadly, it doesn't exist. 
3. Why and when did you first start blogging? Honestly, the reason I started blogging is because I never could talk about my feelings in person, so I thought why not try it over the internet? The people that read my blog don't really know me so it's easier to say stuff. I started blogging in January, although I have had a previous blog that I let go.
4. If you had to eat only one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be? It might make me fat, but it would be chocolate and anything to do with chocolate. Hey, some chocolate is actually really good for you. Dark chocolate. 
5. What is something you have too much of that is taking up too much space? My makeup. I really need to get rid of some of it... Don't judge me, everyone... well most everyone wears it!
6. What is the longest time you have gone without sleep? Oh boy. That's a tough one. I would say more than 24 hrs at one point of my life when I don't remember? I vaguely remember having to stay up, but don't remember why, 
7. Coffee or tea? Can't I pick both? Well, it isn't for you to decide :) 
8. If your favorite celebrity sat next to you on a plane, what would you do? I would start a conversation about something other than their life, because I'm pretty sure most everyone asks them about it!
9. What is your favorite song? Least favorite? Favorite song? That's not fair! I have so many!! Least favorite song is Somebody that I used to know. Ughh I hate it!!
10. Describe the funniest thing that's happened to you in the past year. Funniest thing? Hmm. Let me think here for a minute. You know, I really can't recall any funny moments at this particular moment. Mostly because I have been up since 2:30 in the afternoon of July 19th. And I won't get to sleep till I go home at 6:30 am. 
11. Do you prefer cooking or crafting? I prefer cooking, but if I'm in the mood for it, I will do crafting. 

Ok, any blog readers reading my blogs, I have 11 questions for you. If you are reading this post and would like to join in the fun of posting awesome and random stuff about yourself, feel free! I'm not here to judge you or look down on you. That's not my business and shouldn't be anyone else's how you live your life and what kinds of things you love to do. We are all different people, with different creative minds and beautiful souls.

1. If you could, would you adopt a pet monkey? 

2. Would you rather watch a movie at home or at the theater? Why?

3. Girls: High heals or flats? Guys: slippers or boots? You don't have to answer the specific question. If you girls like boots, then be it so. I, myself like boots, high heals and flats. 

4. IF you could travel anywhere in the the world, where would it be and why? 

5. What language would you love to know? 

6. Would you rather own a private jet or a super car?

7. If you had a billion dollars what would you do with the money?

9. What is your dream job/career?

10. If you could be anyone famous from any era, who would you be and why? I know I would love to be Audrey Hepburn. Mostly because I look so much like her. At least that's what my mom and my boyfriend tell me.

11. Ocean or mountains?

Sorry, peeps, I'm not quite sure how to make my page look normal like it usually does and right now, I'm so tired, I'm not going to care about it! P.S. I can't wait to go home and cuddle up with my awesome boyfriend before he has to go to work. Ehh that's life.

New, news and more news!

Hello and a great night to you, my dear blog readers. It's been too long, and once again I apologise for not having written in a long time.

I bring great news! As of about a month ago, I have a job!!!!! Super exciting! I work as a caregiver at one of the retirement centers where I live. My shift? Graveyard. You're probably thinking, "oh that's a hard one." Wellll.... to tell you the truth, I love it. I like working nights better than working during the day time. Reason? I'll give you three! I like to do things during the day time. It's wayyy too hot to work during the day time, and... drum roll please..... I get to sleep during the day time!!! :D But seriously, I do like working during night time a whole lot more than day time.

Another great news is that I've been with my amazingly, handsome boyfriend for almost 6 1/2 months! And I am happier than I have ever been. I have conquered my stress and depression battles. I have a job and in the fall, I will be going back to school and hopefully will be taking psychology. I am looking forward to that. Maybe I can also take a Creative Writing class. My teacher from WRT 115 told me that I'm really good and should take his CW class. I told him that maybe I will  :)

In yet other news, a few days ago, I got a nose piercing. I've always wanted one, and finally got it! :)

I am at work as I write to you. So, I will say goodnight to you all and hopefully I will write again very soon!
