Zzzzzzzzzzzz...

This cold-- I think it's a cold, I'm not quite sure-- is killing me. I can't breathe. I've had to use my beloved Advil Cold & Sinus, the occasional squirt of nose spray, and a puff or two off my inhaler to get by lately. This, for me, is a big deal. Usually, I only use my inhalers once or twice a year. At first, I thought it was just allergies. Both my son and I were stuffed up, sneezing, etc. Then my daughter was showing symptoms. A few days later, my mom started up. Another few days after her, my father started up. It has made me suspicious. Today has been bad. I've been having these moments were I nearly pass out where I'm sitting/standing. Kinda freaky. I need to drag my ass to the doctor....eventually.

Took the boy to the dentist again. He had to get his cavities filled. He freaked the hell out when he saw the big ass needle. He tried to rip it away from his mouth and I had to hold his hands down. The rest was cake. He's been proudly-- insert some rolling eyes here-- showing off his brand new fillings. They also sealed his teeth. It was very nifty. They applied three products and then applied a light source to it. The light hardened the seal. It looked very much like LCNs (Light Concept Nails). I was discussing that with the dentist and she agreed. Pretty much the same thing. Very nifty.

Ok, my alarm clock seems to be working once again. Still haven't named it. Her. I've decided she's of the female persuasion. But my cell phone's been acting loopy. Not a surprise. It's been more of an inconvenience than anything since I've gotten it. I've actually had to get a replacement after it got messed up from playing a game. Yes, a game screwed it up. And, apparently, this was a known issue for my model of phone, but they never warned anyone about it. They also never charged me for replacement. But I've had it with the phone lately. The antenna is shit. I only got it 'cause it was a camera phone. I've got my eye on another one. It has zoom, but I doubt I can handle the price tag that comes along with that zoom. It's only for use until my contract runs out anyway. I plan on switching service providers.

I'm slowly heading into job hunt mode. I can't fully dedicate myself to it yet. There are other things that need my attention. It took me until today to realize how much my confidence had been shaken by my previous employer. That woman did a number on me. I've been hearing about karma biting a rather large chunk out of her rather large derriere and, at first, I'll admit that it thrilled me a bit. Now, I feel kinda bad. Not so much for her, but the other people who work there. I liked them and they deserve better. I'm less bitter towards her now and more ambivalent. There seem to be a lot of salons looking for nail technicians. This is sad news. I hate, hate, hate doing nails. I'm thinking about going for an assistant job at a larger salon or sticking to a smaller salon. I'd love to do color or aesthetics. I had fun learning microdermabrasion and wouldn't mind doing that again. I'm just glad that I've regained some confidence and I'm looking forward to getting back into a salon.
