What the HELL is Wrong With Me?
I have no clue. I was watching ear fungus videos on YouTube and remembered my post here about my little adventure with Otomycosis a few years back. So, I read through my blog and realized I have been neglecting it! So, here I am. I have since moved, been back in college for over a year now (A's in all but math), and have been uploading videos to YouTube. Maybe that's why. The world will never know I guess. Oh, yes. Little Debbie can still go and fuck herself.

Upates, updates,
I haven't posted in a while.
Where do I start? Since that horrid experience with the Cash Store, my direct deposit has kicked in. So, they can kiss my ass.
On a sad note, my darling dog, Isis had to be euthanized back in July due to complications from her diabetes. She is sorely missed by a lot of people. My thanks to my parents and aunt for caring for her during her illness. I just wish I had been able to catch it when she still lived with me. R.I.P. dear Isis! We love you!
After working at my company for 2.5 years, I have decided to make something of myself and go back to school. In the past, I have been a lazy, uncaring student. But I am a big girl now and big girls make A's and the occasional B!
When I went back to my community college district, I had to be readmitted on a probationary status because my GPA was below 2.0. My advisor was the worst possibly advisor anybody could ever have. He pretended to care but deep down I know he didn't give two shits about my success, or anybody's for that matter. His job seemed more like a chore to him. Maybe he should try manufacturing.
Anyway, back to me. My first course was a computer literacy course that was required in lieu of a test. Since my GPA was so horrid, I opted for the class. Naturally, it was an A. The next two courses were Composition I and Developmental Math 097. Of course I passed! I got an A in the Comp I class and a B in the math. I am so proud of myself as is my full time student boyfriend. I wish I had been this serious 10 or more years ago!
I haven't exactly made up my mind about what career I would like to pursue but I am leaning a little towards occupational therapy and a little towards large animal vet. Not a clue! I can do pretty much anything I put my mind to.

Why The "Cash Store" Is Bullshit:
I have known about the "Cash Store" for a while, but I have been avoiding using it because of their outrageous interest rates. I needed a small cash advance to keep my cell phone on so I could receive phone calls from potential employers. My desire to change jobs is stronger than my desire to keep my dignity, at this point.
After reading their website, I took with me, all the information I needed to get a cash advance: Recent bank statement, pay stub, driver's license and a blank check. That's all it said I needed. I get to the "Cash Store" location and am greeted by two bubbly women.
"Welcome to The Cash Store, do you have a free and clear title to your car?" said the plump one on the left.
Free and clear title? Umm, lady, I haven't even told you what KIND of business I need to do with you. Already asking for the title to my car? WTF? That's like walking into a blood bank manned by a vampire.
"No, m'am. I just need a cash advance." I said politely.
"OK! That's just one of the products we offer." She said wiping the drool from her chin.
So, you're salivating over a 2004 Kia Rio5? Even if the title was free and clear, I wouldn't dream of putting my only car on the chopping block for a $100 cash advance.
I gave her all the information I was told I needed and filled out my application. She then made copies of my pay stub, bank statement, blank check and drivers license. Then ...
"I'm sorry, m'am, but your bank branch needs to be within 30 miles of here. Are you military or something?" she said mockingly.
"No, I am not military, my parents were and your website didn't say that."
"Our website doesn't say much of anything. But you need to have a branch within 30 miles in order to proceed with the cash advance. Sorry! I'll just keep this information on file." She said.
Umm, excuse me? Did you just say you would be keeping my personal financial information on record when you won't even give me a small cash advance because your company can't crawl on its slimy belly into the age of online banking to do transactions? Does your company even have a bank branch within 30 miles?
"No. I'm sorry, but you can't keep my personal financial information on file if you refuse to give me a cash advance. What's the point if you are denying me because my closest bank branch is located in Central Texas?" I'm irritated, at this point.
"Sorry, but we have to keep this information on file, just in case you come back." She said with a smile.
"I don't think so. If I'm not going to be able to do business with you, there is no reason you should be able to keep that."
Frustrated, the other lady called her corporate office and said I was refusing to let them keep that information because I they can't do business with me.
DUH!!!
She was even more frustrated after she hung up the phone. Her corporate office told her to give all of it back to me, copies and all.
Will I be going back to the "Cash Store"? Hell no.

There's A Strange Click-Clack In The Back Of My Sacroiliac!
I should have posted this a month or so ago. I have NO clue how I did this to myself. But, apparently, I hurt myself waaaaaay down on my lower back. The pain had been going on for years, off and on and aggravated by my periods. It was bearable, but one weekend, it became not so bearable. I finally got tired of the pain in my ass. That feeling of being skewered with a hot poker from back to front. I thought it might have been an ovarian cyst or maybe my appendix was rotting away. I was, thankfully, wrong. After a quick visit to the local minor emergency clinic, I was referred to physical therapy. The first therapist I saw was convinced it was my SI causing all that pain. After a few short tests, she put me on the table, twisted me and I heard a big POP! OH MY FUCKING GOD that felt REALLY good! I got a second opinion from another therapist at that clinic. He agreed it was my SI. So, after a month of going to physical therapy twice a week, I am almost pain free. Next step is to get a new bed. My old queen size double pillow top mattress is not doing me any favors.

I Can't Sleep
I can't sleep because there are too many things running through my head ... and my back hurts. Maybe I'm thinking of all these things to try and take my mind off the pain in my back. It doesn't hurt when I lie down, most of the time. But, I know it will be there when I stand up. Worst of all, I am dwelling on the fact that my beloved friend and massage therapist is no longer around to call. The man who laughed with me after I butt dialed him, walked in to the bathroom of The Magic Time Machine and all he heard was toilets flushing.

Keep In Touch
I'm not very good at keeping in touch with people. I get busy and lose track of time, or I just want to hide in my apartment like a hermit. I regret this aspect of me.
On September 4th, a friend of mine died from a short battle with cancer. I didn't even know he was sick until a few days before that. I hadn't seen him or talked to him in well over a year (or more) for no particular reason. Not that I was mad at him. Time has a way of going by very fast. I loved him very much and I would give almost anything to be able to give him just ONE more hug.
Don't let time slip by. Enjoy the time you have to spend with your loved ones.
