Sweet Catastrophe

so overall, the surgery went fine. i got there at 7 am, surgery wasn’t until 12. wtf? rude. no official word yet, but the unofficial word is fibroadenoma which is a benign tumor. whatever it was, it’s gone i hope! when i got there wednesday, my dad was there. that definitely added to the tension of the day. he was being an ass for real. it only got worse when it was all over and he finally found out i was living with ryan. jonathan made it that much better by letting the water get shut off which didn’t really bod well for me since my reasoning behind leaving brittany’s was stuff getting shut off….thanks jackass. that ass had me picking up my laundry off the floor the night after my surgery. thanks jonathan! way to be selfish.

anyway, i’ve been sleeping a lot. ryan’s been taking REALLY good care of me and spoiling me. we’ve been watching a lot of scrubs. i gave ryan one of his christmas presents yesterday–a zippo lighter with
ryan went to work for a few hours last night and then this morning, and this morning willow had a cat fit and ended up slicing the palm of my hand open (an inch and a half long) and i hit myself in the chest trying to get her off me. it really freaked me out and upset me so i cried for a good twenty minutes. finally took some more pain medicine and passed back out.

i’ve been having to wear a sports bra which hasn’t been too comfortable, but i need the support. i haven’t worn a sports bra since i was like 12 so it’s just been awkward.

can’t think of what else to update about….gonna go wash and re-wrap my kitty wound. betting ryan is gonna freak when he comes home and sees me all bandaged up lol.

so my pre-op yesterday was really upsetting for me. i actually got to read everything the dr wrote up about the lump and saw all his comments about how he didn’t think it was a cyst and all that fun stuff so i got upset thinking about what it could be. not to mention they took a metric ton of blood so my arm was hurting for the rest of the day. that’s done though.

today the internet got hooked up. so we had planned to upgrade the service to “online max” because ryan liked the idea of a faster connection and it included home networking so we could have all our comps hooked up. well, i was in the mediacom office twice discussing everything and made it overly clear that we were upgrading to online max so that we could get home networking. the technician shows up today and it turns out that they can’t offer home networking in valdosta because they were having problems with the routers catching fire. after calling customer service i found out it’s actually a problem in all of georgia and that mediacom has switched hardware providers but out of their order for like 30,000 routers they’ve only been sent like 40….so they’re currently not offering the service here. so after a fairly quick convo about being screwed over on the deal and the rep also realizing i had been overcharged as well, i’m now getting $50 internet for $9.95 a month for the next year. the guy told me that they’d call when the networking was available in our area again but that if i were to already have a wireless router by then, then oh well, i win ’cause it’s much cheaper that way anyway. he actually cracked me up when he was saying all that. it was kind of like he was speaking from some monster corporation going, “okay ma’am, you win. we lose. have some cheap services, please don’t be angry with me anymore.” after that things got a little rough for a while ’cause then we had to figure out how to get ryan’s computer hooked up and he was freaked about having to pay for a router and network card for his comp and not being able to get as fast a connection as my computer, etc, all valid concerns. when all was said and done he finally found a router and network card for a really decent price and he got it all set up and currently his connection is just as strong as mine =)

so i have to be at the hospital at 7 am. hopefully i won’t be there too long before they take me back. the longer i’m sitting around the more tense i’ll be. as of 12am i’m not allowed to eat or drink anything until after everything tomorrow. ryan took me to mori tonight mmmmm steak and shrimp and fried rice. damn it was good. i’ve never desired a glass of water quite this strongly though. but i know it’s just because i can’t have it.

i’m still pretty much terrified. i’m worried about all the little complications that can come up during any kind of surgery. and i’m worried about my panic attacks. and i’m worried about what the lump could turn out to be. but at least i get some good drugs.

the move is still pretty much going one step at a time. it’s driving me crazy, but oh well! lol

okay so you know in the beginning of Sweet Home Alabama when he takes her to tiffany’s and has her pick out her ring? yeah i totally lived the geek version of that tonight! ryan had me meet him at best buy and when i got there, he had me pick out a computer!!!!! so now i have a new computer that has way more ram and memory than my old computer could ever dream of having, even with memory upgrades. i’m still in shock. at first i really didn’t want him to do it, but i understood why he wanted to and that he had fully thought it out and everything and then when we got down to picking one, it turned out that we got a great deal that got him a 17″ flat panel and an all-in-one printer so i feel a lot better about it since he got some cool upgrades in the process. and *squee* we have a mail-in thing that we’ll get windows vista for free when it comes out. i wasn’t planning on getting it, but i really wanted to play with it. i’m stoked about that.

so we hooked everything up and networked with my old computer so i could move some stuff to this one and ryan left once he got that started for me and he said when i went to hook up the net that it probably wouldn’t work without the setup disks but i should try. so i did, and yeah, it totally didn’t even prompt me to go through any setup crap. it just connected automatically. no questions asked. i’m pretty damn thrilled about that too.

the move is going smoothly enough. brit is being pretty normal. she goes back and forth from being cool with everything to kinda not talking to me. i understand though. it’s not like i expected her to be excited about this or anything. it’s all gravy. i think we’ll come out just fine in all this and i’m really happy about that.

i have my pre-op tomorrow. which reminds me that i need to go get all my paperwork out of the car, but everyone is hanging out right outside our door and i’m being anti-social….well that and i have a new computer…screw human interaction! i have technology!

okay i keep forgetting the crap i wanted to talk about so yeah…

finals are over! i think overall i did fair. notsogreat on bio, average in french and okay in english. we’ll see on monday i suppose. i sold back my books today and promptly used half the cash to buy a cute as hell vsu hoodie. catie and i got matching ones ’cause we’re awesome like that.

every muscle in my body is aching from all this moving. and mother nature decided to be a bitch and invade my life a week early. ugh.

surgery on wednesday. i’m okay with it and terrified at the same time. i’ll just be glad when it’s over so i can stop worrying about this being something more. and even though i took like a 3-hour nap earlier, i think i’m going to bed.

the move officially commenced tuesday morning =) mom and roger got here around 10 and we actually got all my furniture in the trailer in one trip.everything went pretty smoothly. there was a little snag trying to get my dresser upstairs (there’s a corner…) but it was taken care of pretty quickly. and i actually went to work–yay for me being responsible and not calling in like i wanted to! i actually only made one trip out to the house but i cleaned out the kitchen and got all that stuff. i kinda felt bad that i wasn’t really leaving brittany with much, but i got over it ’cause she’s had time to start working on getting stuff. there are things she could’ve done to prevent all this or even just make things a little easier on herself, but she didn’t. i can’t worry about that for her. i’ve got enough to worry about on my own.

i pretty much desperately need a shower now so i’m gonna get on that….in my new apt. =)

today was my last class this semester! actually, it was pretty shitty since i only went because i’ve missed a lot of days and 1) we didn’t do a damn thing and 2) she didn’t take attendance. oh well, my conscience is clear and it gave me a chance to get started dropping things off at ryan’s. tomorrow’s the big move!!

FadedJade23: holy shit krizit. i’m moving in with my boyfriend tomorrow.
FadedJade23: when the fuck did i get old enough to do that?
kriSti m 14: I DONTZ KNOW
kriSti m 14: yesterday u were eating dirt…

kriSti m 14: jade’s gonna be livin in sin tomorrow!!!
kriSti m 14: my hero

haha! enjoyable indeed! i love my krizit! i’m having the worst time finding a shelf for my bathroom. it’s tiny and i basically want something like those plastic drawers with wheels, only i need them in color ’cause i don’t want to put any feminine products in a clear drawer in a downstairs bathroom….i finally broke down and spent 40 bucks on one that i didn’t like but yeah, it’s WAY too big. *le sigh* that’s okay, i’ll get my $40 back thank goodness.

i’m still waiting to hear from PayPerPost about getting this blog approved. i really hope it comes through soon ’cause they’ve had some great opportunities lately. i think once i get settled into the apartment and we get my computer hooked up to the internet, i’m gonna finish moving all my old entries to this blog. i really didn’t wanna take the time to finish doing that until it was approved, but oh well.

stayed at ryan’s last night. gah. i really hate jonathan right now. ryan and i’ve been bumping heads like crazy over all this moving stuff and it’s all because jonathan won’t switch rooms with us. that’s okay though, we sat down last night and got it all figured out. i worked a short shift today and this random guy gave me 5 bucks. it happened so fast i didn’t really have time to realize i shouldn’t take it but yeah, oh well. that’s like getting paid for an extra half hour of work! woot =) after work i ran by catie’s to pick up boxes. she’s giving me the boxes she used to move and then i’m gonna give them to heather. i don’t really need a lot of boxes so it works out perfectly. i’ve already decided that i’m just gonna do what i finally did at the end of moving last time. i’m just gonna buy some thick trash bags and chunk stuff in those. i just got some boxes for some of the breakable stuff. mom and roger are coming tuesday morning with a trailer to help us with all the big stuff. i’m really excited about getting it all done. it’s crazy, but for the moment i’m actually looking forward to taking care of a messy, boy-infested apartment. i dunno. i’m weird, i know this.

i’m still waiting on payperpost to approve this blog. they keep saying it’s a duplicate of my lj and list an email for me to use if i’m currently switching journals. i haven’t heard anything from that email though. annoying.

i’m gonna go enjoy my mike’s hard cranberry lemonade and go to bed. i have to work 8-5 tomorrow *tear*
