Ugh. Someone stole my "Gipsy" Lantern, that I light on her Birthday and on the anniversery of her death. Her Birthday was yesterday and I had it out, and forgot to put it in last night and someone just stole it.
I'm probably more upset about this than I should be. :(
Maybe you could find an etsy seller who could handmake a personalized one for you?

I am so so so so so poor in my new job, it's actually embarrassing, considering I DO have my bachelor's degree. I have so much stress, it's making me sick. I could quit, and get a better paying job VERY easily...except, I LOVE my job.

I work for a University. I'm doing Medical Technology but I'm testing animals that are coming into the Vet Med Pathology center. We've had a gazillion dogs, cats, horses, and cows. But also red tailed hawks, geese, llamas, alpacas, sea lions, beavers...it's really fascinating

I feel ya on being poor with a degree.

It's still snowing here. We got snow then sleet then snow.

What do you want to bet that my work still opens at 7 am? They NEVER let us take a snow day/morning.

I kind of want to start looking for a job at another clinic, but that would be totally stepping out of my comfort zone and that makes me.... well, uncomfortable. I just don't feel like I'm ever going to make much money at my current place and some of the drama is starting to get old (there was an ownership change like 3 years ago, and the people who have been there 15+ years STILL can't get over it).

I just like where I am now because it's small and kind of easy going. I'm comfortable with our policies and procedures but I wish we were more up to date with some things. But it kind of scares me to go somewhere else and have to learn a bunch of new stuff. Like dental x-rays whaaaattttt. Out of the 5 techs where I work, only 2 of us are certified (me and one other) and even though they all have way more experience than me, oftentimes they look to me for answers because I have the "credentials," and I don't really mind that.... but with a bunch of other experienced certified techs, I'd probably realize pretty quickly how much I don't know!

I don't know. The whole thing seems so overwhelming since I don't NEED a new job. I just kinda think in the long run it'd be better for me.

I spend a good chunk of time in /r/service_dogs and basically...yeah.
I was reading an article posted in /r/news and the comments there made me want to shake people - and I don't have a service dog and have to deal with that crap all the time. I can't even imagine. Not to mention the astounding ignorance not even directly related to SDs, like the charming poster who claimed there's no such thing as PTSD. :yikes:

ex-boyfriend has a new girlfriend.

I feel...ouch.

already cut off all communication and fb and everything of course but forgot about instagram and there they were.
He broke up with me and then I broke up with him and it's just kind of a stupid thing that ended with me not even really caring
Which is very very strange because I feel more now than I did when we broke up.

Probably because I'm stressed and finishing school and things are just kind of..I dunno, amiss in my life and he seems to have it together.

I KNOW he was not the right person for me. That much I know for sure, there was no future there.
(It was one of those, I love the way he made me feel/he treated me but I didn't love HIM as a person kind of situations.)

so why oh why do I feel so achy and ichy and weird and wanna cry

I know the breakup was a GOOD thing, I've been HAPPY and fine. The distance, his job, his PERSON, it was just not making us happy

and yet..

Yeah and it predictably summed up to "well people need to learn how to deal with stress!" JFC. Not even going there.

I just need to remember to use Reddit as a source of entertainment and not look at anything serious, especially when it comes to things I'm passionate about.

If it makes you feel better, I'm super into this guy and he's super into me but I want a relationship and he doesn't, so we're not together, which is fine, because that's how it is.
And I keep hearing about him sleeping with this other girl.
And I'm like I DON'T WANT TO KNOW STOP IT WHY.

I am FINE not being in a relationship with him. I get it, it's really not a big deal. We are adults and this happens.

I just don't want to hear about him sleeping with this other girl. Like REALLY REALLY. And every time I hear about it I just want to go sit on the couch and eat an entire pint of ice cream and cry. Which makes no sense because I'M FINE. IT'S OKAY. EXCEPT WHEN IT'S NOT.



MAKE THEM STOP

It's assholes like that who make it HARDER for people with the VERY REAL disorder of PTSD (my father, for example) to get any help at all :( we have made so much progress in understanding this disorder that I can't believe there are still jerks like this

I am SO DONE WITH WINTER!!! I want it to go away! It's MARCH for heaven's sake, and we're having yet another super cold snap, plus like 2 feet of fresh snow. And to top it off, we're running out of firewood. Getting firewood in deep fresh snow SUCKS.

I just want spring, so so badly.
