Quick Update

Just a quick update before I head off to bed...

I am feeling SOO much better. That penicillin must have been what my body needed to get that infection out, because a few days after I started taking it I felt so much better. I still had the ear pain so I went back to the dr (what do dr's know anyway :) ) and he said that because I have been congested for so long, he thinks that it has backed up from my sinuses and went into my eustachian tube and that is why my ears have been in so much pain.. So once again, had me pick up Mucinex. So, I have been on MucinexD for almost 2 months (I don't know if that is healthy for you!). BUT, I have been feeling TONS better. He said if that doesn't clear it up, I may need to go to an ENT to get it checked out because that is something that a family dr can not see. Also, since I have been on antibiotics on and off for 2 months, it has caused a lot of wear and tear on my body. So I will be going to a gastroenterologist this Monday, March 10. I will spare the details on here! :) If you wanna know what is going on, ask me personally! But it has been enough to scare me enough to WANT to go to a specialist.

I applied for 1 of the 2 Data Entry Superviser positions at my work at Myriad. Unfortunately, I did not get the position. That has been really hard for me. Things came round about the wrong way and I was not even considered for the job. So that made it even harder. So I will just work harder so I get a good raise and raise time (July). I am also starting to look for a part time job to occupy my afternoon time. Since I did not get that position, I have been really depressed. In the Myriad HR policy handbook it says that to be offered a promotion, you have to be at Myriad for at least 12 months and they gave 1 of the positions to a person who has been there only for 4 months. So I am trying my hardest to keep an upbeat spirit about it, but it is hard. I am not holding any hard feelings toward this person at all, just the whole situation is hard for me to handle.

Other then that, everything is going fine. It is nice not to be so sick! I was starting to forget what it was like to not have ear or throat pain! I will try to be better at keeping up with this.

Well, I better head off to bed.. I can feel my medicine is kicking in so if none of this makes sense, lol, blame it on that! :)

Good night! Love you guys!!
Love,
Aunt Nicky

Like I said, do something for you...get yourself out and enjoy something. Join the gym and go work out, go to an institute class, find what the wards are doing.....do something you WANT to do. Look up fun classes like cake decorating or something. Do what you want to do. Don't work yourself to death unless that is what you want to do. (A bookstore would be fun!)

and a lot of that consists of money that I don't have... that's why I need a 2nd job... unfortunately... That's another reason why I REALLY wanted that superviser job because it was guaranteed a GOOD raise

If you attend some classes, or find out what the Relief Society is doing, find some of them and get together and go walk around Sugarhouse park. I know that when I went to water aerobics in American Fork, it was the community center and their membership was cheaper than a regular gym, maybe that is an option. I know that our Relief Society has something scheduled for others to do at least once a month and it could be more in an area where there is more single people. Glad your starting to feel better.

I am sorry you didn't get the position. It is hard sometimes when you get looked over. Where do you want to get a job? Make sure that you do it for you though. Good luck. Let me know what I can do to help.
