A Weak Week

I have had quite the week.

I decided to take part in a clinical drug trial for a drug (VA111913) that is supposed to relieve symptoms of Dysmenorrhea. The worst listed side effect of taking the drug is nausea, which is something I have to deal with even if I don't take it, so I figure its pretty safe. Beside possible new treatment for my monthly pain, I'll also be getting paid $950 for participating!!
I also somehow managed to strain my shoulder. I'm not sure what I did but it hurt bad enough on Wednesday night that I only slept for a few hours. The feeling is similar to when I strained both of my wrists playing church ball. It's made worse though by the fact that my shoulder hurts constantly, I think because gravity if constantly pulling it down. It's still really sore and moving my arm is pretty difficult, but I'm hoping by this next week it will have fixed itself!

No luck on the job front this week. I'm still looking for a night job/graveyard shift to pick up in addition to my bookstore job. If I had a car it would be SOOO much easier to get one but I've got to work with what I've got!

One thing that helped me smile this week: My favorite chocolate donut!

Me Again!

Hey there. It's been a while. I just thought I'd update this.

I'm in the process now of switching man cave locations to a bigger room in the basement where I'm staying. Its a little less cave-y than the other one. After I cleaned out all of my boxes into my new room, I slept in the little alcove under the stairs...and woke up int he morning with terrible cramps in my legs, proof that sleeping like a hamster was better in thought than in actuality.

I also have started watching a friends chihuahua on the weekends while she works three different jobs. His name is Moose and he is the most lovable snuggly little puppy ever!!

(This was our serious picture lol)

I did get a job that for now is giving me about 7hrs a week. I am still looking for another one. Hopefully one at night so I can keep it while I'm in class. Speaking of class I'll be starting at the University of Utah in May, and I'm really really excited!!! I love love love being here in Utah!!

This is an early birthday present from a good friend that I got a few days ago. If you recognize who this is you'll know why this molding of his face (real not sculpted) is pretty much the best present EVER!!!

Til next time.
