So I failed...

Sorry about that. Let's see I'm sick currently. Last week I had the city come to inspect the hell hole we pay $700 a month to rent to try and fight our landlord to fix it. Now we just play the waiting game. I'm going to be honest, I've never been happy to hear someone is getting divorced, but I cannot wait until my landlords' is final and someone decides to do something to help their tenants not the pocketbook they are fighting each other for. Plus they have 4 kids who are constantly stuck in the middle and that's not cool at all. Here's a 3 picture teaser (there's over 40 pics and a complete notice to the Landlord on facebook if you're interested).


The awesome yellow stains that cover ALL my linoleum on the ground floor. Former tenants' had 3 dogs and were 3 single young men... I can only guess what I'm stepping on.






We're pretty sure a small child died in our living room... we were told to put our couch over it.. no thanks!






We have two doors like this... It's awesome NOT!
Courtney asked about weight loss. It's sort of plateaued. Once I switched to night shifts I've started living on chocolate and caffeine, but I only seem to eat a meal a day. I ordered my dress and can only lose 10 lbs or I'll need alterations. I'm weening myself off regular Mt. Dew slowly but surely and will get back on track. I just want to look good in honeymoon pics and not feel like a whale. I've lost more size wise than on the scale. I'm starting to realize that I'll never be happy with what the 3 little digital numbers say, I never have been and just need to feel happy with what I see. My "girls" however seem to have picked up all that was lost in the waist area so I had to order a bigger dress no matter what. Call me a late bloomer I suppose!
Shane has started his new job at For Bare Feet in Helmsburg. We'll be part of the Brown County scene now and hope to run into Mrs. Clowers soon! I'm over at BC HS for anatomy classes twice a week. He's a Network Administrator and gets to wear jeans to work, I think that's a favorite part! Well besides mandatory week off between Christmas and New Year's. That's an amazing feature for any employer to do and impossible to see these days. Everyone I've met over in Brown County talks about what a wonderful company it is and how much they care about their workers and so far so good. I get a discount on super cool socks and am now considered a "local" discount when shopping over there, I love it :)

I work Tues-Sat 10:30p-7a in Medical Records at Bloomington Hospital now. It's been an adjustment to say the least. I feel myself learning more medical concepts though and was proud of myself recognizing cholesterol clusters in a photo last week ha! I get to wear scrubs so I'm always comfy. I hated to leave my job in the lab. I absolutely loved that job, but wanted full-time benefits. I feel like I never get to do anything fun though because I sleep during the day and am stuck there at night on the weekends. I knew this going into it and was willing to make the sacrifice. It'll get better once all the other new people are trained and can cover alone so I can ask off. I'll be working on Halloween AND Thanksgiving this year. Probably the night of Christmas too.

And just because everyone loves pics of kids, I'll finish with my sisters!
