HEY! i graduate october 26th. that is TWO WEEKS away! i can't believe it. this is the best month ever.
in addition to graduating,
-i am tied for the highest average overall with 1 other girl
-i started the month off camping at allegany with rob
-i am employee of the month
-the cooler weather finally is here
-i am going to the sabres game tomorrow!
work asked me to work as a graduate nurse today. i said no. another place called to see if i wanted to work as a grad nurse, but i haven't called them back. i am going to keep my position at work for a month, until i take and pass my boards, and THEN apply for jobs. exciting!

hey pals. i know no one really updates their livejournals anymore, but i still check them almost every day. i hope your summer is going very well! i am in school. yes, for the whole summer. yes, it does suck. however, come october i will actually finish something i started.
currently, i am at ECMC for clinical. i do not like it at all, but i have to get through it so i will. i've been to 2 beaches, 1 lawn fete, and 1 80s night. i saw hit n run play twice. i saw less than jake and fell in love with life again. i spend nights writing care plans and studying really disgusting disorders that i forget a week after i learn them.
i still really like to bake/cook and i have become obsessed with wraps. veggie, tuna, chicken finger.. it doesn't matter. i also bake a cherry crisp so good it would make you weep. i try to work out to deal with my stress and lately it has been working. i have wonderful workout dvds by george foreman. yes, i'm serious. they make me sweat and sore and i like it. also sometimes i take long walks at the park. sunglasses, headphones, fast walks. no one approaches me and i like it. i wish i had the whole park to myself.
i can't believe i am twenty four. i really liked being 19. sometimes i am scared the best time of my life has already passed. but ask me how i feel in a couple years, when i am in a cute apartment and i can bake cookies while listening to saves the day and drinking a mike's in my underwear. i bet i'll love life.

on mondays and tuesdays i go to the erie county home to do clinical. today was my third day. i don't particularly like it, but it will get better. i think.
on wednesdays and thursdays i have lecture at potter road in west seneca. i have tests every week. i usually do very well because i study very hard. but that is what is expected, needed, and the norm there. it isn't like college, where half of the kids are slacking off and don't even want to be there or know what they want to do. it's preparing for a real career that is looming in the near future.
i still work part-time at greenfield's. still like it, most of the time. still broke most of the time as well.
rob and i are going to south carolina this spring break with his family. we didn't get to go last year. i am excited and happy. april 6th cannot come soon enough.
i have been appreciating old rilo kiley cds and semi-new death cab cds a lot lately. i also appreciate mustard, mushrooms, frozen banana slices, and garlic. but not all together.
if you have a bad cold you are not alone. if you do not have one and have not just gotten over one, you will get one soon. fluids! zinc!
my hair is getting long. i like ponytails.
but sometimes, lately, i catch a glance at myself and i am completely, 100%, disgusted at my reflection.
iud is out. continuous birth control is back on. hello to having only 4 periods a year. get on it, girls.
2007 is the year that i will graduate nursing school, pass my boards, and get a real full time job.
so here i am, grown up at twenty three.

ohhhhhhhhh goodness. i'd break that boy.

| how to make your own cleaner |
[25 Oct 2006|04:51pm] |
since commercial cleaners can be quite expensive and harmful for the environment and/or your skin or lungs, i decided to look for a recipe to make my own. if you're a nerd like me and want to give it a try, this is what you need:
-1 tsp of washing soda
-4 tsp of borax
-1 tsp of liquid soap or detergent
-4 cups hot water
-about 10 drops of essential oil of your choice (optional -- i used tangerine)
-clean empty spray bottle
combine all ingredients into spray bottle and gently shake until combined. also shake before using after extended storage.
it is streaky on mirrors but has cleaned most of my computer, outside of fish tank, desk, sink, and lamps. already! i'm sure i'll use it on other things. the streaks on the mirror aren't even that bad, but i'll be on the lookout on how to improve it.
making things for yourself feels really good.

my goldfish had the longest poop i've ever seen so i wanted to take a picture of it to show rob, and right as i snapped it, the little fish came up and sampled the delicious treat. it's so fucking funny and great and i hope you like it too.

| iud torture |
[19 Oct 2006|06:28pm] |
today i got my IUD inserted and it was probably the most painful thing i have ever experienced in my entire life. i don't even know how to describe it. but the awful thing is that the insertion wasn't even the worst part. if you're into pain read on. this is going to be graphic.
first of all, you have to have your period in order to get the IUD inserted in the first place. so you go into the doctor's office and feel disgusting that someone other than yourself has to deal with the joy that is your menstruation.
then, the doctor unwraps the "kit". which is wrapped up like a christmas gift with blue fabric and printed tape. it's quite pretty. it is designed to make you think it won't be so bad. but it is, ohhh it is.
"i'm just going to have to clean your cervix and measure your uterus", the doctor says. ok, this wouldn't sound so scary if your cervix and uterus weren't in your fucking body tucked away from the light of day. you need to don a spelunker's hat, with the light turned on full force, to get to these womanly parts.
the pain begins with a cold speculum poking you in all the wrong places... err.. are there any right places to be poked with cold metal? why don't they knock you out before they do this shit!? i don't know the names of the ancient looking metal things they use to put this 2-inch torture device inside of your uterus, but i know they were designed purely to make me cry and whimper in pain.
"you're going to feel a little pinch".. A PINCH? mother fucker, i can deal with pinches. this was no pinch, this was a full body beat down. i twitched, i gasped, i gritted my teeth. imagine something hurting you've hardly felt before. deep inside your abdomen, a sharp pain that lingers for far too long. i wanted to yell 'STOP, STOP GET IT OUT PLEASE' but i just closed my eyes and grabbed at my stomach, arms, anything i could find.
ok, it's over. breathe. instructions to take motrin for 2 days, make an appt next month to get checked. whew. put on an old lady bulky pad. get up, walk to mom in the waiting room.
and then it began.
tingles all over my body. sweating. a weak, sickening feeling. nausea. i felt like i was going to 1) pass out 2) throw up 3) lose control of all body functions. yes, all of them.
i was in a full body, dripping sweat within 3 minutes after leaving the exam room. my mom was talking in her loud voice "are you ok, maybe we should go back? this isn't normal. what did she tell you? WHAT DID SHE TELL YOU?" ughhhh. i don't know what to do. i feel the worst ever.
we go back.
i need to use the bathroom, and now.
i am in there, sweating all over the place, dizzy, using the fucking bathroom. someone knocks 'are you ok?'. you are all going to laugh and say "TOO MUCH INFORMATION KIM", but i needed to tell her what i was doing. so i say 'erhm.. i'm having a bm'. EMBARRASING. oh my god, i just told someone i am pooping. i am pooping, my uterus is having a war, my hair is soaked with sweat, and i'm afraid i'll pass out like this. on the toilet, covered in sweat.
i manage to get out. i lay down, panicked on an exam table. "you're having a vasovagal reaction".. what?! what is that!? i can't speak. i'm too fucked up. juice is given to me, asprin, cold washcloths on my head and neck. 20 minutes later, and i'm feeling better.
now i have to walk out in front of 10+ people in the waiting room, with makeup smeared down my face, hair that looks like i just got out of the shower, and my pants falling down because i don't want to button them up.
naps, candy bars, heating pads, 400 mg of ibuprofren every 4 hours. i'm better, but holy cow the cramps are still here. it must get better than this. it has to, or i'll rip the thing out myself.
i hope you laughed a little while reading this, because even though it was probably the most embarrasing and painful thing i have experienced, i can still find the humor in it!

A. my fish tank, which has been a source of joy and misery for me for a couple years. the fish in there are black moors, but they are so old they lost all of their color and now they are orange! one time last year i woke up and my tank was half empty. the seam on the glass had developed a break and the water leaked all over my floor. jacob sold me his tank thankfully. another time, i had to do fish surgery when one of the little guys was choking on a piece of gravel.
B. my work sneakers which i hate wearing because they are so ugly; but i'm on my feet for the whole day and they have decent support. not excting.
C. my fucking cat scratches the door frame no matter what we do! it looks awful and trashy and poor.
D. VESPA. enough said <3
E. pictures of me and rob. actually i have about 8927428 pics of us all over my room. the one on the left is me & him with his little neice, the next is from a couple xmas's ago at my sister's house.
F. i love my calendar. i am crazy organized. i write work hours, test dates, pay days, birthdays on it. i also use stickers and colored markers.
G. old buick ad. old ads are like artwork! buick has always been a classy car company. i got this one from ebay and prompty framed it.
H. benzyol peroxide 2.5% and oil of olay sensitive skin spf 15 lotion; finally clearing my skin after some weird mid-20s hormone surge. www.acne.org has an amazing regimine!!
I. best idea ever to be organized and save space. pegged hook i painted green. i hang scissors, necklaces, keys, headbands.
J. family guy.
K. an old sherbet container that was my uncle tommy's; he used it to keep pennies in and now so do i. when he died, my mom gave the pennies to me and i kept the container and probably always will.
