Ups and Downs..

Lately I feel like my life has been so complicated. A month ago I was offered a job working at a hospital. They needed me to get a special TB shot. No problem right?

Wrong. It is a two shot vaccination and my second shot went haywire. The student nurses that were administering the vaccination, grabbed the wrong shot. Instead of getting the TB shot, I was given a phlemonia vaccine. One of the side effects is that your arm swells, and you get tight joints and muscles. After going back to the doctor, thinking my test was positive, they told me about the mix up. I had to wait a week to get my second TB shot and in that week, my arm had swelled twice it's size, went from my wrist to elbow and I could barely move my arm at all. It was painful!

I finally got my second shot and I have still waiting to hear from my employer when they want me to start. It's weird because in the interview, my employer made it seem that they needed someone ASAP. Oh well, it pays well and it's across the street from school so I'm not letting this go. I'm just so anxious about starting!

THEN, I had another mix-up at school. In order to release my financial aid, they needed an official copy of a letter from my old university saying that my loan was in default. I am very grateful for the efficiency of Loyola's staff because they sent me the letter a few days later and got the entire thing worked out.

On a brighter note, I got my first client for my crochet business. A friend of mine is having a baby shower in September and she's asked me to help decorate her diaper cake. I'm making her amigurumi cupcakes and a newborn outfit and matching beanie for mommy. I'm having a lot of fun doing this, and although it's not a lot of money, it's my first client! I hope things continue to look up for my business and I slowly get more and more clients.

I started doing yoga at home a few months ago. And I'm hooked! I love doing it right in the morning when I wake up. My roommates are all sleeping and the only place in my crowded apartment that has space for my mat is the kitchen. I usually get my yoga done and a shower in before anyone wakes up and I'm alert and positive for the rest of the day. I'm slowly getting more flexible and in shape. I have started to notice my little "pooch" is getting smaller and my booty is getting a little bigger. I need to work on my arms more though, so I'm gonna start doing some inverted yoga soon.I love doing handstands and headstands! I'm not good enough to do it away from a wall yet, but I will one day!

I'm off to do some crocheting, some eating and who knows what else.
