Corselia

Ever since i came back from vacation it has been one thing after another.  first, i came back with some sort of cold/alergy!  it actually started two days before my official return but once i got back it was full blown!  what i got was a really scratchy/itchy thoat that felt kinda phlemy and i couldn't stop coughing!  it was the costant coughing that made it bad.  went to the doctor thinking 'oh no, i aggrivated my bronchitis again!!!" but she told me i didn't have an infection and told me to take zertec... great.  She didn't tell me exactly what i had tho.  its the start of my third week since my return and although i've gotten better... i still have a itchy thoat and cough and i end up spitting up junk.  yea, gross i know.  its the worst when i wake up or eat.  

Then... at work i messed up big time and caused a shut down.  i can't go into details here but i can tell you its bad...  and it just so happens to be right one the week i am to move!  wonderful.  i've always said it before to people around me (not really here tho cuz i hardly make journals but i'm working on that, sorry yall) but in my life things come in twos if not threes... and it looks like this is one of those moments.  Bad Juju at work right before my move so now not only am i stressed out about the move but i'm now worried about my future in my job.  great.  

the move!  let me say that i officially HATE MOVING!?  i barely had any time off from work to get stuff done in a timely fashion.  thursday night i put in for early leave but we were so short staffed and busy that was a no go.  so i got home at 9pm.  quickly ran out to get dinner and boxes then came back home to start the last of my packing and do laundry and whatever else was needed.  around 4am... i gave up trying to label stuff and just started shoving anything and everything into whatever boxes i could find cuz i ran out of boxes again.  then at about 5 am i was aimed at disconnecting my washer and dryer.  now you know righty-tighty, lefty-loosy right?  i tested that on my sink to be sure water turned on when turned to the left and off when turned to the right and sure enough it did.  So i turned to disconnect my washer and for the hot water i turned it to the right, no problem.  then the cold water i turned to the right... not one budge!?  decided to use a rench and ended up breaking the damn handle!!!!  broke right in half i couldn't believe it.  and i desperately needed to disconnect the units cuz i was already going to be paying a small fortune to the movers (which i'll explain in a minute).  so halfway through i turned to disconnect the dryer...easy peasy there.  then I went back to the washer and using an oven mit to prevent my hands all getting cut up i turned the thing one more time... still no go.  i wanted to make sure i was turning it the right way so i turned on my washer and ran it through a rinse cycle on hot.  no hot water came out  after about a minute so i turned it off and continued to try and disconnect to no avail...  i spent a total of 3 hours fiddling with that thing!!!  so at around 7am i called my dad up hoping he would help me.  now he gave me a grumbly replay telling me to call the maintenence guy and yada yada yada like all dads do.  called hte office, left a message, looked for anyone who might possibly be WORKING at that hour... and all i saw were the dudes that prune the trees and plant the flowers...nothing.  finally after about 30 mins dad calls up and says hes' coming over.  he comes in, does the exact same thing and nothing... i went out to look for a maintenence guy again and when i came back dad had figured out what was wrong and told me.... i hadn't turned the hot water off.... i turned it to on to the MAX?!?!  i was turning the knobs in the totally wrong direction when i thought and even tried to check if i was doing it right?!  i spent 3 good sleeping hours on messing with a fixture for nothing.  i was so mad....  at this point i was up for a total of 24 hours... but it doesn't end there....

OK, so not am i moving but my parents are also.  They are moving overseas and can't take everythign with them.  they wanted to rent the house out but mom wasn't about to leave her high efficiency W/D at the house for the renters to use and ultimately destroy... renters do not take care of things very well.  SO mom wanted me to switch mine for hers which i had no problem with.  but i also had to switch out a couch and love seat for a leather sofa, and i was also getting a 30 year old dinning set and a treadmill!  SO the movers not only had to move my stuff from one  apartment to the other but they had to take some of my stuff to my parents house and some stuff from their house back to my  new apartment!  FOUR HOURS?!  it took that long to get it all done.  somewhere along the lines of them moving stuff out of my old apartment... i dozed off for like 5-10 minutes... and i woke up and two rooms were like freak'n empty!?  i ended up taking a 5 hour engery cuz that freaked me out... i thought i fell asleep for 30 mins... but those dudes were pretty fast.  ok so after they had finished i had to figure out why my electric wasn't on?!  that took about 2 hours there... then the ATT guy came over and that was another 2 hours... and all the while dad is calling me up to take him to pick up his motercycle!  like i'm not stressed enough?  then i found out there are a few issues like the A/C not cooling and the stove shocked my damn figure cuz the light switch is faulty and actually was burning a hole through the plastic!!!  Fridge isn't cold enough... its just cool.  and no knob to turn on the shower in one of the bathrooms!  geeze!?  there are a lot of issues left to sort out.... but after the att guy took dad to get his bike then mom wanted to get some things done so i ended up driving her around... finally  got to eat some FOOD cuz i hadn't eaten anything all day.  you can imagine how i'm like at this point.  when you've been up for over 30 hours with no food and surviving off 5 hour energy drinks... you get a lil weird.  SO i finally get to sit and eat!  we're at this east star china buffet and sometimes at dinner they serve... dun dun DUNNNN, CRAWFISH!?!?  i LOVE crawfish boils!!!  especially theirs cuz its all lemony and yet it tastes buttery and a lil spicy and delicious and lick your fingers oh so tasty good!?! (i'll post a pick of it very soon! lol)  After having eaten it though... i couldn't breathe through my nose!  completely blocked up!  i think i may have just discovered i may be alergic to crawfish.....  thinking back now, the last time i had crawfish it did that too.  ;A; i'm so sad... i loved it... OH WELL I"LL JUST SUFFER IT!  

SO, after all that mess i'm finally free to get back to work.  i go back to my old apartment cuz i have to clean it up, i don't want to leave a mess behind and be charged this and that so i spend a few hours there.  not to mention some of my smaller random things are left behind there too.  From 9 pm to midnight i was cleaning up, vacuuming and gathering the last of my stuff.  i only manage to get a few things out cuz by this time i'm dead tired... and kinda hungry again.  Those little energy drink shots keep you up, no problem... problem is that its also a appetite suppressant!!!  you know you haven't eaten but you don't feel hungry at all.  (please don't use this as a means to lose weight folks, it really does mess you up, just keep reading).  OK so by midnight, i'm tired, i'm starting to get a lil hungry, i stop by mcdonalds and pick up large fries and a drink to wich i only eat a small part of it cuz i'm so sleepy.... and i DO try to go to bed but alas... its hard.  i'm awake with 5 hour energy and its bloody hot in my apartment!?!?!?  consistant 80 degrees even when turned on!?!  I do manage to get some sleep but only for a good 4 hours... i woke up so late, too.  coudln't find anything, everything is still packed, hadn't showered in 48 hours cuz i was so busy and now running late.  and i'm coughing like crazy cuz of my throat problem.  i arrived at work 5 mins late and spoke to the manager and pretty much begged to go home early.  i cried, too.  i don't normally do that.  but i was so tired and when you have a goverment job... or any job for that matter they don't give a shit what you do on YOUR TIME.  your tired... your fault, you have a responsibility to report to work.  but he let me go but i have to get a doctor's note... there's reasons behind it but i'm just like seriously???  for needing sleep????  but then again maybe i looked alot worse then i thought.  I was really shaky, to the point i couldn't write nice.  and i was pale, wasn't hungry but i hadn't eaten, and obviously not clean cuz everything is still packed.  i went home and hit the hay.  i was so tired.

SO yea, staying up for about 40 hours with barely any food/water and getting stressed out and surviving offa engery shots... NOT GOOD.  its a good thing i decided not to get an energy DRINK, that would have really messed me up big time cuz last time i took and Energy drink and a energy shot almost back to back.....with no food, i felt sick and wanted to throw up and my heart was going a million miles an hour.  this week has been very stressful.  i hope it gets better soon....and that my a/c gets fixed cuz i'm not liking this 80+ temp INSIDE when its anywhere between 85-104 OUTSIDE!?  bah...

Hey Guys!  Back from My vacation and it was a BLAST!!!  I loved California!  It was very pretty and clean and flowers left and right and huge!  about the only thing i didn't really like was probably the driving... lol;  During my stay i managed to get a whole buncha Bento boxes!!!  you wouldn't believe how cheap they were and where you could find them!?  however I did get a lil ripped off as i would buy some in one place (mitsuwa market) and find it like 2-3 bucks cheaper at the mall!?  the exact same ones!?!  But oh well... they were all under 6 dollars and i managed to get a few for the Bento-love group!  So i'll be holding some contests in the very near future!  

Letsee... on the first day we went to South Costa Plaza Mall which was a huge mall!  Then the days following we went to Knotts Berry Farm (theme park), Anime Expo (first day) This other mall, the beach, This HUGE theater plaza that had shops attatched to it and a Rocky Mountain Chocolate factory place (THEY HAD HUGE CANDIED APPLES!!!!) AX again to see the Mascarade ball, Japan Village Plaza, Restaraunts, DisneyLand (we went on the 4th of July! AND i tried out almost all of their rides! even the coasters cuz they weren't as FAST FAST as normal ones were) The pool and jacuzzi at the hotel, and japanese shopping malls!  

It would have been ALOT more fun had I didn't have to worry about moving soon after my vacation and had to watch my spending.  Originally i was only planning on the vacation and already was low on funds due to vet bills and unexpected things.  Then about a month before my vacation my family tells me "WE"RE MOVING TO GERMANY!!!  you need to find a place that allows 3 dogs."  so that put a big damper on things.  i was actually considering giving up my vacation in order to have money for the move but i would have lost money on the plane ticket and hotel and my family told me to go anyway.  So yea, that sucked.  but i still had some fun!  i think i'm in love with disneyland!!!  i went there once when i was very very little and my only memory of it is a colorful rainbow lollypop.  It was MUCH BETTER then i could have ever imagined!

So I'm back, I'm tanned, and have Loads of photos to upload!  most will be on facebook i suppose.  i'm barely ever on there but yea.  some of the good ones will make it to DA so keep an eye out for that!  Ciao for now!

OKAY!!!!  Changed my name.  I've been wanting to change it forever and wished DA would have a function where you could do this instead of having to delete your account to make a new one... and viola?!  about a few weeks after wishing this, they finally did it!  and i am now able to change my name without having to abandon my account and its attatched group to do it!  YEAY!  so now i am Corselia!  wanted Rutia... but it was taken and i hate putting those XXXnameXXX crap... thats just not for me.  then i tried Fresca... taken... tried a billion other names and they were taken!  so i was lucky i browsed around and found that one.  its pretty so i'm goodd with it.  What do you think?

Testing out new Journal Skin!!  Still looking...  just needed something to replace those sneakers.  they were getting boring.
