Just Give him the whale

Second-year bilingual-middle school-special education teacher. Lots of new things in store this year! I love education, donuts, and nerdy things. This blog will be a mix of all of those.

My life is a lot right now. I don’t post here really at all except to vent, and I am obviously doing that. So, the big stressor is that my mother-in-law is dying. The hospice nurses think a week or so. We are spending a lot of time there now. Her mind is starting to go though, so that has added a different layer of difficulty. Selfishly, my routine is very disrupted, so it is taking a lot in that sense too. We are also moving. Which is its own level of stress. We also have no time to pack because we are spending our time with his mom. Also, it’s the end of the year which sucks for everyone, so like that’s a lot. And my mom just called to tell me that my dad lost his job.

I’m just a little stressed. Good thing I have therapy on Saturday.

Happy belated birthday to this wonderful amazing human @edukaition! She was my first irl tumblr friend. I let her randomly come stay at my house one time, and I think we have gotten together 4 times now? Soon to be five!!!!!

I hope your day was amazing!

@lovelikesummer tagged me in a SDS. Currently in the car with my fiancé’s parents going to buy the mother of the groom dress. Just drove back from La Crosse for reading council leadership.

I think JVN just became the archenemy of @lolobee8288

[lolobee8288]

I mean, he has done so much good for my life...but this is a strike against him.

[lolobee8288]

Rarely Do I post here, but I needed a place to vent that wasn’t wildly public. And that would give my fiancé a break.

I’ve had a lot of health stuff going on this summer. We are to the bottom of one problem, and then scratching the surface of the other (although, I think it’s all related...the neuro opthamalogist thinks otherwise).

They put me on this medication that basically the side effects listed are the same problems as the actual illness. It also is a diuretic, so it makes you pee. But you also have to drink lots of water or you’ll get kidney stones. Oh, but you also get dry mouth. It could make you constipated or cause diarrhea. It also makes me just bone crushingly tired. Oh and it gives me the worst pins and needles. They wake me up in the middle of the night.

I am doing a special ed work week next week so o am going to see how my body does with that otherwise I don’t think I can keep taking at least this dosage. If I can hardly stay awake running errands, how can I stay awake teaching?

It’s really all a bummer and I don’t want to have to deal with any of it. It also could affect having a baby. Which I already have PCOS. So.

Really I’m over it all.

Oh, one last psa. Listen to yourself and advocate for your needs! I had one doctor totally brush me off and tell me I was fine. I wasn’t. I could’ve gone blind...

Don’t post much, but meeting @ambedu is worth a post :)

I think I like this boy.

[lolobee8288]

Star Wars and chill

This boy…he asked me to watch all the Star Wars with him.

That’s a commitment right there.

[lolobee8288]

Like like.

This is all weird. I like this guy. He likes me. Wanting to spend time with someone I like like is just a weird feeling for me.

We still have some business to figure out, but it seems good. Just like expectations and all.

[lolobee8288]

Panicking.

My anxiety is heightened today. But the guy I am dating is just leaving work, and he asked to stop by. Um. What????

He said he had a donut. But I am worried it is something else.

[lolobee8288]

My boyf is stuck at work...I am just hungry!!!

[lolobee8288]

Still always accurate.

Impromptu dinner date.

Amazing BBQ. I don’t know which I liked better…the food or getting to see my bf.

[lolobee8288]

Yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of my first date with Will.

It is crazy to believe that. I mean we didn’t officially start dating right away, but I don’t know the other dates specifically.

We went to lunch at the same restaurant and saw a movie (I had to babysit).

It was really just lovely.

I feel so lucky that I have found someone who balances me out and is so patient with me. We’ve definitely had our growing pains, but I feel like we are in a really good place.

Having been single though for my whole life until this point, it is still weird to me that I have a boyfriend. I’m not complaining though.

[lolobee8288]

One of the things I love about my boyf is that he loves Christmas.

Probably more than I do. Mostly Christmas movies and shorts. I have watched so so many of them this season. He also is showing me a ton of new Christmas music.

[lolobee8288]

At my wedding, i definitely want a photo booth.

They are just so much fun. I love the pictures people take. So much more real than the formal ones.

[lolobee8288]

Get ready, world.
