I went to the doctor’s yesterday since I was oozing orange on my arm. She said not only do I have Poison Oak but a 2nd degree skin infection hence the orange ooze. She put me on Prednisone, Clindamycin, and a cream for the itching. And then she told me I need to stay out of work for a week until this heals. I can’t even begin to explain the guilt and disappointment that swept over me when I went up to work and handed my note in. I felt so bad having to take that much time off after I just took a bunch of time off for family obligations last month. I just really hope this doesn’t affect my job in the future.
I had a little bit of a melt-down yesterday. It was a typical one about how I don’t know what I want to do with my life and that I am so lost as to what my calling is. I know I want to get my business degree, but as to what I want to do with it I have no idea. I guess there’s maybe some envy of Joshua because two years out of high school he’s already working his dream job and making the big bucks. Me? The only dream job of mine is being a character at Disneyland and that isn’t exactly a secure job or even a big buck job nonetheless. I just wish I knew my true calling.
My mom and sister came down to visit on Tuesday and they’re helping me with my front yard. They cleared a ton of weeds and grass away already. Because I couldn’t do much with my poison oak, I went around my property and sprayed Round-Up. I also got some stuff to kill poison oak/ivy so I sprayed that as well just to be safe. I’m almost tempted to go for a walk around the neighborhood with that spray if you know what I mean, haw haw.
Welp, Mom & Smelly are due here so I shall be saying ta ta for now!

How the hell did you do that to your arm? I’m assuming you just get these bad reactions from poison oak. Eeesh, sorry.
I know how you feel about not knowing your calling. I didn’t know what I was going to be doing until this last semester. It sucks, I know, but a big percentage of students don’t even know what they’re getting a degree in! so you’re still ahead of many students.
Oh no, I hope your arm gets better!
That isn’t fun at all.
Oh wow I know exactly how you feel about the “life” situation. I have no idea what I want to do with my degree either. I’ve never had much of a calling and the only job I can think of is to be a web designer…but I can’t imagine doing that for the rest of my life…it’s more of a hobby really. But who knows…I know we aren’t alone though.
Come on life-changing-opportunity, I’m WAAAAIIITTTING!
