LIFE : Oh crappy day!




     Today was nothing close to that song that blasted the radio waves constantly when it came out.  No Mr. Williams, I will not clap along, not today.  Not after this weekend.  This weekend has opened my eyes and had me screeching 'f bombs' at about everything to do with my job, and my car.
 
     So let me just type in this little blurb before we get started since I haven't updated about it at all.  I left my last job a couple months ago, and took on a job with animals, mostly dogs, at a groomer/kennel.  Loved the job until the last month or so.  There's been hardly any work, despite me being there six days a week.  On Saturday, Sunday and Monday, 12 hours of my day is basically blocked out by this job, from seven in the morning, until seven at night.  I have to go in four times on all of those days, to walk dogs, feed dogs, take dogs in, send dogs home, whatever the day calls for.  Leaving me running back and forth 12 times.  I might be lucky and get an hour and a half a day on normal weekends.  During the weekdays, if there's enough dogs to call for it, I wash dogs.  I love the animal aspect of this job, lately however, it's getting harder and harder to ignore the fact that I feel absolutely owned and like a slave.  I have called the owner to ask a question about someone trying to call her who had a dog in our kennel, and was told it was her day off, and she couldn't be bothered.  This is her business, not mine.  Yet, I have requested days off in advance because of going out of town, and have gotten texts the night before telling me to come in at a certain time to work, but I can leave after.  No question of what time am I leaving to go out of town, but demanding me to come in.

PINTERESTING : Shower Bomb DIY

     So quite some time ago I was lost in the sea of DIY known as Pinterest, looking for cheap and easy things I could try to make and stumbled across shower bombs.  My fiance and I both suffer from cruddy sinus issues from time to time, on top of sometimes we just feel congested, me being the awesome person I am, decided to give this a little whirl!  It seemed simple enough, and only required a few ingredients.  I think the most expensive one was the Vick's VapoRub, honestly, I think it came in around four dollars, or just a little more.



     I had purchased the generic brand after I scored the VapoRub from a clearance basket at our local grocery store, deciding that if I was going to try this and mess up, I'd sure rather do it with a generic, less expensive version of the VapoRub.  The ice cube trays, which are curved in the bottom were a dollar at Dollar General, and everything else was pretty inexpensive over all.

REVIEW : Virginia City, Nevada




     Recently we had some family come into town for a visit, and while he was here we decided to check out Virginia City.  Now this was a first for me, as I had never seen Virginia City during the day, and actually, I'd only seen my friend's house.  Never any of the main drag, which is home to stores and stores galore.  It's very high up in altitude, and I think that might have been the reason I was yawning the first thirty minutes we were there.
