Where I've been...

I've been busy.

• I stretched my lobes tonight from 7/16ths to 1/2".  It went really smooth, I think the vitamin E oil really does help with keeping my lobes elastic-y and it also makes for great ear lube. It's strange that they stretched so easily, since my jump from 00 to 7/16ths was painful and just shitty, but 7/16ths to 1/2" is a lot larger of a step.
  
• I've finally gotten non-iodized sea salt to do salt soaks with. I'm pretty convinced I've gotten far too many piercings in such a short time - four new holes in a month's span, to be exact- so my body is having a hard time with healing. I've begun getting a small bump on my nose, but it's already decreasing since I've begun the warm compresses and bought new H2Ocean. My bellybutton is fine, and my industrial is sore, and oozes a bit, but good. I'm just worried about getting keloids, so I'm doing everything in my will to make that NOT happen.
• I've been working 10 hour shifts since my CVS store in the mall has begun it's remodel. These hours are long and torturous, especially because it's from 7 am - 5:30 pm and I'm always the last of the crew to go. I've got two of these days this week, tomorrow and Thursday, then I think I'll be done. I've asked for such long shifts, so hopefully they grant my request, because I leave everyday like I'm about to drop dead.
• I've been working full time, and it's kept me busy, but I'm getting bored with life. I'm sick of CVS and how I'm going nowhere. I have nowhere to go, right now, though, so I guess I'll just have to keep going until an opportunity rises.
• I burned the shit out of my legs on Friday when I went to the beach with Kristen, Haily, and her friend. We had a lot of fun, though, especially getting brutally beat up by the waves due to the tropical storm.
• Following that burn session, I had to drag my tired, burnt, malnourished-from-the-sun body to a concert in Worchester. I was absolutely miserable, but it was a good show because it was Throwdown and the Caverllara Conspiracy. I slept the whole ride home, drove my ass to my house from Ray's, and woke myself up at 8 am for work the following day. DRAINED
• I spent the night at Ray's Saturday night, which was wonderfully relaxing and what I wish every day would be like. He bought me a quart of vanilla slush which was what filled me Saturday night - Sunday afternoon. Amazing.
• I worked Sunday. Boo.
• But after work, I went to Canobie with Kristen, Haily, and Ray. We had a lot of fun, despite the weird weather. I ran into Angela and now I am determined to hang out with her sometime with summer because I forgot how cool she was.
• I went on a lot of rides I'd never dreamed of going on. It resulted in goodness.
• I worked today, then went to dinner with my Mom.
• My parents are fighting. My Dad wants to get rid of my dog because she sucks because she hasn't been trained right, but my whole family loves the dog so we would all hate my Dad as the result. This is seriously the second fucking fight they've gotten into over my dog. And each fight is ridiculously extreme and out of porportion, and everyone gets upset and stressed out.
• I am so mother fucking stressed out.

My life lately, I guess. I think I'm going to start using livejournal again but just for the writer's block thing, not for actual updates. It seems fun.
