Mother Nature, must you hate us?

The weather officially sucks big ones. I was so excited that Rans was going to be up here last night and when I walked into the kitchen from getting groceries and picking up some fast food for dinner I immediately was saddened. Rans is sick and his eyes were all puffy and watery. Poor baby. So now after spending time with him, I’m stopping up, too. Actually I think pretty much everyone I know of is getting sick. It’s the weather since Mother Nature can’t pick a season. Last week it was in the high 70′s and everyone was wearing shorts and capris but today it’s in the low 50′s for a high and low 30′s for our daytime low. Heck, yesterday I wore bermuda shorts and a tee shirt and was fine but today I wouldn’t step out without having on jeans and a hoodie.

So today I spent most of my time sleeping. I forgot to take my synthroid lately which had me feeling really weak and really moody the past few days so now that I took it last night, I feel like I’m going through a roller coaster. One minute I will be fine and the next my body will be aching again. I hate this. I lost my medicine when I packed it up from our trip to Gatlinburg. I finally found it the other day so now I can get back to feeling better.

Although today I almost had a heart attack!! I’m swapping colleges in January and I thought the deadline to have everything in was November 1st. Well, no, it’s not. Thank God. I have to have a copy of my GED scores (I got my GED because my mom was in a bad car wreck so I became home schooled to help around the house) and I could not find them anywhere. So I have to now mail this form in and wait 4 weeks for me to receive my scores. That’s fine as long as all my information is submitted by December 10th. Financial aid has to be submitted by the 1st of November which is not a big problem at all. I’m just so excited that I finally made up my mind. I’ve let my past with the rape and social anxiety govern my life for so long. I’ve been scared to try new things and pursue my dreams so I played it safe by taking majors I knew I would be good at. After my summer vacation, I had some time to really think about my life and what all I wanted. I made up my mind that I wanted to be a teacher and I wanted Rans. So I already got Rans, now it’s time to get the teaching degree. Heh. So tomorrow I plan on mailing my form off.

I can’t describe how awesome I feel knowing what I want. Anyways, I need to go cook dinner. Mexican chicken!!! I’ll have to take a pic and post a recipe later. Maybe I will add some recipes to my blog. That’d be awesome since I love to bake and cook but I haven’t felt like cooking for a while now. It’s funny that now that I’m happy I can’t wait to bake away! Lol. So until next time, later gators.

  1. Yeah, the weather here’s weird too… =( Or it’s starting to be. I hope you’ll feel better soon! I sort of feel like I’m coming down with something too… Or maybe it’s just sleep deprivation…

    Aww! That’s great to hear about your college-swap thing, and that it’s not too late! =)

    Hehe, wow, Mexican chicken does sound good… WEll, maybe not to me right now, because I have an upset stomach… =(

  2. Hi! I’m digging your blog (just got here tonight for the first time), so I’d like to add it to my RSS reader. However, when I try I end up getting miss-kate.com via feedburner. Is there a setting you can update to correct this? Or is the problem on my end somehow?

  3. Hi Kate!
    We really didn’t get much snow this time, just some wet stuff. It was enough to make driving a pain, but not enough to look pretty, heh. Give it a month or two though, and we’ll have white flakes everywhere. :)

    The RSS reader I use is called Sage Too. It’s a Firefox add-on and I really like it. It actually gives you the option to use a CSS customization so you can make the reader look the way you want, which I adore. I can’t get into Google Reader or My Yahoo because of their appearance, so Sage Too is perfect for me, and it’s very easy to use. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7263

  4. Anyway, I got linked here via Brianne’s blog. I am totally digging your blog too!

    Oh man, I’ve had recurring nightmares about missing deadlines, so I totally get how you feel. It’s wonderful that you know what you want and are going for it. That’s awesome.

    PS: I use sage too :D

  5. The weather is annoying lately :(

    That’s lucky, hope you don’t get any more dates mixed up. :)

  6. I agree about mother nature hating us, at the moment where I live, it is insanely cold. I really do not think that it should be this cold in October. Outside is cold, my house is cold, I am cold. At least it is not too rainy at the moment or snowing. That would make it a complete hell.
