I've been sick all week since Tuesday afternoon. It's exhausting being unwell. I missed three days of work and couldn't even enjoy having that time off! I drew a guinea pig who isn't feeling well. He has a thermometer in his mouth, which honestly is more useful for gauging human illnesses than guinea pig ones. My gerbil Nat passed away the evening after my last blog post. I was worried Ash would get depressed with his buddy gone, but he doesn't seem any less active and still begs for veggies by coming out into the open any time I'm feeding the guinea pigs. One of my coworkers told me I should become a teacher. Since I have a Bachelor's degree already, I could become a certified teacher in about a year if I started taking courses online. There are always teaching positions open around here so it's an interesting idea. I didn't really fit in when I was in school, but I liked it anyway and a few people have told me they don't think they would have passed some class or other if I hadn't helped them with their classwork. Maybe I would enjoy trying to teach juvenile delinquents about math or computers or something.
Have a day!

My neck and right shoulder have been hurting for days now. I'm not old enough to feel as miserable as I do all the time! I'm not even sure what I did, if I lifted too much at work, slept on it wrong, or spent too much time sitting still, tapping buttons on my 3DS. I filled out some forms online with an agency to try to find a new job. I don't think I like their system very much though, as it seems to only match you with jobs that you've basically already done before and I don't want to stay in retail. I want as far from it as I can get. I want a desk with a computer and maybe a little less overbearing supervision. I have a degree, darn it, and I'm tired of being treated like I'm dumber than a rock and half as useful. I finished reading A Lantern in Her Hand this morning. I found it pretty depressing. The main character has a pretty rough life but she gets to see her children all educated and happy, which I guess makes up for all the garbage she went through? I don't know. The past couple days one of my gerbils has been acting pretty sluggish. He didn't even seem very interested in eating his slice of bell pepper last night. Nat's an overweight old thing and I don't think he'll be around much longer. Ash isn't much better, but he at least runs on the wheel now and then. I want to do something useful with the rest of my day, work on a sewing project or even just draw something on my computer, but just thinking about doing something like that makes my shoulder hurt. I think I'm gonna go finish the ice cream in the freezer... Have a better day than me! I finally had a day off today. I wish I could say I've spent it well, but that wouldn't be honest. I played Story of Seasons for a few hours after I woke up, then ate lunch and went shopping. I try to avoid bringing more clutter into my room, but sometimes it's hard to resist. One of the things I bought is a snake plant. I read somewhere that they are hardy houseplants that help filter toxins out of the air. This one is in a tiny pot so I will have to transplant it to give it room to grow and be useful. I have also been reading this week. I finished The Tale of Hill Top Farm and was unimpressed. The plot kind of got all over the place near the end and the main character wasn't even involved in a lot of it. Now I'm reading A Lantern in Her Hand and I have the strangest feeling I've read the beginning of this book before. I think I might have picked it up near the end of a semester once and returned it to the school library without finishing it. I'm going to try not to let that happen this time. Sometimes I think it would be nice to be a librarian. I like to keep things neat and organized, I don't like excessive noise, and I love books. If I had a little more time and energy I might pursue a degree in library science (you need one to become a librarian, evidently). Oh well. In another life maybe. Have a day!
Well, I didn't get much else accomplished on Monday after I cleaned the guinea pig cage. I started playing Story of Seasons again and there went my afternoon. My character got married and I started my third in-game year on the farm. Now I have a grey rabbit, brown alpaca, and angora sheep, and with their wool I'll be able to make new kinds of clothing for my character to wear.
This afternoon I drew a guinea pig student. He's in class, daydreaming about lunch. Stores are starting to put out their back to school products, although I think there's over a month and a half before classes start again.
I am scheduled to work the next six days in a row. I really hate working so many consecutive days at this job, since I have to be on my feet the whole time and it kills my ankles and knees. Someday I'll have a desk job again. Someday. Have a day!
