It's that time of the year again, minimal clothing is worn, air conditioner is blasting, and curfew has no meaning for the next three to four months.
But, if you are like me, you work, clean, cook, do school stuff during the summer, mind you, and sleep little in between all of that. So, like I said, if you are like me, you do not know what the beach looks like this time of the year, if your bathing suit still fits you, or even if you have a set curfew anymore.
However, lately, work has a certain normality to it, with so much change happening, one set thing is nice to assist along transitions. I have met so many new people at work, I never thought I would like so many people at a workplace before. The first day I arrived they treated me as if I had been there forever.
I do work at a store, yet it is not what I thought it would ever be. I pictured minimum wage work to be mindless tail end work. Boy, was I ever wrong. Every day I burn no less than a few thousand calories, I lift, push, squat, curl, everything I never pictured I would be doing at A CONVENIENT STORE. But, you know what?
I could not be happier anywhere else. I love what I do, I love who I work with, who is above me, the people I meet every day, it is truly a breath of fresh every day when I clock on. I am super exhausted though. These last couple weeks have been pretty rough, and have taken a toll on my mental and physical health.
The summer is winding down, and I can not wait to see my best friend again, though I am not sure what to expect, or how much she missed me as well. Earlier this week, though, I went into the hospital and had a procedure done, pertaining to a sickness I have dealt with since I was three years old, and they took some biopsies I was told I would hear back from later that month.
Not even a week later I got a call back saying I needed to come in very soon, seeing as I have a rare disease that Causes inflammation inside of my gastrointestinal track, and that would explain many things, But here is the tricky part; How far has it spread? So I am going in soon to get another test and hopefully I will figure this out.
I am not sure what it means for my health, if it means I will live a shorter life, if it is benign, how much it will affect me, if anything will change, but that is why we have doctors, healers.
I didn't tell my friends, because it isn't their problem to worry about and once I have all of the information then maybe I will tell them, but for now, it is just me and my family's problem.
Enjoy your summers, they will end quickly, and you will begin the large, and long road called life, and careers, with no summer holiday, and sometimes no holidays at all! That is why we get good degrees so we can get good jobs ;-)
Until next time!
