Life's gotten SO much better since I last wrote here. :) I'm now working full-time, working a contract until Christmas at an elementary school teaching my favourite grades (4, 5, and 6). Being finally employed feels SO GOOD, there are no words to describe how I feel. This (temporary) solution to my financial problems is such a huge weight off my chest, and the fact that I'm out and about and being kept busy means I'm not at home stewing about, worrying about relapsing and obsessing over bruises and coughs and what have you. It feels so good to have routine and purpose to my day, SO GOOD. The contract only goes til Christmas so when the school year resumes in January I'll be out of a job again, but I'm not worried as the other week I sent my CV out to 77 schools for subbing, and I'm getting calls from them already which I have to turn down as I'm already working at THIS school. So I'm sure I'll be able to find plenty of subbing work at that point. Either way, finances-wise, I'm helped out a LOT by the contract I'm working now. It certainly isn't easy--working full-time after being unemployed for 9.5 months is quite the shocker--but I love it. Being so exhausted certainly beats being unemployed and sad, eh? Unemployment is the worst!
I'm home today as I had day surgery yesterday. VERY minor surgery. I had an IUD put in...not the copper type, but the Mirena. Haha! My husband and I keep joking around that Marina got the Mirena! Hopefully this will FINALLY be the solution to the horrid horrid horrid monstrous subhuman fucked-up menstrual insanity I've been dealing with for the past few years. I can't remember if I wrote about that here before or not. I'm pretty sure I have, but just in case I haven't, well...as I keep telling people, I didn't beat cancer just to deal with THIS bullshit. Hellllz no. Everything else doctors have tried with me over the years hasn't worked at all (birth control, pain killers, exercises, etc.), so after all this time, Mirena was the only thing they could think of. I'm also seeing a new gynecologist at the same hospital I was admitted at for my leukemia, which is awesome as that hospital is fantastic and my last gynecologist was pretty useless. Except for the fact he brought me into this world. Yeah, he helped deliver me, how funny is that?
