[o3o] My Uterus Is Falling Out.

Okay, so that’s how I felt this morning, anyway. I almost called out of work (which I rarely do- once a year IF that). I think they were the worst cramps I’ve ever had. Woke me up out of a sound sleep. So I curled up in the fetal position on the couch until I fell back to sleep. And then I woke up feeling okay. Once I got to work I started getting cramps again, so I took some Pamprin, which helped (even though it’s expired). I’m all about the expired meds. Haha.

Speaking of work: today was the day from hell (yes, it gets worse than just the monster cramps)! Rude customers, short-staffed, rush in photo, long lines, the whole nine yards! It was absolutely nuts. Made me wish I had called in. Also made me realize that if I had called in, I would have screwed everyone over. Haha. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. But… the main reason I didn’t end up calling in was because I really need that OT. Sure, I could have used personal time to cover my hours if I did call out, but any time over 40 hours would have just counted as straight time. And I need all the extra money I can get. Sad but true. Money before comfort. Although… in this case… money equals comfort :/

But enough complaining. I had a conversation with Jeff (the assistant manager at my store) about that today. About how life is too short to spend it complaining. I mean, life is far from perfect for me right now, but I can honestly say that I’m happy. Tom and I are poor as dirt… but… we have each other. Which is a lot more than some people can say. I like to live life in the way that I am content with what I have. I don’t dwell on the bad things. I focus on what’s good. Jeff said that’s a good way to be. And not to toot my own horn, but I definitely agree. People need to learn to be happy with what they do have, instead of focusing on what they don’t have. Because seriously… there’s always someone who has it worse than you do.

Looking at the entry title makes me laugh a little now. How my uterus falling out turned into me always seeing the silver lining in life. Hah. Well, I’m sure it’ll get at least a few people to click on this entry 😉

I’m off to bed, I think. Nighty night.
