Last night and this week

Last night was SO exactly what I needed. I couldn't have planned it better than the way it played out. I had such a good time, just hanging out with friends, especially after the horribly crappy week I've been having. Even despite the whole library thing (Danielle), and getting lost for the first time (shut up, Jon, I know it was because I was following that stupid van), I had such fun. I can't wait to do it again. Maybe just the four of us again. =) I'm really happy right now. I got a good night's sleep on top of a great night, a new manga, a good movie (Step Up), a book of Sudoku (yay!), and I get to see my mom today!

Tomorrow is Jon's birthday, Monday I have liturgy choir at 7:30 am and after school at the Cathedral downtown, Tuesday is my birthday, Wednesday is the diocese Senior Mass at the Cathedral, Thursday night or Friday day Kevin may be coming home, Friday night Danielle's celebrating my birthday, and Saturday RenFest opens. I think this is going to be a good week. =) Plus, I have no homework and a good attitude.

I can't wait for my birthday!

What the fuck? I'm super girl!

So, my dad talked to my doctor today about my medication and stuff... and aparantly (sp?) with my lab results, I shouldn't even be able to get out of bed, let alone go to school, work, drive, etc. CRAZY SHIT, YEAH? Yeah. I'm super girl.

Just call me "Mom"

My mother's condition got... really serious this morning. She had to get an emergency operation. She can't eat anything for the next seven days- she'll have to be fed through tubes to her stomach, meaning she'll have to stay in the hospital until at least next Tuesday. After she comes home, she can't go back to work for at least six weeks and she'll be pretty much bed-ridden for the first three weeks.

This sucks.

1. I worked yesterday from 2-10:30, I work today from 2-9:30, and I work tomorrow from 4-10:30. I tried to work something out with my boss, but she said it looked irresponsible for me to ask for time off so soon after I got hired. My mother is in the hospital, for Christ's sake. I'm not able to visit my own mom at all because of this stupid job and I am being irresponsible by wanting to. So now, I can add this to the list of things that suck: my boss is a bitch and I'm probably on some kind of probation for trying to call in for tomorrow. Our store just recently had two people quit, so they are already way short on people, and it makes me wonder what they would have done if I hadn't accepted "no" for an answer and had simply insisted that I have the day off. I'm not going to, but really, would they have fired me?

2. I am scheduled to work Sunday (9am-3pm), Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday (4-10:30) next week. This is insane. Why did I have to go and get a job? I can't work those hours. I won't be awake in class and I won't be able to do my homework... Isn't school my main priority? But if my boss wouldn't let me off to visit my sick mother in the hospital, how am I supposed to handle next week? I obviously can't just tell her "no," but I can't do it. I just can't. What can I do? If I quit my job this early, no one else will want to hire me. I really don't know what to do... Some advice? Please?
