Worst Habits + Favorite Things

11/08: Worst Habits

• Being impatient with my family
  This is what needs the most work. :[
• Always-always-always having food in my mind
  

  I wonder if I’d qualify as having a compulsive eating disorder… :x

  …and speaking of food-related things, have you entered my Venice Kitchen Silicone Baking Cups giveaway yet? :D?!

   

• Trying to do everything
  I’m wayyy better than I used to be about this though, and I’ve learned to multi-task and say no!
  

  (But what if I really identify with this!?)

   

• Talking myself out of the correct answer on tests
  Yeah, don’t do that. Self-doubt sucks. :/
• Talking about how I’m feeling

11/09: Best Physical Feature

• …Well, considering that my butt has inspired my friends to give it its own name…I guess I can’t very well pick any other body part, right? :O

11/10: Few of My Favorite Things

• Volunteering

Please Save A Cat | facebook
So while we’re on the subject of volunteering…if you’ve been here for a while, you probably know that this charity is very, very near and dear to me. I started volunteering here back in the spring of 2013, shortly after I started volunteering at Friends For Life, Inc. (a local dog sanctuary in town). I actually moved in and lived here for a couple months last spring/summer. People never know how to react when I tell them I’ve been living at a cat shelter.Linda is one of the most awesome ladies I’ve ever known, and I’m honestly blessed to have her as a friend.

She’s kinda adopted me as the daughter she’s never had, and is honestly like a second mom to me. <3 We have over 80 cats, 4 dogs, a ferret, and (most recently,) 5 guinea fowl! <3 She has a full-time job on top of taking care of all of this awesomeness each day (they get their litter boxes and water changed twice a day), and when the shelter is not at max capacity, she’ll go to neighboring shelters to adopt cats that have run out of time. She also takes in pets for deployed military personnel, so they’ll know that their pets are receiving lots of love and care until they return. :]

While I was still living in the area, I’d try to go in at least on the weekends to help out whenever I could. If you’re not already supporting a charity when/if you purchase things on Amazon, please consider shopping through smile.amazon.com, and choose Please Save A Cat (Maxwelton, WV) as your charity to support!

This is Ethel, one of the resident “circus cats!” (She can leap through the air and land perfectly to perch on your shoulder…so long as you don’t move and mess up her careful calculations.)

• Music
  Music Performance was one of my majors in undergrad, and for a time, I actually did consider pursuing it as a career…but then I started my internship at PHAC and completely fell in love with working with all the patients there. I also didn’t want to make a career out of my favorite hobby, because I didn’t want to risk losing my passion for music from depending on it to pay the bills.
• Food
  (…Does that really even need to be said?)
• Margaery Tyrell or Daenerys Targaryen’s hairstyles
  
  
  

  While I’m at it, I also really like her dress.

• Writing
  Fun Fact: This blog has over 800 entries, and is not the first online journal I’ve ever had!
  (I kept paper journals and a [couple] livejournal[s] for a decade before moving over to wordpress.)
• You can probably tell from my Pinterest that I have a thing for…all things blue, pretty dresses (even though I never have reason to wear em’), knee-high boots, and cute workout clothes
  
• Pyrography
  I discovered this back in 8th grade woodshop! <3 (In other words, I burned in that chocobo below is from 12 years ago.) The flower and the turtle (“honu!”) are more recent, mostly because I found a random wooden box and decided it was too plain. :O
  

11/11: Outfit of the Day

So this one’s kinda hilarious to me because if it were socially acceptable to do so in my [future] profession, I would totally live in t-shirts/tanks and yoga pants/sweats. My idea of dressing up these days is if I’m wearing jeans. That being said, I tried to look slightly more put together the other day for church, and as I was heading back up to my apartment, one of my neighbors told me I looked really cute, and that she’d seen me around before and that I was already dressed really well.

My mind did an instant flashback of my outfits for the past month. I’ve been exclusively wearing scrubs or sweats/t-shirts since I’m on my ER rotation right now, and I was gone for the previous month for my rotations. What could she possibly be referring to? :O For the record, I stole all my scrubs (the stethoscope too) from my mom. Her favorite color is purple, in case you were wondering. :O

I also can’t button the last button on my white coat because I have a billion things in my pocket, har har har.

Look who’s back! <3
