#NerdsUnite: The secret life of a veterinary technician
<editorsnote> Nerds, meet my buddy Lindsay. She and I met ... well, somewhere in the social space. I think we might have started talking through this site directly, then through facebook - maybe ... I'm not sure. But she's awesome. I talk to her on twitter almost every day, and she's really rad and TOTALLY a big huge animal lover. Like crazy huge!! In these series of posts she will be talking about her life and random adventures with sometimes more than two legged creatures. I guess there's only one more thing left to say ... HIT IT LINDSAY!!</editorsnote>

My boyfriend got the job! He’s getting
I'm almost afraid to be happy about life right now. It keeps improving but I guess I'm just waiting for the next stupid thing to happen. Now that I re-read those two statements, it sounds awfully silly to be so worried. David got his promotion to lead server so now he gets full time hours, full benefits, vacation accrual (WOO), and a little raise. He's super happy and I'm really happy for him, he really deserved to have something great happen. He told me that he is rethinking the culinary school business and maybe wants to do hospitality or something more involved in a restaurant then just cooking. As long as his new job keeps being as awesome as it has, he will probably stay there for a while. Which is great, as I've been at my job for almost 4 years and absolutely love it. Damn, there goes moving to Colorado anytime soon. Oh well, there's always the future.
My pet sitting business is going extremely well, too well. I'm freaking exhausted. I've had to recruit my mom and two brothers in case of any more reservations. It's great though because its really helping fill in the gaps with bills. Soon with us both working full time we will get back to normal. I need to make some new business cards and possibly t-shirts for everyone to wear when they are working. Oh and my etsy shop has been getting a little bit of traffic here and there, I've sold a few more things which is great. And my friend had me make a her 7 month old a crocheted apple hat. So now that I can make more of those and keep it stocked. One of the pet rescues that my clinic works with has invited me to participate in a fundraiser they will be having. She said I can sell my items there and donate whatever I would like to the rescue. I can't wait to do this! I plan to crochet a few different hats, make some cat nip toys, maybe a few dog bandanas, and then jewelry of course. Yay!
What else is going on...
Oh yeah! Football season started so David and I have our fantasy league (I'm not totally sure I know what I'm doing) and his dad has season tickets for the dolphins so if Dad can't go, then I get to! So we are trying to plan a little vacation to Miami for a weekend so we can play on the beach, relax in a hotel room, and go to a fun game. Hopefully this will be after I get a newer car as the current one seems to be getting cranky. If you are trying to watch football games, play fantasy, or whatever else I would definitely recommend reading Derek's series of posts: /home/tag/derek-jimenez.
Financially we are almost back. David's school and other stuff will be dealt with quite soon. My cat's surgery will be scheduled likely by the beginning of October. We have a vacation coming up soon!! And possibly a newer car for me. I need something with crazy good gas mileage so I am seriously considering hybrid cars. That's all this week nerds, my boyfriend made me a yummy apple martini so I'm off to enjoy that!!
Peace, Love, and Pawprints.
