exhaustion.

What a long week.

I'm completely exhausted, but what else is new??

Let's recap.

Ciera's apartment in the foothills was adorable. I wish it was closer in town because I would totally move there, but it's way too far! 

Sunday, Derek and I had a HUGE fight. He went to the Subway Christmas party while I hung out with my family for my Dad's 50th birthday celebration. He was supposed to text or call me when he got there, but an hour and a half ended up going by and I hadn't heard from him. Finally he called me and we got into it pretty bad, and he said a lot of nasty things via text. /: Thankfully we were able to talk it out. I'm just tired of this vicious cycle where I think things will get better and they don't. He made up for it though by hanging rainbow Christmas icicle lights on our patio, and he bought us a TREE! We decorated it last night while drinking hot chocolate and listening to Christmas music. It really brought us together in a romantic, holiday-ish way. 

Work has been kicking my BUTT!! So much drama, coworkers are getting into it with each other and I just wish we could all get along. I get irritated too, but I feel like if we could all sit and talk it out things would get better. Anyway though, today I didn't feel so hot when I woke up. And about two hours into work, I was feeling really dizzy and nauseous. I'm pretty sure I forgot my dose of Venlafaxine yesterday, and the withdrawals hit hard and fast. So I clocked out for an hour and and took a nap in the dental chair. It still kind of hung around for the rest of the day, but I'm hoping I'll be back to normal by tomorrow. Tomorrow is insanely busy, but it's my last crazy stupid day before a short two work weeks, with the holidays mixed in of course. :) One more day til I'm closer to a mini vacation!

On a sadder note, Om Nom passed away two days ago. :( I came home and she was all sprawled out in the cage. I went to pick her up and she actually moved a bit, but when I was holding her in my hand she was completely limp and struggling for breath. While I was searching for possible problems she could be having on my phone, she started convulsing in my hand...her whole body would hop up off of my hand, and she was having a lot of trouble breathing. Finally, she gave one last troubled breath before completely relaxing and passing on. It was horrific. :( I have no idea why my two little mousies got sick. I'm really nervous about getting two more, but at the same time I have a habitat and toys that aren't being used! 

Tomorrow after work I'm going to go kick back with my family. I can't wait. We've had a lot of snow on the mountains, and I hope this weekend we can go up and play in the snow and take lots of photos!
