I am not sure what I am going to write about at this moment. Expect mental health news, cats/animals, Work/Customer Crap, and other random tidbits of my life.

I don't know if anyone checks this or not, but I wanted to apologize for not being around much (at all) for the last month. I'm having some health issues that hopefully will be worked out soon. Add that to school starting couple weeks ago and a weird work schedule...I've been stressed. Hopefully I'll have some news wednesday and I'll come post about it.
Love to all.
 Disposal of Expired MedicationAugust 16th 2007 22:18
I would like to know what the best way of disposing of expired OTC medication, and unused prescription medication is. I have been told a few different things, and they all are somewhat contradictory.
When my grandmother died in April, the pharmacy (connected to a major hospital) I called told me to do this long, laborious process that seemed...like it would just essentially be throwing the pills away. They said to ground up the pills, dissolve them in water, pour the water on coffee grounds or sand, put the sand into a coffee can or some other container, place the container in two plastic bags and throw away. Some day, that will all decompose. Another Pharmacist told me that his pharmacy will accept unused/expired medication and dispose of them in a hazmat compliant way. Generally, the get incinerated. This seems much better to me, but I can't seem to find a pharmacy near me that will do this. Also, I have an insane amount of old medications...and would be a bit embarrassed to hand them all over. I think I used to be a very bad psych patient...I have a ton of old medication. They did mess with my medications a lot back then, so I would get new prescriptions more often than would have been needed. Anyway, anyone have any ideas?
Received the abuse file.August 14th 2007 14:21
First of all, do all state/official documents have huge amounts of misspellings, grammar errors, and words left out/typed incorrectly (ie wasn't turns into was). It was really frustrating to read just because of that in itself, some of it doesn't make sense due to the errors.
Besides that. Reading it didn't make me feel any better. There were things I was expecting to be in there, that weren't. Things I wasn't expecting were in there. Adult Protective Services found in my favor, which I think I wrote about here. With a finding of class 1 sexual abuse/exploitation. That makes me squirm a bit because though a sexual relationship was propositioned by him, to me...all that happened was a long hug, attempted kiss, hand holding...etc. Then after I left the hospital came all the emotional stuff. Not doing so well with this, to come later though. Off to work I go.
Hard Knock LifeAugust 11th 2007 03:25
Having a bit of a hard time the last few days, not particularly sure why. My head is constantly killing me. My knees throb/ache with red-hot pain after only being on them for a few hours.
I utterly despise my job right now and am seriously considering finding something else. I am a very loyal person when it comes to jobs. I do not choose companies lightly. I worked at a grocery store before the job I have now. I started at $7.35/hr and ended up at $10.55/hr after 2.5 years. They cut everyone to part time, forcing most of the higher-paid associates to find other work. I started the current job at $8.50/hr (then a $0.50 raise after 90 days), I have been there almost 3 years and make $9.66. I am pretty sure I'll get the standard $0.33 raise next month, putting me at about $10/hr. 3 YEARS later...and I'm still not at what I made before
Confessions 6 - 9 (some good, some bad)August 6th 2007 15:45
6) I made my manager kill a scorpion that was wondering in the middle of an aisle. He said I could take care of it if I wanted to. I figured he got paid to do stuff like that and I don't. He squished it with a rubber mallet. Yeah.
7) A co-worker found someones car keys behind our paint shaker. They had to have been there a very long time. I sort of remember the person I think they belong to, oddly enough. He had to have his boss come get him. We seriously could not find the keys. There is a grocery store card on them, so I am going to drop them off so they can be looked up
self injury - getting worse?August 4th 2007 23:53
I joined a livejournal community a few days ago that suprised me - and not in a good way. I used to cut myself a long time ago...before it was 'popular', so I do understand. This comunity is for posting pictures of cuts, burns, blood and scars; that sort of disturbes me.
Ten years ago self ijury was not talked about how it is now. Psych docs did not see it alot (at least in my home town). I am tryng to figure out if this place could have any sort of thereputic value, and i just can not see it
The vote button color?August 3rd 2007 23:23
I can't find anything on the site about this, and if I'm blind could someone point me in the right direction?
Does the color of your vote button have any relevance? IE blue, yellow, red?
Killer Mothers and Toy Recalls (Lead Paint)August 2nd 2007 23:14
A mother in the town I work in is implicated in a murder-suicide that was discovered Tuesday. Headline:In notes, mother admits shooting family, but gives no motive. Two kids aged 11 and 7, and her husband were murdered - then she killed herself. There have been so many of these cases in the last few years and it just astonishes me. While I can understand being suicidal, I can't comprehend killing my family. I know some of it's mental illness and sometimes there are no warning signs...but some of these cases had to have some advanced thought to them.
There is also a recall on a whole lot of Fisher-Price toys that were made and/or painted in China. Headline: Lead in paint leads Fisher-Price to recall almost 1 million toys. The recall is of 83 (so far) different types of toys, so if your kids have anything made by Fisher-Price check out the link and see if you own the toys. Lead in toddler toys
Kasey (Baby-Girl)July 31st 2007 01:00
Kasey is Dusters' playmate. Duster was so psycho when we got him that we didn't want to leave him home alone. I actually found a job, and my boyfriend was in school and working. My boyfriend picked her out because once again, the cat I wanted was gone by the time we got approval to adopt her. She was a scraggly little thing, that's for sure.
When we brought Kasey home she was around 12 weeks old and very skinny. She had apparently not been eating in the shelter. An hour after arrival the boyfriend had to go to school and I was stuck at home with the cats. Duster was curious and Kasey was terrified. All I could think to do at the time was hold one in each arm until they got used to each other. It didn't take long until they were curled up on the couch with me
