It seems I'm fine. Normal healing aches, pains, and swelling. Isn't it lovely? Lol. Things change for me daily, so it's like I never know what I'm going to wake up to. It's so strange. And it's been a complete mind-scramble to be ailing for this long. It's like I wake up expecting and hoping to be well, but I'm not. And the end is nowhere in sight yet. It's hard, psychologically. But, I knew it would be. Nothing really can prepare you though. It's just a new experience to go through. Nothing like experience, huh?

They do want me to come in next Tuesday, as scheduled. So, I'll see my doctor then.

Also, about the job situation... no worries at all. I have a job waiting for me at the store, in the garden center, and working with the plants. But I'll also be doing other things in the garden center as well. It'll be similar to the job I was doing, just some extra things added on. My friend, who I text from work, said they are offering to help me with the online app, but that shouldn't be necessary. I can probably figure that out myself. She said they're all super excited I'll be working directly for the store. They are happy to hear I quit the other company. That company has a bad rep with the store. And I understand completely why that is.

Today, she said my "team lead" showed up in tears, telling them she was scared because she might not find a replacement soon, as two interviews didn't even show. My friend said she *almost* felt sorry for her, but she didn't. Lol. Remember, this is the chick who went behind my back bad-mouthing me to people who knew better. They all defended me to my own manager! This is one of those cases of where two older females were treating me like crap just because they hated me for being me. I threatened them by being more educated, more mature, and have infinitely better work ethics. It's sad that it goes on in the workplace, but it's a fact. They criticised me every chance they got. Now, the store will go through a string of crappy employees hired by these same two women. Management will end up sending them all away, just as before.

What's going to be awkward is that I'll be there when this crappy individual shows up to pretend she is managing the place. I'll be there, and she won't be able to do or say anything to me or about me. I'll be protected by the other company. That is nice payback.

The lady I was to speak with this morning form corporate told me to wait until I've healed and can speak properly. She told me not to worry about it, that she has her phone on at all times, and I'm welcome to call her anytime. I will probably type up a very detailed email of what happened, and then follow up with a phone call.
