So yesterday I went to Six Flags with all three of the Schmidt siblings. It was good. And fun. And very hot. I had a good time, and I think that the others did, too.
Buaagh
So, today is going to be my last day at Walgreens. Hm. It's kinda weird becuase now that I'm leaving, I feel as if I want to leave, as if I don't like my job. But that's not true. I do like my job. I know how to handle everything, well, mostly everything, and I'm good at what I do. My managers like me, and I like them. It's not like I'm desperate to get away (certainly not, because I get paid!), but I really am looking forward to not working there. I guess most people would be. After today, I'll get to have a normal sleep schedule, no more going to sleep at 12:30 am after evening shifts or waking up at 6 am for morning shifts. And no more doing both in the same night! No more customers you just can't please. "Ma'am, the pictures will lie flat when given time. They are a bit wavy now from coming through the rollers in the machine, but they will go flat." ("If I'm paying $7.99 for the one-hour service, I should be paying for them to be flat when I get them!") (And then, she chooses not to buy the pictures. Blah and frustration.) But no more of that! Of course, there will be some difficult customers at Uniforms Plus, too, I'm sure, but none of the instances ever reach the intensity of the ones at Walgreens.
I got to see a four week old baby last week while I was working the front desk. She was adorable and precious.
I don't like this post, but I'm not going to erase it, becuase it must be how I feel, and it's important to keep this here for myself. But, just know that I don't like this, and I would rather delete it.

This first statement is wonderful to me!
I'm not setting my alarm clock for tomorrow!!!!!!!!!
I can't even remember the last time I didn't set my alarm clock! How splendidly wonderful and happy this is! Even on my recent days off, I have had need to set my alarm, but now, NO! No, no, no! I am so glad! I do plan on actually doing stuff tomorrow, though. I need to go clothes shopping, go to church, and I might go see a movie with Peter after church, if rides and such work out. Then, back to work at Walgreen's Thursday morning. Friday, I'll be white water rafting with my youth group, and then Saturday and Sunday, I'll work the evening at Walgreen's. On Monday, I'm going to Six Flags, !!! and then Tuesday will be my last time working at Walgreen's!! The next two days, I'll be at my other job 4-7, and then I think I'll have that Friday and Saturday, *gasp* and SUNDAY off!!! Joyous! After this, I will not need to work nearly as much which is good, I think, because I'd like to have some summer time. You know, a few days to do nothing. I'll also need time to pack, and time to look for those curtains/drapes/something I'm supposed to get for our room.
I don't want to seem like I'm complaining just because I'm glad that my time at Walgreen's is almost over, it's just that it's been rough these last two days and the last week. *sigh* I do a lot of sighing when I work there. It's a good job, I can do it pretty well, and it pays. The equipment gets on my nerves sometimes, well, a lot, but that's because the printer was saved from the hurricanes in New Orleans. The computer freezes up and it causes our printer to not print the pictures. That gives us late orders which gives us unhappy customers which gives me stress, etc. Enough of that.
The other day, I was talking with a friend from here. Something she said stuck out to me. She is engaged and pregnant and she was talking about wanting to go look for baby things. She told me about some adorable clothes that she saw at one store and about how she really wants to buy them for her baby. She looked very happy and excited, but she told me that one lady had told her the other day to get an abortion: "I just laughed." She proceeded to say, "I didn't save sex for marriage, I'm already not right with God. I don't want to make it worse by having an abortion." That just stuck out to me and I wanted to write it down, or rather, type it out. I hadn't known what this girl, my friend had thought about God, and I just thought that it was neat that she would tell me something like this without knowing what I thought about God, either. I'm sad that I'm leaving Newnan in August now for this reason. I wish that I could do what I could to help her out. I don't know what I could do, but I'd want to try. Even if was just encouragement to get through the day or maybe stopping by her house sometime. I wish I could help.
Gosh, I feel like I'm never ready to help when my friends need me the most. This story here is not even at the top of my list of examples when I've let friends down when I should've been there to raise them up. When those times come, I feel like I don't know what to say, or I don't feel like I'd really be able to help them because I don't really know how they feel. I read a quote once that said something about how saying the wrong thing is better than saying nothing at all, but that doesn't really sit well with me. Course, neither does the fact that I just stay away from the problem because I'm scared of making a mistake. I even had a chance to do the right thing, twice, in April, but both of those times, I didn't do anything. This is not good, and I need to stop. That's what I said last time, too.
Courage, Lindsay. Courage for your friends. How would you want to be treated if you were in their situation? Go to them. Call them. Let them know that, if they need you, they can come to you. Ask them what you can do to help. Is that so hard? You love them, and you want to help them. Do this for them.
Okay. I will try.

Dun dun duuuun
Guess what, guys! I'm going to a cardiologist to get an Echocardiogram sometime soon!
"An echocardiogram (also called an echo) is a type of ultrasound test that uses high-pitched sound waves that are sent through a device called a transducer. The device picks up echoes of the sound waves as they bounce off the different parts of your heart. These echoes are turned into moving pictures of your heart that can be seen on a video screen." (http://www.webmd.com/heart-disease/Echocardiogram)
I'd gone to the doctor last Wednesday to figure out what was up with my heart sometimes feeling like it was being squeezed when I breathed. This, of course, isn't normal, and it was starting to get on my nerves. Well, the doctor listened to my heart and my lungs and things seemed fine. So he had an xray taken of my chest and I still looked fine. He basically said, "Lindsay, I don't know what's wrong with you." But he gave me some medicine to take to help with ny inflammation that may be going on. He said that if the pain still came after about a week, to call him and I'd have to go in again. Well, this Tuesday, it came again.
Mom went to this same doctor yesterday and she got to talk to him about me. She told him how my cousin had died a long time ago from a disease where his heart grew too big for his body. Mom's kind of a bit worried about me, I think. The doctor told Mom that I could go to a cardiologist to get this fancy test done, and he gave her the cardiologist's number.
This may be nothing, and I do hope that it is, but usually one doesn't have squeezing, annoying pain in the heart area if it's just nothing. I don't want to go to the cardiologist. I've decided that I don't really like doctor visits that are kind of important. Ick.
Besides this exciting stuff, I'm also on the lookout for new glasses and a new laptop. Dad's making pancakes for breakfast right now, and I think I'm hungry. I'm looking forward to August when I'll only be working at the Uniform shop. And, I think that I might be going on a white water rafting trip next Friday with my youth group, as long as it's not too late to sign up. Okay, that's all.
