This is KSena

Usually a friendly sort. Be nice to me, and I am nice to you. Here I ramble on about me, life, work and fandoms. I am a fan of Robin of Sherwood, Xena: Warrior Princess, Buffy: the Vampire Slayer, Pirates of the Caribbean, Tokio Hotel and Sons of Anarchy. I don't apologize for anything I write here. This is my mind. And you entered it. Welcome.

I see so many people writing like... wrap ups of 2016, but I don't know really what would be the best part of my year. Of course, I'm saddened about all the losses of great legends this year. Just like every one else. But what about me?

Well, the worst part was definitely breaking my leg AGAIN!!! And feeling absolutely useless towards [profile] peting73 and feeling like I am abandoning my job. *sigh*

I guess the best part would be my job. I got it in December 2015 and I found out like... December 2016 that it was indeed permanent. It's been hinted at ever since I got it that my predecessor would NOT be coming back, but now it's a definite thing. That library is mine now. Officially.

And my boss is fucking awesome, so I'm really happy about that to.

My kid, well... She keps surprising me every day. From 3½ to 4½... A lot has happened with her development wise and she's a "big kid" now. :-) <3

So personally, 2016 didn't suck. But legend wise? It sucked ass.

But such is life. I'll quote my grandfather when he told the story of his birth, death is just part of life.

He's right. It is. So I mourn. But I live life still.

I logged in here. Again. Geezes... It's been ages.

Well, maybe not ages, but damn girl. I've never not written anything here for this long. (Weird sentance is weird.)

And as I sit here writing I can feel how good it feels.

Note right away: I will NOT read up on anything I have missed! If you feel I need to know something, tell me!
And I've cleaned out my friends list some more, because man oh man... If I can't remember who you were or why I friended you, I'm sorry... You're still free to stay if you wish.

Anyway.

I broke my leg. Again. The same leg I broke two years ago. But not at the same place. But at two (!) other places. FML. :-/

So that was fun. Not. And just when I'd really gotten into my job to. Like, I knew what I was doing, I had plans, I kept busy all day, the teachers liked me, the kids liked me, even the hooligans at that school liked me (even if they didn't respect me at all times). And now I'm on sick leave for 3 months and have to work up all those relationships again. Blah.

I also had an infection in my leg that did not feel very good, no. :-/ It felt like the leg was going to burst, basically. But at least I've had antibiotics for that and it's gone now. Took my stitches from the surgery out today and the nurses that did so did show some concern over the colour on my leg though, so I'll go in for another checkup just to be sure. I hope it's nothing. I don't want to be on more sick leave than I have to.

Reason I miss my job is that I really feel like I'm doing something good there. Like I belong in that troubled school and with those kids. A school library might not be able to do much, but it can do SOMETHING. And me not exactly being the normal librarian, I guess that is in my favor to. Hell, I've even had fanfic classes! X-D

So now I'm bored at home, so I figured in between playing World of Warcraft, roleplaying, Instagram, Twitter, Plurk and following my favorite YouTube channels, I could start post again. Why not? It usually clears my head putting down my life in words, so it's mostly for me. I am just opening up my mind to anyone else to see to. :-)

Fevercramps...

This weekend I tell you. This freaking weekend... Geezes...

It started good enough. Stayed up late Friday and slept in on Saturday. Was lovely. Then we went shopping Alexandra and I. And once home I started preparing for the LARP that night, what with packing props and clothes and makeup and stuff. While I did that [livejournal.com profile] peting73 made dinner which we then ate. Alexandra had a soda, so she had that for dessert. Then I left to go to the LARP.

Normal LARP-Saturday. Nothing strange really.

Then I got a text from [livejournal.com profile] peting73 that Alexandra had thrown up, but she was fine and they'd dealt with it and she was now sleeping. His guess and mine to, was that she'd had to much soda. It has happened before.

Like 30 mins later I get a frantic call from him that Alexandra had violent cramps was burning up and he'd called emergency.

CUE PANIC!

So I got rid of the prosthic ears, weird contacts and props I had on, packed my stuff in record speed, grately helped by my sweet young LARP-friends, and rushed to the hospital. We got there about the same time, and man...

She was SO OUT OF IT. Geezes... I did not recognize my daughter. As soon as we moved her around (sometimes she wanted dad sometimes she wanted mom) there were jerks and spasms running through her little body and she saw things not there and she couldn't relax her spine, couldn't breath properly since her airways had cramped to and it was just... horrifying. My little girl...

The staff at the emergency room was WONDERFUL though! I have to say. So wonderful. We were soon moved to the kids emergency room and then got a room to sleep in, since they wanted to have her stay over night for observation. Which we did.

She'd started to cramp around 1:30am, and at 4am she was considerably better, not that much of them cramps and spasms anymore. I stayed with her at the hospital and she feel fast asleep, as did I as soon as I could see she was relaxed and breathing normally.

Slept until 8am when they checked on her and we got breakfast. They tested her some more and gave her meds since she still had a high fever, we called [livejournal.com profile] peting73 so he came to join us. But it was declining since she responded well to the meds. The doctor checked on her, and since Alexandra was back to her normal self, we got sent home.

After about 1 hour home, her fever rose again and fast. No cramps but she was not responding to the liquid fever killing med we have at home. She had refused food all day, still she threw up a few times. Not fun. Got the advice to her the kind of medication you take through your rectum. I have no idea what that is called in english, but it's the same meds, you just take it differently and it's good for little kids since they throw so eaisly and then lose the effect of whatever meds you take liquid.

So I ran off to buy that and fix food for me and [livejournal.com profile] peting73.

It took a bit for the meds to have an affect ("I don't want meds through the bum, mommy!"), but when it did, it really did. She was tired, but definitly back to her self again and the fever FINALLY went down to more normal levels.

She is sleeping calmly now, breathing good and is not even closely as hot as she was eariler today.

SUCH a relief! But man... Fuck. That was not a fun weekend. *sigh*

PS. Did I mention I've lost my voice as well???

So... I decided to cut a bit more in my flist. I'M SO SORRY! I thought I'd be able to keep up the way it was, but... apparently not. I really really hope this was enough of a cut so I can keep up now. Since I kinda don't want to cut more. To those I had to let go, it's been GREAT knowing you!

Anyone is OF COURSE free to cut me from their f-list as well. I don't mind at all. :-)

And now onwards to something totally different.

Easter was great, it really was. We went to my mothers and spent the night and got spoiled. As per usual. :-) Mom's gentleman caller was there to. They spend as much time as they can together. He is really nice, with a great sense of humor and makes my mom very very happy, so I am happy for her.

I did do one stupid thing though. My sensitivity against cats BLEW UP! Because I forgot to eat my meds. :-P You're supposed to eat them a few days before exposure to whatever it is you are allergic or sensitive against, and... I didn't. Stupid. *face-palm* I have no problem with our cats, but moms? Yeah, problem. And I can't help but cuddle with them, because they are GORGEOUS! And LOVES being cuddled. And totally spoiled. :-)

Plus I got to meet my wonderful, wonderful little brother that I love so dearly! And his kids! BONUS! :-D

So we had a great time!

Only sad thing was that when I talked about my job, which I am sorta proud of managing the chaos and I do very much care about the kids... I found out that mom's gentleman caller was somewhat racist. :-/ Fuck. As soon as he found out the amount of refugees it's in the area I work and sorta how many refugee kids there is at the school I work at... The previously relaxed happy talk turned... less so. Geezes. So disappointed. And he clearly hadn't read up, because he didn't need to, according to him. 'That kind of people are always like that.' *head-desk* UGH! So I just stopped him right there and said I would NOT discuss this until he'd read up on shit and knew what the hell he talked about. 'The Koran tells them to kill and harm.' Seriously? BULLSHIT! Open the damn book before you speak! I am so not talking about my job near you ever again.

Anyway, so apart from that, I had a good time. And Alexandra to, which was wonderful. As always though, she hardly ate anything. And then we came home Monday afternoon and she ate to much and to fast and... threw up all over herself at bedtime. *SIGH* So I had to stay home from work one day so she could recover from that.

The three days I did work has... been both lazy and batshit stressful at the same time. Yeah, I don't even know. And there hasn't been any kids in the library either, or the entire school! I got emails about meetings left and right and... Then noticed that on Wednesday and Thursday next week I'm supposed to be at two or three places at the same damn time. WTF??? I had to ask my boss what to give priority to. *shakes head*

Thank heavens it's the weekend now. And this will be a good weekend, I just KNOW it!

Tomorrow I get to sleep how long I want. SO RARE! SO NICE! OMG! I LOVE MY SLEEP INS! And then tomorrow night it's LARP-night. And I'll play my mentally idiotic but physically extremely strong Gangrel vampire... Let's see how much trouble I can get her in this time? X-D I've played her for nearly 4-5 years now, and she's a riot to play. She really is. It has ended up a bit of a sport for me to see how much shit I can get her in and if I can even get her out in one piece. X-D So far so good. She's still alive (sorta) and kicking. ;-)

I also thought the post apocalyptic Fallout LARP last summer would be the last one in that world/setting, but I found out a few weeks ago that there would be a new one this year. Since the city was NOT going to destroy the lovely military training area were it's been held, but instead restore it somewhat and clean up all the shit in the area. AWESOME! Means there will be A LOT of LARP's and soft airgun games and paint ball games and other sorts of nerdy activities there... And the city gets paid a nice rent every time anyone wants to borrow the area. ;-) Win-win for everyone! It really is a perfect place for a post apocalyptic LARP!

And in a couple of weeks there'll be a special vampire-LARP to! Set in the same world we normally play in, but the medieval ages. [livejournal.com profile] peting73 didn't want to go, so told me to. :-D YAY! Gonna be fun!

My weekend...

... was quite good. Apart from one mayor stupid mishap that I did today... I'll get to it.

Saturday we spent with [livejournal.com profile] peting73's cousin. What with his mom and aunt being really close, they more or less grew up together since neither have any siblings, so whenever we hang out she grows all excited and is loving on her older cousin. She has a small mental handicap and lives in a special apartment where she has access to staff 24/7. It's a great great place, quite new and I have great envy of her wallpaper (no joke!). She ADORES Alexandra so it was a great great time going there to visit and celebrate her birthday. :-D She lives really close to. We can see the house from our kitchen-window. :-)

Evening was spent eating holy unhealthy US food and watching Game of Thrones (as I've mentioned) and just hanging out on the internet while hubby was at the LARP.... I can not believe I'm actually caught up with my f-list. Actually a bit impressed by self. :-)

Today though was when I did the stupid... Usually I drink between 2-3 traveling mugs of tea... Today I didn't. I hung out with Alexandra while hubby slept, just being lazy in the couch. And then when he woke up, we decided one of us go outside with kiddo and the other cleaning the floors and vacuuming the place. Alexandra wanted to go out with me, so that was what happened. Cue no tea. She had a bit of a temper tantrum to when I told her she had to bring her own toys back inside when we were done playing. Not popular.

And during all of this a massive headache started to grow. And it stuck with me during dinner, during cuddles with Alexandra, during finishing the cleanup of the apartment and during me going grocery shopping... It does not a happy KSena make. :-P It didn't disappear until I had some tea after Alexandra had gone to bed.

So in other words it's official, something I never thought would happen... I'm addicted to tea. Oops? Will not make that mistake again, let me tell you.
