March 30th, 2008 Artistic, Medical and Fleas

For those of you who aren’t Following me on Twitter (everyone but Mitch, shame on you!) I posted a tweet earlier about a new website I’m starting to work on. It’s titled Happyvenus and you can find it at happyvenus.net. There’s nothing there yet but a quick little splash I made with said domain name but here’s to the future!

I plan to at least attempt at something creative with that site, be it a photo blog of sorts where I post a pic I drew or maybe post up some designs I make. I’m not quite sure yet but I know I want to do something artsy-fartsy with it! I guess this will psych me up some more for my Wacom Bamboo tablet I’m still waiting for in the mail. Can’t wait to get it and practice with it! I haven’t drawn in forever but I plan to get back into it especially with the tablet. I pray this helps my web designing too.

I mentioned in the last post that I’m dumping the college scene and going to get a few medical licenses. College isn’t for me, it isn’t for everyone. I’ve had a tough time lately where my friends and family are split with my decision. A lot of them are telling me “You’re stupid for dropping out of college!” and some support my idea saying things like “It’s not college, but it’ll still earn you money. You’ll still get an education, and your dreams are what’s most important”. Of course I like the second opinion best! I’m in no way going to change my mind about this, but I would like to know what you all think of my plans.

At the end of April I’m going to start classes for four weeks in the field of medical billing and coding. Basically, medical coding entails that said person takes care of patients’ charts, using a universal coding method to mark things like symptoms on a chart and handing it over to a doctor. Medical billing is pretty much collecting money from the patients and insurance companies. It sounds boring, but it’s a steady job and an easy one. Plus it pays pretty well. Once I’m done with the classes I take an exam, and gain my medical billing and coding license that allows me to work in that field.

The second license is an EKG license. EKG experts strap a patient to a machine that prints out heart results like rate and so forth by attaching electrodes to the chest etc etc. This is easier than medical billing and coding, but is more secluded AKA lonely. Plus it pays less. This is also four weeks.

Then from there I’ll see what I do. Obviously look for a job. There are a few clinics really close to home so I’ll try there first.

What do you all think?

Blah. Simba still has fleas. There were dots of blood / black pepper (which are both flea poop. flea drinks Simba’s blood -> poops it out) in the sink this morning. Yeah, he sleeps in the bathroom sink. So I went out around noon and bought flea and tick powder. Supposedly if you rub it in his fur and skin real good, the damn things will die. I don’t have faith in any of these flea cures anymore except for medications like Advantage and Frontline but we can’t afford it. We need to settle for a cheap and quick fix until we can go and pay for his meds monthly.

My poor kitty. He’s an angel, too.

   HappyVenus is such a cute domain name! I’m so excited to see what you’ll do with it. ♥

   I think you should do what you believe is right for you. Don’t make other people make decisions for you. Just seek out your own path to happiness. :)

   Aw, poor Simba! I hope his fleas go away soon! :(
