Me sick, sick me

Went to the doctor today. The Melody is sick. With a bunch of different things, so I have a nice strict diet, with exercise as soon as I can stand up long enough to do anything, and the threat that if I"m not better in a few months there will be a hospital stay. It has also been suggested that I take some time from school. Strangely enough it was mentioned by several other people over the last few days too. Maybe they are on to something. I don't know. I need to think on it. It would mean I probably wouldn't go to Fredericton... I don't know. I probably wouldn't go back to university if I took a year off, I would probably find something a the community college or something. Which makes me rant about this whole issue of making money. I honestly don't care. Everyone keeps saying I want to go to get a job that will get me good money. I don't care. So what if the first few years after I get out of school consists of scrimping and saving. So what if I don't get to take a cruise or buy a house or a brand new car? I don't need alot of money to live. I don't want to take international trips every year or have a huge house with three cars. I don't mind having to be a working mother if whoever I'm with doesn't make enough money to support a family. Really, I"d be happy making enough money to save for that trip once in awhile or for building a house and to save something to live on after I retire.
I'm not looking for a job that's gonna give me lots of money... why is everyone telling me I need a job that's gonna give me lots of money? My family was perfectly comfortable on my father's very low salary. Sure, we never took huge trips farther than Moncton and we didn't get everything we wanted, but it was okay, we were comfortable.
Oh but they say that if I"m gonna go to university and have so much money in student loans I need to come out with a really good paying job. So why don't I just do something that will cost me half the money, take half the time and that will give me a decent paying job? And something I might actually like to do...
Maybe the doctor and everyone is right... maybe some time off might be a good idea. Some time to decide what exactly it is that I want to do, and am willing to do for a few decades. And its not like I'd be one of those students to take a year off and never go back. I"d definetly go back to school somewhere. I don't really know... But I"m gonna think on it. I have the rest of the summer to decide and see how healthy I am, and then another 6 or months after that to decide what to do the next year.
Anyways, I need to go strangle some cats... and tomorrow I need to find the energy to get to a store to buy some locks for my cupboard doors, so that my dishes aren't continuously covered in cat fur.
Off to cookies. I'm gonna bake. Later.
