- I decided to take a vacation day today. I love it that I can do that. Of course, I'm still kind of working- just not as hard.
- Today is Heidi's birthday. I'm such a bad- bad- bad sister. With all that's been going on, I kept forgetting to get her a card. Now she'll get one of those "sorry I'm late, but really I was thinking about you" cards. Happy birthday sis- I love you more than you could ever imagine.
- Still no news on the job front. I'm pretty sure that I'll either be a transitional employee or kept on by the new company. While speaking my mind about wanting to be a transitional employee, I was kindly reminded that this was not politically correct, we need to play by the rules, and that I'd make a great [new company] employee. Meh. He was right though. I am where I am because I play by the rules. and then some...
- I sold my latest toy and bought a new one. It's the cat's meow and is a keeper. I'll blog about it for product review Sunday.
- Speaking of cat's meow- BJ and I have been hating on our mattress. We've only had it for two years and it's a piece of junk. We both have been waking up with aches and pains every morning and refused to believe it was because we're getting old. We bought a sleep numbers mattress over the weekend and I have to say that I've had two nights in a row with NO shoulder pain in the morning. It'd become a part of my life for the last 6 months or so, and it's nice to see that behind me. If you need a mattress and have lots of money to burn (we really don't-but it was worth it), buy it. I'll give the sleep numbers a three thumbs up after I have an extra thumb surgically implanted.
- My brain is hanging in there- but I'm starting to see the effects of the stress I've been under the past month. A couple of days ago, I starting to jerk again, walk like a drunk, and been having a hard time finding words when I'm talking. I'll either say the wrong word or keep repeating the same word over and over again. I told FCW yesterday to just call me Rainman. The good news is that I know now that this will pass once the stress is over. I've had a really good roll of great brain months. I see my neurologist on Monday for my regular check in and will see if we can up my meds while I'm under the stress. If not, that's OK- it's doable. I'm just happy that I now see the pattern and it doesn't depress me because I know that it WILL get better once the stress subsides. I have some great people at work looking out for me and are being as protective as they can in not passing too much over the fence to me right now. They're also very understanding when the cold engine won't start because I've been honest about why I'm suddenly stupid. I'm glad that I have really supportive co-workers. How lucky am I?
- We're not going to talk about what's going on with my liver right now because ya know? I really want that elephant in the room to go back to the zoo. This too, shall pass. Yay for nausea and pain meds! Oh, and a four day weekend to sleep it off.
- Thanks for all your support, kids. I'm really lucky and I know everything will be fine eventually. I guess that's what counts, eh?
Enjoy your Friday. I've decided to slow down and not use my super espresso maker. I'm using the
stovetop expresso maker that Cameron and Kathy gave me for my birthday, and drinking out of one of my special espresso cups. I fell in love with espresso made that way when we went to Italy and it's a special treat for me when I make it this way at home. Sure it takes longer and is more muss and fuss then the automatic, but gosh darn it, I deserve the fuss.
