Back to Work Monday

 Well my week off was fine but now it's back to work.  I've got a lot of things to get through and there are many things that I need to find out what is happening with and I'm slightly overwhelmed with it today.  There is also the fact that tomorrow I'm fully booked all day and my boss is off today so I am just floundering around.  It really is a bit of a crazy start to the week.

I'm also very tired and can't seem to get enough of the sleep I'm craving.  I've had naps and crashed early and am still ready to sleep at any time of the day.

I never heard back from my doctor about my bloodwork so I have to assume that everything is fine.  I did go online and look at my results but of course I don't understand what they mean and what is good or bad so I can say I saw them and that's about it.

I guess I should get myself back into work.  Have a good day everyone!

Waiting In Line

 This morning I decided to go get in line for the bloodwork that was ordered yesterday by the doctor.  There were about 17 people in line and already sitting waiting when I got there.  Thankfully it only took about 40 minutes for the whole thing to be done.  Now we just wait and see if everything is as it should be.  It was mostly just normal bloodwork but there was also some testing to see kidney function as well.  My blood pressure was high at the appointment to a level that we need to consider doing something.  So my excitement for the day will be picking and buying a blood pressure monitor.

The rest of my appointments went well.  Everything else was fine at the doctor's appointment, though we do have to wait for the Pap test results.  I'm sure those will be normal though as I had no concerns and only went because it was time.

I managed to get through my work shirts today and sorted out a bunch to go to Value Village.  Some I just didn't like anymore and some were not flattering.  My closet rod is happier already.  Next up, work pants!

Have a good day everyone!

Halfway Through My Holidays

 Today is the one day of my holidays that I have things marked on the calendar to do.  I have my semi-monthly appointment with my psychologist later this afternoon.  It's usually very quick and that's maybe good but I don't know what should be happening.  I've just started back on my pills again after a long break so we'll have to discuss that.  I've also completely stopped taking one of them as I can not swallow it any longer.  I'm sure he'll have something to say about that.  While I don't notice much of a difference between being on them or not, Hubs says he can tell when I'm off them.  I guess that means they do work but I've got to figure out how to live the rest of my life with them or find a way to be normal without them.

I also have my regular checkup with my doctor today.  I wouldn't have normally gone in as we're still in a pandemic but I got my letter stating that I was due for a Pap test as it has been three years.  I decided that making sure that everything is as it's supposed to be is worth the hassle of having to get all this done while masked and I'm sure he'll have further PPE on.  I have a few other minor concerns to mention but nothing that I'm actually too worried about.  I'm going to mention my probably broken finger that they can't fix now, my knee pain, and the difference in texture I feel between my breasts.  Hubs thinks I should mention my weight as well but I'm not sure what to say.  I'm definitely overweight but I don't think there is anything he can do about it.  We'll see how it goes.

I also want to go through my work clothes and put aside most of them as I will no longer be working out of the office and need a much smaller wardrobe for that.  I think if I do it in sections, like pants one day, shirts another, that it won't turn into this big mess that I need to get overwhelmed with.

Well, I'd best get a move on if I'm going to get anything done before this afternoon is taken up by appointments.  Have a good day everyone!

Tuesday

 It's my first day on holiday where I'm actually by myself.  This is a rare and unusual thing and I don't have many plans.  I've got some laundry to finish up, I plan to watch as much of my DVR'd programming as I can to get that back to a reasonable level, and I think I will begin the purge of many of my work clothes.  Beyond that, I'm going to cuddle the kitten and read some books.

There was some fresh snow on the ground this morning.  It was nice and fluffy and clean looking.  I enjoy it, even though it's getting close to the end of the winter months and I'm glad to have the warmth back.  It's nicer than the transition brown and slop that currently is around.

Not too much else happening today.  I've been resisting the urge to check my work email. Life will and does go on without me there.  No matter how much I'd like to think otherwise, I'm replaceable, just like everyone else.

Hope you all have a good day!

A Weekend Alone and The Start Of Holidays

 This past weekend I took some time to myself and booked a hotel room and went away.  It seems like a very selfish thing to do but for my own headspace, I needed to do it.  I was starting to have daydreams about hoping I would get some sort of minor illness that required me to be hospitalized just to have a break. That's not a good place to be in.

I checked in Friday night and watched a movie I had on the list for a while.  The Martian.  I loved it.  I had thoroughly enjoyed the book but the movie was good as well.  I had stocked up on some snacks and my favourite hotel thing, which is to have a glass full of ice machine ice and pop.  I love how it's pure cold goodness.  I stayed up late and just enjoyed being on my own.

Even with no one to bother me I was up early on Saturday.  I went down to get my bagged breakfast, started reading a book while I at it and just sat and read for 2 hours.  I haven't indulged in a book and just wasted time for so long.  It was glorious. I then went out to Value Village for a leisurely wander.  I found a few books and a couple shirts and wasted some more time.  I grabbed lunch and doughnuts for a treat and headed back to the room.
