Today was a bit better than the past two days. Honestly, I don’t know what I was doing at work the past two days. When we stopped the birth control pills, I’d left a message for my doc that I was going to stop them, but that when my cycle returned I’d need her to be the big bad doctor in a white coat and tell me to stay home. Right now I can’t miss work without a doctor’s permission. One of the reasons I started down this path was that I was tired of having these excessive bleeding days that were usually accompanied with all sorts of other health issues. I’m almost always at work, but I feel miserable and I don’t get anything done because I spend the entire day in the bathroom. If I’m going to be dealing with that stuff, I’d just assume be in my own bathroom close to my own bed where I can sleep, and moan, and whine to my heart’s content in privacy.
But after so much missed work, when the time came and I was in that spot, I didn’t have the heart to ask for the note. I just suffered through. I also pretty much accomplished nothing.
Today was a bit better. While my concentration wasn’t good, I did have a few good hours at work. I didn’t accomplish everything I needed to complete really, but I did much better than the past two days. By 3:00 pm, however, I was pretty much toast. I’m hoping, however, that the improvement means I’m adjusting.
Instead of coming home and falling into bed, my friend Christian picked me up from work around 5:00pm and I took him to dinner. Christian is Annette’s husband. Their children are my Godchildren. I haven’t blogged much about how Annette is doing to respect her privacy. There are a number of family issues involved. But, I would appreciate continued prayer for her. She’s had some setbacks. Fighting cancer isn’t easy and honestly I didn’t expect that she wouldn’t have a few setbacks, but they’re very hard on the family. Christian loves her so much and he’s taking it especially hard. He worries so for her. He took a shower this evening at my house, got himself ready for the evening, and is spending the night on a cot in her room so she won’t be alone.
We ate a quick dinner because I wanted to get home. I’ve got a grant I’m working on as well as my talk for the genetics conference. I wanted to get to them before I completely ran out of steam. No such luck. As soon as he left, despite my best efforts, I fell asleep.
Since I’ve been awake again, and trying to work on these projects, my computer has crashed several times. Ohhh…if it will just hold it together one more month! Just one more month!
I don’t think the slice of pizza I ate for dinner agreed with me. Actually, I only ate half of it. Today I actually had an appetite, but when I’d get something to eat, I’d take four or five bites and suddenly not want the rest. Anything with tomato sauce is upsetting my stomach these days, so I ordered a slice with pesto sauce and chicken thinking that would be easier. I guess not.
As much as I’ve tried to concentrate today, I’ve had a lot on my mind (and right now it’s a mind easily distracted). Right now, including Annette, I have five friends in the hospital. It’s pretty pitiful when you have so many friends in the hospital, you can hardly keep up with everyone.
