I hate being sick

I feel like crap. I held my bagel down, but just barely. I ran to rainbow to get soup and goldfish crackers and I was going down the isle to get the goldfish and this woman was parked at an angle across the isle right in front of my crackers. I say excuse me and she says "I'll just be a sec I need to pick out cookies" I say that I need to get to the crackers she gets all huffy moves her carts call me a b*#&h grabs two bags of milano cookies and walks away. I didn't even give her attitude... I am too tired and sick to give attitude... all I wanted was my crackers

And because of that I forgot to grab cottage cheese. i hate people when I am healthy, today, she is lucky I didn't clock her.

I’m the schmuck

Yeah… It started on Wednesday night. I was all ready to go to bed when I opened my pill box to find I was out of my sleeping pills. Now I NEEEEEEEED my sleeping pills otherwise I sleep really hard for 2 hour wake up with a nasty migraine type headache that wont go away and then I can’t go back to sleep. It was 11 at night and I REALLY didn’t want to run Walgreens again, like the last 2 times my sleep pills ran out. I don’t think about them until it’s time to take them and then I end up at Walgreens at midnight. Anyway, I didn’t want to go so I got the bright idea to take the samples Rob’s doc gave him that didn’t work for him. Only I think… I have to take double doses of my normal sleep meds so I should take double of the sample meds because one didn’t work for Rob. Whoops!! First they made my legs really twitchy, then I finally fell asleep but it was crazy. I now know where they came up with their ad campaign, from someone who took the meds. It wasn’t exactly Abe Lincoln and a talking beaver but damn close. When I woke up I felt like SHIT. I would say a 6.5 on the pain scale. When I left for work I still felt under the influence of the meds and as I drove I almost lost what little coffee I had managed to drink. So I called Manager and tell him how I felt that I am half way there but don’t think I can make it can I call in sick. He told me no. HE TOLD ME NO. We had a tech flying in to work on our server and he NEEDED me to be there. I said I was going to be less then useless and he said that was ok. So I sat at work all day Thursday drinking ginger ale and tried not to get sick. I almost lost it twice while sitting in the weekly staff meeting. The tech’s flight was delayed and I kept asking if I could go home, “if he is not here by 5 you can go”. He got here at 445. DAMN IT!!! At 6 Manager said he had to go and I had to stay until the tech was done. I was less then happy. When Manager left I told the tech I was having a bad attitude day, but to his benefit I didn’t care if he took us off the air and/or fried the server. Luckily Tech said he had done all he could do for the night at 740, so I did end up working 8 full hours. When I got home at 815 I still couldn’t keep anything down and felt like the meds had me (as my hubby likes to say) by the booboo’s. Knowing how bad I felt and that I was going to pass out as soon as I hit the pillow, I backed out of lunch with my buddy Bret on Friday (today). I SUCK. I did get my pills and I did get some real sleep, like 14 hours. But I suck… and I owe Bret a beer.

Ahh Friday

I did call in sick to work yesterday and it was going to be a good day but…
I was outside sitting in the sun listening to Stargate on the laptop, reading my book with my sunglasses on when I heard the sputter of the sprinklers. I grabbed my regular glasses (that were sitting on the laptop), the laptop, the cell phone and the home phone and threw open the side door and tossed the whole lot in to the house just as the spout by the door went full blast. Everything was dry but the laptop landed on my glasses. When the sprinkler guy realized I was outside when the water was turned on he apologized he offered to pay for my book (the one thing I didn’t grab) and said that Barb (not the witch from across the street with the kids but another "board member" ) has been calling the company non stop to get the lawns green so they told her they would run the system all day. That was the end of my sun time. I ran over to the eyeglass place, thankfully they could bend them back into shape and tightened all the screws, for free. And they actually fit better now.

Today I am one step closer to pinning Bill down for some beers. I am taking the 30th off work so we can hang out. I am also using it as an excuse to pamper myself… get my nails done, maybe get my hair colored again. It has been well over 10 weeks since the last time. In fact it was the last time I was going to hang with Bill that I had that done… but he ditched me. I am going to have to damage him if he does it again. I am pretty sure he knows that by now. : ) I miss hanging with the guys…. Damn this being married, some with children and others living out of state crap. I don’t want to be an adult damn it! Ok… I am over it. But I do miss it.

Talk about a hell of a week

I am working 2-10 all week due to live programming I have to be at work for. It’s ok I like live programming but it sucks because this week Rob is working 7a-7pm on Thursday and Friday, meaning he will be in bed by the time I get home and I will need tv time before I can go to bed. The way this is going to work is Wednesday and Thursday nights I will most likely be sleeping on the couch until Rob gets up at 5am. I do this because I can not sleep without the TV on. If Rob and I go to bed at the same time he can deal if I turn it down and have the CC on but I can’t walk into the room at 2am and turn the TV on, that would wake him up and that really isn’t fair. I don’t have to leave for work until 1pm so taking a nap on the couch wont kill me, just my back J.

Yesterday while I was walking into work I managed to trip over air and I pulled the tendons across the top of my right foot. This in its self is not all that odd. I have torn and pulled every tendon in both feet countless times, starting with cheerleading in high school. It has gotten to the point where a strong breeze can tear the tendons. So I knew I had done something (other then embarrass the hell out of myself) but it didn’t feel too bad. Until about 3 hours later. I had a bunch of paper work to do when I came in so I wasn’t up and walking around. Then The Boss called saying he had left his keys in his office could I come to the front and let him in. I stood up… and almost fell down. Damn did that HURT, I guess my foot was swollen. When I got home I couldn’t bend my toes without pain shooting up my leg. Today there is a lovely shade of purple-green-brown going across my foot.

Not only am I walking funny but I look like I have been sobbing for hours on end. I haven’t, my allergies are kicking my ass. I have gone through 2 boxes of tissues and I my nose feels like I took a belt sander to it. The Boss asked if me every thing was ok, I sneezed and told him everything is fine. Allergy attacks always leave me feeling drained. All I want to do right now is crawl under the desk and take a nap. My theory on not felling well… when in doubt, sleep through it. Or take a steaming hot bath then sleep through it. If I am still this bad tomorrow I might call in dead. I have taken 2 forms of allergy meds and nothing is working. I have plenty of sick time stored up and can’t handle the idea of trying to work another day like this. I think I am working myself into migraine
