another day of rest

Another day of rest

Yesterday all I did was sleep. I had good sleep Wednesday night but all the walking I did Tues and Wed caught up with me. I slept with the puppy Wed night because her jerkoff daddy left her in quite a state. Then I slept all afternoon with her. I missed my appts. I was too tired to care. My DMH worker called me like three times. I guess she was calling from the landline and it was hanging up on her or something. She finally left me a message with her cellphone. I texted her when I was a little more awake. She got our time wrong, again.

All I wanted to do today was shower, brush my teeth, and read a chapter in my textbook. I have yet to do any of those things and someone took my toothpaste. I need to find another tube. I think I have one. I took my weight loss drug today and for the first time it made me nauseous. I am glad I have Zofran.

I had weird dreams last night about my mother. One was visiting her at the cemetary and another one was visiting her in the hospital. It was both weird. I got a slight headache when I woke up but it went away with coffee. I ordered some groceries as we needed eggs and I needed half and half. I managed two cups of coffee and still got an upset stomach afterwards, even though I had it with food.

Today was a nice day but the pollen count was really high and I have had bouts of sneezing. Sox are back in town playing the Astros. Rookie pitcher tonight against a not so good pitcher. I hope the Sox take advantage.

another long day on campus

Another long day on campus

My bitch sister woke me up when she was getting ready for work because she had to pet the puppy. The puppy was laying on me. I had gone to my niece’s bed because I had such bad reflux I couldn’t lay down on my bed. Her bed is adjustable and my sister had elevated the head, which is what I needed. I slept good otherwise tho I didn’t want to get up when my alarms went off. I had set one at 830 and another at 930, a half hour before my therapy appt. I reluctantly got up like 10 minutes before the appt.

We talked about class. I told her how I was going to leave early today to talk to my lecturer about my grade. About 15 minutes before we ended she asked how I was after our last session where we talked about the trauma of my second relationship. I told her because I was sleep deprived, I kept getting anxiety attacks whenever I tried to doze off. Normally I would take an Ativan but I had class to attend and I couldn’t risk falling asleep on the train or in class. We also talked about my upcoming surgery and the help that I will possibly need. Some time during the month of May I need to clear my bed and change my sheets. I am going to ask the bitch sister to help me because I get overwhelmed by everything and then I don’t do anything. I told my therapist I feel lazy and she gave me the what would you say to a friend speal. I hate that rhetoric.

After therapy, I made coffee. I didn’t know what to eat. I had a biscuit thingy but I was still hungry. I went down to my sister’s apt and made a cold cut sandwich. I had some chips with it. Then I stole some almond Joy mini bars. It is one of my favorite candies. I went upstairs and had another cup of coffee. I drank the rest of my Powerade during my therapy session. I think I have another UTI so I am taking pyridium. It’s helping with the uncomfortable sensations and urgency. I just hope I don’t pee my pants again.

I played my game until it was time to leave for campus. I left around 230 and got to campus around 340. I had something to eat at the food court to pass the time as the lecturer’s hours didn’t start until 4. Then I walked across campus to her office. I had to stop a couple times because my legs were still killing me from yesterday. I don’t know how they are going to be tomorrow when I will be walking about the same distance around Boston between my DMH worker’s office and the hospital building I need to go to for my ultrasound. The lecturer said that if I get at least a 70 on the next exam and final, I should be able to pass with a C. I was so relieved. I had an hour before class started after I met with her. I had to walk across campus again and a little more to the auditorium where class was held, which was the last building next to the campus center. Class was good and she let us out 5 minutes early. I still missed the bus when I got to my station. I had to wait a half hour for the next one.

I came home and the puppy was crying when she saw me. I petted her and then told her to go up because I had to pee. She went into the bathroom with me. She just wanted pets. Then she went upstairs because my sister left the stairs unblocked. She sat outside my bedroom waiting for me. I told my sister I was too tired to go downstairs tonight. I normally would have slept with her as my niece still isn’t home. I don’t know where she is and it is pissing me off that she isn’t taking responsibility for her dog. I told her I was having surgery and wouldn’t be able to care for the pup for a couple of weeks. She never responded. My legs are killing me and my left leg is all swelled up and painful. I hope the ultrasound tomorrow isn’t painful. I think I might wear my PJs just so I don’t have to change. I seen people wear their PJs all the time. Mine are flannel and can pass as street clothes.

lab is over!

Lab is over!

I did not want to get up today. I just wanted to stay with the puppy. It was a nice day. It reached 57 which isn’t bad. I just wore my sweatshirt. I left for lab kind of late because the puppy was on me and I didn’t want to move. But I had to. I got dressed and almost forgot my lab manual. I went back to get it.

The bus was kind of late to arrive. It had said 16 minute but it was more like 20 before it showed up. The train was ok. I got to campus with a half hour to spare. I saw my lecturer and wanted to speak to her but I was too scared to approach her. I will see her tomorrow during office hours. She still has not responded to my emails.

The lab TA said this was going to be our last lab and I was internally jumping for joy. She said I was failing lab and that I could submit a prelab that I missed on one of my absences. I thumbed through my manual and found one I filled out but didn’t turn in. She accepted it. I am hoping that with the essay grade, I can pull up to at least a solid D. We did E. Coli work today and it was fast. I left around 4pm. I was going to go to Chipotle to celebrate but the damn bank closed and I couldn’t use my card again. I had to go to another ATM closer to me to get a withdrawal. I will go tomorrow after class.

I went to the pharmacy and picked up my meds. By the time I reached it, I felt like I had to pee again but I went before I left campus. I got a Gatorade and while I was paying for it, I lost control and leaked. I feel like I have another UTI. I took pyridium when I came home. It is cold in my room as the temp dropped and the wind has picked up.

I listened to the Sox on the way home last night. I don’t know how I stayed awake till the end of the of game but I did. They won 5-0. Tonight, Tolle is on the mound. He had a terrific start his last outing but his relievers let him get a no decision which I was pissed about. Sox have won their last three games. Hope the winning continues. We’ll see…
