Sickies Unite!

I have had quite the past 2 weeks, man. And it hasn’t been all good.

I started Pizza Hut.. that went very well. I got back into the swing of things really quickly.. No problem. So yay for that!

Unfortunately, I went home from work my first night there and got really sick. I finally got this flu everyone keeps talking about. I was in bed for 3 days straight (other than the car issue, but I’ll get back to that).

I missed 2 days of PKC work.. which was the rest of my sick time (well.. I have 30 minutes of sick time left) until June. I missed my second night of Pizza Hut work… Then William wouldn’t let me come in my third night of Pizza Hut work to make sure I got completely over the flu. It was not pleasant.

As for my car… my precious car… When I was sick, I had to take my car into the shop. I forced myself out of bed at 7:30 in the morning.. pulled on some clothes..then made my way to my car like a freakin’ zombie. I then proceeded to get lost trying to find the body shop. It took me an hour to find it. I walked in… gave them my keys.. and waited for Enterprise to pick me up. I didn’t even talk to the woman so I have NO idea how long it’s going to be for me to get my car back (it’s been almost 2 weeks, already!)..which sucks.

THEN… to make things worse… Enterprise decided to be “nice” and upgrade me from a simple small car to a damn PT Cruiser! I HATE PT Cruisers!! AND I’m STILL driving the damn thing! Ugh! I was too sick and out of it to really say anything. At the time, I was like “uh huh..ok… “ just wanting to go back to bed. Totally sucks, too.

So I also missed one of my accounting classes… Then had spring break.. and I tried getting the 2 assignments that were due last night done..without knowing what I was doing. I did not succeed as I became too tired at 10:30 to try the last hour and a half I had to do it. I turned them in incomplete just to get some points. I was so stressed about it that I started crying. Rob had to sit there and put things in perspective. Yeah.. two 10-point homework assignments aren’t a big deal. I’m ok. Damn stress and lack of sleep can really make a person crazy..like really.

Some good things happened too, though. My mom generously got me tickets to Bodies Revealed for this Saturday! I’m super excited to see the exhibit! The first time I heard about it YEARS ago, I SO wanted to see it. It was in Chicago at the time, but we never got around to going. I can’t wait!

She ALSO purchased tickets to see Wicked: A New Musical. I just finished reading the book.. it’s about the Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West (from Wizard of Oz) and I heard the show was fantastic so I can’t wait for that!! That’s coming up in May! Yay!

In other news… I need to do my taxes.. but my PKC W-2 forms are in my car!! And I don’t know when I’m getting my car back! Ugh.. !

What's Good? Nothing.

I’m pretty sure the sudden flu I had has taken away my sense of taste. All of a sudden, NOTHING tastes good to me. In fact, whenever I eat or drink anything, it has a weird flavor that I can’t seem to handle.

For example, last night, Rob and I made tacos. MY tacos.. I cooked. I make the BEST tacos, like, EVER!

But last night, they weren’t good. They didn’t taste the same, or even close, and I made them exactly how I always make them. Even the Spanish Gardens taco sauce wasn’t as wonderfully delicious.

Mountain Dew is gross to me now, too.

I still drink coffee… but coffee has always tasted weird, so that’s no different.

I don’t know what happened. I do think, though, that I will take advantage of this strange phenomenon and diet. I will start eating foods that I don’t like, because I don’t like the foods I do like anymore. ..Does that make sense?

So I shall eat salads.. And lean meats.. drink more tea (mmm..I DO like tea).. less pop (soda?)… No sugar or greasy foods.. etc.

Now if only I could suddenly find a strange repulsion of inactivity….

Well That Didn't Work..

Ok. So I was originally planning on posting SOMETHING everyday, but that obviously didn’t happen.

Um.

Oops.. ?

I have an excuse, though! I swear!

Well.. first I just didn’t feel like it, but then I got sick. Very sick. Icky sick. It was not very fun.

Now… Let’s see here..

I finished up my work week. Saturday night, I started at Pizza Hut. I picked it back up pretty quickly after 6 years. Go me! (Hey.. sometimes, you just have to be your own cheerleader)

Saturday night after Pizza Hut, the flu decided to bitch slap me all of a sudden and I was down for the count.

It was about an hour after I got off work… I was feverish, coughing, sneezing, and all the other yucky flu symptoms. Poor Rob had to take care of me… give me medicine.. cold rags.. orange juice. I couldn’t get to sleep until about 4am.

I was in bed for days (with the exception of Monday morning..see below). I missed Prudential KC work on Monday and Tuesday. I missed Pizza Hut work on Tuesday, then William made me stay home on Wednesday as well to make sure I didn’t make myself or anyone else sick.

Now I’m just fuzzy-headed and out of it. You know.. for a second I thought I could get through this season without getting sick.. HA! I’m not that lucky!

Monday morning, I had to get out of my death bed to take my car to the shop. I, personally, had to go because I was getting a rental car and I needed to be there.

Those bastards gave me a PT Cruiser! Do you guys know how much I HATE PT Cruisers?!?! Of course you don’t! So take my word for it… I DO!

I think the only thing I like about the silly baby hearse (as I call it) is that it’s easy to get in and out of. Ugh.

Anyway.. I’m tired of typing and focusing and stuff. I’m going to go back to zoning out.

Ciao!

I think I might be a masochist..

Masochism is finding pleasure in hurting yourself… Not others. That’s Sadism. …I’m pretty sure.

Anyway.

I have hypothyroidism. Some symptoms of this stupid thing includes: depression, weight gain, sensitivity to cold, exhaustion.

I’m pretty darn positive there are others, but those are the ones that really stood out to me when my doctor was explaining this to me a few years ago.

I started taking the generic version of Synthroid and I was to get tested every 6 weeks. Well I totally suck at going to get tested…and taking meds everyday wasn’t something I was very good at. After a few years, and a few bumped doses, I started getting realllllly exhausted. I didn’t think much about it since I had been really stressed and not sleeping well.

SO.. I finally started sleeping well and calming down, but the exhaustion didn’t go away. I got tested and my levels were WAY off… or something. I had to change to “BRAND NAME ONLY” for Synthroid and they increased my dose again. I have to get tested again in about 4 weeks.

Here’s the deal: I’m still exhausted. I have no energy. It’s painful to be awake…and really irritating.

So what do I decide to do? Jam pack my schedule, of course, so I have little to no free time to rest!!

Brilliant, I say!

Sooo... Yeah... If I think I'm dead tired now..... oh man... I'm scared to think of what I'm going to do in a couple of weeks..

No. Nothing.

I actually don’t have anything to say today.

I’ll find something.

Last night after work, Rob and I went out shopping for shoes and pants.

I got black shoes for Pizza Hut work at Payless.

I also got black pants for Pizza Hut work at Wal-Mart.

That’s about it.

Now I’m back at work.

OH! I DID get paid today! I thought I was going to get paid tomorrow! So I paid my bills today.

……….

That’s just not interesting.
