I'm exhausted. Flat out Exhausted, still. even after a weekend that was pretty mild, and full of a good bit of resting. Last week, i pushed myself pretty hard. In fact I'm pretty sure i over did it. What did i do that was so draining you ask? well I was off Chemo, so that was a big plus for once, however, i ended up getting up early every day except Wednesday, and going in to the office to work. That's right, i actually went in to the office, and worked the entire day four days last week.
Monday and Tuesday, Emily and I car-pooled together. It was awesome. I really enjoyed our ride to and from work together. Yes, i had her get to work real early so she had time to kill, and yes, i had to stay late in the parking lot and wait an hour after i got off work, but it was nice being able to car-pool together. I was very tired each night though, and pretty much just had supper each day and went to bed. Wednesday i stayed home and worked from home, so it wasn't that exciting.
Thursday I drove my own Truck in to the office, and she drove her car. I got sent home a little early as it was a slow evening, and i was exhausted and my co-workers could tell. I fell asleep when i got home promptly at like 330 pm, and didn't wake up until after Emily had finished cooking supper. I ate supper and went back to sleep till the next morning. Friday morning we car-pooled again, This time because at lunch i had to take her car to Jim Hudson GMC for it's 30 day checkup. All went well with that, except they are ordering a new steering wheel to be installed for it, as the plastic trim on it isn't exactly fitting perfectly. They'll call me once the new parts are in, and schedule a date for me to bring the car in for repair/replacement. So after that, i went back to the office and worked the rest of the day. I left work and went to wait to pick Emily up. We picked up supper and went home. Ate, and watched some Live PD before bed. I was dozing mostly during the live PD though, and dont remember much of anything.
Saturday rolled around, and Emily let me sleep in as much as I could. Unfortunately that is not much because i tend to get headaches if I stay in the bed too long. I did nap some more on the couch while she did some Grocery shopping and went to Pets mart to get some litter for the cat. That afternoon we met a guy about a gun, and had a quiet evening. Emily had really worked hard all morning/ day cleaning, changing litter, etc. I did go with her to the dump, so we did do that too. It was a busy day for her more than me, but I was still exhausted.
Sunday rolls around, and yet again, Emily and I are exhausted still. I end up sleeping quite a bit, either in bed or on the couch, and she does the same. She also was kind enough to go to CVS for me and get my medications, while cooking a home made crock pot chicken and dumplings, which were exquisite. I really enjoyed them, and would love to eat them a lot more honestly. but they are so filling that one serving is all you can manage. It was early to bed for me then too, as I knew i needed my rest considering that i had to work on Monday.
Monday, today, is the beginning of the week. I'm working from home again. After last week's learning of a new ticketing system, which is primarily what i do, I needed to test out how i'd work from home doing what i would now be doing from home as its totally different from what it was last 2 weeks ago. Luckily half way through the day, it appears to be going well. I'm still exhausted mind you, and i started chemo again today. Which is not my happiest thing to do, but so be it.
Later this week, i have a dentist appointment and i have to go get an ultrasound on my abdomen, due to elevated liver enzyme levels at the last time i was in my oncologist office. This should be a busy week, and I sure hope i can get some meaningful rest. Time will tell. I've not decided if or when i'll go back to the office to work. Maybe i will do one day this week, i am not sure yet. a lot depends how i feel and what all i have going on with doctor appointments.Anyways, im going to sign off for now, and i'm gonna leave you without any neat photo inserts this time.. just a nice big, wall of text.
