Gimme a Break!

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Weight: 227 lbs.

Sniff, snaurk, snuffle. I don’t feel so good. I have a bad headache, a runny nose, sneezes and feel run down. Crap - I hope I don’t have the dreaded FLU.

This hasn’t effected my appetite any yet though, and I managed to inhale half of yesterday’s leftover turkey and cheese sandwich for breakfast, and a large handful of cashews that I keep hidden in my office drawer, for “lunch.” Not exactly a great diet, but decent protein to start me out.

Now I just wanna nap, having come home from work before Tom for a change. I may just do that after I blather here.

Perhaps my manic weekend and excitement over my “anniversary” yesterday has weakened me…’cause I just feel like I need a big break before I can drag myself on from here. I also realized that I am only taking one (30 mg) iron tablet a day (chewable), and wonder if this is enough. I will hafta look this up, as I am now worried that I’m not getting enough now that I have stopped “drinking” that vile liquid rust tasting iron.

I also need to plan a decent dinner for Tom and I - and food impaired that I am, it will likely have chicken or tuna or soup as it’s main ingredient, as even under normal circumstances I can’t quite muster what it takes to prepare anything more elaborate than this. I fear that a trip to the grocery store may be called for - but hope that I can figure something decent from whatever we have laying around, instead.

Where’s chef Ramsey when you need him?!

In the only other news today, I did send off an e-mail to the clinic supervisor of the p/t job that I interviewed for, indicating that I still wished to come aboard, but could only consider this at a certain per diem rate. Although this felt presumptious, snooty and even spoiled of me to do this, good advice I got from friends helped me to consider that my services shouldn’t go so cheaply, and that it would be wrong of me to either await his response BEFORE making this clear, or to just “settle” for less. Although this may jeopardize my chances, it is a chance that I am now willing to take. I have to remember that I am already employed and likely can build my hours over time at my current job, and that I needn’t grovel for work or accept less for the same responsibilities.

So, for now I am sitting tight and somewhat anxiously awaiting a response….and will focus on tending to current needs and realities while I do so. Like that nap, dinner and my long day at Aspire (9-7) tomorrow.
