Today is an especially gloomy day around my neck of the woods. It's cooler than usual for September, it feels a lot more like October or November. There isn't a lot of sunlight, which isn't either good or bad, just the way it is I guess. It rained last night and earlier this morning, so we were able to get some moisture, it has been so incredibly dry around here lately. But my allergies have been acting up as a result of the weather change, and I think it has also affected my energy and pain levels for the worse in the past few days.
I let myself sleep in later than usual this morning, as I really didn't see the point in not taking a day to do so. For the past week I've been going out and about every day and doing something somewhat strenuous every day. Thankfully, we're done moving my things which is a huge relief to me. All I have to do is get my friend Brittany's things out of there and go through and tidy up a little. My landlord needs to go through the apartment with me and hopefully I will get my cleaning deposit back. Tomorrow I have a very busy day ahead. At nine I have my World Civilizations class, then I need to do my cleaning, then I have to go to public utilities to pay my last electric bill and let them know I've moved out. I should be getting my deposit back from them as well. My appointment with the neurologist, Dr. Pao is tomorrow. I hope she has some answers for me, something that will give me some much-needed pain control and comfort, and release me to go back to work. Yes, I realize that's a very tall order. But, I've been sitting here with my life "in limbo" for the past three weeks (today marks three weeks since my last seizure). I don't think anyone can really blame me for feeling the way I do. With that being said, I have no desire to go anywhere out of my house today, so I'm not going to. I'm hoping my friend Brittany will just stop and get my key and get her things out and bring my key back. I don't have much of a desire to move at all today. I'm thinking about taking some pain medication with supper (I have to take it with food).
By Tuesday, hopefully (fingers crossed, toes crossed etc.) I will be back in the saddle at work and have the chance to start getting back into the swing of my life again. I can't tell you how much I've missed Grandma May, Grandpa Bob, and all of my residents as well as the rest of my little family which includes my coworkers. Being gone from work has been both good and bad. It's been good because I've had a chance to get a good start on school, which is really important. I'm hoping to be far enough ahead in Sociology that I can worry a little less about it. So far, I'm about a chapter ahead, but I'm hoping to be at least two or three chapters ahead by the time I go back to work. It has also been good because it's given my body a chance to get more nutrition and to recover from all of the stress I have been putting on it for over a year. I need to stop that, I need to make sure my body is getting as much nutrition and hydration as humanly possible.
Well...I guess I don't have much else to say right now. I guess it's just a hurry up and wait situation right now. Ugh. Tomorrow needs to get here faster, but I also have a ton to do before then. Wish me luck. I need it.
