Jul. 16th, 2008 08:44 amfirst day of work was alright. i can definitely tell that i am low energy and my digestive system is still VERY disagreeable from the meds.
i have asked my boss for this week in half-days and then i can work more if i feel up to it. he hasn't responded yet. or maybe he thinks he has because we had a verbal discussion about it and he said, "just let me know."
i got to a point yesterday where i realized i'm not in much more pain off the meds than i am on them...so i am off them, and very much hoping that my stomach will calm down. i am averaging two small meals per day...which is great for my weight, but probably not so good since it is enforced. it's also a bit weird since i went though a couple of days of being ravenous all the time.
anyway, i'm glad to be off the meds and i'm even happier about the fact that i was able to sleep in the same bed as ross last night. very good news. it's too bad he's going to be in absentee husband mode soon as tech and previews for "little house" get under way. i'm really going to miss him. we've had such good time together the past few weeks.
also in other news, i finally finished the first of my brother amos socks!!! the kitchner stich on the i-cord bind off is a little bunchy, but other than that i'm quite pleased and i should be able to race through finishing the other sock now that i have worked through all the traps and snares of this ridiculously complicated and difficult pattern. it is easily the hardest pattern i have ever worked. but i do like the finished product. there will be pictures when the camera's replacement batteries come. they have already shipped, so that could be any time.
so mostly i am still resting a lot. i drove for the first time in 2 weeks yesterday to go get cat food in stillwater (because the place i normally go is on vacation). that was actually hard - but mostly because i was so hot walking around, not because of the driving. i am really psyched about batman this weekend and hoping hoping that ross has time to go see it with me.
