I never take anything for anything, but I’ve never experienced a level of pain like this before, so I took everything.
I wiped my liver clean of vital antioxidants with painkillers. Worth it? Yes. I nuked my gut with antibiotics. Worth it? Also, yes. I know I’m not out of the woods. All I did was suppress symptoms. My body will try again. If it doesn’t, then I broke that detoxification mechanism. Elimination is the medicine, so I will lock in and clean house. I booked a colonic. I will smarten up with what I eat. Though that isn’t everything. Blah.
I finally woke up without my throat killing me. Yesterday I didn’t need to take Advil. The pain was tolerable. Eating was still painful. That will not be a problem today. I’m finally going to be able to return to the gym.
Yesterday, I dreaded going back to work for no reason. I didn’t do a full shift. Everybody missed me. My team made me so proud, though. Same with my boys at the event I missed out on. Same with my boss. He took care of all the last-minute, but critical stuff, for the Wilfred Buck event I am throwing tonight for all of the youth programs. I don’t have to micro-manage anymore. I invited Wilfred Buck to come give star teachings again this year. We can host it, so we will have a much bigger turnout. Families are invited as well. Let’s get his teachings while we still can. He isn’t getting any younger.
My Coordinator, he started to cry a little bit while talking about how he admires how hard I work for our kids. That program was nothing when I started. I’m blowing it up even bigger. We are taking ourselves to schools after the break to teach kids how to be Skabe. He invented a cute little curriculum that is perfect for a gym class. Oh! Our program is literally shopping for a vehicle. While I was away, he gave finance five options, and all they have to do is select one. I was the one who got the funding for it. We just received our gaming PCs, and my gaming room is finally going to be complete. We are going to throw a big event to celebrate positive male role models in the community. What else? Oh! Applying for more grants so we can get some travel opportunities. I want us to host conferences. Then little things, like surveys for the parents of our youth, so we can measure our performance and get feedback. Self-evaluations for our boys. Blah!
My coordinator is taking next week off to work on himself. He’s changed so much since we met. He recently quit smoking. He has nothing to help him regulate. He’s burned out, so he’s taking time off, and he started to see his doctor about his mental health. He is going to see a psychologist soon, too.
I had my cousin over for dinner yesterday. I poured him some drinks also. The poor guy can’t catch a break. I wrote a few entries about his situation. Vicarious Drama. He’s on Employment Assistance. Locked in a program, that is, month-to-month, which pays his rent. He broke his ankle and was 40 hours short of Employment Insurance. So they arranged for him to go back for 40 hours so he could get it with back pay. His psycho roommate is teaming up with his landlord. They are coming at him for rent. So my cousin has been stressed and pressed. He should have received those payments. After I dropped him off, he called me to tell me that his rep for EA just told him that she gets notifications once he receives the rent payments, and he received both. This landlord is trying to double-dip!
After I dropped him off, I went plant-shopping with my mans. We were on two different wavelengths yesterday. I wasn’t suffering as much, so I had energy. We got a little spicy with each other, but it’s okay. The night before, because of being sick, I was snoring extremely loudly. He kept waking me up. He felt bad about it, and I felt bad about it. I bought disposable earplugs. I ended up sleeping in today, which made him late for work. Oops. But I feel like I could move a mountain today. So that was worth it, haha.
Anyway, it’s also the first week I am Monday to Friday, so it’s TGIF vibes. School is out, so we don’t have to work Tuesday - Saturday over the summer. We work regular hours with everyone else since we can visit with our kids during the day. So basically, we get to have a life!
