And How Was the DISCO? in These Foolish Things

Haven’t written since Friday, obviously. Haven’t really felt like writing. It wasn’t because I was feeling terrible, per se. I think I feel like writing more when I’m sitting at a desk and have a screen in front of me and I’m all ready to go.

It’s Monday and I’m back at the office.

Friday was actually a really good day. The disconnect felt good…and freeing. No longer being connected to Foxy felt juuuuuussst fine. It truly was a mental and physical release. I haven’t yet received my fancy bag for Foxy, but I’m hoping that will give me a little more oomph for having to have a ball of “juice” attached to me.

Went to bed early on Friday night and was afraid that I was already starting to feel nauseous, so I decided to take some meds. SO glad [Athena] reminded me to tell the NP that I react strongly to pain meds because she’d told me to start with 1/2 a tab.

Well, to test the waters I started with 1/4 and you know what? It knocked me OUT. I was asleep for the rest of the night.

Woke feeling rested and actually good-ish, though I knew I needed to put something in my stomach pretty quickly. I’m finding if I have a little food in there at all times it’s pretty good so far. But again, this is the start. I have a ways to go. Learning as I go.

Only had one thing planned on Saturday and that was to take the dog to her annual physical at the vet. Got through that. Got through a couple of dog walks in the fresh air. And even had enough energy and good feelings to hang with the neighbors on the roof on Saturday evening and have a snack and talk. Oh, it was wonderful. Another learning: fresh air is life. So are friends.

Mom and Dad came on Sunday and we went to lunch. I felt tired but decent when I was with them and we had a super pleasant lunch and then I walked in my favorite park with the dog for a long time.

In bed early again (pretty sure that’s gonna be my thing for a while), and up bright and early. Felt slightly nauseous this morning, but I was able to do a modified workout and make it to work.

Found out at work today that some things are changing and Boss will no longer be my Boss. I will be working under a peer who got promoted. I’m okay with this right now. I just need to keep my JOB until this ordeal is over and then I can resume my plans for world domination.

This thing is a speedbump. It is going to slow me down for a bit, but it will not stop me. I have things to do and people to see and so, so much.

Better get a move-on. Workday is over!
xox,
