I’m sick…

and pissed.  I am working so hard to make my self healthy!  Why do I keep getting sick?!

I knew something was wrong when I was at the gym Tuesday morning.  I finished my bike and treadmill programs, but only did halfsies on my strength training.  I was too tired.  I got to bed much later than usual Tuesday night so that when I woke up quite tired and feeling a bit like I had a hangover on Wednesday morning, I just thought I didn’t get enough sleep.

At lunch I felt much better, but prolly really didn’t.  I was just so excited to be having lunch with my two dearest friends that I just didn’t notice so much.

About an hour after lunch I was feeling like total crap and wanted to go home, but managed to stay until a co-worker was leaving and I could bum a ride.  (Thanks, B!)

I was in bed and asleep by 8:00 pm, but I kept waking up all night from odd dreams and feeling like crap.  I didn’t go to work yesterday; and haven’t gone in today because just now I am sitting at the KY Clinic Charbucks and waiting for my 11am appointment.  I had to come in early to pee in a cup first.

I feel like I am totally abusing my health insurance being sick seemingly all the time!

I did come home on Wednesday to a long awaited package.  I’ve been working with the artist from InMyHeadStudios to make me one her custom pendants and its package was there to greet me when I got home.  I opened the standard looking padded manila envelope to discover this:

I mean really

…and then my battery died.  I went on up to family practice to wait for my appointment.  I have a viral upper respiratory infection.  And my doctor disagrees that I’m getting sick so often.  I feel like I’m sick with something every other month.  She tells me I’m really very healthy.  My average blood sugars are now in the upper normal range, but I want them back to the low normals.  And I know they’ll get there.  And I’VE LOST THREE MORE POUNDS!  That 8 lbs in less than 2 months.

So hubby swings by my office before he takes me back home because I need to pick something up.  And then I get in there and can’t remember why I’m there.  I’m home and he’s on his way back to work already and then I remember!  I needed to get my pills.  Crap!

So, really, who expects such a lovely little gift of package when it’s something they knew was coming?

Of course I just tore through that wrapping like it was my birthday or something!

I wish you could see the detail in the pendant front*.  It’s actually a collage of things I chose. She had to do a "digital collage" for my back because of the detail she had to cut out regarding the bicycle, but I am so okay with it.  It’s perfect!

Poifect!  I love it.  And now I’m going to take a nap!

*Turns out Vickie, the artist of InMyHeadStudios, made a great picture of the pendant that show the detail of her work.  See it here at her blog!
