Trouble Sleeping

-
I haven't been sleeping well primarily because I can't breathe. Today I had a follow up doctor's appointment to check on the TB shot I had. I had the worst sinus headache! I asked what I should about it and the doctor suggested a Nettie Pot and Claritin. I went to the drug store after I left and looked at the Nettie Pot. Decided to price it at another drugstore a block away. Then went to the bank and looked for a place where I could have some hot soup for lunch since I hadn't eaten all day. I decided on a Mexican place for tortilla soup. I couldn't taste it so I'm not sure if I should judge it, but it did manage to get the job done. My sinuses started to drain and the headache pretty disappeared. So much pressure! The coughing is subsiding, but I also bought some nasty cough medicine to help. Decided to take the rest of the week off since I have been working sick for the past 3 weeks. I'm sure it will be frowned upon, but hell, I have to take care of my health. Trying to please them I would have wound up in the hospital!  Been taking my blood pressure and it has been on the higher side. That sucks! I figure by Monday I should be rid of this. It is exhausting to be sick. Next month I will need to follow up with blood work and blood pressure. I'm gonna need for everything to be normal because being sick is a lot of work.

Goal Setting

-
Had my goal setting meeting with bosses. We are keeping the same goals as last year. I will still casually browse around for a job, but I feel relatively confident that I am safe - for now. Now, my goals for the summer include but aren't limited to: Get my apartment deep cleaned and redecorated Clear out storage unit Travel (even if locally) Take lots of photos: Do a neighborhood project where I shoot different blocks and neighborhoods each day.  Go to Brooklyn - a lot! Go to lots of free concerts Score lots of rush tickets to see Broadway shows Hit the gym, swim, walk, and bike Write, write, write! Get to one of those Korean spas I keep hearing about Stay on top of my pedicures and massages Watch plenty of sunrises and sunsets Get back to living a clean life Rediscover joy Go to the beach - a lot! Laugh - a lot! Get my finances in order Catch up on the magazines that have piled up Catch up on the books that have piled up Takes lots of relaxing baths Have f...

My baby has crossed the rainbow bridge

-
I know a few of your have been lurking here for years. So you know that I had a sweet little fur baby who I loved very much and who has moved with me from city to city since I've had her. It is with much sadness that I must report that my sweet girl was put to sleep to on Monday. She was getting up in age and had several medical conditions that warranted putting her to sleep. Her quality of life had deteriorated and I was no longer able to care for her the way she needed to be cared for. Her vet wanted her put down a while ago but because I have my issues with grief and abandonment I wasn't ready. I think getting therapy for the short time that I did was helpful with getting me over the hump to move forward. I know it was the right thing to do and she went so peacefully that it helped me know that I made choice.  I miss my girl. I look for her because we have never been apart for long periods of time. There are people who don't understand the connection that humans have to ...

Took a break

-
I have been so busy trying to keep all of the balls in the air. Then I got sick. I haven't been this sick in a while. My allergies turned into an upper respiratory infection and I am still coughing as I try to clear out my bronchial passages. I've also started juicing to help support the recovery and have lost 15 lbs. I haven't had much of an appetite, so I drink fresh juice from the juice bar to keep my energy up. I could definitely keep this up for a while then transition back into a pescaterian diet. Sick and tired of being sick and tired.
