Yeah, this isn’t another one of those times where I start something, and never finish it. I have to be very careful though. I’ve had a few blogs and… well… I don’t have them anymore. Much like so many things in my life. Crochet… still have a rubbermaid box of yarn, needles, and books… and unfinished blankets… could be a scarf. The baby I made that blanket for is, I think she is 4 now. Yeah.
Watercolor and acrylic paintings. Yeah. There’s more than a few unfinished paintings around here. Somewhere.
ANYWAY. I’ve been sick this week. Being sick makes everything more difficult. Doing anything. And I’ve had to do everything. Work. Because at my job, there isn’t anyone who can work for me, and I don’t have the kind of job where if I don’t go in, my work can wait for the next day. It’s a restaurant. And you would think they wouldn’t want you preparing food while snotting. But, not my boss. He will tell me just to be sure I don’t snot in the food and wash my hands a lot. He has no other choice. My position is hard to fill believe it or not. And I can see why. It’s HARD work. And you don’t get paid very much to do it. Where I lived in California, I’m sure my current position would have been called perfect work for the illegal Mexican immigrant.
(Please VA hospital. Please call me back!
So yeah, I still have to go to work (still need that paycheck). I still have to take care of my son, though I have to say he has been doing GREAT at dealing with the fact that his mom can’t hardly drag her ass out of bed or off the couch because of the massive sinus headache that cripples her the second I make any movement. Poor kid. But I still have to feed him. I can let him skip a bath or two. But he still has needs. And I have to make sure they’re met.
I think it’s a sinus infection. I’ve got very yellow, smelly (at least for the 2 seconds when I can inhale through my nostrils, it smells bad) and sometimes bloody mucous. But my divorce finalized this weekend, so now I don’t have health insurance, so I can’t go to the doctor. So please, Sudafed. Tylenol. Do something for once and help me get better!
And after having made progress last week with cleaning out my apartment, my illness has contributed to the step back I’ve taken. The clothes that are ready for donation are still sitting in canvas grocery bags by the door. Waiting. I’ve gotten rid of the big pink cat ring in my toilet though! But Jack and I are not the tidyest housemates. And things are getting a but out of hand. I need to get better. My summer semester is going to start soon and my time is going to be spent elsewhere again. My apartment will turn into the place I go to sleep and dress and shower. Not spend time. Though I have to say. These past two weeks have been niiiiiice.
I’ve still had to work, but I feel like a normal person with normal time off for living. I’m going to miss it! I don’t mind working, I never have (well, I still hate my job, but it’s temporary). But it is so nice to be able to slow down and live. It just blows that when I finally do have some spare time I get a freaking sinus infection!
In progress:
I’ve been taking my hair and nails supplement.
I’ve been doing push-ups and sit-ups and a variety of crunches daily. And making progress with them.
I made Jack real breakfast this morning (but we ended up being late for school)
