That’s what today feels like. Last week was insane. Sunday, found out that my aunt had lost her battle with lung cancer. Monday, found out I’d lost my job. Wednesday, found my house filled with family (insane, but wonderful). Thursday, funeral. Friday, handed in my badge and door key and carried out the last bags of six years. Saturday was airport trips. Sunday, was finally a day to relax before my mother caught her flight home. Today…I slept until I woke up. I took a long bath and finished reading the Newsweek article on the campaigns. Now, I’m searching for a copy of a resume I wrote four years ago. I suppose if I can’t find it, I’ll head to the coffee place and work on a new one. If I stay here, I’d be distracted by laundry and dishes, vacuuming, etc. What? I never was very good at playing hooky.
Tuesday was my last birth control pill and I’ve been struggling against the weight of the Lupron headache ever since. Saturday was, I suppose, cycle day 1. After almost two months of not much of that sort of activity, this is a bit overwhelming. I’d like to just curl up around a hot water bottle and not move all day. I’m trying to train the cats to knead my lower back. I go in Friday afternoon for my first E2 check and another sonogram. Hopefully I’ll get the ok to drop the Lupron dose and start taking the estrogen.
Mel has reminded me that yesterday was my blogoversary! I’ve been doing this since 2005. Goodness. I’ve come such a long way. I’m not where I thought I’d be and there are definitely parts of this journey that I could have done without. But at least in all that time, I haven’t been alone. Thanks to all of you who have followed along with the minutiae of my life along with the maxima.
While not able to train them to kneed a spot on demand, I’ve learnt to shift a bit and can often get my kitty kneed in just the right place. Work on it. The payoff is worth it.
Congrats on cycle day ! Its been a bit of a mad week for you but hopefully this is the storm before the calm.
I’m so sorry about your job and your aunt. Good luck with your cycle this month!
Happy Blogoversary a tad belated! Your week does sound like a roller coaster ride. I am sorry about your losses.
I do hope you are able to relax a little on your hooky day, even if that is only after you work on your resume some!
Happy blogoversary! It never rains but it pours. I hope you get to curl up with that hot water bottle soon.
Holy yikes, what a week. I’m so very sorry about your aunt.
And happy blogoversary!
What a week. I’m really sorry to hear about your aunt. The job thing adds insult to injury, add on top of that the hormones from current cycle and that would be more than enough to make me want to hibernate, too. I hope you find some peace this week, someway, somehow.
Congrats on blogging for THREE years! That is amazing. You can add dedication and creativity to your resume. 🙂
