TGIF

[megaskunk]

I'm glad this week had the decency to go fast and get back to the weekend quickly, after last weekend was a non-existent time warp. It still feels like not entirely real? Most of last weekend was spent in the hospital with Goose, who was probably having complications from getting the stomach virus that's been going around, but we still don't even actually know what caused the problem. We went to the emergency room Saturday afternoon because they were having upper abdominal pains that were starting to radiate into chest that weren't going away, and obviously you don't want to fuck around with chest pains. And then bloodwork showed that some cardiac enzyme was incredibly high which had all the doctors concerned that there was some kind of cardiac event occurring or had occurred. But all the other tests and scans were coming back normal so it was weird. It was definitely a test of my various anxieties. Charlie stayed at my in-law's house for Sunday and Monday so he wouldn't just be home alone all day, and since he's not getting along with my parents' new dog yet. I stayed at my parents' house Sunday night so I wouldn't be by myself. Saturday night was just me and Charlie at home and I didn't really get much sleep. Sunday night I slept better, but I don't even know if it was because I wasn't by myself or just because I was more exhausted to start with. Luckily Goose ended up being able to come home Monday evening, which was a very pleasant surprise. The rest of the week has been pretty fine, just trying to get back to normalcy/reality. I took off Monday to be with Goose in the hospital and even though I only missed 1 day of work, I felt very overwhelmed when I went back because Zendesk changed the home layout and I couldn't tell how many tickets I had so I felt like I'd fallen very behind, and I had chats with questions from people who didn't realize I was out. But by yesterday I felt pretty caught back up. Overall just feeling pretty exhausted physically and emotionally. But hopefully this weekend can be a nice relaxing, uneventful weekend. There's a needle felting class at the library Sunday that I'm looking forward to. And we can change out the decorations in the apartment, like we were supposed to last weekend. I like decorating.

I have to confess, I semi-lost at my new year's resolution of tackling the fix-it pile every month because I didn't get to it in March. I was going to do it last weekend and then wasn't home for most of it. Though I suppose I could have done it Friday night. It's only 1 shirt in there at the moment anyway though, so it's not like it's building up. I will be sure to get to it this month.

In more positive news, spring is springing and flowers are starting to come up and blossoms are beginning to bloom. I'm excited that daffodils are starting to pop up, since they're my 2nd favorite flower and March's birth month flower thing. Allergies haven't been too bad yet. Hopefully it can stay that way. If it gets bad I might have to go back to the allergist to change up my medicine. Which isn't even that big of a deal, but I'm just tired of having appointments to go to. The past couple of months I've had doctor appointments to go to, and this month Charlie has grooming appointment and vet appointment. So I'm tired of appointments. I'd like at least a month of no appointments. I do still have some other doctors I should go to this year, but I will wait a bit. Sorry even the positive part ended up with complaining lol.

I need to go take Charlie for his walk so I can call it a night and just lay down and possibly fall asleep.

Glad to hear things are returning to normalcy 👌 I wish I had some motivating advice for tackling your fix-it pile, but mine is also neglected...

I'm trying to not let it get too big, but then when there's not much to fix I think my mindset is, why drag out the sewing stuff for so little? But then when it gets big it's like well now there's a lot so I need to wait until I have the time to do it all at once.
