Had to break out the “smiley pills” icon– I just had a great day today and felt the need to blog about it! I woke up a little late and was wondering if it would be a bad day, and ran into a bit of traffic on the way to work, but that’s nothing new…got to work on time. It wasn’t terribly busy at work so I could catch-up on some of my other projects. That always feels good. I didn’t get a lot of phone calls, well, I always get a lot of phone calls, but no one was really upset or angry, and that’s a good thing. I heard some interesting stories. One nurse (I am a pharmacist at a closed-door pharmacy which services jails and prisons) told me she just returned from a fellow nurse’s wedding-in JAMAICA! The wedding was last Saturday and the wedding itself was beautiful, went off without a hitch, great weather. Hurricane Dean hit the next day. YIKES! They rode it out playing gin rummy all night long on the 3rd floor of the hotel, behind steel shutters. Whoo-hoo! Party! At least she made it out OK and back to scenic New Jersey!
I worked out at Curves at lunch, as I do 3 times a week; Monday will be my 100th workout! YAY! for me! Anyway, I had a great workout and then came back and ate lunch. Sometimes after lunch we get slammed but not today, it was steady but not too busy. More phone calls, but again, nothing too bad. Then I received my yearly evaluation and my supervisor, our assistant director, Lori, said some very nice things about me. That felt GREAT! Then we finished up the afternoon’s work and it was time to go home. No big traffic tie-ups and I got home in 25 minutes. I had a nice dinner, cleaned up the house a bit, then when my chores were done I thought I would blog.
So nothing too exciting, just a great day!
OMG! You all have to go see Superbad!! it is soooo funny! There are some gross-out moments, but they are so well done that you find yourself laughing anyway! Michael Cera is such a cutie! I want to have 10,000,000 of his babies! Hee hee! Seriously, though, his one-liners at the end of certain scenes are so side-splitting I about spit out my popcorn! Just go see it! Don’t let people endlessly quoting the movie ruin it for you-because there are so many quotable lines in this movie! I won’t quote any here, just to be nice!
So I was soooo dizzy at work last Thursday…it came on all of a sudden. I thought it would pass later that evening, if I ate well and/or rested or relaxed. No such luck. I crawled into bed and leaned over to my right side to sleep, as always, and the room began to spin, violently, like a cartoon…I was scared to death, not to mention nauseous. I tried to lean over to my left side, and the same result ensued. YIKES! I had to sleep on my back, which is uncomfortable for me. I kept waking up, feeling as if I were going to fall. I didn’t get much sleep, needless to say. The next morning I called my neurologist’s office to see if I could be seen. I had to leave a message; when I didn’t hear back by 10 am, I decided to go to the ER. They drew labs and did a head CT; results were normal. I asked the Doctor to check my ears for spiders-no spiders. No ear infections-I guess I am just dizzy. My mother has similar issues; don’t all women eventually turn into their mothers? I don’t know. I was exhausted after all this nonsense and I didn’t go into work. I slept most of Friday and Saturday. I was still dizzy, but at least by Saturday night I could lean over to the side to sleep. Sunday I felt a little better and went to see Superbad. I went to bed early Sunday night and dragged my dizzy butt to work Monday morning. I even worked out at Curves! I felt a little better Monday night and a LOT better Tuesday. My mother says that she gets these 2-3 day spells from time to time, then they go away. I hope I don’t get any more! BAH! I think the dizzies were all gone today-it was my good day, after all!
Well, just about time to go upstairs and get ready for bed. Good night, everyone!
