Thursday: hearing test

Today I took a hearing test in preparation for my new job. (Some workers are around loud noises a lot, so they want to get a baseline. I doubt I will be around loud noises that much, but they probably do it for everyone.) Anyway, I was put in a sound reducing booth and tones were put through headphones and I had to click when I heard a tone.

My biggest complaint? Most of the tones were quieter than swallowing, so I was trying not to swallow. So now I'm not sure if swallowing is really loud and we just don't notice it all the time or if my hearing is really good.

Wednesday: last day and +

Today was my last day of work at the temp job. I walked out the door at 3:50...about 10 minutes earlier than normal. I've been saying that today was going to be my last day for about three weeks now, and I guess I did a really good job of timing it correctly. I wouldn't have minded getting out around noon, but...this way maximizes the pay.

I also got an invite to Google+ yesterday and so decided to join today. It's like Facebook, but if I can get more friends on it I think it'll be cooler. So far I know four people. It isn't quite enough to keep me enraptured, even if one of those people is from Google and therefore probably spending all day writing posts and trying to keep people engaged. I'll admit, I'm a fan of almost all things made by Google and so it would be an easy switch.

wednesday: what I was going to say

I remember what I was going to say on Monday...that the last few weeks have given me a deeper appreciation of what is like to live with chronic pain. I know that I was (am) going through is just acute pain, but it sure was annoying but at least there was an end in sight. But to hurt like that and not have it be for a good reason or have an end...it would be dreadful.

I thought about writing about some of my dark thoughts, but then decided to leave them buried. Everyone has their own dark thoughts...I don't need to add mine to your pile.

Tuesday: doctors appt

I had my 13 week doctors appointment today. I like my OB...she's nice and rather down to Earth.

anyway, I lost some weight again so she nicely told me that I need to eat more. oh, that was another reason I went to the store...to get some Cheerios. The baby's heartbeat was 161 and there so a bunch of static on the doppler which apparently means that it was moving around a lot.

Tuesday:tired and handwriting

I was so tired tonight. I got some groceries because I wanted blueberry pancakes for dinner, but crashed after getting home. probably because yesterday was so productive.

In other news, I had two people tell me yesterday that I have really small hand writing. It's true...I do. But it makes so much sense! first of all, I don't need to move my arm/wrist/fingers as much. secondly, I (expect) that I don't run out of room as often.

Monday: what was I going to say?

Hmm...I had a plan on what I was going to write tonight, but I've completely forgotten what it was.

So let's see...I want to thank Cheryl for getting groceries for us last week. The last few weeks were really rough and coming home to groceries, a clean kitchen, and flowers was awesome.

Today I got really dizzy. So much that I was even dizzy while sitting down so I went to the bathroom so I could put I head in between my knees. Oof. After 10 minutes I got up and was doing ok though.

I was going to take some of my medicine this morning only to find out that I had grabbed an empty packet. I ended up ok, but it was a little scary. Maybe good for me, but I would rather have had my medicine.

When I got home tonight I actually had some energy. It was crazy. I made my muffins (the batter was already made), two emails were sent out, I cleaned some of the kitchen, and started another load of wash. I know that doesn't necessary sound difficult, but I'm pretty sure it's more than I've done the last several weekends.

Monday: stairs

I don't like going up and down stairs with people. It turns out that I'm really slow, especially at climbing stairs. My feet just don't seem to go as fast as other peoples'.

Today I was going up some stairs with someone and he was seriously all the way up when I was on the middle landing. It's kind of depressing. But there's nothing that I can do about it.
