I am feeling much better today. It rained last night so most of the pollen washed away thankfully. Actually scratch that, it stormed last night. I kept having to unplug the computer because between storms I’d hook my computer back up so I could finish some of the coding I was doing only to have to unplug it 30 minutes later. I am definitely stressing the “Kate needs a laptop” point now.

The real thing that cheered me up last night was talking to the boyfriend. Goodness, I missed his voice. I know that sounds completely stupid since we usually talk every day but we haven’t really talked talked in a couple of days. We talked last night about random things and then our usual joking is what made me feel a whole lot better. I love that boy a lot. I am really beginning to think this is what real love is about. With him, I can go a day or two without talking to him and not stress because I honestly trust him completely. He is a good guy that puts my mind to ease at all times. I love that about him and he is so caring and genuine. He is respectful and fits in with my family which is definitely a plus. He’s the type of guy that if he unintentionally offends or hurts your feelings, he apologizes right on the spot and tries to correct the situation. He is just easy to get along with and it’s comfortable being around him. I also can’t complain in the romance or even kissing departments either. *blush* He is definitely a keeper and this time around, everyone is telling me this instead of me just thinking this on my own so that’s a good sign.

So anyways, enough with the mushy stuff, I have a job interview tomorrow and I thought it was at eleven so I scheduled my hair appointment at one thinking I’d have time to get from one place to the next. Well it turns out my interview is at one so I have to get up early, take my mom to the hair appointment and then catch my interview. After the interview, I can go get my hair done as well. Luckily the interview place and hair place are like five minutes apart. I just really need this job for obvious monetary issues but then there is term insurance or whatever you want to call it. My mom has life insurance on me and my brother but I want to take that over and then of course health insurance is a biggie since my thyroid problems make me have to visit the doctor and get my blood taken frequently since I can never get it regulated. My thyroid is of the devil I swear. My doctor was telling me that I have a bad case of hypothyroidism because in most cases, she can regulate her patients’ levels but with mine they bounce around and cause major side effects. The side effects aren’t glamorous either. I am moody as hell and then there’s the problem with me constantly being tired and then the whole hair shedding issue. I mean, my hair sheds like crazy and it’s annoying. My poor boyfriend has to deal with my moodiness but I’m usually in a good mood around him luckily. I just wish my thyroid would fix itself because I am so tired of this. I’ve struggled with this since I was 12 and I’m just exhausted of it.

Well, I am going to go watch television with the mom. I’m having a shitty thyroid day and my whole body hurts despite the fact I’ve taken my medicine how I’m supposed to and have even gotten up and moved around just to try to get my blood circulating since I woke up feeling crabby but it isn’t working. I feel like crap but I am oddly not in a bad mood. So until next time, later lovelies!

NOTE: I started this blog Friday night but saved it since I was so tired. So here I am on Saturday finishing it up.

Wow, I am completely and utterly exhausted. Last night I didn’t sleep much because I was really sick to my stomach thanks to all my sinus gunk draining down into my tummy. Plus, I was completely hooked on “New Moon” which is the sequel to “Twilight,” so in between puking my guts up I was in Edward heaven. Haha. I must say though, the sequel made me cry in some parts because Meyer has a way of completely getting you hooked and playing with your emotions through her words. She’s just awesome. So since I was sick, I didn’t sleep until like 4 AM. Any other day that would be fine because I would’ve been able to sleep late but not today!

This morning I had a doctor’s appointment at 11:15 AM and thankfully my mom woke me up at 10:30 AM so we had 15 minutes to get ready and leave before we’d be running late. We were right on time but the doctor’s office was running late and we didn’t get seen til almost noon. We didn’t even get out of the doctor’s office to leave until 1:30! The doctor basically refilled all my medicine but I had to get a flu shot and my blood drawn to check my thyroid levels. I have hypothyroidism and take medicine for it so I have to get my blood checked to make sure my medicine is correct. I had to get a flu shot as well. Yikes, that sucker has my arm so sore it’s not even funny. Lifting it hurts like a mofo and there is a knot where the medicine was injected. This happens every time I get the shot though. The lady that drew my blood was telling me about how she had the gastric bypass and now she doesn’t have so much trouble with her thyroid. Evidently she was 200 lbs. heavier almost two years ago and now she’s a whole new person.

After the doctor’s office, we had to book it to Atlanta to pick up my mom’s prescriptions and then drive back here in time for Beth to be at work on time at 4 PM. Wow, I hauled tail down to Atlanta! We have to pick the prescriptions up because one is for a morphine patch which you have to pick up in person. My mom used to go to a local pain management doctor but he was an ass which is why she started seeing the other doctor in Atlanta since she is so nice and very concerned when it comes to her patients. I hate the drive but our stop is right near Town Center so it’s nice to be able to stop and shop after her visits but we didn’t have time for that!

Luckily we had Beth meet us with the kids at Wal-Mart since we had to get all our prescriptions filled. It was going to take an hour and I was already dead tired once we got there so walking around Wal-Mart was not really that fun. We got what we needed for dinner, ordered my step-dad’s birthday cake, Selena’s cupcakes for her class, and looked at Christmas decorations. Finally, I sat down with the kids in the pharmacy area because I was tired and they wanted to sit with me instead of walking around so my mom could look at toys and stuff to price them! I seriously thought I was going to pass out from exhaustion since I barely got any sleep the night before and being in a car for three hours does not help at all!

Thankfully we got our prescriptions, headed home, cooked dinner, and watched TV before bed. The good thing is busy days mean I fall asleep easily and sleep soundly. It’s Saturday now so I feel a whole lot better but I have some cleaning to do and then headed to Wal-Mart to pick my step-dad’s cake up! Amanda (best friend) called and wanted to go out tonight but I have to pick Beth up from work since my mom’s car is acting wonky so scratch that. Honestly, I don’t feel like going out tonight. I wanna get my medicine started so I can hurry and get better. The doctor put me on Yazzmin or whatever for my period so hopefully it’ll be a whole lot better! I will be so happy to just not bleed for a whole three weeks! I know that sounds funny but oh well. Later gators!
