So. Tired.

Med grumping, again, now that I've made my politics post.

The flare continues; I'll have a couple good days, or part of a good day, and then it's back. Yesterday I was as fine and dandy as I've been in a while, up 'til about 4:30pm, and then it all went downhill so fast that last night was the worst I've been in a while (arms/hands/shoulders/back, mostly -- even the most minor movements were causing this bizarre burning/shooting/aching whateverthehell, and for large chunks of the evening the best I could find were "less painful" positions, even lying flat on my back and not moving).

I'm exhausted today, and I don't think it's lack of sleep; I actually wasn't up all that late, and I napped off and on throughout the earlier evening. I think it's fibro-fatigue. Sucktastic. Grafton's in town for a couple days, and I'll probably practically sleep through his visit. Argh.

I've taken the month off patient-instructing and escorting, and although I think it's definitely the right decision, it's depressing me, and it feels like my life is shrinking in upsetting ways. Also, I'd kinda like to be on good enough terms with my body to get my libido back again.

Also, in the midst of the worst week of the year at work. It'll keep getting worse 'til Friday, when we get all the uber-panicked calls. So even aside from total lack of PTO time, I can't call off without screwing my coworkers, and my days are exhausting. I took between 165 and 180 calls each of the last two days. I'm moving slow today, though, not likely to get near those numbers.

::hugs:: my brain is wrecking similar havoc with my body. i hope you feel better soon.

Thanks, and likewise. My best friend Jen has at times complained about having gotten the beta version of her body; I've taken to using the phrase myself to explain all these damned glitches we end up with.

Why is this such a bad week for phone calls? I'm sorry if I missed a prior explanation but I don't know as much as I should about your work.

Annual Benefits online enrollment for 26,000 employees. All within a two-week period. None of whom seem able to read the "FORGOT YOUR PASSWORD?" self-reset link. It's gotten better as folks have gotten marginally more used to the system; this year is leaps and bounds better than two years ago, but it's still crazy. The enrollment period ends on Friday.

Well, I should have remembered. Besides, how hard would it have been to try, you know, looking at your entries from previous years? D'oh!

I'm sorry you're not feeling well and I hope you recover soon.

Thanks!

[ajollypyruvate]

Ah, of course.

Yuck! I wish you a swift recovery! I'll call you if we've got any clinic openings Saturday. Say hi to Grafton and the rest of the merry wrecking crew for me?

Thanks; I'm hoping this week I'll be in better shape to take you up on an invite; The last few weeks one event (grocery shopping, voting, etc) was about all I could handle energy-wise.

Say hi to Grafton and the rest of the merry wrecking crew for me?

Will do!
