Life update (schedule news)
Mar. 23rd, 2012 04:51 pmSo after all the hassle and waiting to take myself off Saturdays it looks like I'll be back on them, at least intermittently, for most of the summer. This is partly voluntary and a good sign, in that I wouldn't be taking that on if I weren't feeling a lot better already with hopes of more improvement in the near future. The household could definitely use the overtime, my awesomesauce boss could use the help, I could use the opportunity to make up FMLA time that I might still need to take; it's a win-win-win for everything but my personal life and clinic escorting. I'm hoping that if we can address the fatigue better even those might not suffer too badly. Chad and I are already making plans for how to work around the new schedule so that we can continue to take Kidlet on fun outings, and since I'm not committed to every single weekend I can still get free for major stuff, like the Peep Reunion in May. Mostly, it's going to mean less actual time with both Chad and Erin. This is not awesome, but I have hopes for our ability to work around it (tomorrow instead of just waiting around on me Chad's going to the Burlesque show with Erin and Missy that I had to bail on).
Today I'm still struggling with the fatigue, but I'm consistently amazed at how little the previously regular joint and migraine issues have been popping up. A few random minor day-to-day headaches, and a few twinges in my knees and hands, but nothing compared to previously, and certainly not disabling on the level that it was. I may very well talk about this a lot until the shock wears off; it's big news in my life. I've been continuing to log my psych and physical condition multiple times a day, and it's been very exciting recently not to have to go down a whole list of symptoms checking things off for once. "Nothing to report" is exciting indeed!
In other news, this bizarre-ass heat wave is really moving up the need to buy a new window A/C for my bedroom. The upstairs of our house has no airflow at all, and heats up ridiculously. It's nice in the winter, but without A/C up there I can barely climb the stairs in the summer (unlike my heat-loving housemates). So. That needs to happen ASAP.
