We're Missing Something

I am just so lazy lately about updating, lol. I sometimes just get where I have a whole lot to say I just don't feel like typing it up.

So far the Kava tea is working wonders. I'm way less stressed. It's working better than the Xanax is. The progesterone cream is awesome too! I've worked out a good dose and it's about 11 days until my period is due to start. Usually around this time I would be PMS central. It's gotten so bad that way; every two weeks out of the month PMS and then a week of the lovely period! It felt like only one good week a month! But I'm doing good and not being PMS crazy and it's just AWESOME. I'm so excited.

So thank you to cessball for talking about progesterone cream and pukekoflat for talking about Kava! You guys have helped me without even knowing it.

The 25th I go in for my consult on my belly. It's been hurting a lot lately. It's just so weird. It just burns and burns around the middle below and above my belly button. Then I get all bloated and look five million months pregnant. It woke me up in the middle of the night last night for two hours. :/

I'm looking forward to figuring out what the heck it is, but not to the way it has to be done. I have a bad feeling it'll be a scope up the bottom end. Which means drinking a bunch of lovely stuff and pooping my brains out. There are definite disadvantages to being a nurse and already knowing what your fate is.



Saw the new GI Joe movie. I thought it was great fun! Also saw that Perfect Getaway movie. It had good twists and kept you guessing right up to the end! It was fun too.

I'm on day 1 of two at work. The last couple of work days I had on were horrid. It was just one crazy thing after another. I didn't want to come back, lol. One of my patients actually ended up making my back hurt for two days. It was finally being off and being able to get off this hard floor at work and rest whenever I wanted at home that made it stop hurting. It really sucked while at work though. NOTHING made it better.

Hm. Exercising I've decided to add arm and leg weights as I do the aerobics so I'll burn more fat and build muscle faster. I tried leg weights yesterday when I did it and it wasn't bad at all. I'm waiting for my arm ones to come in the mail. I'm kinda excited about that too because sometimes all I really have time for (or patience) is the aerobic portion.

Randomly I've noticed since I started using the progesterone cream and drinking the kava tea that my appetite had decreased. Not sure if it's those two to thank for it, but I'll take it!

I'm excited too because I've got an eye appointment coming up and I'm hoping I'll get to get knew glasses, lol! I want new ones. I'm tired of these ones. I'm actually wondering if I should try contacts. I get so sick of these glasses sometimes. I think we're allowed one pair of contacts on the plan I have too. I'll have to ask when I go in for my appointment.

No matter what happens at work though, I love my job. I love the people I work with. It makes me not want to leave night shift for a different shift. I just jive so well with the crew we have and we all work so well together. I swear we are a different breed on night shift. Just a little bit stranger and looser with our tongues, lol.

Honestly, if a day shift position did come up, I don't know if I'd take it. It really doesn't seem to matter too much family wise. And I know it messes with my health, but I'm just working on finding stuff to fix that. I just like the pace and the people too much to leave it.

I'm getting tired but we have a meeting after work. Ah well, I'll probably hit my second wind by that time. I can't believe it's 6AM already! Time flew by. And now it's time to go do the morning meds and get things prepped for next shift.
