Friday already? That didn't take long, did it?
I was supposed to see my doctor last Friday but I woke up feeling terrible. I thought I was just hungry so I had a huge bowl of Cheerios but I still felt hungry, so I ate two pudding cups. (I know..not the best choice!) Then I was sick and realized I had what the children had all week. Of course they got it and were fine the next day... I was sick for three days.
Ian was wonderful to me as always. He held down the fort so I could rest, even though he felt sick as well. I watched movies and slept and slept and slept.
All that to say, I went to see my doctor on Monday evening and talked to him about the specialist's findings and I was able to share how I had been feeling for the past year. I said that I felt he poo-poo'ed me, dismissed me and brushed me off, and that I felt like I was an annoyance to him and wasting his time. He apologized and said that was never his intention, and that he was glad that I spoke up. I felt so much better afterwards.
I did a five hour temp assignment on Wednesday as a receptionist for a paving company. It wasn't bad at all, and a great way to get my feet wet. I got a call from a different agency this afternoon about a "hard core collections" job working in an "extremely volatile" environment for 2-3 months. I'm not thrilled about it, but agreed to let them present my resume anyway. If the company likes what they see then I will start on Tuesday. Apparently the last temp refuses to go back because the manager yelled at her. Oh boy.
So that pretty much catches you up on my week.
Time for Mama M's Five Question Friday!
1. What Christmas song do you loathe?
Feliz Navidad. I cannot even begin to describe the level of loathing I have for this song. Not only is it horrible, it reminds me of a woman I used to work with, and she would perform it at the Children's Christmas Party every year and she should not have been singing. If you catch my drift.
Whenever I hear this song I can't help but sing along, and the whole time I'm singing, I'm feeling so cross and bothered. And then it just sticks in my head for hours and hours and hours.
I just stopped to break up an argument between the girls and found myself humming this wretched song.
Thanks Mama M.
2. Do you and your significant other cuddle at night or sleep on opposite sides of the bed?
We sleep on opposite sides of the bed usually. I tend to go to bed earlier than Ian does, and I have this whole OCD ritual of how I get to sleep. It starts with my two pillows stacked one on top of each other, perfectly evenly, ruffled part of the pillowcases facing out. Then I lay flat on my back until I feel myself start to drift off, then I quickly flip to my side. Usually it's the side facing away from Ian. He will hug me and cuddle me for a few minutes before he goes to sleep but I usually miss it because I'm sleeping. If I wake up during this, I have to start all over again.
Sometimes we cuddle but not nearly often enough.
3. Have you ever had surgery?
Yes. I've had a D&C, my gallbladder removed, a cystoscopy to remove a cancerous cyst, and my wisdom teeth removed.
4. When do you typically have your holiday shopping done?
I'm usually done a day or two before Christmas. I'm not one of those people who get it all done before the holiday even starts. I like to have a few things left to buy so I can wander through the malls at Christmas time. I get a perverse sense of joy at watching people frantically shopping, knowing I'm almost done.
Also, if we shop too far in advance then it's easy to pick up "one more thing" because you didn't see such a thing months ago.
5. If money were not an issue (and you HAD to pick something), what would your ultimate luxury item be?
I'm one of those people that can honestly say I have everything I need. But if I HAD to pick something, then I'd say a second car. The extra freedom during the day would be nice.
That's it! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Head on over to Mama M's blog My Little Life to join in on the fun.

"I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas! I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas! I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas from the bottom, of my heeeeaaaarrttt!!"
ReplyDeleteWow...that job you've got (potentially) coming up? Sounds frightening. Can I have your number...so I can prank call you? ;)
Ummm... I know you need a job and all, but I don't think you are the collection agency sort. Hard core collections in my mind is like, the people who yell at you when they want things done their way. No, I don't think that's you.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I don't like that song much either. And all I need is under my roof too.
Eek, good luck on the potential job. But really how could anyone yell at you!?
ReplyDeleteI had my gallbladder out too. Why did God give us things we don't need??
Hope you have a great weekend!
I'm so glad you spoke to Dr. L...he really IS a good guy....are you sticking with him now? Hands off...he's STILL mine.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better...seems EVERYONE is sick these days.
I love you.
So proud of you for speaking up to your doctor. Hopefully from here on out he will do a better job.
ReplyDeleteFeliz Navidad is not my favorite either.. HOWEVER anytime I hear it I am singing it for at least two days. It def. is one catchy terrible song.
Need to catch up with you soon.. I know you have alot to fill me in on. I feel terrible I did not know you were sick :( I have been so out of touch lately.. glad you are feeling better and hope to talk to you soon ((HUGS))
I'm glad you were able to talk to your Dr. about how you felt and that he listened.
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope that whatever temp job you get is a pleasant experience.
I don't like that Feliz Navidad song either. :)
I would also like to wish marry Christmas and have a wonderful year before it comes and you be prepared for it's outstanding fun.

So...any news from the intense job? Good luck...you're stronger than me! I would have said heck no! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you and Ian go to bed at different times too! I have this image that 'perfect/happy' couples go to bed and the same time [you know...like the movies?] and it makes me sad that Adam goes to be after me, but now I feel a bit more normal! :) So thank you for that!
