Nothing, I guess.
I haven't written an entry here in a while. Not because I've been doing nothing, but more because I've been doing so much stuff that I don't really have time to write much without getting all stressed out about how much time is being allocated to husband and rodents and work and everything else.
So I'll try to cover the main points of the last week or so.
I've been working. My supervisor, who we will call #2, was out all week, so the main boss, #1, was hanging around a lot more than usual. Particularly around my desk. She apparently ran out of things to do and started auditing my work. The thing is, she would find some correction I needed to make, and usually I had it right in the first place and ended up explaining why I did it the right way in the first place.
I have 2 doctor's appointments coming up this week. The first appointment I made was with an eye doctor. I can only see clearly if my glasses are pushed up to the "proper" position on my nose, and then I can only see things that are directly in front of me. I can't see at all in bright sunlight because my eyes start to burn and water because I can't wear sunglasses. So this appointment is to try to get myself back into some contact lenses. I'm not staring at a computer screen 8 hours a day anymore, and I am tired of having no peripheral vision.
My other doctor's appointment is on the subject of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. I was diagnosed with the condition a lot of years ago. I haven't been on medication because the only meds available before made me sick. But now there are new drugs, and I want them. I don't fancy getting hypertension and diabetes within the next 10 years because of this stupid disease, and I want it drugged into submission with some Metformin.
I'm having more money issues. I have no money left in my US bank account, but my US credit card wants money. They don't want it bad enough to give me the option of direct debit from a UK account, but they do want it bad enough to harrass my parents. So I've been working on juggling paypal accounts to be able to transfer the money to my US account so I can pay my stupid credit card bill.
On a happier note, I have the day off on Tuesday. I'm celebrating July 4th because I'm an American. I told #2 that it is traditional to set off fireworks and barbeque things, which I could either do at home or in the office. For some reason she gave me the day off. The husband and I went out yesterday and got ourselves a little barbeque grill. It's pink, which seems to bother my husband, but it was the only color it came in. I hope you all have a good 4th of July.
Also, if you aren't playing Kingdom of Loathing yet, why aren't you? It's oodles of fun. I just donated $10 to the site to get myself an Astral Badger. It poops magic mushrooms. If you join because of me, consider joining our clan "The Good Ship Serenity".
