Did you ever.....

Category: Daily Happenings | Posted: Sat Feb 24, 2007 1:58 am

Did you ever just want to go back and start the week over again? My week started on Monday with an "emergency" trip to the doctor. It wasn't my emergency. The doctor's office called and said he had the results of my thyroid tests and I had to come on Monday at 11 am. Now, Monday was a holiday so I had to go in the middle of the day to the doctor so I couldn't do anything before or after. It turns out it wasn't such an emergency anyway because now it's Friday and absolutely nothing has been done. I stopped taking thyroid medication in October and now instead of the hormone level going down, it's still going up so I have to go see a specialist and have some radio active iodine treatments. Probably then I will have to go back on the replacement medication. I have been taking another medication for 25 yrs and found that I can start reducing it with the intent of being off of it in three months. I probably haven't needed it for a good portion of that 25 yrs. Just nobody ever wondered why I was still taking it. This doctor I go to now I have been going to for about three years and Monday was the first time he actually ask me why I was taking it. He just prescribed it because it was in my records from the last doctor. It's not that I change doctors so often. We just moved a few times in the 25 years. So, I was just a little depressed this week. So, today was my day off. What did I do with it? I went up to have lab work done and I had to go at 12:30 for an interview with a consultant on teamwork. The library is doing a study on teamwork in conjunction with moving to a new library which isn't even started yet. It probably won't be done for three years but I had to go in the middle of a day off to have the interview. I have not been feeling all that great as I have a cough and chest congestion and haven't been sleeping all that well. It was COLD and WINDY and SNOWING!! I wanted to stay home in bed.
We had a really busy week and tomorrow will be a catchup day. We were short two people all week and days after holidays are always busy. I really wanted to hide under the bed instead of going to work. So, can I just go back and start my week over?
On a good note, the spinach that I planted in my wheelbarrow has came up and is doing well. I have covered it with plastic until it is big enough that the birds won't use it for breakfast, lunch and dinner and all the snacks in between. I have buds on two of my daffidols. The large pile of leaves is still in the front yard and will be there until The congestion is gone and I'm feeling better. The weather is cooler and windy and going out will probably not be at all beneficial. The peas and swiss chard have not come up and my going to look several times a day isn't encouraging it any at all.
I cleaned out my pantry cupboard and redid all my spice jars. I bought new jars and threw out all that I haven't used in the last few months. Some had no smell left at all.
Well, another week is coming. It will start on Sunday so maybe I can improve on this one. Dooley

No wonder you were the energizer bunny with all that extra thyroid stuff going on.
Hope next week is better for you.

Sorry you have had an off week Dooley. Look on the bright side, next week will be better and you will forget all about this one. I know what you mean about hiding under the bed, I have those days too.
