Progress

I am happy to report I do feel a bit more like my normal self.  I still have issues with fatigue and tiring out.  I am still mostly lazy just staying in my room and only leaving for food for the cat, myself or to use the bathroom.  This morning I went to stretch and felt something around my right shoulder pop, it was loud and then the pain set in for a few minutes.  It’s a little sore now but I suspect that I pulled something and it’s only going to hurt worse with time.  Ah, the joy of getting old.   

Today I ventured out to the grocery store.  It was all okay until I got home and then I just collapsed.  I didn’t spend nearly as much as I did the last time I was there but it still was a hefty amount. 

Gator continues to enjoy my company and the attention and food that I pass out for her.  She isn’t allowing me to sleep very much at night, which is something I need to change with her.  For now it’s okay but once I am closer to going back to work we will need to get her adjusted or I am going to be mighty tired. 

I found the food that she loves so much at Chewy dot com but I have put off creating an account and placing an order.  I created my account today and went to place an order, of course they are out of stock now.  Just my luck.  I’ve got an email alert that is supposed to fire when it comes back in stock.  That’s when I will place my first order.  I really don’t want a whole case but I don’t see another way to make the purchase and if it keeps my little fur ball happy that makes me happy. 

I got paid like normal so that worked out well, however it doesn’t look like I accrue any time off while I am out on medial leave.  That’s fine I still have a week and 1 floating holiday that I have accrued to fall back on.  Communication with my co-worker has stopped and no one is really reaching out to me, which is all normal and fine.  My boss did try to reach me over the weekend but my phone was turned off and he didn’t bother to leave a message. 

I found out last night that the horrendous hospital bill I managed to rack up was paid along with the doctors fees.  I expected that is the way it would work out but I will admit I was holding my breath a bit.  I have to pay my new co-pay amount to my doctor’s office for our last virtual video visit but that’s fine.

I gave a go at filing my taxes and the numbers look really great right now.  I do think there is something wrong and there is a form I need that hasn’t been published yet.  Once that is made available I will go back over my taxes a second time and then file.  I still have to shell out some money from the way it looks but there is a bunch coming back to me, which is not normal and why I think something is wrong.  I’ve got plenty of time but like to file early to get it over and done with. 

Can’t believe that it is already the start of the 2nd month of the new year.  Last month got off to a really bad start for me.  I hope that this month things are better and that by March I am back to work.  It’s kind of all up to me and I really don’t want to entertain the idea of going back until I can get rid of this fatigue and get my energy back, then get Gator to permit me to sleep at night and I should be back in business.  First of the month is always a busy time for me at work and I suppose that is now true for someone else, I am not terribly worried about it but I am concerned about what shape things will be in when I go back and have to clean up and catch up, that is the part I really don’t look forward to. 

Well back up to be with the fur monster and see what I can find on TV.  Hope that your staying warm and that you are safe.  Talk with you all again soon.
