Ugh–again

Morning – I think the short course of steroids did give me a jump start but I think that is wearing off.  I woke up this morning after having a good nights sleep and felt lousy.  My neck is killing me which in the last few years is a sign that I am sick.  I feel horrible.  Really don’t feel like doing any work today. 

However, I trudged down here and got logged in.  Things started off calm.  It allowed me to return upstairs and take a brief in and out nap over the course of an hour.  I woke up, fell back asleep and woke up again. 

Came down to a meeting and just hearing my bosses voice I wanted to tell him to fuck off.  He’s being his normal self but honestly I’m just not in the mood to deal with it today.  Played his little game and went through the first meeting.  We have another one coming up in a few minutes. 

I’m debating if I want to stick around for the rest of the day or just call it and unplug & rest with the hope that I will feel better tomorrow.  There’s nothing major going on at the moment or over the course of the next few days that is on my calendar.  Nothing that is that my co-worker couldn’t cover.  While I really don’t want to take anymore time off, if my body continues to tell me to rest I’m certainly going to listen to it. 

The part that sucks is since I have been back for a full day it’s a reset on the timer.  We have to use 5 days of our time before short term disability kicks in.  Had I known that I would feel like this I would have just stayed out longer.  Honestly STD (Short Term Disability) is a nightmare with the paperwork and emails, keeping up with them makes it feel very much like your working.  Imagine having do to all that while your feel like death.  I don’t know how it works if your in the hospital but I suspect that they would just withhold payment while you were hospitalized until you could complete the paperwork. 

Insurance companies and paperwork they go together like love & marriage.  You can’t have one without the other.  :)

Had my soup and sandwich last night for supper.  It was pretty good.  Right now I’m looking forward to Chicken Noodle for lunch, despite not really wanting to eat I think adding some food might change things, hopefully for the better.  Well off to my meeting. 

Take care!
