Summer Cold

Caught the freakin' summer sinus crap that's going around. Treating it with over the counter meds because my nurse practioner won't prescribe anything 2 weeks out from surgery, and knowing this surgery clinic it will take them a week to return the call.

Here goes nothin'!

Yay!

Got my final CEU certificate today!

So one less thing for me to stress over...license should be renewed before June 30, with a few days to spare!

Now I'm going to take a nap. That little seizure did my energy level in...

Funny, the milder seizures tend to take the most out of me...

Got a handle on my CEU stuff.

Got a consult with the neurosurgeon on June 19 with surgery on the 20th.

Damn headache back again...

Panic attack happening...actually I've learned this is a type of seizure...

Fun...

Sense of Failure

The hurrier I go, the behinder I get...

Heard that once, and it describes where I am. So many projects to finish up...CEUs, TNR proposal,  have decided to put off applying for grad school...I don't care if there IS a full-ride grant available...if I flunk out because my brains are scrambled, it will just make life harder.

I used to be a shining star with so much potential...straight As, geek and comfortable with that, then I started getting sick in my late teens and we didn't know what to call it back then.

Now I just have to decide how I want the next year to go. I need to take it easy on myself, but not be aimless. I need to decide where I want my life to go.

If the VNS works, I should be in a lot better shape in another year than I am now. THEN I can make more "serious" decisions, more committed decisions with long-term ramifications.

It's hard to see myself as disabled, or at least inconvenienced. But it's where I am. Not WHAT I am.

Rambling now.

So tired and scramble-brained (a term I much prefer to my mother's descriptor scatter-brained).

Cooking...or lack thereof

Dinner now takes twice as long to cook as before, because I can't concentrate on two dishes at once.

Like this chicken and egg noodle creation from last night...

Had to do the chicken first. Then the noodles. Can't do both on separate burners because inevitably one will scorch.

Grrr...

Woke up shaky, blood sugar through the floor, must do simple stuff like remember to eat at regular intervals.

BTW Krystal makes awesome scramblers!

Took cat to vet to the tune of $258.00.

Lost the container to mix the medicine they gave me IN THE VAN DURING THE 10 MINUTE DRIVE HOME!!!

Talk about a frustrating Brain Fart!

Napping now to see if I can get functional for the rest of the day, which unfortunately will involve clothes shopping, which I hate. I've picked up several summer blouses which should be incision-friendly, but need a skirt or two to make them friendly for work in summer in Mississippi.
