End of July 2013
Aug. 5th, 2013 10:05 pmI went on a small vacation from last Wednesday, July 31 to yesterday, Sunday, August 4th to Poconos and Upstate New York but I will make a separate post about that.
I wanted to catch up a little on the end of July, which was not that awesome, mostly because I felt sick through most of it and had to be home because the Super was working on our bathroom. I tend to be more depressed/lethargic if I stay home, so I'm looking forward to going back to work tomorrow, despite still feeling weird at times.
I went to the doctor too, but all the test were fine - still my stomach was not feeling well at all for more than a week and that feeling still comes back sometiimes. I was trying to be a little careful about what I ate. I did go to work on Saturday a week ago, in the middle of not feeling well and I pushed through it. I tend to do that a lot in the last month. Like we were in the glass museum in Corning this past Saturday and right in the middle, right after lunch, I was feeling nauseous again and it also felt like someone was squeezing my head with plyers. Plus the ground refused to be solid all the time because my ear canal still gets unbalanced occasionally after that vertigo episode five years ago. I carried on because I refuse to let my body prevent me from doing things but it was not as fun as it could have been. So no matter how I'm feeling tomorrow, I'm going to go to work.
And in the middle of not feeling well, my heart started to act up again - I have PVCs which are benign but they feel scary since it feels like the heart is skipping a beat all the time and there is not stable rhythm. Most of the time when I feel them it is occasional but not too loud but there are times of bad episodes where I feel super tired after. I had a bad episode a week and a half ago, in the middle of not feeling well which actually made me pull up my computer and go to a forum to read about testimonials from other people to reassure myself. And having Bear to cuddle too helped a lot - I'm really glad I have support. I know I'm fine, all the tests say so, but when every day I have a point where I feel I will collapse at any time even when I logically know I won't, it gets really, really tiring.
In much better and more welcome news, the Super finally, finally fixed the leak in our bathroom ceiling. It got really bad last month and he came to work on it at the end of July. I had to go shower at Yeva's at one point and clean the bathroom several times, but it is worth it. The leak was found, the ceiling is freshly painted and no mold in sight. So, yay.
Since I did stay home so many days, I also watched some HBO Go and then Netflix - I'm working in "The House of Cards" - the American version. And I am reading both Eleanor Roosevelt bio and Oscar Wilde's "Picture of Dorian Gray" - I didn't have time to read last week, which is weird but I'm hoping to finish them by the time the semester starts and I'll have school books to read.
I also found time to finish cross-stitch for Janna's baby shower this week (I will put the pictures of that up soon) and start planing December vacation.
