So Many Issues, So Little Time

I really don't know why I've become 'Issue Girl' as of late, but I have. I feel like my world has been turned upside down and don't know when or why it happened. So, I'm trying to work through it. Lucky for you, you get to enjoy the show:-)

Work Issue:
I know, I know! I keep bringing this up. I think it's because I haven't gotten the results I want yet. There's no way in hell I'm getting Saturdays off. In fact, my warehouse is so busy that they are calling ALL employees in to work Saturdays. Even the Senior employees that haven't worked a Saturday in years (decades for some). So measly little 'ol me ain't getting it off! And the warehouse that is closest to us isn't as busy but they aren't accepting transfers right now. So, I'm going to aim for Mondays off to compliment my Tuesdays and Thursdays. It's the least busiest night of the week so I'm not anticipating any problems with that. Now I just have to pin down the scheduler and get it set into stone, so to speak.

Continuing on with work issues, I think I have finally realized that me working is no longer 'temporary' as was my mindset when I started. If we want to eat and have any kind of a life, I HAVE to work. So I'm still trying to be okay with that - it is getting easier, now that my cycle is over:-) I'll bring it up again next month, I'm sure!

Home Issue:
The house is still driving me nuts. I can't stand the crap and unorganization that we have going on right now. I need to just take it a little at a time like I've mentioned before. The Flylady way if you will. I'm getting there! Slowly but surely.

The yard, garage and animals are another story. I took the girls outside yesterday to plant our blueberry bushes in pots and they couldn't really enjoy themselves because the yard was full of poop and mud. How fun is that?! Our garage door is all jacked up so we have to hold the button down IN the garage to get it to close. Forget about closing it with the remote. I'd call someone to come out and look at it but the garage is so nasty from the animals that I'd rather just park outside and leave the door closed. I'm thinking about putting in a doggy door on the side of the house so the dogs and cats can go in and out of the garage and back yard at will. But I'm sure they wouldn't use it! (sigh)

Health Issue:
I had a longer cycle than usual so I think all those extra hormones reeked havoc on me! I really thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown! I just couldn't deal with anything and was pissed off and, as Quinn put it, Mean:( When I woke up on Friday, I finally felt like myself again. And then I started sneezing. It can't be all roses and puppy dogs all the time I guess! There's got to be some thorns and poop thrown in the mix too!

And just to make it more interesting, I found a lump on my neck on Saturday. I was thinking thyroid (and hoping so since that would maybe explain my 'mean streak') but when I showed K.C. he said it was lymphnoids. That put a scare into both of us so I called yesterday and actually got a Dr. appointment this morning. The Dr. said that since I have an upper respiratory virus going on, she's not worried about it yet. She gave me some Claritin D to take for 10 days and suggested I take an anit-inflammatory like Tylenol or Motrin to see if that would help it. If I still have the lump (now there's two of them - I found another, smaller one last night) after the 10 days then I'll go back in and get the whole blood workup done and a chest x-ray done to rule out any respiratory infections. Just one more thing to worry about...

So that's the fun that's been going on around here! Oh I'm sure there's more but right now we need to head over to Costco and get my much anticipated Shark Steam Mop! I've got some serious floor cleaning to do today!
