In the past, change of any magnitude would send me spiraling downward. I can't pinpoint exactly when I got over that, but I recognize now that change is pretty much the only constant, like ever. Even dead things change.
So, the Beloved's work schedule changed again. After much time on an earlier shift, he's now on a 10:00 am shift. Doesn't mean my brain will sleep in to accordingly adjust. Just means maybe I'll make it through the day without a nap, and maybe I won't. I mean, seriously ... We didn't go to bed til 1:00 am-ish, and who was up at 4:45 am? Clue: Not him.
Me. That's who was awake at 4:45 am. This, however, was me in Seattle, sleepless.
I thought I would be able to access my patient portal so I could get the official numbers from yesterday's visit, but apparently their website is also in a state of flux and was not available. :/ Suffice it to say, all things looking good. Blood pressure - good. Resting heart rate (the actual resting one, not the one after walking all over the place to get back to the room one) - 80. A1C (the quickie test) was either 6.5 or 6.9, or 6.-something. For the life of me, I can't remember. All I remember is that the doc said, "No meds for you!" SCORE!!!!!!! That was the goal (in my brain!)
I really can't say much more until I get some actual data, so I can make comparisons, either from my visit there last May or from my visit to the OB/GYN at some point after that. Or both, even.
The shoulder thing, whilst bothersome, is on hold for at least a month, to see if some daily stretching, and consumption of an anti-inflammatory will clear it up.
Meanwhile, would you just LOOK at this room?
Apart from the Moulin Rouge version, this is totally befitting of the room in which it's in!
Probably my favoritest part of the fil-em.
Though I haven't watched the movie in many years, I bet it is still one of my favorites, though I'm sure some of that opinion will have changed, as well. Going off on a tangent - I know this because I tried to watch Baz Luhrmann's Elvis, and it was just too much. The look was kind of similar, but damn, was that movie going all over the place. Way more movement than Moulin Rouge, or Romeo + Juliet had. Way more. Way much. Tangent over.
Back to reality, it was a weird day adjusting to my Beloved's new schedule. I was up around 5:15-ish, by 8:30, I was at the doctor's office. Then, off to Kroger my way to some Polaner preserves for his PB&Js, and then to Meijer for the weekly hunt-gather session. Oh, and I bought snacks. Yes, I did. As if to celebrate my healing, I made sure it's still "healing" and not "healed."
The ways we justify the things we do, right?
Got home. Tried to attend a meeting. My microphone malfunctioned. Did some work stuff. Ate my unhealthy snack lunch. Did some more work stuff, and piddled around playing Solitaire, here and there. Again, those scheduled movement times got deleted. Had another meeting. Did some laundry, some dishes, set some new mouse traps to replace the two "used" ones - we caught two more. Christ! - ate early dinner, did some more work stuffs, and then, when he finally got home around 11:30 last night, we watched an episode of The Last of Us (I think it's called).
I think my project(s) for today will include getting all the donation stuff out to the car, tearing down boxes, and putting away all the things I had to wash during Mousegeddon the other day.
Oh, and if you know of anyone who wants a piano (that probably lives locally to me) and can come get it, let me know. I have lost my heart (more flux) for playing it. It's been years since I actually did so. It does need some cosmetic revisions, but otherwise, it was a fairly excellent model in its prime, and would not take a whole lot to restore it to former glories.
