Red Sky in Morning, Sailors take warning? I hope that's not what it means today. First day working a Real shift again. 7am-4pm Monday-Friday. Which means my weekend is free again! Wooohoooo! No more crawling out of bed right after getting all warm and snuggly with Mistress and Master, no sleeping at the club because I have to (unless Mistress and Master say, of course.) And Road trips, and ski trips! Yay!!
Speaking of trips, called Amanda and Mark in Ottawa last night. They've been wanting me to come up for years, but because A) I was a minor at the time, and B) I was poor, I couldn't. That is more than likely going to change this weekend. I'm either flying or driving up on Friday. Master and Mistress are going away for the weekend, and instead of running rampid around town, painting mosaics with photo oil paints, I think I'm going to go to Canada and get some cigars. MMM cubans.
Got doughnuts for the office this morning. Not sure if I did it to be nice, or to try to suck up in case I've passed out when everyone else gets in. I think I really just wanted a good cup of coffee, and Dunkin Doughnuts knows just how to make it with the right amount of cream and sugar. Best coffee in town, in my humble opinion. Had to go to the one on Elden Street, since they didn't open till 6 and I was up and on the road at 5:30. Was half tempted to drop a dozen off at Master and Mistress', but knew I would get in trouble if I did. That and They might have frozen, and I don't think Frozen Boston Kreme's would taste very good.
As for the cat allergy mentioned yesterday, I don't believe its really an allergy to cats. Its an allergy to something, I'm fearing, however. My nose is still stuffed, and I've been sneezing like crazy. And my throat still feels like crap. When I call the Doc about my test results today, I'll ask him about that. I thought he had mentioned giving me a prescription of Zyrtec, but nothing more was said after they decided to do an EKG and then the evil evil needly thing that they said would barely hurt.
Is it 4 yet? Ah well, on with the day.

Ugh...

I officially feel like shit. My eyes are burning, my throat is sore, I'm sniffling, and I feel sinus pressure so bad, it feels like I have swelling in my gums. I would love to spend my lunch hour sleeping at home, but by the time I got home, I would have to turn around and come right back. Not really much point. Its lunch time and I should be hungry, but I'm not. At least work isn't too bad today. Actually getting to be a part of things, trying to organize the backups and such. Now if the doc would call back with my test results.
Think I'm gonna get a wet cloth to put on my face. Yes, I realize I'm whining, but I don't feel like I do it too often.
So, long awaited test results are in. Nothing's wrong with my body, I'm apparently perfect. Except for my heart. Tomorrow, I get plugged up to a holter monitor, for 24 hours. Gonna take a long bath tonight and some cold medicine. then Wednesday I'm going to have a cappuccino again and see if I have a heart beat thingy again. Mom tried to comfort me by saying it was nothing because my aunt has some problem where her Valve doesn't close right. And then continued the wonderful tale by telling me that my Grandmother died of a hole in her heart. Yay mom! So anyway, everyone be careful when hugging me tomorrow and Wednesday cause I'll be all wired up. And if one wire falls off, I have to do it again. Not fun. I still think it would be neat to play around with it though. Skydive with it on or something (no this does not mean I want to skydive, it was just the first major heart-against-chest kind of thing.)
Maybe its just my heart being really hyper, only at the wrong time. Like its really excited about my life too, but its excited when I'm really calm, kinda like when someone yells in a room when it suddenly gets all quiet.Hmm. Strange metaphor, but it works. That's probably it.
Well 15 minutes till I get to leave. Gotta write up the log and clean the history.
Echinacea tea is a Goddess' blessing. Just had a cup in my special teacup, and I'm already feeling a little better. Thinking about dosing up on nyquil tonight, but not 100 percent sure on that.
Just found out that Kate's playing Italian in Algiers in her concert in March. This was a piece we played in high school, so I've asked to play in the French Horn section. If they can find me a french horn that is. Sometimes I really miss playing. I doubt I'll get to do it, but its still cool cause Kate's gonna be the soloist (its a bitch of an oboe part.)
Well, finishing renaming some files and then to bed with me. Tomorrow, a heart monitor, and meeting the CFO of our company.
Night!
Of my own volition, I just took liquid nyquil. Yes I'm feeling that bad. If I miss my alarm tomorrow, tell my boss I'm sorry. *Note for viewers- I hate this stuff. Its like drinking battery acid to me. I nearly throw it up right after I take it, but I can't sleep so it has now become necessity. But at least I think it'll knock this cold.
