Tired and Stressed and Looking Forward to the Weekend

[queenoftheskies]

There was so much going on at work today. People from Corporate (in CT) there, people from the Santa Ana division there. And, I keep getting more and more and more heaped upon me.

Now, I can't complain completely, because they're willing to let me scream for help if it gets to be too overwhelming. I asked them to just be patient since it's a lot of stuff to start up, but there were so many people and meetings and so many THINGS that I couldn't help but stress.

Plus, I had to take an hour and a half to take my youngest son to register for high school today--HOORAY!!!--and they let him go on to classes after we were done. So, that ordeal is over. HOORAY!

However, a side effect of the stress is being exhausted. I haven't slept much this week because of starting work AND the fact that, on Sunday, I'll be out of meds. That's kinda scary. And, they're working on getting the insurance entered, but I don't think I'll have it in time. So, too many things on my mind, not enough sleep.

Plus, this entire money thing is making me nuts. Trying to figure out how the holy hell I'm going to cover bills and such. I get paid every two weeks now. And, naturally, pay day is this week and they didn't get us entered into the system in time to pay us. So, three weeks without a paycheck. Eeeek! On top of less money.

But, I'm just grumpy tonight cause I don't feel good. :)

Which pours over into my writing with another side effect. I feel like what I wrote today was almost useless. Now, it could very well be. It could be nothing more than keeping me writing. Or, as I've noticed other times in the past, it could be fine and my mood could just cast it in a bad light. Depends what I write after it, I guess. I think I'm moving the story forward, but, I'll see where it moves to next before I decide.

Any new job took a month for me to settle into and at the end of that first month I'd find that the horrible exhaustion would be gone as well. One month, every single time.

wow! I'm really impressed by your progress per day! Go you!

I am editing...It's like molasses rolling uphill in the dead of winter for forward motion. Creeeeping along at the speed of slug. Eye roll please!

As for wondering if what you've written tonight is any good or not, wait for tomorrow (or later) and have another look.

Now, listen to your mutha and go to bed. If you can't sleep go dig out an old text book and start reading. Insta zonk. Cheers : ).

"Speed of slug" is an awesome turn of phrase.

Also: KITTY!

Thanks, I'm from the slug capital of the world, NW washington (state, that is). The slug almost became our state bird. (or mascot or something...) ; )

It's great you've finally got your son's education sorted :) It's worrying that you'll be without your medication after the weekend though. Can the company provide insurance now, or are you completely on your own?

If you call your doctor and explain the situation, they can often give you either samples, or get enough meds through a voucher from the pharma companies to last you through the uninsured period. You may have to go in to sign for them, but rarely do you need another "appointment" unless you're due for one. If that's the case, you have to have one in order for the drug companies to provide the meds.

All of them have these assistance programs, though, as ways to give back and because it's dangerous to stop taking many medications cold turkey.

You take care of you. :)
