Ooooh, healthy vibes for everyone.
In the health roll call... I'm two weeks into PT for my ankle and I had a cast taken to get a Richie brace. I'm so ready to be done with the boot, but the turnaround time for the brace is sloooow. PT is helping. Gradually.
One positive side effect is that my migraines have all but stopped (until this week) either due to the anti-inflammatory I'm taking or the fact that alcohol is contra-indicated with the med. I guess I'll have to figure that out eventually. I'm blaming this week on allergies plus yo-yo weather. This migraine started on the left side of my head Tuesday, kept me home from work Wednesday, faded a little Thursday, then shifted to the right side of my head. Limiting screen time and not reading is so very boring.
Survived evening shift. Of course my hand flared up. Now to see when I can fall asleep. It's boring as hell, but you have to pay attention & that means I need to wind down.
Is it wrong of me to hope that out of this medical suckiness, I get a drs orders out of grave shifts? (For: right now, all shift work is short term, we sign up, so pretty voluntary. Come 2021, gonna be 24/7, so it'll be routine. I want to never run a week of grave.)
Sorry about the grave yard shift work. I know I would suck at that. I am nodding off around 9!
DH's grandmother found the RA diet very helpful for her joint issues, but only did it when she got bad because grandpa insisted on eating icky stuff like kidney pie and fish and chips. She would follow the diet until she was mobile again then go back to eating her British staples diet so she wouldn't have to cook separate meals for them. I've tried to get DH to try it because he knows how it worked for her, and yet he eats fried chicken and drinks tons of diet mountain dew. Oh well. I'm not the boss of him!
In yet another moment of polls being meaningless, Prime Minister Scott Morrison defied the predictions and won the Australian elections. Seriously, every time I see polls and predictions I grumble. False hope is all they represent to me.
Does anyone here wear a medium LLR Amelia dress? I have some I am getting rid of and I'd be happy to let them go for $5 each plus shipping.
- black with small whit polka dots
- solid red with textured fabric
- grey with thin horizontal red stripes
Let me know if you're interested.
I've done some housework and it's a beautiful day out, but I just want to watch Drag Race! Meh.
It is hailing here and looks slightly like the world is ending. Power's already gone out once.
Hi all. I am skipping and skimming, but I feel like I need Buffistas support to do this. I think I am ready to quit my theatre job. I got the parameters for next year that we need to not pay student workers. I was ready to stick it out a couple of years until they had a full time position ready, which I wouldn't take. However, the amount of time from me required to give credit students a good educational experience is not available.
I received a promotion at my day job that is all about providing good educational experiences that also allows me, monetarily to quit
It means giving up my identity as a theatre professional and that is hard,
But I am thinking that using my theatre skill to make good nurses might be OK, and also I could volunteer and help people that way.
