An Update on This and That

Work was an absolute bear this week, starting at 8 on Monday morning and going all week, and do you know what did not help me cope with that?

Getting my fucking period, after 2-3 years (depending on what you count), and after over a year on hormone therapy, WTAF, body. 

Hormones suck and bodies are the worst.

Waking up this morning with cramps and debilitating backache was not fun (seriously, I could hardly stand up and walk). However, to look on the bright side:

• first of all, I slept until 10, thank you eye mask, I haven't slept that late in forever
• second, I didn't have a single thing on the schedule, nothing that HAD to be done today
• finally, codeine helped take the back pain down to manageable

One thing that helped me cope this week was having some time off to look forward to. Two things, actually:

• We get next Friday off, for 4th of July, and I took the following Monday as a vacation day, so 4-day weekend
• Later in July, I'm going to Key West for a few days with friends, and my intentions are to rest and relax as much as possible. I am so looking forward to the down time. More on that to come.

Another happy thing that happened today is that the canvas photo print I ordered of Maggie arrived. And as the photo I picked doesn't have an obvious up or down, I have to decide which way to hang it:

I mean, you could argue for any of them, right?

Anyway, that's enough for me: time to go back to slouch on the couch. What a day.
