Busy day today. Firstly, I got woke up sometime around 2:30 in the morning again because my left leg feel asleep, but not a normal sleep that sometimes happens to limbs, again as had happened a couple times before it felt dead, like it wasn't there, took me force moving it to get it to come alive a bit, heck I couldn't even stand on it for a minute or so. I'm not liking this one bit. I got up walked around for a little while then went back to bed. So woke up early, a little after 5:30am, got up and ready to do what I had to do today. Mom too had enough sleep and was ready to take me out. We left out of the house around 7am.
First stop to get my blood drawn, the place happened to be in walking distance from us, but I didn't find this out until late yesterday, somehow missed this closest location when looking on Google maps. So I had two tests, one for a general health panel and another for Prolactin, done in less than a minute, quick, mostly painless and arm wasn't sore afterwards (usually I am). My doc should get the results soon and then either call or email me about them. Next, post office to ship out that cross-stitch, darn, too early it don't open for another 40 minutes. Okay, we'll come back. Lets go take care of my prescription. We get into HEB, go to the pharmacy, hmm, well that's not open yet either. No biggie, so we did some grocery shopping since we were there. After shopping we went back home to drop the food off, then back out again, back to HEB.
The pharmacy was open now, I show my prescription and wanted to know how much the cost would be, I was given the price, ouch! Ah, let me think about it. We left, went back to the post office, it was open so went inside, picked out an appropriate box, rolled the stitchery up, packing it in plastic and bubble wrap before inserting in box, then wrote in address, taped up securely. Its ready to go! After we were done there, mom wanted to stop off at the library to see if they had any good movies to check out, so we went there next, but as per all our stops except the first, they weren't open yet, not until 10am, but we waited, the 20-25 or so minutes until they did. Mom was having trouble finding anything this time, but I saw Thundarr the Barbarian (old early 80s cartoon), as well as The Walking Dead season 3, so grabbed up those, she did end up finding one movie, then we checked out. On our way home, having had time to think about it, sure I could probably explore more options but this one is convenient, lets go back to HEB and see about filling my prescription.
I gave the pharmacist my prescription, she looked it up and then told me about some savings thing that I could join up for, just $5 but I get a big discount on medicine. Well, now that's more like it. Okay, lets do it! Maybe I can still get a better deal out there, but I needed to get this started now, not later. She told me it'll take them about a half and hour to fill them, oh, so you have them in stock, yes we do, she replies. Okay, so went back outside and sat in the car with mom until she got impatient and told me that they should have it ready by now. Okay, so back in there.
A small line. That's fine, its probably not ready yet anyway. I get behind some old man. He turns around and looks at me, sees me smiling and just had to do it, flirt. This fellow talked to me for a good 10-15 minutes, compliments abound in between questions, he made me smile more, I didn't mind talking to him, he was just being friendly after all. Even more so that when it came up about my mom and I had told him where she worked, he said, hey, that's where I live! It was his château after all, yeah, and he was also only 38 years old.
He was a trip. Once I get up there, okay prescription not quite yet ready, a few more minutes, okay now it is. So I got, left there happy. But after this I may want to shop around, Finasteride is expensive, hope its worth it.
Get home, only have a half and hour til I have to be at work, so make an egg salad sandwich (my first thing to eat since early evening yesterday), then off to work I go, without the heigh-yo as I was getting tired. Got to work for 12pm, worked on a little bit of something until the truck arrived about 1pm, now so far the day, all morning the weather had been nice, gray clouds, occasional drops of rain, kind of cool out, well just as I told my mom, bet once the truck comes so will the heat, and sure enough it went from comfy to humid and hot. Bad enough I was tired, but also a bit weak from not eating enough and having blood taken from me, the only good thing is it was a small load of only 7 hundred something pieces, still took a good 2 hours to unload. By the time the truck was finished and I had taken my break, had about an hour and half to work out stuff, choose to work out snacks. Well, hours for this next week are cut drastically, I'm not scheduled to go back in until Wednesday, then the next day after that Friday, which of coarse is truck day, that doesn't give much time to get caught up on anything. We're getting really backed up, but why am I so flustered over this, its not like I'm the one in charge, guess its because I've always cared too much about getting things done when its something that I'm involved in, but have never been in control over how.
Anyway, work over with, my feet are dragging out that door, mom and Snickers were waiting for me in the car, Snickers as always so eager to sit on my lap the moment I get in, time to go home. Once home, mom had shown me that I got my food stamps card, okay good (we certainly could've used it earlier today though), just need to call to activate it. But we'd also got a letter from Time Warner (or internet provider) regarding something about us having to change our password because someone had tampered with our account, I still don't understand what this was about. Anyway, thinking it wouldn't take too long, I put some left over pasta in the microwave, start heating that up, get on the phone before I decide to hop in the shower and relax afterwards. Well, I was on the phone for over 40 minutes! It was crazy what I was being put through just for some stupid password that was supposedly changed recently without my consent, I didn't even know the purpose of this password. For what it seemed when it was all over it was just for my Time Warner email account that I didn't even know I had since I had never used it. The lady over the phone was difficult to understand, and me not understanding the steps she kept trying to walk me through at one point I got so flustered that I gave up and had to walk away from the phone, nearly crying because I was not only extremely pissed off but very tired. This event had me cursing more than I had probably the whole year (exaggeration, but it was a lot!). I scared my dog. Mom took over with talking to her, and when I cooled enough I came back over to try this again, creating a new password so that this whatever would be secure. What a @#$%ing waste of my time!
After that I took my shower, now after 6pm, an hour after I had gotten off of work. Took one Finasteride tablet, broke one of my estradiol tablets in half as the doc suggested, put that under my tongue, was fine with this one (as he said, the full dose was probably too much for me). I then finally sat down to relax, started typing out my day, but as much info as I had to enter in, mom kept asking me when I would be finished so we could watch The Walking Dead, so I saved what I had (about halfway through it all) then we sat down to watch it. Its after 1:30am now, just finished watching disc 1 like nearly an hour ago, got back to this log entry, will cruise around Susan's for a bit, then off to bed I guess.
