next week = loooong week.
I have to check the work schedule to make sure I'm not working 12-hour days on Mon or Tues--I don't think I am? But I'll double check. The annoying thing is that I have to work Thursday from 7-1 because one of our group will be out on bereavement leave (he just lost his grandmother :( ) so we're all picking up the slack, and I said I'd take a shift Wednesday morning (but I'll be fourth in the stack so I don't need to be in at 7am) and Thursday morning (when I will be primary and have to be at work at 6:45am). And I have to be in on Friday because we're scheduling a tabletop exercise for a thing, and I said I'd coordinate it, and Fridays are our best days to have these things, so I have to be there for that.
I also forgot until tonight that I said I'd take CM4 tomorrow from 1pm - 7pm. I don't expect they'll need me, and it's not like I have to go into the office or anything, but if all hell breaks loose I could get called. Except I forgot my laptop at work, so that'll be problematic. Here's hoping no one calls.
I am working many more hours than I was at my previous position, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I definitely feel like I"m doing more to earn my salary, and I also feel like I'm a lot more qualified for this position than I was for the last one, which is kind of funny since this is a lot more demanding and there's a lot more work involved. But it's all mostly stuff I've done before, and I know what I'm doing and I feel comfortable with it. I'm glad to be back in crisis management (which was incident management at the last place, but whatever, same idea) and I'm glad to be doing things I'm good at.
I saw the pulmonologist today and told him that I haven't needed my rescue inhaler in months, and I'm not even sure I need the Singulair anymore. He was totally okay with this, and said I could definitely stop it, but it'll take a couple weeks to find out if I actually need it or if I'm okay without it. Since I have a few weeks' worth of pills, I'm going to stop it now, and in two weeks or so if I'm having problems breathing I'll go back on it and call his office for a new prescription. If I don't need it, I'm all good and hell if I know when I have to go back.
I'm a little nervous about stopping it, because I've been on it for a year, but I really don't think I need it. So we'll find out. The worst that happens is I end up using my rescue inhaler a few times and start on the Singulair again in a couple weeks.
I have a pain clinic appointment in about eleven hours. I'm not sure what they'll do for me if anything, but we'll find out. Unfortunately I had to push my Botox appointment out a week so I've got two weeks until that now, which means the headaches might get worse until then, so hopefully they can help me. Wish me luck.
