I went to the doctor again today. At first I thought it was going to be another waste of time but was pleasantly surprised when the doctor turned out to be very knowledgeable. He instructed me in the proper use of my inhaler, asked me to cough as well as breathe deeply during the exam, and gave me a breathing treatment that included steroids. Any time I've had some sort of virus, the only thing that helps is steroids. Hooray?
Part of my problem is that I've been too busy. I've been going to work even while sick, which includes waking up early and going through all sorts of grooming rituals. When I actually get a chance to rest I start to feel how tired I am; I haven't showered in two days. My mom keeps bugging me to take time off, but one freakin' day isn't going to help me. I'd rather earn money, keep on top of my duties, and get better slowly.
I promised to go to a Special Olympics basketball tournament tomorrow, and while I think it will be really fun I sort of wish I'd vowed to stay home all weekend. Sometimes I have a lot of energy, but every time I expend it I end up getting worse. I have never been sick for this long, and it's making me angry more than anything. I want to do normal things again!
It didn't help that it was a hard week at work, that I can't find my checkbook, and that I'm sick of paying for doctor's visits. We made some awesome money from the circus show but it's gone now because I can't be bothered to cook and got take-out Thai food instead. I still have to find energy to do some laundry tomorrow.
In good news, my dental benefits start tomorrow so I'm planning on making a cleaning appointment asap. I was very excited to learn I didn't have to pay $200 for an important procedure. Also, Circus Bacchus has been featured in two different newspapers: Flaglive! and The Lumberjack. Exciting!
I'm going to try to rest more now. Night!
