It's been One Week

[fierce313]

Since I came home from the hospital. I still have two faint bruises, one on my stomach from where they gave me heparin shots and one on my arm from where I had an IV.

They are nearly gone.

Sleepiness from the medicine comes and goes, as does dizziness and a bit of a dopey feeling.

Today I have a bunch of errands I am doing in part because they need doing and in part because they will keep me out of the house while a repairman comes by our place. I don't want to be there for that. Not sure why, but I REALLY REALLY don't want to.

I wonder if Netflix observes Columbus Day or not. Probably.

Here is my list of things to do today:

1. Hit the UPS Store and drop off a package.
2. Grab a cup of coffee and read my newspaper at a coffee shop of my choosing.
3. Go to Penneys and return some things I ordered online.
4. Do two loads of laundry I managed to not do yesterday when I did laundry.
5. Drop some mail off at the post office.
6. Put away clothes that don't fit, iron things, hang up clothes.
7. Decide on what's for dinner (it will involve pork chops, I think).
8. Go to craft store to have prints framed (OPTIONAL), maybe buy some crafting stuff.

Hmmm. Not as much stuff as I thought it was. The UPS Store and Penneys will take 5-10 minutes each, not factoring driving time. The coffee can take up to an hour, but the paper is pretty thin these days. Laundry will take close to 90 minutes, so that will be the biggest time expenditure. I oughtta bring something to read for that, too. I think I'll vaccuum my car while the clothes are washing (there's a carwash attached to the laundromat).
So ends my boring list.

I struggled a lot this weekend with thoughts of suicide. The Man and I talked about it a little bit and he brought up Sylvia Plath, and I had to nip that conversation in the bud, because she is one of the people who make me think I will die by my own hand one day. It's difficult to explain.

I have to leave in a half an hour. Can't forget to brush my teeth before I go... I should eat breakfast too. But I think I'll eat out. That will be fun.
