last few days events...
Ok, yesterday, my department found out that our director is leaving the company due to health reasons...we knew it was a possibility but never actually thought it would happen. It ended up impacting me a lot more than I thought emotionally. I never much cared for her as a manager (although she's a heck of a lot better than most) but she's a great person and had very insightfull things to say on a personal level for me. I know the decision was difficult for her and she was very emotional about leaving our group...She was very proud of us as a group...it kind of took the wind out of our sails. Now there's a bit of uncertainty as to what will happen with our group. Will we be assimilated into other depts, Will we be disbanded and the work absorbed by others...etc...nobody seems to know but for the time being, things will proceed as they are. We shall see.
That same evening, Aaron came over for dinner, movie and a sleepover...it was nice and relaxing (especially after a few adult beverages to take the edge off of the day!) I really like having him around. He's such a sweetie and I just feel so at peace when he's here with me.
I also made another cake sale...to my Chiropractor. She wanted me to make a Home Improvement cake so I did...it came out really good and it smelled wonderful. She liked it so I made some extra money for my vacation next week...yay! We're heading to Pigeon Forge next weekend after my friend Ron flies in. We're going to go have some fun! Yippeeeee!
Today, was a bit of a nightmare. I went to the allergist to get my shots and had a bad reaction in the office. Epinephren shots later, I was feeling better and they kept me there for a bit to make sure I was ok. I "was ok" and went to work. After about 20 minutes there, I broke out again. I started swelling up and turning red and having trouble breathing. People started gathering around giving me wet papertowels, fanning me and panicking...which added to my panicking a bit. I took another antihistamine and tried calming myself down. It worked and I slowly returned to my normal state but my arms are extremely sore and will probably bruise from how much they swelled up.
After work, I went to Alex's to make some Puerto Rican rice for him (he's been craving it and doesn't know how to make it) and fix his speakers on the surround sound. I made the rice but it was a bit soggy...I put too much water, but it did taste good. We got his speakers to work on everything but his stereo...for some reason it won't pick up FM signals...don't know if the receiver was damaged or what. We had dinner and watched TV for a bit. It was nice to catch up and see him doing so much better than before. Annwn was cute as ever and we played with her toys for a bit before I had to get home as I was getting rather sleepy. And with that said...I'm going to bed. Night!
