What a beautiful day outside. It’s incredible. I have noticed my snow drops are open. They are so pretty and so small. Can you tell I’m trying to notice the little things? I have to admit the past 2 weeks have been very rough on me and I wasn’t sure I would pull through all of this but I’m still standing, as you can see.
Today didn’t go too bad. I got up extra early to get the garbage out and to clean up downstairs before the VON arrived. I was expecting them early but I received a call at 8am saying that they wouldn’t be arriving until 11:30. This rattled me some because the blood clinic would be closed but I know now that the blood clinic is closed to the public at 11:00am but is actually open all day. After I found out the VON was going to be late I headed upstairs to see how much cleaning I could do until the Home Care worker arrived. I knew she was coming around 9:30am and instead of sitting idle I cleaned upstairs a little bit. I am so far behind in my housework I feel I will never get caught up, especially upstairs. Since I had pneumonia and than ended up with a second batch of antibiotics for infection in my sinuses my system is very tired. Plus this new cold virus is not helping matters. I can barely talk without clearing my throat every minute and the headaches. If I could just get rid of these damn headaches!!! I was thinking of going to the walk in clinic tonight but I really don’t feel like going now. After the VON left I had to call mom to come and stay with gram and than drive to town with grams blood to the hospital. I feel very tired this afternoon and I just feel like napping
I was talking to hub early this morning which is rather rare. He still isn’t working, just training and the one buddy who took the course with him is thinking of leaving the company and finding work elsewhere. This is ridiculous for a company to expect men to train two weeks and pay for a course themselves and than go out there and train again for another two weeks or maybe longer without making a cent. I don’t blame the man for wanting to leave the company, no one can do that today and my hub is fed up also but he doesn’t know what to do for the best. If he leaves he has to pay for the courses he took while out there. They are not cheap but to continue on without any income coming in is crazy. Plus they hold the first two weeks pay from you. It’s funny, everyone was saying to me oh once hub starts to make money everything will fall into place, well hub hasn’t made any money yet and it’s been a month now of training. I know my hub is scared because he said this morning that he may have to go looking elsewhere too because we can’t live without money and we have to pay this dept off for the course and traveling expenses and the 1000.00+ they required you to have while you are out there. I said to hub I know now why they wanted you to have this 1000.00 dollars. They knew you would not be working right away which should have been told to the men. So everything now is up in the air. I figure if hubs roomy leaves, hub will follow because we need money to survive. This is so nuts. I’m beginning to think we are cursed or something
I just received a call from the doctor and grams warfarin dosage has been altered, yet again. The doctor asked if I wanted VON to come in on Monday to do blood work and I said yes. Gram is still not over her cold and it’s a lot easier on me to have gram stay inside than dragging the wheelchair and her out.
I’m tired. I just wonder if this exhaustion that I’m feeling is from stress or the cold I have. It would be so nice to actually wake up and have energy again……….
