biting the bullet
I went back to work yesterday for the first time in two weeks. I didn't think it would be much worse from my new schedule of wake up, WoW, shower, eat. WoW or xBox, eat, WoW or xBox, TV, bed. I mean, I mostly just sit here and work in the computer, but I was exhausted and hurt bad. Last night I crashed hard on the couch for 5 hours after Jenna left. Woke up hurting so I walked around for a while and tried bed. After tossing and turning I finally fell asleep, but I woke up screaming when a cat jumped on me and it felt like I was being stabbed in the leg.

While Jenna is gone:
- I'm going to let those that have offered come over to help as much as I am ashamed and enbarassed. I full recognize that I am being ridiculous by feeling ashamed, but apparently logic does not apply to me anymore.
- I'm going to seriously research short-term disability through work. My employer matches the payment so while it will be a fraction of my usual pay, it may turn out to be more than I am able to work - then I won't need to feel so stressed and tired.
- Find a recliner and new used office chair for home. I sat in my mom-in-law's recliner on Mother's Day; it was the most comfortable I've been in weeks. I've lost so much weight my office chair is not cushy enough for my butt so I must get a replacement since I spend so much time in it. If anyone has either of these things taking up space I'd be happy to take them off your hands.
