Happy Thursday!
I'm feeling a little bit better today, a bit more like myself. I went to the doctor's office yesterday, and they worked me in with an NP from another team (they have like 3 or 4 teams of doctors in this clinic). She was really, really nice, and very helpful. Turns out I didn't have a sinus infection, but my allergies have my sinuses inflamed. I also have liquid in my ears, especially my right ear, and she said she could see the scars of previous ear infections. No doctor has ever told me that, though I did have a ton of ear infections as a kid.
So, she put me on prednisone, a steroid, to get the inflamation fixed, and she's having me take Sudafed to help with everything else. It seems to be working so far, so yay! I hate being sick. I get all whiny and mopey, and I hate being like that.
Everything went well with my stepdad yesterday with his orientation, and he hits the road today! He's taking a load out to Cleveland; he doesn't like running the East Coast because it's more stressful, but he took it because it pays 5 cents more a mile. So that's some stress off of me now that my parents will have money coming in again. And my mom got in contact with her state representative over the issue of his last employer not paying him, and since the employer is in another county & jurisdiction, he can't directly help, but he's good friends with the rep from that area, and they're gonna be getting involved, as will the Attorney General. My mom also told me that she found out from my dad that the company was really skeevy: they had a lot of illegals employed, the trucks were not in good shape, and the owner has done this before, not paying folks; he just keeps changing the company name to try and hid shit. Not good, but hopefully the government can help get my stepdad the pay he deserves.
Last night's Glee was fucking awesome! I'm so glad I stayed up for it, and I'm keeping it on the TiVo (recorded it in case I fell asleep). Kristin Chenoweth was absolutely amazing, as usual, and it was so wonderful to get to see her sing. When the piano into for "Maybe This Time" started playing, I just wanted to cry. That's my favorite song from Cabaret, and it was heaven to hear her sing it. I'm definitely buying a bunch of songs from the show on iTunes tonight!
Okay, back to work. Thank goodness the week is nearly over!
