Day Eighteen.

    I had a fairly stressful day today which started off with me sleeping in a lot later than I wanted to. When I woke up, my parent's had just gotten up as well and I looked at my Mother's finger which seemed a lot worse today. It's hard to tell if it's just because of all the things she's been putting on it or what. At any rate I asked a friend if she knew of any urgent care centers and she found one right down the street to my house so I asked my Dad if he could take her. He did and it sounds like the doctor didn't really think to much about it and said it was the shingles. I am a bit skeptical so I encouraged her to call her own doctor tomorrow morning before she started taking what he prescribed. We'll see what happens tomorrow.
    I was having a hard time with my obsessive compulsiveness this morning too, because of course with guests in the house things aren't the way I usually have them. I didn't do too bad though. After Dad took Mom to the doctors this afternoon I was able to put a load of laundry in and take my shower, which made me feel better. I also tided up a few things that were bothering me before going to work. When I have people staying with me I really have to work very hard to not freak out and starting picking up after them. It's so easy to get set in your ways when you live alone, it's really bizarre. When my Mom comes to visit me it's almost the most disruptive of all the house guests because she makes herself right at home and she's not very shy about telling me what I'm doing wrong when it comes to anything in my life. Sometimes I get very short tempered when she's around too which is the worst. I just try to tell myself that she only visits for short periods of time and being nice to her is the better thing to do.
    I am really missing my boyfriend today and I can't wait to see him on Tuesday. We spoke a little while today when I drove to work, but not long. He does a great job of making me feel better when I'm stressed, which I was. Work was pretty steady tonight, but it went by really fast. Ugh, my hands look pretty crappy because of working this weekend I was washing them a lot. Tomorrow is Monday and I'm glad I don't have too much to do in the morning. That's going to be it for now!
