Day Two Hundred and Sixty Four.

    Well I had a ridiculously hard time getting to sleep last night because I hadn't had to get to sleep that early in over two weeks! I probably am estimating that I got about 4 hours total, so tonight I'm going to have to get a lot more or I'll really have a rough day tomorrow. It's impossible for me to even explain how busy I was at work today....it was horrible. I grabbed my coffee and a granola bar around 9am, then I didn't leave the immediate area I was working in for the rest of the day. In fact I was there until after 4:30pm. That will actually help me out later this week, because I am missing the first three hours of work tomorrow, due to follow up testing for my upper right quadrant pain.
    I'm slightly nervous about having another exam for this pain because I've read a lot of things online which say that some people can have this pain for years and it goes completely undiagnosed. Ugh-that would be the worst case scenario. I have been feeling a lot better than I had been prior to the vacation but the pain still waxes and wanes. The symptom which has completely resolved is the nausea and that was driving me crazy. Due to the fact I'm missing some time at work I'll have to make it up throughout this week so it's good I'll already have an extra hour in from today. I think what I'll do is skip my breaks tomorrow, although it's not like I had time to take any real breaks today either:(
    When I got home from work I stopped at the food store to pick up some items, including paper towels, then went on a cleaning spree around the house. I cleaned the floor in the kitchen as well as the downstairs bathroom. Then I took a shower, folded the laundry from the day before, and wiped down all of the counter tops in my kitchen as well as the living room. Finally it was dinner time and I had the last piece of blackened chicken from the freezer, which my boyfriend had made a few months ago. After dinner my dog got a bath and that was it.
    I washed my hands today more than I did the last week so they're a little bit red. I'm hoping a little bit of Aveeno tonight will clear them right up. That's all for now!
