Howzit all? Did you enjoy the first weekend of November and the time change? It's my favorite time because it gets dark sooner and encourages cozy time. Yep, I have reverse SAD so this is my summer.
I will have to make a very stern phone call this morning as my vein place didn't bother, you know, submitting approval for my vein procedures in 2 weeks. I was hoping to move the appointments up but now that they've screwed this all up, I can't. So what if I wouldn't have been following this? I would've shown up, signed my little piece of paper pre-procedure that says I'm responsible for whatever insurance doesn't cover thinking I had pre-approval when I don't. I am beyond ticked.
We spent the weekend getting some of the bathroom stuff in gear. I got the medicine cabinet painted, got the vanity doors painted...
...and got two coats on the drawers and entire vanity which somehow felt like it killed me.
The crapper of it, well, several crappers are 1) it's oil based so it's gagging me out 2) it's taking four coats because I had to use white primer and 3) my body is contorted trying to paint and is in total pain from it. I had a ton of work to get done as well so it was a very overwhelming weekend. No matter what I sprayed or did, the fumes were burning my throat and keeping me lightheaded. You would think starting to get that stuff done would take a load off but I added teeth grinding to my to do list so I guess not.
I'll tell you one thing though, I have been fighting the food demon for about 2-3 weeks and losing. It's like I got a peek at my weight at the gynie, thought it wasn't quite as bad as I thought and have done everything I can to sabotage myself. Extra snacks, higher calorie foods on non high cal days, 2am bedtimes, crying jags about Mom, frustration with my last therapy session and the pile of crap left in my lap and despite still walking every night, it's not like it can counteract any of that. Literally a pair of jeans that fit me Friday are tight today. I feel like everything is spinning out of control and I don't feel like I have the willpower to stop any of it. I know there are things I can do but I feel like there are nothing but things to do all day, every day for now until the end of time. I feel like that's all I've had for well over 2 years now and I'm exhausted to the core.
Our shower system is supposed to ship this week according to the last communication we got from them but the Mr is going to follow up with them today and try to at minimum tentatively get us on the schedule. I have a pit in my stomach they're going to try to push this to Thanksgiving week and I mentally can't. It's just the Mr and I but still I want the house cleaned up if nothing else and that's not going to happen if we have people traipsing around here.
Hopefully I can get the other two coats of paint on the vanity today before I need to start working on the medicine cabinet door which I'm terrified of tackling. I've got ONE shot to get it right and if I don't, I'll have flushed $50.
No pressure. 😬

Another weekend in the trenches. Tha vanity is going to look really good so I hope it's all worth it in the end. We just gotta hang in there a bit longer.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed at your made followup skills with the docs! Sounds like you are on your way on the painting. I had a quiet sleepy weekend. Spent yesterday cooking for the week so I don't eat crap.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
I'm sorry it was a rough weekend. I'd be overwhelmed too with the pressure to get as much done as possible, hoping the shower comes in like now, feeling the loss of mom deeply throughout all of this, and then having to deal with that dang vein clinic! It IS a lot to deal with all at once. If you need to talk I'm here.❤
ReplyDeleteWeekend was very productive Friday and Saturday for both of us. The downside is one of my knees is paying the price badly. I live with chronic pain and for the most part do okay, but flare ups and twisty sprains make for much pain. I have the stuff I need to help stabilize it so it's time to pull that out again. I like the time change too! This was always my favorite time of year to walk to the school bus when it was dark in the mornings. 🍂🍁
