LOOSING A CLIENT

Yup, I am going to be loosing a client.  I have been with this client for over 1.5 years.  Overall it has been a good experience.  It is time to leave.  My contract is expiring in a month and I will not be renewing it.  I am not sure if they would want me to but if they did I would not.  It is time to leave and I always know when it is time to go and when I stay longer it never ends well.  It is sort of like a sitcom.  You need to know the sweet spot of when to end the show; before no one is watching but not while the fans still want to see more.

I am feeling a bit better.  I didn't go out today and stayed in my pajamas all day.  I worked and tried to eat some bland food.  I am still on the antibiotics and anti-nausea meds.  I am a bit afraid to eat food.  So I am sticking to rice, bread, broth, apple sauce, bananas and tea. 

Until tomorrow...

EATING SOLID BUT BLAND FOOD

The anti-nausea medicine is working.  I took some last night and two today.  I have not felt nauseous today despite not eating much food.  I think the antibiotics are working.  Last night I slept really good.  I have three days of antibiotics to take.

The only thing that is not getting better and I have emailed my doctor, is my throat.  I think the curry burned my throat very bad.  Everything hurts my throat when I swallow.  I tried to eat rice and it felt like glass going down.  I am going to try broth tonight. 

I went to my ob/gyn today.  It was my first time with this doctor since my doctor moved to a rural area to work with low-income and undocumented people who need health care.  My new doctor was super nice and we got along great.  I convinced her to keep me on the medicine I have been on despite my age.  I do not want to change medicine.  I said what difference is one year?  She said she would not take me off the medicine I liked.  She is sending me for a newer BRCA panel.  I got a BRCA test many years ago when it came out.  I was targeted for the test since my mom had breast cancer twice.  Now that more people in my family have had it, she wants me to have this panel.  I have to schedule it soon. 

Until tomorrow...

SICK AGAIN

I made soup yesterday and ate it at about 7 pm.  About 3 hours later I felt horrible.  By 11 pm I was seeing the Curry Soup again.  I was vomiting it all up.  It was a replay of two weeks ago. The only difference is that curry burns like heck when it reappears.  I had tears in my eyes.

Oh, I got very little sleep last night as the food left my body.  I can't imagine what is happening.

I had to be at my clients office at 8:45am because I was the one letting a new employee in the office the first time.  At 6am I woke up and snoozed again until 6:30am.  Poor Happi peed on the floor multiple times during the night since I could not take her out between running for the bathroom.  I cleaned up the floor and little by little got my self together.  I took a cab to the client's office and did the meeting and then came home and fell asleep.

I called the gut doctor and she was out this week.  So I called my primary and he said he thinks I picked up a bacteria during my trip.  It is unusual for the bacteria to make a reappearance two weeks later but, as we know, if it is going to happen to someone it is me.  So I start a round of antibiotics as soon as the pharmacy gets them ready.  He also gave me some antinausea meds just in case.  I am to stick to bland foods for now so I am back to eating rice and saltines.

I was supposed to take my Orencia tomorrow but now I have to skip that for a week until I get off the antibiotics.

I finally got the meds at 8:30pm.  The pharmacy has 1/2 their employees out with a cold/flu.  I hope they work.  I need a good nights sleep.

Until tomorrow...

MADE SOME SOUP

I made some lovely Curry Butternut Squash, Kale, Quinoa Soup.  It was delicious.  I ate it while on the phone with my dad getting the latest family updates. 

Today was a lazy day.  I took the dog for a walk and went food shopping.

Until tomorrow...

NO ROOF FIXTURE

This morning I was supposed to get a small leak in my roof fixed. I called to remind the roofer and he  sounded awful. He has the cold that is going around. The roof is going to have to wait until later this coming week to get fixed.  The leak is the seal around a pipe on the roof. The seal got old and cracked. It just needs a patch.

Until tomorrow...

HAIRCUT

I got my haircut today.  After my haircut I went and got Thai food. Last night I had Thai food but not the Thai food I wanted so today I got the food I wanted. It was really good.

Until tomorrow...

MOVIE NIGHT

Today I called my roofer. Before I went to Sedona I noticed that there is a leak in the ceiling in my guest room. It was an old leak but it was still a leak. It had not rained in a long time so it was dried. My roofer came over and checked it out. He said the seam around a vent had dried out and it needed patching but my roof looked great. He said he would come later that week and fix it. I did not need to be home.

Well, he didn’t come and then I was away and then sick and then catching up. Today I called and he said he would come over on Saturday. The weather report didn’t have rain so no worries. Then it rained. Of course it rained. It hasn’t rained in months. Today it rained.

Tonight was movie night. My friends S and B came over and we got Thai food. We hung out and watched a movie. We chose an older movie Blue Jasmine. It was an interesting movie to watch for movie night. I didn’t know it was a Woody Allen movie. I am not a fan of his work or him personally but this movie was not like some of his other work. It left us with a lot to discuss afterword.

Until tomorrow...

SUCCESS

After days of trying to get Disney+ I am now one of the million subscribers of the Disney+.  Tonight I tried one more time and to my surprise, I got through.  I don't mean to criticize Disney but whoever designed the directions to sign up for the platform really needed to do some quality control before launch.  There are very few directions and you get weird messages.  I got an email saying I was signed up.  I was ready to start watching.  Then I got another email stating I changed my account.  I never changed my account.  So I have no idea what is going on.  The Live Chat function had a wait time of over 30 minutes.  I figure if something goes wrong I will find out sometime in the future and deal with it then.  The rush will thin out once the free 7 day trial is over.

I feel like I should win a prize or something.  I guess getting Disney+ is the prize but I feel like I should get more.

Until tomorrow...

DISNEY+

I tried to get Disney+ today.  You would think I was trying to get Hamilton or Madonna tickets!  The website was down and then it was just the twirly wheel.  I guess Bob Iger didn't plan for the overwhelming desire for Disney+.  With all the promotion Disney did, he should have known.  This morning, Good Morning America spent the whole two hours talking about Disney+. 

I assume some day I will get Disney+.

Until tomorrow...

SOUP AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Today I made an awesome soup.  Cannelini Bean, Carrot and Kale Soup.  I made it before but this time I made a little change and it tastes better.  I switched out the jalapenos and added some hot sauce instead.  I added just a few shakes and it added just the right amount of punch.

I want to wish my niece a happy 8th birthday.  We had a conversation for a few minutes today but then she "had to go".  I am not sure what an 8 year old has to rush off and do but she had to go.

Until tomorrow...
