And somehow we’re back to Monday, all over again. Ew. I feel like I lost most of my weekend to being sick, which is annoying. Worse yet, I spread it, and now Jess is sick too. They spent yesterday nauseous as hell, and ended up dropping out mid-game. So far, it's just been the nausea, but we'll see how it progresses. We have ginger ale! I feel horrible that I gave them my ick, while at the same time I'm kind of grateful, because it means that it's probably not the Mounjaro that caused my distress. I'm going to take the Mounjaro shot today and hope for the best. If it makes me nauseous, that just means that it's not coming to Alaska. I can take Rybelsus for 10 days if need be. By pushing it to Monday from Sunday, it means that I would only need to take 1 shot. (I'll still take two just in case of trip delays.)
On the other hand, I'm feeling mostly better, though still not 100%. Mostly now, I'm just a little more tired and my back is still tender from all the upchucking. I apparently came within inches of throwing my back out, judging by how sore it was Sat night into Sunday. It's improving as well.
Yesterday at noon, we took the puppy in for his longer boarding before the big one. He'll be there 5 days, and his humans are already lonely as fuck. I know it's important that he get accustomed, but it's hard on his parents, too. He's in one of their penthouse suites, which is a small room with a doggy bed and a four poster bed for his use. It's very nice and I hope he has a good time. The couple of times I've looked in, he was either in the bed, or laying by the door. It's an important step, but it sucks. I want my dog. But in 9 days, he's going to have to spend 12 days there, and I want him to be comfortable, and know that we're going to come back for him, even if 5he's there awhile. Still, it's very quiet in the house and I don't like it.
( More vacation babbling, cut to spare those who don't care about the minutia. )
Today shall doubtless be busy, and I'll be on the phone a lot. The new phone system has not been as bad as expected, though sometimes there's definitely some lag. I did what they suggested and am using an ethernet cable to connect, because they swear that wifi isn't sufficient for their precious systme, Which is a failure of their system if you ask me. They sent us new headsets, which I hate. They squeeze my ears more than the old one. As a result, I'm still using the old one, which works perfectly well.
Lots of shit going down at work, though. I know we're losing one person, and I think a couple of others are on thin ice, which will suck, because it takes a couple of months to train a person to do our job, so even if they hire people right away, (which they won't. Hopkins is slow.) we'll be short for a while.
My friend starts on May 11th. Right when I'm out of town, so I'll make sure to ask my other friend to send her a welcome message. And I'll send one before I leave as well. She's already set up on Teams and email.
Hoping Jess feels a little better today. I know they felt miserable last night.
I have my psych appt this evening, which will be a nothing burger. I'm stable on the meds I'm on now, so that should be a 5 minute appt if that. I suppose in honor of that, I'll actually put clothes on. I've been working the last few days while I was sick in a nightgown.
I need to call today to get our disposal looked at. A shot glass fell down there, and I didn't realize it, so I turned the disposal on, and now it's not working. Figure it's a good idea if they come while Yoda is out of the house, so as to make life easy. Hopefully, it's an easy fix and I didn't bork the whole thing.
Tomorrow, I shall make Yoda more food, maybe. I don't want my entire weekend to be cooking. But if I need to, I shall. But I'm hoping to cook a couple of times this week, and then once on the weekend to get enough food to keep him fed for his vacation. I will probably have to order more meat, as I think I'm down to ground meat which doesn't work as well for him. The chicken liver and Lamb seemed to be good for him, the liver kind of went powdery, and it made a really nice stew-type. The others have been a little less wet. He doesn't seem to have a preference, as long as it's stinky.
Mostly I expect the next 10 days to drag unmercifully. Especially the Wednesday before we leave. Work is going to be SO annoying that day. I could be repacking, or getting last minute stuff! I think I've got everything I need except hand sanitizer, but you never know. I have a suitcase, a carry on and a personal item full of things I might need, but it's better to over prepare.
And on that note, I'm going to hop off and get myself together. Gotta work to keep Yoda in the manner he's accustomed, with his homemade food and penthouse suite. Everyone have a fantastic Monday!
