beansideDay 1 of Augmentin, and I'm already hitting the antacids. It's going to be a long 10 days. It'll totally be worth it if it gets rid of the symptoms, though. I'm really sick of feeling vaguely shitty and having face pressure and dizziness.
Had a rough night last night mentally. Dad was feeling dizzy and a little unsteady, and it drove my anxiety through the roof. My jerkbrain had me convinced that it was going to be catastrophic and the beginning of the end, and that both our vacations were never going to happen.
Truth be told, it's possible. I don't know what shape Dad's going to be in by the time we go. Hell, my sister's hip is constantly hurting, and she limps most days, so I don't know what shape she'll be in by then. No matter how much I say that we're going no matter what, it may not be possible.
I just want one week in a bubble where I don't have to worry about my life, but I don't know if that can happen. I looked at respite care, where dad could be in an assisted care facility for a week, but I'm not sure that's fair. I'm still going to book it. It's refundable up to 30 days away, so that's something. I just really want this to work. I feel like we deserve a break. I just don't know if we're going to get it.
I did make the executive decision that if we're going to do this, we're going to do it right, so I called and priced out the Polynesian resort for 7 days. It's expensive as balls, but counterpoint, I want it. It's another monorail hotel, and it has better theming and dining options. Plus, it's just cooler. The monorail will get us to the Magic Kingdom (2 days) and Epcot (1 day). We'll have to use the bus for our one day in Animal Kingdom and our one day in Hollywood Studios, but that's not too bad. We'll have one extra day that we can use either as a resort day or as a repeat day for something we really enjoyed. We'll see how we're feeling. The hotel is going to eat up fully half the budget, but I think it might be worth it.
In more mundane news, we have a team meeting today, ugh. So that's something to look forward to? I'm assuming that it's mostly going to be about our upcoming equipment swap, which is next Thursday. Gotta say, I'm not really looking forward to breaking down my current set up. It's going to be a giant pain in the ass. Then, I get the joy of carrying my shit in, which is even more fun.
Okay, tis time for me to start getting myself in gear. Have a good Thursday!
