beansideIT's finally Friday! Time for the weekly bitch session at work, aka the Manager's Meeting. What bitching and moaning will today be about? I'm very soon to find out.
The other III's and I are really courtesy adds. We're a step removed from actually having to deal with manager backend bullshit. Me, though, I love getting the deets. It does not look like I'm going to be in the Cardiac MRIs at Columbia meeting, which is kind of annoying. I was hoping to elucidate the difficulties that we're currently having, which is that the templates limited diagnoses are making it difficult to schedule the new June protocols. Which, since June is next week, is kind of a problem.
I'm hoping that meeting is in the morning, and I can derail the bitchfest enough to get the detais.
And of course, I'm waiting to see how much Mounjaro will fuck with me today. I actually slept, so maybe I won't have the exhaustion that hits around 3pm. That's usually when I start getting dizzy, and nauseous. It can vary from just queasy, but I'll have dinner all the way down to "Going to bed, no food for me." Last night was a bit rough with the nauea. IT didn't help that we ordered from a really bad Chinese restaurant. I ordred soup and egg foo young, as well as some scallops. It all should have been good. They had a 4.7 rating out of 5 stars!
It was horrible. Of everything we'd ordered, only Jess liked theirs enough to save it. I ate three bad scallops and gave up. I had a bite of egg foo young, even though I was going to save it til today, and no bueno. It was just all around not good. I gave the restaurant a 2 star rating, which I never do.
I said that after that, I was definitely ordering game snacks for tonight from NiHao. I will have some good Chinese food, dammit. Even if my stomach isn't great, I will eat some peking duck and some shrimp dumplings and soup dumplings. The strong flavors overwhelm the nausea while I'm eating.
My sister actually didn't like her entree, which is unusual, and ordered kebabs for the family. They were very good, even though I only had 1 piece of chicken and saved the rest for breakfast.
In other related disappointing news, BJ's Wholesale Club cancelled my order at the last minute, so I have no eggs, which have been my normal stomach-tolerated food. I'm putting in a Costco order today, but that won't be here til at least 11am, so no eggs this morning for me. Hopefully the chicken is okay.
I have been procrastinating in making the steaks that are in the fridge. I think I need to move them over to the freezer for the moment. I'll probably make game snacks dinner tonight. I always overbuy and we have way too much food. Most of the reason is the nausea. It doesn't sound good at all to be cooking beef. In a few days I'll be making more dog food, and that's torture. It stinks so badly! But he'se eating it, and losing weight and seems happy with his food, so that's good.
So I might freeze them for a few days. Sunday might not be bad, since it'll be exactly a week since the last Mounjaro dose. I can always stab myself after dinner. So that might be the day for both Yoda's food in the morning and a steak dinner that evening. I also have some frozen aallibut portions that I want to cook. I just have to decide what to do with them. I could bake them, or fry them or bread them and make fish and chips. More work, but tasty as fuck. Or I could try to replicate the fried halibut bowl I had in Ketchikan's Alaska Fish House. That was seriously delicious.
We got our phote prints back from vacation. They look very nice. I was just testing to see how things looked in print instead of on my phone. This afternoon, the big canvas shows up. I'm a little worried that it's going to seem grainy. When I tried to do one on Big Canvas, it told me the resolution would be bad. Google didn't tell me anything of the such, so we'll see if they're better, or if they just don't care.
With feeling kind of crappy so much, I've not been doing much. If I walk to the mailbox, it's an achievement. If I'm going to have this for the next 8 weeks, I need to toughen up. I can't keep ordering food. Some nights I just feel so nauseous, though. It makes it difficult when you're afraid that your sense of smell will make you gag.
I've been doing my Disney research as a thing to make myself feel better, but at the same time, I am making myself ambivalent about all our trips for the next 6 months. We've got so many overnighters coming up, culminating in our Chicago trip for CONfab, which I am also dubious about. I'm only in TTRPG fandom, so a lot of the panels are lost on me. I'll go to a few, but mostly, I'll be found having coffee. I want to see all my people. As far as I know, a good chunk of them from the OG server are coming, and three from the Marchen campaign will also be present, so that'll be good. I'll probably run a one shot on Friday night, which will be cool.
I'm just waffling about it because it seems much less fun than Disneyland, San Diego and San Francisco and another cruise all at once. Aspoisontaster said, I will have a lot of fun when I get there, I've just been hyperfocusing, which is an ADHD thing. It's my special interest, what can I say?
I counted, and I will have 10 pay periods before confab. Which means that I should have 70 houea of PTO before CONfab. I only need 32 hours. I'll be off Wed-Mon, so not that long. Wednesday, we'll settle in and relax, maybe have lunch with other early-commers. Thursday is outing day. I need to see if the server peeps are interested in having lunch somewhere. The Ukranian tea room was pretty delicious last year, so maybe we could have that again. Or somewhere else. Chicago is lousy with good restaurants.
I will have 38 pay periods before the cruise next year, which will give me 25 days of PTO, once you subtract CONfab. I only need 11, so I'm thinking we should plan a weekender sometime. I don't know where we should go, but we should do something, maybe in the early spring? No clue where we should go. Somewhere either within 3-4 hours driving distance or a 2 hour plane ride. There's so many options! We could leave on Thursday and come back Monday or something. Just a little vacation, as a treat. I'm trying to think of possible destinations. That leaves a lot of possibilties. Boston, Niagra Falls, Toronto, Chicago, or via driving there's Western MD, Philadelphia, Rehoboth Beach. If the mounjaro actually does give me weight loss (it's doing it's best on that front) than maybe a theme park. There's Hershey Park or Busch Gardens within driving distance. Right now, I don't think I could fit on any rides that I'd care to do, but maybe in 9 months, I could do that. I know that in Busch in the spring they have a food and wine festival, and in April, Hershey has a spring preview.
Things to think upon. So far, this year of saying yes has worked out pretty damn well, so I may extend it into next year and continue to have some fun.
So many things are happening this year. There's movies and concerts, and broadway musicals and shows, and even a symphony. And that's not including the broadway show in April or the cruise! It's a busy schedule!
Hmm, looks like August is free. Going to have to come up with something to do then. Maybe a weekend getaway to Philly.
Tomorrow, I've got a massage in the morning and then we shall have Marchen. As that's finishing, we'll be on puppy sitting duty, as my sister is going to a birthday party. Maybe Greek Festival on Sunday, we'll see how we feel and how parking is. I may get up and say fuck it.
Okay, time to get myself together and make a couple of confab posts. Everyone have an excellent Friday!
