You Know You Suck When…

17 Jan

…your favorite teacher takes the time to write you an e-mail critiquing your paper and telling you its obvious you didn’t work up to your potential and she’s pretty disappointed. Um, no duh? What am I supposed to say to that? I didn’t give her my accommodation sheet since there wasn’t blind grading and it was an essay-only class so extra time wouldn’t have been possible. Glad to know I let yet another person down. Bummer.

On the plus side, I did get complimented at work this week, the one place where I am managing to give every spare bit of energy I’ve got because I care, I love it and I know I need it. Somehow there is just nothing left for home, school or anything else. Sigh… :(

 
 

Pain

17 Jan

I’ve been having a week of progressively worsening pain in my arms and legs, which totally sucks because I am taking all the DAMN medication (and makes me think there may be something to my neurologist’s repeated insistence that, on top of the neuropathy and taking the IBS into account, I may have fibromyalgia). Crapola. Painkillers and other medication really don’t work on that, hence the full-body ouchies. I know, whine, whine, whine. I wanted to stay in bed this morning but I got up and took the car to the mechanics. Apparently replacing the O2 sensor didn’t work and now the Catalytic Converter is coming up broken in the engine codes. I came home, played a game with Pumpkinhead as promised and then took a nap while he and his friend watched the SpongeBob Movie at the end of my bed. I only got up because Pumpkinhead wanted lunch and now I am back in bed trying to get up the motivation to take a shower and get moving. I want to stay in bed and sleep away the pain. But that won’t really work so I’m going to get up, eventually, take a shower and head off to this guy’s house for a single parent/child dinner and bible study over on the other side of town. It’s sponsored by the church where I’m taking the Rebuilders class and hopefully Pumpkinhead and I will both have fun. Then we’re probably going to go over to Blue Eyes’ house and hang out there since I haven’t seen him all week and this may be our only chance since he’s getting up at the ass crack of dawn for a fishing bachelor’s party for one of his friends. Hope you all have a good weekend.
