Countess D'If Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Holy shit, babe. I swear to god, 2017 is going to be the best year ever. 2 Quote My Blog | To-Read | @i_ate_the_bar | fitbit Link to comment
fleaball Posted October 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Got up late. Showered late. Roommate came home right as I was getting in the shower so I've spent the morning thinking I held her up somehow. Basically over it now because I'm too busy being miserable. Can't tell if I have a fever or if I'm just hot because it's hot out. There's an inhaler and a cough suppressant at the pharmacy but I can't get them til after work. It's gonna be a great day. Countess I hope you're right. Personally I'm afraid of 2017 trying to one-up last year and this year. 1 Quote Level 69 Battle Kitten Battle Log | Current Challenge MyFitnessPal | Fitbit | Duolingo Ici je vis la vie que j'ai choisie Je suis partie pour reconstruire ma vie C'est dit, c'est ainsi Link to comment
fleaball Posted October 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 I basically got kicked out of work. Asked if I could leave early and was met with hesitation but when I said "possible bronchitis" it immediately became "no. Please leave. Right now. Just go." Which, rude?? I understand no one wants germs but I've had this cough for weeks and literally been standing in your cubicle hacking up a lung and you haven't cared at all? Meh. At least I got to leave and pick up my medication. And then discover that I fail at inhalers. And the cough suppressant is going to make me drowsy. So much for using my extra time to do homework.

fleaball Posted October 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Ugh so that cough suppressant defintely makes me drowsy. It's been 7 hours or so since I took it, so of course now I'm wide awake. As opposed to being near comatose earlier. I'm going back to work tomorrow. I would love to take the day off but a - money and b - there is a shit ton of stuff happening. If my supervisor wants to flip her shit and tell me to go home I won't argue but meh. I'm still frowny-faced about the reaction I got earlier. I honestly thought she was kidding because she shoved her chair away from me into the far corner of her cubicle and held her scarf over her face and it was all so over the top. Whatever. I feel better with the medication I've got and I have another appointment at student health on Thursday just to be sure I'm good. I'll just be sure to chug orange juice and tea. I'm literally just babbling here while I wait for my phone to finish charging so I can go to bed. Don't mind me. 5 Quote Level 69 Battle Kitten Battle Log | Current Challenge MyFitnessPal | Fitbit | Duolingo Ici je vis la vie que j'ai choisie Je suis partie pour reconstruire ma vie C'est dit, c'est ainsi Link to comment

Hope you feel better soon! It makes me laugh. Like seriously man? I've been coughing up a lung for two days and now that you know I've seen the doctor, you are all worried I might infect you? That's not how this works. Just cover your mouth when you cough and wash your hands. It'll be fine. BTW, about the 5K? How about you set the pace? If you feel like running, run - if not, walk. Or we could have my husband set the pace, he's a nice pace jogger. But no matter what, get better before then! 5 Quote Sylvaa's BattleLog Sylvaa's Tracking Spreadsheet Link to comment

Yeah I've been very careful to cough into my shoulder or whatever and also bathe in Purell since they have it here. If I haven't gotten anyone sick yet I think they'll live. I thought you were just gonna wait for us at the finish line? lol bleh. It's gonna be a LOT of walking on my part, interspersed with shuffling like an old lady and calling it jogging. Y'all are free to run without me. 5 Quote Level 69 Battle Kitten Battle Log | Current Challenge MyFitnessPal | Fitbit | Duolingo Ici je vis la vie que j'ai choisie Je suis partie pour reconstruire ma vie C'est dit, c'est ainsi Link to comment

Just be careful with the Purell (FWIW, I hate hand sanitizers though). I had planned on sticking with you guys - we will see how the time goes. My husband has a hockey game that afternoon, so we can't make a day of it. I just feel kind of bad being like, okay, catch you all on the flip side! I have no problem walking either!

The half is in March. Boston is in April. I don't think I'm doing the half either though. Maybe the 5k they do with it. If I sign up for the half I'll be leaving myself the bare minimum training time (every plan I've googled is at least 20 weeks) and while I know I don't have to run the whole thing, that's still a recipe for failure. I'll do one eventually. 3 Quote Level 69 Battle Kitten Battle Log | Current Challenge MyFitnessPal | Fitbit | Duolingo Ici je vis la vie que j'ai choisie Je suis partie pour reconstruire ma vie C'est dit, c'est ainsi Link to comment
fleaball Posted October 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Hahaha fml. I've barely done anything all semester on my research assistantship because this professor just won't answer my emails NOR has she asked me for any of this stuff either. I've been getting paid every week regardless. But now I just got an email from the office in charge of paying us and apparently they're looking for time sheets now? Which is not a thing that happened last year and we were never told about. Whaaaat the fuck. Time to go hard at this. And hope that she actually responds to the email when I send her my timesheets, I guess? 3 Quote Level 69 Battle Kitten Battle Log | Current Challenge MyFitnessPal | Fitbit | Duolingo Ici je vis la vie que j'ai choisie Je suis partie pour reconstruire ma vie C'est dit, c'est ainsi Link to comment

fleaball Posted October 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Blarrrrrrrgh this week's topic in class is mental health and most of the time when people are talking I just want to yell NO YOU'RE WRONG STFU. Relatedly, my therapist said we can talk about whether I want to drop back to just seeing her every other week since I'm not a total disaster anymore. Whaaaaat. 3 hours ago, RES said: Hand sanitizers do way more harm than good IMHO Send them to both, them and her...shows them you're sending them and puts it on her to do her job and respond to them Yeah I don't usually use it. But also taking public transportation requires it sometimes. I emailed her first because I don't want other people seeing that I haven't done all the work I'm supposed to be doing. (She did say at the beginning that she doesn't care whether I do 10 hours every week like we're supposed to so long as the work gets done. The problem is that it's been 8 weeks so far and I haven't turned anything in yet.) If I don't get a response by the weekend I'll send a different email with the office copied on it and see what happens. 2 Quote Level 69 Battle Kitten Battle Log | Current Challenge MyFitnessPal | Fitbit | Duolingo Ici je vis la vie que j'ai choisie Je suis partie pour reconstruire ma vie C'est dit, c'est ainsi Link to comment

Looking on the bright side: I get a day off to recover physically and mentally. Catch up on sleep, catch up on homework, possibly catch up on TV shows. And just not deal with the general bullshit of my internship. 4 Quote Level 69 Battle Kitten Battle Log | Current Challenge MyFitnessPal | Fitbit | Duolingo Ici je vis la vie que j'ai choisie Je suis partie pour reconstruire ma vie C'est dit, c'est ainsi Link to comment
fleaball Posted October 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Research prof actually got back to me. And says she was "coincidentally" going to email me soon. Didn't have anything to say about being super late otherwise, so I guess I'm okay? One less thing to worry about. So my antibiotic says to take on an empty stomach, an hour before eating or 2-3 after. Don't they know I'm ALWAYS eating? Also super fun: the epic plague of 2015 started with being treated for strep. (Which I didn't have.) I might possibly be worried about a reaction to this medication now, or that it will interact with what I'm already taking for the cough. Which is largely unfounded but I guess I'm not as over it as I thought. Yay. 4 Quote Level 69 Battle Kitten Battle Log | Current Challenge MyFitnessPal | Fitbit | Duolingo Ici je vis la vie que j'ai choisie Je suis partie pour reconstruire ma vie C'est dit, c'est ainsi Link to comment
