Slightly Better Thursday

I had been scheduled for some mandatory work-related training, today, so I went to the office, today.  I had a fairly productive day at the office, for the most part.  But, I left an hour early, because I was feeling extremely tired by then.  I am so grateful to have an understanding supervisor and supportive colleagues.

I came home and slept!  I woke up at 6:45 p.m., when my daughter called to check on me (I usually call her when I come home, but today, I fell asleep without calling her).   Her call was well-timed because it was time to take my next dosage.  And then, I went back to sleep!  Slept till 8:30 when a friend called to check on me.  She was very apologetic when she found out that she woke me up, but I told her it was OK, I should get up and eat something, call daughter, do the litter box, etc.

I have lost my appetite as a result of the antibiotics, so, I haven't been following my meal plan.  I had some dry cereal in the morning for breakfast and ate a pear and drank an Ensure for lunch.  Dinner was a little of the salsa Spanish rice with some sliced chicken breast.  There's still some chicken breast and Spanish rice leftover for tomorrow's lunch; I might have some soup for dinner. 

I received a notice in the mail, today, reminding about the postal service's food drive; they had left a brown grocery sack in which to place the donations for pick up on Saturday.  I will go through my pantry cabinets for canned and boxed items to donate.  They have requested items such as canned meat and fish, peanut butter, soup, cereal, pasta, etc.  I know I have some pantry items I have bought on sale which I can donate.

How was your Thursday?  Did you have a good day?

  1. [Honour] Sorry to learn the antibiotic is causing such severe side effects. Good to take time off and sleep. I suggest you review side affects on-line and with your pharmacist. I think you should call doctor's office and have it noted on your chart, even see physician for an alternate RX

    Get Well soon!
