Orientation

Today was my first day at the hospital but not really my first day at work. It was a full day though. They had several speakers and we learned about the birth of the hospital through community efforts about 5 times. We read, completed, and signed a lot of paperwork. It was nice but long and my legs were so happy for any chance to get up and move around. Toward the end I was offered this chocolate brownie and ate it wondering if the nuts in it were walnuts. It didn't seem like they could be but they were very small pieces. Well not long after that I started getting a headache. At least it was at the end of the day and I could go home. The headache got WAY WORSE and I think it's safe to say that YEAH, THEY WERE WALNUTS! UGH. I am so stupid sometimes! Especially when it comes to chocolate!

Tomorrow Ry has an othodontist appointment at 8am and I have to be back at the hospital for computer training at 9am. I hope his appointment isn't long or I'll have to have Chris take him to school so I wont be late. I would have cancelled the appointment once I realized I had to be back at that time but being in orientation I didn't have a way to look up the number. I thought I had it in my phone but I couldn't find it. So, I have to go or I get charged a missed appointment fee and there is a chance they will refuse to make more appointments for us. That would suck because Jared is next in line for braces.

Whooh, What a day!

First of all I had this crazy nightmare that melded two of my worst weaknesses/issues together in the oddest way. Your mind is like a little brother sometimes - taunting, evil, and stupid all at the same time. Maybe I should cut out the midnight snack or something.

Well anyway, my first issue is that I'm allergic to cats. Well most cats. I went to a thrift type store the other day to see if they had a coffee table I could redo and I found these cool shirts that my oldest son would like. They looked new and were only $3 each. I bought him 3 of them. I remember feeling a little itchy there and I felt like I had something in my eye just before I left. The next morning I woke up with my eye all red and irritated. I finally got a fine dark hair out of my eye and it started to get better.

Next issue....well weakness...or both. I LOVE blue eyes. If I see someone with those awesome sky-blue eyes my knees buckle and I can't keep my head long enough to form a sentence. I think I should call a therapist. Yes, my husband has blue eyes and so did all the guys that I dated. I even had a dog with blue eyes. After a while I get used to it and act normal until the next set of blue eyes walk my way *sighs like I'm high*

So, this odd dream was about this CAT with blue eyes LOL Talk about mixed up. It kept following me everywhere I went...at the grocery store (where I was buying ice cream and frozen french fries LOL) and then in sears! It followed me home (I was walking) and then I felt bad for it and let it in my house. That's when I started the wild sneezing and turning red and bumpy but I couldn't run it off or even take my eyes off of this cat with the gorgeous blue eyes. Is that the most retarded thing you have ever heard????????????????? I think I've lost my mind.

Funny thing is, about 30 minutes before my alarm went off I rolled over to check the time and couldn't open my left eye and could barely open the other eye. My eyes were swollen shut! I think there had to be cat hair on those shirts and when I was doing laundry last night I handled them. It's a good thing I knew right where the benedryl was because I couldn't see anything. I took one and it knocked me out cold. I vaguely remember thinking about the kids needing to be woken up for school and then deciding that I needed their services for today. I woke up a couple hours later and fumbled into Jared's room to wake him up. He instantly came to my rescue like I knew he would. I barely explained what the problem was and he went and started the laundry. He is washing everything! Riley helped me a lot too by bringing me things or helping me when I couldn't see. Now it's about 3pm and I feel a lot better. The swelling has gone down and I can see. My eye is just a little scratchy feeling. I just wish I could quit feeling freaked out from that crazy dream I had!

I am going to go meet a friend at the literacy council's used book store (Forget me not used books) and see if I can't get my mind off of that!

Welcome
