Another Quickie?!

I went in to work this morning, but I didn't stay. I was feeling so sick, that I decided to go ahead and see the doctor. She scolded me for not taking better care of myself, especially my thyroid.

"Your thyroid controls everything, she said. Everything is out of whack. Your blood pressure is up. Your cholesterol is up. You are a time bomb waiting to happen. You are heading straight to a stroke."

I don't know if she was trying to scare me into making better choices in my diet, but I didn't blink an eye at her words. It surprised me that my cholesterol was up because it has always been low. About my blood pressure, well, I can feel that, especially with all the stress I am going through right now. The headaches have been really bad. 

She asked me what I do for a living. For some reason, people always assume that women have someone to take care of them so they do not have to work. I think that is funny that women would rather be dependant on someone else instead of standing on their own two feet. I guess that is because in this area, women would rather be dominated by a macho man than lift a hand to work. I know I would rather work than to be dominated by a man like that.

It took me almost two hours at the pharmacy to get my medication, and the doctor gave me the wrong prescription for my thyroid. Now that's funny. She didn't even bother to ensure that she had the right dosage. So going to the doctor and getting my medications took all day. When I came home, I took the meds and slept.

I hadn't finished the Student Recognition certificates, so I sat down this evening to cut them out one by one. It is so much work to get them done, especially now that I have 103 students, but I finished them. I just need to add a date.

The week went by so fast and I havent had an opportunity to work on the paperwork. I submitted the ROPES proposal to the principal this morning. I hope she will say yes.

  Win =.)
