Still hanging in there, sort of
I keep meaning to update this, and I've either been too busy or too tired, or both.
Last week was family stress and medical stress. Naturally none of it's over yet. I went to the doctor for my physical, which was seriously hellish, and she ended up sending me for more blood work after totally freaking me out. I swear my arm had just recovered from the last blood draw, and then they went and used the same vein. At least it didn't turn quite as purple this time. This level is elevated and this one is too low, and I have no clue what it means. I think she's freaking out too much about the blood count, though- I've always been a little anemic, I don't eat enough, I don't eat red meat at all... and it's not even that bad! I was like "11 point what, really? that's good for me, 12.0 and I can donate blood!" And the blood bank always sends me away.
So I go back to see the doc in about three weeks to chat about the new round of labs. I also go to see the eye doctor for my annual exam around the same time, the big one with the dilating drops and all, and I go back to the dentist for my last temporary crown.
*facepalms*
I've had a full week off school, thanks to the holidays, and I've spent most of it running around with my insane relatives, wishing I could crawl home and go to bed. I think I have a flu I'm trying to fight off. Tired, achy, generally feel like crap... You know how it is.
We had the nicest thunderstorm yesterday. It hailed and rained so hard it sounded like an army was marching on the roof, flooded the alley yet again, drowned the front lawn, tossed the tree branches around a bit... and I realized I'd spent too long in northern California, where we got real storms, because I was like "that's all?" I wouldn't have wanted to be outside or driving in it, but it just didn't seem the same without the gale force winds and the power outage. Though I'm not saying I miss them, because I really don't.
Let's see, what else is going on? I have an art project due in two weeks that I have to draw stuff for (I don't draw), another Algebra test sooner than I'd like... and I'm still almost looking forward to school starting up again tomorrow, so I can get some rest from my crazy family.
Most of my friends are going through some tough times right now. I've been in similar situations, and I know there's not much I can do being so far away from everyone, but if you guys do need anything I can do, don't hesitate to ask, okay?
