Waking up is hard to do, but sleeping's impossible too..



I like Demetri Martin, he's funny. Find him on YouTube if you need a good laugh.

Still sick. Though my actual flu has been reduced to a bad case of the sniffles, I keep getting send home from work. It is no fun and very frustrating. It's not that I'm actually sick, I'm just not fit enough to work. I don't have the energy and when I've worked for about three hours I'm beat. My doctor blamed my cold for the headaches and told me that not sleeping without meds is still better than sleeping with them. I see my doc never had any sleeping problems *sigh*
But what can I do? So for the second day this week, I was send home from work and when I got home I just went straight to bed and slept through the afternoon. My headache is still there.
I hate the fact that I'm getting behind on my internship. If I could, I'd terminate it right now, quit college and start looking for a job that will be fun, will get me enough money to live and can keep me busy. Of course I know I can't without that little piece of paper college will give me.
I'm just tired of having to try so hard for everything.
Tomorrow I'm going to try and work from home. I have paperwork (reports) to make *bleh*
Maybe it will be better for me to stay home for a bit and only work on projects for a few hours. The way I feel now, I can't put in 100%, which they do expect from me when I'm at the office. Maybe I'll try making a new appointment with the doc. Who knows he might listen to me this time.

So yeah, sick and at home, which isn't good to start with. Now add to that the atmosphere at home and you got yourself a lethal cocktail.
I can't blame my parents for being tense and fighting a lot though.
See, my dad isn't sure if he's going to be able to keep his job. Turns out things aren't going well with the hotel he works at and now the company decided to sell it. They'll try to sell it as a working hotel, with all the staff included, but if it won't sell, everyone will be fired and the building and grounds will just be sold.
So stress still keeps adding up. We don't know anything yet, so every day we're a bit nervous when my dad gets home...

So yeah, life's not so great at the moment.

Also, as if my sleeping wasn't bad enough to begin with, I managed to watch Silent Hill on friday and haven't really been able to sleep well since.
That's my own fault really..

I like Demetri Martin, he appears on The Daily Show sometimes when they do certain segments about teens and twenty somethings. He's funny and very cute too.

Being sick for an extended time is NO FUN. Once you get that run down, it's hard to get back on your feet again. I think staying home and concentrating on school projects you can do from bed is the best idea.

I use sleep meds almost nightly. I take Ambien or Lunesta as well as my pain meds. They help me a great deal and I don't care if I get addicted, I just wanna sleep.

Not sure what to tell you in regards to the docs you have seen. I don't know what your medical system is like there. We have no govt medical programs here, it's all done thru personal insurance tha tyu must co-pay for. Most employers offer a couple diff plans you can sign up for and it is deducted from your paycheck. You still have a co-payment whenever you have an appt or get a prescription. The insurance companies can refuse coverage too. it's a big pain in the ass and a huge racket. We need healthcare reform badly in America.

Anyways, all I can say is keep trying until you find a doc you like and who can help you.

P.S. I finally figured out how to subscribe via RSS and now am subscribed to your blog. Woohoo, it's SO convenient, I get e-mailed your posts and can reply from my computer. :-) Cool huh?

Well hun, you take it easy and get better. I hope the package I sent arrives soon and will cheer you up.

Dont know what tell you about the doctor. He seems right though about the headaches. I had really bad ones with my flu too. Good idea at just resting and getting better. Sorry to hear about your dad and his job.It sucks that you seem to be in the middle of it all. I love that stuff you sent me. I will be sending a thank you note today.
