home stretch

making my things i love thursday list was a bit of a push this week. i came down with a very painful sore throat over the weekend, took a day off to drag myself to the doctor on monday and then worked three long (and ridiculously busy) days. including a couple difficult customers and situations. not "new" at work anymore, but there is still so much i have/need to learn.

normally i'm off on thursdays, but i went in today to cover for someone on vacation. at least that will make up for my lost hours (and money) from monday. but my sore throat has turned into an annoying head cold. i have to blow my nose about every 30 minutes and my voice is raspy, which makes singing at work a little hard, but, i'm about to finish off my round of antibiotics and at least the razors in my throat are gone.

i have to go to the doctor again tomorrow to get the results of my blood work. for the sake of not having to deal with more doctors and hospitals and clinics, i hope there's nothing wrong. though, at the same time, i do kind of hope there's some explanation and possible solution for my chronic sore throats and maybe even my recent tiredness.

then i work again on saturday. but, fabulous news: a new girl started at work and she'll be coming on saturday, which means i MIGHT be able to take more than my usual 10 minute lunch. saturdays are crazy. thank god monday is a holiday and i can get a full "weekend" soon. we're on the home stretch to sunday!
