Week in a nutshell!
Okay all get ready for a book! Now keep in mind that all of this has happened since last Saturday......
Saturday - Bought new living room furnature - I finally get my supportive recliner w/ microfiber!
Sunday - Went to my younger cousin's wedding! In case I forgot to mention, he's gay and in Massachusetts gay marriage is legal here. It was my first time going to a gay wedding and it was wonderful. Very sweet and tons of fun! Downside, only 13 people from my family went. It was shameful.
About 30 minutes after I got home, I get a phone call. My grandfather, on my mother's side (the mother I wasn't speaking to until this week), had a stroke. He was in the hospital until Wednesday and now is in the nursing home that my mother works in. Also found out his corotid arteries are 95% occluded (closed). They (my aunt, mother and docs) have to convince him to have surgery to clean it up.
Spoke to both my mother and younger sister for the first time in years during the week. It luckily went well. Things seem to be on an even keel with both of them. I told my sister about being dx'd with BP and apologized for the nasty things I did and said to her during my manic stage a few years back, which caused us to stop speaking.
Wednesday - Found out I have been hired on as an employee of the company that I am contracting with now. It will take effect later on this month. They want all of the benes to start before 11/1.
Friday - Furnature being delivered and because of the rain we have been dealing with here, we can't find a way to get the old furnature out! They don't remove the old furnature! ACK!
Okay I think that is it......it could have been a trigger week for me, but considering it all, I think I handled it pretty well so far.
I haven't skipped a day of work this week and am functioning at work okay. At home, I am just exhausted and have been going to bed early each night.
I just want this week to be over so I can rest.
