I can't believe we're on the first day of the last month of the year. Where did all the time go? It seems like it wasn't that long ago we were just celebrating 2010 and now 2011 is knocking at the door.
Yesterday was a really quiet day for Al and I. He stayed home again from work, though he's going back today. He took me to my doctor appointment, where I was pronounced healthy, though I still have both bipolar and diabetes, but my numbers are fantastic and everyone is happy. After the appointment with my regular MD, I went upstairs to make an appointment with podiatry to have my toenails clipped, and then down one floor to the lab to have blood drawn so they can test me to make sure the sweats and chills I've been suffering is because the dreaded menopause is starting. I thought, because they left my ovaries in place, I might get over on the menopause thing, but no such luck. Doc is pretty sure that's what's causing everything, but he's having the blood test run just to be certain.
The naval hospital is closing, possibly within the next two weeks. They've opened a new health care center at the VA, and that's where all my doctors will be, once they make the move there. The bad thing is, not only do they not know what their new phone numbers will be, they also do not know in which building anyone will be or anything else. I'm not looking forward to having to deal with all that crap the next time I go to the doctor, and that is sooner, rather than later. My podiatry appointment is scheduled for the 20th. I'm going to make Al go with me, until I learn my way around the VA buildings because I have no idea where I'm going and that gets my anxiety up full force.
We made a quick stop at the NEX on the way home, but after that, we were in for the day. A had work to do for his job, his self-evaluation, so he worked on that while I played around on the laptop. I tried to get a nap in the afternoon because I'd been awake since 3:00am, but Jericho was laying on me and when Shiloh tried to get up on me as well, Jericho jumped up, scratched my tummy, and woke me up. Maybe I got 45 minutes of sleep, so I guess that really was a nap in the truest sense of the word.
Even though Al and I didn't talk much yesterday, it was still nice to know he was here. There's a sort of comfort in being with another person, even if you're both quiet and non-talkative. He worked most of the night, first on his evaluation, then on doing some surveys, which he does to make extra money. It helps that he got his new Mac last week and can now resume doing them again. Some of them are points based and whether or not you actually win something or get money is dependent on if you win a sweepstakes where you have allocated some of your points to go. I rather think it's a crock, but whatever. If he wants to do it, more power to him.
It's going to suck to have him go back to work today. I could really get used to having him around. Maybe it's just because I'm so damn lonely when no one is here but me, but I like to think it's because I enjoy my husband's company, even in the silence.
At any rate, it was a wonderful two extra days with him, despite him controling the television and putting me even further behind on my soaps. LOL
I have no idea what I'm going to do with my time today. Watch television, play my games, maybe read a little... more of the same old same old.
