My car ended up staying overnight in the shop. My mechanic had to take me to work this morning and my friend Matt will pick me up after work today. I am supposed to get the car back late tonight, or first thing in the morning. If it's the morning it'll have to be at 7:00 a.m. because I have to be on the Ref Desk at 8!
I'm trying hard not to wig out over the car. What started out as a small repair has now ballooned up to several fairly expensive repairs. I trust my mechanic so I know he's not trying to cheat me. Also my friend Matt is an auto mechanic and he is confirming what my mechanic says. Sigh. So, I hope I'll at least have my car by tomorrow.
Health-wise, I'm struggling. My headaches have been more severe than usual. Piercing is the word that comes to mind. And that's with a 10mg Hydrocodone every 4 hours! I can barely hold my eyes open and forming coherent thought is pretty hard. I'm weeding some books from the collection and it's really difficult to look at those spreadsheets for very long.
In addition to the headaches, I had my Remicade infusion last Friday. They always draw blood and test a panel of things to be sure I'm OK. This time the B12 came back as low. This is the first time it's shown low since I started asking to have it tested. For those of you that don't know, my 87 year old Dad became bedridden about 4 years ago because of undiagnoised and untreated pernicious anemia (no B12). He could no longer absorb B12, even with shots. So, my Rheumatologist is concerned and told me to see my regular Dr about starting B12 shots on a regular basis. Sigh. I'm scared about this, and my anxiety is making it a lot worse.
So,as usual my blog is about how I have headaches and feel bad, and how I can't seem to handle any ordinary life events. I don't know why I write new entries, I should just repost the same one over and over.
God do I want ice cream and Oreos right now!

Seems like my blogs are all about how I can't handle ordinary life events too. We're in this together sweetie. ((((HUGS))))
