Different headache, different day

NOT another migraine, thank goodness.

It's a sinus thing... came down with a cold starting on Friday afternoon.

Of course.

So I spent the weekend running a low fever and resting a bit.
Read a book.
Played with my computer.
Did some laundry.

9.5 hours until I have to go to work as I write this.
Two more full weeks... 8 days at my regular site and 2 at summer site helping set up.

After that, I'm off work until surgery. I asked to be. I need to get ready.

Monday morning is my appointment with the surgeon to sign off on the shoulder. Now I am not signing something that says I'm completely healed, however. I'm just signing a paper releasing him as the primary care provider at this time so we can get started with the knee.
Get a surgery date, do the new MRI... blah blah.

I will tell him about my aggravation and confusion after our last appointment and I'm hoping he'll listen.

I'm not holding my breath, but I at least have to try.

Eric and I did our weekly date on Sunday afternoon.

I have always had a hard time with general busy-ness and crowds. (always... this is not a new thing, although the past, hmm, eight months or so have taken it to a whole new level. ::sigh::)

I'm not sure how to describe it adequately, but I seem to pick up on people's moods and emotions. I feel battered and confused when there are too many people around me and not enough room to maneuver.

Add the layer of noise in a crowded store from the PA system as well as the layer of scent* that so many people are wearing, and I just end up completely overwhelmed and in a horrible mood by the time we're done and heading home. And after we get home, I need time to decompress. It's not easy for me to deal with all that stuff... silly as it sounds.

*I believe the predominant scent on this particular Sunday afternoon was Eau de Urinal Cake.
Bleah.

And we did our weekly shopping and I was fine. Not upset. Not nervous. Not angry. Not... anything.

Sad that I need medication to help me with that, but I'm glad it's starting to work.

I do feel better.

Well, except for the gallons of snot I'm blowing into boxcars of tissues...

And the damn rain.

Oh... and forgot when posting this last night, today is MY day at the LOL blog... go over and act like you know me, willya?
