Reset

I feel better today. Yesterday, being both extremely tired and hungry, I went on a search for sustenance. The day before we had pizza brought in for lunch as a bit of a reward for working safely, and I'd decided at 10:30am that cold pizza would be a good midmorning snack. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any cold pizza. What I found was warmish pizza, three boxes full, that was left out on the table in the lunchroom.

The pizza and I stared at each other for a few minutes, trying decide if it was worthy of eating, and I thought, what the hel, if it doesn't taste good, I won't eat it. Of course, I eat fast and was already finishing one piece when I decided it wasn't. I waited, and for most of the day I felt alright. Until about suppertime last night. Then it felt like a bubbly cactus was rolling around in my guts. I went to sleep last night feeling like shit. Sonja suggested I rub ginger oil on my stomach, which I did and drank my usual peppermint tea, and by the time I finally passed out, I felt a little better.

I'm not the only one feeling not good these days. Barb is struggling with something that she's keeping to herself. She told me she didn't sleep at all last night. I hate feeling unable to help the people around me, especially those that are friends. I'm a bit of a do-gooder, I guess, and tend to go to great lengths to make sure people are ok. I guess I just wish I could do more.

On an unrelated note, tomorrow I go home again. After having last weekend off, I feel like I just got back, but it's nice to have the work week broke up like that. I haven't worked less that 10 consecutive days in almost two years. Usually my shifts are much, much longer. So, this weekend the plan is:
Get a new tattoo on friday. #5, When does it end? Heh.
Go to Edmonton to see AFI and friends with Diane, Justin, Joe and Roni, and probably a bunch of people they know.
Go to the zoo.
And of course, shopping.
