Spock is super clingy tonight. I’m not feeling super great; just another headache and general fatigue issue. I can’t wait for Friday’s appointment with the hematologist, even if I’m nervous. Despite my tattoos, I’m not fantastic with needles being used to inject stuff into me.
I always have trouble getting blood drawn when I go to give blood or do lab tests for my doctor. They can never find a damn vein in my left arm and I have like one good vein that has a tendency to roll in my right arm. The last time I was hospitalized, they had to butterfly my IV in through my hand because the nurse was having a bit trouble getting an IV in even with the vein ultrasound machine. Maybe I could get my iron levels back up high enough so I can donate blood again.
School is still going well. It’s a major source of dopamine for me. I’m glad I’m enjoying it but J also feel like my class might be too small? There’s like… maybe a half dozen other people in my class group. I haven’t really checked out the chatter channel discussion board. It is supposed to be a study group for the entire school that happens to be taking this class simultaneously. But most people don’t talk about their studies. Which, I guess, is fine, but I kind of wish people had an actual study group.
I’m sso tired. I am still taking a daily vitamin and I mbibing about 300 to 450 milligrams of caffeine a day. Of course, I stopped taking the caffeine pills. So I get my caffeine elsewhere, divided in a lopsided manner between the single Zero Sugar Mountain Dew I have, the B-vitamin rich water bottle flavor powder I drink, and any coffee or tea I enjoy throughout the day.
Anyway, I stayed up way, way too late last night studying and doing homework. I’m headed to bed. I’ve already appeased the Duolingo owl. And Spock has passed out as a little, warm, croissant in the small of my back.
Take your meds, folks!
