3 Wendy’s Sandwiches Picked Up for Dinner

2 New Supplements I’m Supposed to Start Taking

1 Unhappy Hip

I had my bloodwork follow up with my primary care physician today. The basic breakdown is that, to no one’s shock at all, I am still iron-deficient anemic. Also, my Vitamin D is super low. Not like, rickets low, but pretty damn bad.

6 Oreos Eaten

1 Bowl of Tater To Nachos Eaten for Dinner

I hate not having bookshelves. Hate, hate, hate it. I’m still living out of boxes and bags and it is grating on my nerves.

I went to the doctor yesterday and got diagnosed with “pretty bad bursitis” of my left hip. Pain meds, ice, heat, and rest have all been recommended and done.

I just want to not hurt.

Lucian made totchos for dinner this evening. Tater tot nachos. They were ridiculously good.

I’m going to go pass out.

Take your meds, folks.

1 Vexing Day

I taught Lucian how to use the Instant Pot this evening. They made an amazing coconut chicken and potato curry!

I have a doctor appointment in like, less than ten hours. Maybe it’ll be a good visit and some of my concerns will be addressed. Maybe the new doctor will be wonderful? Idk. I’m going to bed.

Take your meds, folks.

3 Types of Cheese Purchased at The Cheese Chalet

1 Really Bad Pain Day

Lician, Brian, and I went to Ehelnbach’s Cheese Chalet today and it was amazing! I mean, I was absolutely not fond of the ‘cheese fudge’. Cheese and milk chocolate is not a flavor combination that I enjoy. But! We did get an amazing applewood smoked butterkase cheese, a habanero jack cheese, and another that I can’t remember right now.

53 Minutes Spent Getting My Infusion

2 Classes to Juggle This 5-Week Semester

1 Ongoing Headache

I’m exhausted, in pain, and feel like I’m a walking bruise.

I really hope the infusion helps. The saline bag they gave me was cold. It hurt. The entire time. And yes, I said something about it three times.

I’m going to relax, try to rest.

Take your meds, folks.

3 Hours Studying Tonight

1 Italian Sub Sandwich for Dinner

I have gotten through all three of the chapters assigned for reading this week for class. I also did my discussion board post follow ups for the week. I still need to do my assignment and assessment. One is all multiple choice, another is essay questions, and I don’t remember which is which right now.

1 Clingy Kitty Boy

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.
