I've been back at work all week. My bosses seem to have forgotten that I have an assistant - all of the assignments have been dumped on me. And any little projects that come up too - like updating vacation schedules and uploading software to the laptops, etc. It's like Mel's not even here (which, some days, I wonder about myself).

I'm sleeping a little better at night, but I'm still awake a lot of the night. I'm too scared to take a whole sleeping pill in case I can't wake up in the morning. (I start work at 7:45) Plus, because I can't put any pressure on my foot, I can't drive, so I have to leave with Thomas for work, at 7:00, I'm used to leaving at 7:25.

I'm utterly exhausted. Physically and mentally. I can't even focus anymore today. I think my brain melted around 1pm when Mel left for the day. She told me she was taking a half day off "afterall, you've just come back for 3 1/2 weeks off, I deserve it!" Um, lets see, 1 endoscope, 1 surgery, 1 ear infection, a bad reaction to the Fentonyl (sp?), couldn't sleep, and I worked from home!!!! Some freaking holiday! My desk looks like the leaning Tower of Pisa. The files are literally falling off. Plus, Mel leaves me her work to complete. And, being Friday, the owners (5 of 'em, all men) want everything tidied up for the weekend. I was even asked to work tomorrow to catch up on receivables - um, no. I'm not asking Thomas to drive me in to work on the weekend.

I booked a haircut tomorrow just so I can get a scalp massage!!! Pathetic, I know, but I felt I deserved it.

The good news is I haven't had an attack for a couple of weeks - I'm actually more C than the usual D lately! The hyno is working wonders!!

Anyways, I'm just venting. You all understand... And you don't pass judgement... I love you guys!!

Have a good weekend,

Cassandra
