i'm back at work. (YAY ME!)

i'm glad i got up and out- must say yesterday was HORRID fibro-wise (must have been the rain?) and i didn't know if i'd have the intestinal fortitude to get to work, but I DID IT!

now... i sit here and try to remember WHY??!?!?!!?!?!?

oh yeah, it's the paycheck!

i get to work at 8. my supervisor gave me a snotty "hello" at about 8:05 and then hasn't spoken to me since. when she announced at 11:25 that she was leaving for a half a day (and wouldn't be back for the rest of the week!), i had to ask her co-supervisor (my former best friend) "um.... what am i supposed to be working on?"

they're so mad that i was home sick during this last training thing they can hardly see straight! oh well.... i'm sorry my chronic illness messed up their lives!

you know what, though, i'm in a great mood (aside from the boredom and the job and coworker loathing!). why? 'cause i'm up and moving around! i got an appointment for Friday with a physical therapist, so that's good progress (if my doctor gets the papers done in time, that is!). i am achy and really painful (PS: i think the nausea is from the pain, believe it or not!), but i'm not going to let it stop me. at least i'm sleeping, right!?

that was my promise to myself..... "as soon as you start getting some sleep, you're going to get up and do your whole life thing, whether you like it or not!" i told myself!

i'm determined to get as active as i can with this dumb fibro so i can get a life! and whatever i can't do, i can't do (even if it inconveniences my boss!). and darn-it, i'm going to do as much as i can!!!!!!!!! (and rest as much as possible- don't worry, LS, i'm being positive but not over-board!)

i am off to go type my resume all pretty-like (again) and send it off to a few companies. wish me luck!

oh, and PS: i'm sorry i can't do big replies like i used to do for everyone! the sentiment is always the same, but i just can't do all the typing i used to--- it really wears me out physically. i'm still rooting and cheering for you all, though!
