A crazy day in my life....

Jan 19, 2012

and again with the cold shower!  It started out OK, got Bob and the boys out the door and then went back to sleep, since I had no morning obligations.  Somehow, sleeping during the day is sooooo nice, I love the luxurious feeling of being under the covers when the rest of the family is off at work and school.  The dogs like it too, they are champion nappers.

After ten I got a call inviting me to a second interview at Fluortek, a plastics company nearby.   I interviewed with this company once in 2011 and never got a call back, so now I'm wondering why they are calling me now, and what's up?  I gather up my interview duds and head to the shower only to find..... wait for it......NO Hot Water Again!!! Holy Cow it's way below freezing outside and there's no way I'm taking a cold shower again today.  NO WAY!

One hour, two phone calls to Bob and three trips downstairs to the hot water heater and I still have no hot water. I do, however have an aching back and screaming knees, so I just give up on hot water for today.   I finally resign myself to a shower-free day.  The interview will have to ride on the effectiveness of my deodorant!  OK, so put on the dress clothes, comb the hair brush the teeth, put on jewelry and minimal makeup and I'm out the door.  The interview goes fine, I get the tour of the factory and best of all it looks like I'll have an offer coming soon.  I'll be temporary for 3 months and then get hired on permanent, if all goes well.  Now I just hope they have good health insurance and all my troubles will be over!

When the interview was over I had about 45 minutes for lunch and then a scheduled appointment with my gastroenterologist.  Picked up a yummy salad from Chik Fil A (love that place) and proceeded to spill it into my lap.  Used choice language and then ate what was left.  Had five minutes left before my appointment, but I guess Dr. was running late because I was in there waiting for what felt like forever.  I think I'm going to start billing all my providers for the time spent waiting.  A phone call saying that the Dr. is running late isn't too much to ask, is it?

I finally saw his PA and then the Dr.  He wants to take a look and see how things are going in my esophagus and stomach.  I told him of the theory of bile reflux gastritis and he looked doubtful, but we'll see.  Getting an endoscopy in a week, so we'll know better then what shape the old tummy is really in.

Meanwhile this is a HUNGRY afternoon!  I ate only a banana before my interview, and was starving by the time I ate my salad at 230.  Now I am ravenous and can't seem to feel full.  Consequence of not eating breakfast, I suppose.  Got a butternut squash in the oven and I have no idea what else we are having for din dins.  I am just worn out from the aggravation of my day, and too tired to drag myself to the kitchen and cook.  Dinner fairies, where are you?
