You’d think a 3-day weekend would, if not memorable, then at least relaxing. I know I would certainly would have. Alas, it was not to be, although it was still preferable to a short weekend in most ways.
December is the busiest month at work, so even taking a vacation I tried to keep an eye on what was going on and had to jump in a couple of times. Nicole was unimpressed, and understandably so, but “having a job” is important so one does what one does.
On Thursday, I had a remote meeting with my primary care doctor as the prescription for my heart meds had expired and this was the soonest they could see me. They re-jiggered the prescriptions, upping some of the dosages and adding some new wrinkles. I’m not certain exactly which of the changes caused the issue, but I had an unpleasant reaction on Friday night and it left me with a migraine all of Saturday and Sunday. This was a fairly common side-effect and not an emergency, but it did kind of take the wind out of my sails.
Not only will I be talking to my GP sooner than expected, but I get to meet my new dermo next week. I went in a couple of months ago to get that prescription renewed and, now that my dermatologist has retired, that prescription can no longer be filled. Huzzah! They’re an hour and a half away so that’ll be fun.
We had a scare with the cats (not sure which one), but I’ll spare you the gory details. All appears to be good on that front for now, but it made Sunday and Monday pretty nervy.
With all of that, was I still productive? Nah. I did approximately nothing that I planned to do. The headache made me bail on a chance to see my old boss, something I was looking forward to. Didn’t get the holiday cards done. Didn’t get the writing I’d planned to do done, although I did come up with the second melodic section for a song I’m working on and banged on it so hard I’m pretty sure it’s committed to memory now. It’s a nice little earworm, so we’ll call that a win.
So, that’s about it. This post is a bit crap too, which fits the weekend perfectly. Hope your weekend (and Monday) went a little better than mine.
