when i was recovering at home, my bff haley suggested that i read the sookie stackhouse books. i didn't have much else to do but sit around & wait to feel better, so i did. and let me tell you my friends, i love them. not just a little love them, i mean love love them. they are so good. my small town library only had book 1, so i was practically fit to be tied when i finished the first one & had to wait for the 2nd one. i decided to buy them from amazon - good decision.
so then i decided that since hbo was nice enough to make a series based on the books, that i should watch them too. i love them. love love them. i even had to up my netflix subscription so i could get more than 1 disc at a time to support my new obsession. thankfully, my cousin has the complete first 2 seasons on dvd. i had to borrow them. i'm sure i will eventually buy them too. and i'm strongly considering upping my dish network package so i can have hbo. seriously.

i have completed my first week back at work. it is good to be with other people. and i'm not lying or just saying that. it was actually good to be back at work. i missed all of my peeps. especially my bestie. i was nervous at first. but frankly, my job is like riding a bike. i missed over a month & it's like i never left. i came home very tired every night. but i made it through each day.
i went to the doctor this morning. i had to reaffirm that i am not nuts. i still don't feel great, but it is probably going to be a while before i feel great. the doctor suspects the blood clots are still in my lungs. eventually, my body will absorb them. until that time comes, i will probably continue to feel like crap. but hey, feeling like crap is better than the alternative. i need to exercise my lungs. deep breaths & walking are what the doctor ordered.
my pro-time came back low, so i had to increase my coumadin. not exactly what i wanted to do, but i will do what is necessary to prevent another clot. so i have my fingers crossed this increase will do the trick to level me back out. the past 2 weeks i have had to increase my dosage. i was also tested for anemia & something else, they both came back normal. i'm relieved.
i have been using my handicapped parking pass at work only. truth be told, i feel guilty using it. and i feel like people are looking at me thinking why does she have that, there are actually handicapped people who need that space. before all of this, i did that same thing. the moral of this story is, you cannot judge a book by it's cover. this has taught me that you truly never know what is going on with someone else. i am learning through all of this. i truly believe the purpose of this is to teach me patience. i heard once that if you pray for patience, God will give you a situation to help you learn patience.
i'm so grateful for everyone who has had me in their thoughts & prayers. although i still don't feel great, i do feel so much better than i did when this all began. i'm learning to adjust to how i feel physically.

it's nearing 11:00 at night, and i am completely exhausted. rachel has woke up crying twice since i laid her down to sleep. i hope this isn't a pre-view of what is to come when i actually get settled into bed. if that is what i am up against tonight, i am hoping against hope that the girls actually sleep in tomorrow. i probably won't get lucky in that respect. so i better turn in for the night.
