I Would Rather Be At Home

I am working in the office. I think I mentioned that once or twice (or 50) times today. I would much rather be working from home. I miss Jen. I miss my new desk (I am working in a conference room with two staff members. It’s fine, but my desk is mine… and new… and mine). I miss my cats, even though they generally sleep their way through the work day.

The office isn’t so bad, but home is better.

(Not Even Close to) Daily Haiku for You #108

For 19 years I have worked at a company who gives a xmas gift to all staff members during the week before xmas. The gift is essentially xmas dinner. They offer a choice of turkey, ham, lasagna, or dessert pies. There are kosher and veggie versions available too. It’s a nice touch. Today is this year’s gift distribution day. It is also the basis for today’s haiku for you.

Holiday Gift Day.
No turkey for me this year.
I went with the ham.

Tuesday Morning Commute

Views from a Tuesday morning commute, Hipstamatic style…

Sorry… we had a nasty storm yesterday, and I just thought the sky looked kinda cool in the aftermath. You can carry on with your regularly scheduled ‘net browsing now. Pardon the interruption. 

Grocery Store

Daily writing prompt
List your top 5 grocery store items.

A grocery store top five… well, pre-gastric bypass it would have been the three food groups: Chocolate, chips, and ice cream. Today? Post-gastric bypass? It’s a little different.

  • Boneless chicken breasts
  • Purdue chicken patties
  • Sugar free pudding
  • Ortega frozen french fries
  • Protein bars

As the Disney movie song says, it’s a whole new world.

One Wacky Day

As weird, crazy, wacky days go… that was one.

My stomach was in and out of gastric bypass weirdness all day, including a legitimate yacking during dinner. Fun.

As mentioned in a prior post, I was also exhausted all day. I had six uninterrupted hours of sleep last night, but the way I felt through the day you’d think I was awake the whole night. Of course it’s 10:00pm now and I’m not tired at all. I’m just sitting up in bed watching Deep Space Nine ( my binge watch reached season five today) and wondering if I’ll be tired enough to sleep sometime soon.

Tomorrow is this week’s in-the-office day. The company is giving out the annual holiday gift. This year I passed on the turkey and went with the ham. When will we eat it? No clue. I offered it up to my sister and her husband for Xmas dinner but I think they are passing on it.

I have a doctor’s appointment on Thursday morning. It’s my 1.5 year check in with my gastric bypass surgeon. I’m compiling a list of questions. Today’s wacky-weirdness will lead to a few, I’m sure.

Until then… get some sleep, Trekkie-nerd-boy.

Am I Sick, Tired, or Sick and Tired?

I’ve felt off all day today. I mentioned in a post not long ago that I am having occasional weird episodes that feel exactly like what my type one diabetic step son says low blood sugar episodes feel like. Today is different though.

I can’t tell if I feel like I am having low blood sugar moments, or if I am just really, really tired, or… somehow both? I had a decent night’s sleep last night, but not great. The previous two days have been better than most over the last couple of months, but still not great. Good sleep is an issue for me, no doubt.

Today though… is the fuzzy head feeling due to low blood sugar, or am I just really tired. I can’t tell. That’s why I think it might be a little of both. Every time it starts ramping up I have something to eat, but it doesn’t go away the way it usually does. Does the blood sugar problem go away and leave the exhaustion behind?

Does this post make any sense at all? I can’t tell because I am too tired to proof read. I’ll check this one over in a day or two and laugh at how bad it is. 

Until then…
