WTF? Is this, like, winter or something? Dayum! It's been in the 20's and snowing just about every day this week. I've had to pack on the under armor and even dig the electric blanket out! It's an outrage, I tell you! lol!
Today I finally broke down and went to the doc for my cortisone shot. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. He sprayed some numbing stuff on my leg before he put the needle in so I didn't really feel anything. Well, except for the cold when the stuff went in. That feels so weird - not a sting really but more like really cold and tingly.
He said it would take about a day or so before it would start to feel better but that's ok. After two months of this crap, what's one more day? Yeah.
The bad news is no skating, no pilates and no yoga for a week. :-( Bogus. Swimming and walking is ok, tho, which is good. I wouldn't be able to sit still for a week not doing ANYTHING.
Now I can get back to sitting on the floor cross-legged without staggering around for 10 minutes when I get up. Yay!
Been painting the place for a while. Almost finished with the hallway. I am hand-painting the walls to give an impression of the Italian villas I love so much. It's rather neat - some grotesques and fleur-de-lis and a couple of sphinx over the doors - looks very "different" and it reminds me of long ago.
I wanted to start taking the wallpaper down in the kitchen but I haven't managed to get around to that yet. I've spent a lot of time working on the hallway (trying to figure out what to put WHERE and then making the actual designs to transfer to the wall is very, very time consuming. Then I have to paint it once it's drawn.)
I'd also like to paint the living room but I will need a ladder and some time off work to do that. It is quite a project.
And this week I haven't wanted to do much of anything but sleep. I guess it must be the cold weather. Makes me want to hibernate.
So mostly all I've been doing is yoga and reading and going to bed early. I usually wake up in a couple of hours because either my back or my hip would be stiff. Several nights I slept on the couch so I can "wedge" myself between the seat and the back. That feels good.
Work is a pain in the ass, of course. Everyone is screaming and bawling because there is nobody to do what "they" want. So they are being told "no" and that's like the end of the world. Most of them are trying "end arounds" but they are getting smacked down from that angle as well. You'd think they'd learn but no.
And this is even after the big speech the big wig gave about "just say no" to things when you're overloaded. Well, we can say "no" until we're blue in the face but nobody pays a damned bit of attention. They always think THEIR shit is more important than anything else and try to weasel it onto current projects or strong arm somebody into doing it.
Just TRY and give me shit, bitches! I'd go right up to this biggest of the big wigs and ask him point blank "did you or did you not tell me to start saying no to projects when I'm overloaded? I think you need to re-educate some of your managers what the word "no" really means."
Don't think for a minute I wouldn't. What's he going to do, fire me? Please. I'd just draw unemployment and run off to the Bahamas until it got warm enough to return and find another job.
I'm still applying for other jobs but all I seem to get back is spam. Ugh! But that's ok. I'm sure I'll find something soon. And if I don't find something I have a feeling that the sea hag isn't going to be tormenting me much longer. For a number of reasons. One of which her "protector" is no longer here and I have heard grumblings from other departments regarding HER poor job performance.
You know it's bad if other departments are complaining. The worst thing about this job is the shitty management and their inability to say "no" or back you up when you say "no".
She is just lazy and hasn't the faintest clue as to what's going on. And doesn't WANT to know. Useless.
But I have my cortisone shot so I should be able to sit on the floor and skate and lay on my side here in a few days. Ah! That will be very nice! And once my hip gets better, it will take the pressure off my lower back! Yay for paingoesaway! Yay for makeallbetter!
