Ewwwww- I spent Sunday sick and in bed!

I’m not sure if it was stress or Chinese food, but I was dizzy and nauseated all day Sunday. I spent a couple very uncomfortable hours in bed before Chris brought me some Dramamine and I passed out for 5 hours. Woke up, ate some dry cereal, showered, and then went back to bed.

This morning I feel just about fine, so I’m a little bothered by Sunday. No heavy drinking on Saturday night, no weird schedule deviations, nothing! Except the Chinese food…

It really annoys me being “out of commission” as I had things to do on Sunday! I did manage to get the vacuuming done early enough in the morning before the dizziness forced me off my feet but I had a ton of other stuff to get done. Hopefully I’m all better now, as passing out at work is generally frowned upon.

June update

So an embarrassingly long amount of time has passed between my last entry and today- I swear I have been meaning to post an update for about a month! A lot has been going on since April- I have now lost 35 pounds so I’ve got only another 20 or so to go before I reach my goal! I took a weekend a few weeks ago and went through all the clothes in the house- trying all of them on. Boxed up 3 big boxes of “too big” clothes and moved all the clothes that now fit me into the closet in our new bedroom. Now I’m showing up to work in clothes that no one has seen before. A coworker has coined this “shopping in my own closet” which I quite like. I’m trying very hard to walk in the evenings after dinner, though the last week that’s been almost impossible with the heat. Theoretically I could work out in other ways but I’m still being hit with the laziness factor…
Over at IMVU (3-D chat client similar to Second Life) I’ve started developing my own clothes. My current line is “Classic Companions” featuring outfits the Doctor Who Companions wore during the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s. I’ve got Ace’s outfit and Leela’s outfit finished. Not bad, even if I do say so myself. I’m learning a ton about Photoshop and digital artwork (as well as RL marketing and advertising). Quite different from the accounting work I do during the day so it’s quite a nice change.
As some people realize, the end of the fiscal year is a few weeks away. This, as usual, is a fairly stressful and busy time for me. I’ve been staying late at work on Fridays to stay caught up. I’ll be able to use the overtime hours I’ve earned later (when the system is unavailable in July) and relax. Lots of numbers all day long do wear me out.
Dad is taking his annual early hurricane evacuation trip up north to avoid all the joys of Florida during the summer. We had dinner last night at my favorite Asian restaurant (Chopstix- seriously, if you are near UF it is south on 13th street and you have to eat there). He’s doing well and seemed to be looking forward to the cooler escape and a season of chess tournaments.
Chris is doing fine health wise- a little antsy sometime but that’s the price he pays for marrying a high strung AR perfectionist (oh yeah, THAT’S me)…
Theoretically I’ll be posting more after the new fiscal year as my stress level decreases and I find more joy in the computer and the Internet in general.
