SUNDAY SCRIBBLES

My weeks are full right now. I don’t know if that’s a good thing (distraction) or a bad one (stress). This coming week alone is a lot, though it’s not what I would call crazy: Mon: blood draw at healthcare clinic in the early AM, work all day, AIC board handover meeting & dinner Tue: Drip dose 4 in the morning, work rest of the day, meet kids at Costco for shopping, then dinner, then home with Karin and Essie Wed: early morning psychologist appointment, work rest of the day Thu: AIC lunch, work all day Fri: DAY OFF, no...

IF YOU’RE HAPPY/SAD/WHATEVER, WRITE A POST

When you have things to do, maybe chores, or you are faced with a bunch of choices at once, which things do you do first? Do you choose to get the stuff you DON’T like doing out of the way first? Or do you do the things you LIKE doing before tackling the rest? And why? I tend to get the stuff I don’t like out of the way and leave the stuff I DO like for last, like a treat, almost. If I take my medicine, I get something sweet as a reward, as it were. I’ve noticed that...

END OF THE WEEKEND

I want to write about other things than my stupid hair, but it keeps overshadowing everything about my day, my week, my every waking minute. UGH. So boring. I have a hair appointment scheduled (since ages ago) this coming Friday, but figure I’ll probably cancel it even if I can see roots growing out and the silvery-grey showing for what hair I do have left, in front especially, as it seems pointless to bother coloring it if it’s just going to fall out. The rain let up after this morning and the sun came out for several hours. Everything dried...

SLUG START, ACCOMPLISHED AFTERNOON, UNEVENTFUL EVENING

A major storm has swept in over Sweden and down here in Skåne we’ve been having high winds and a total downpour all day. It’s supposed to continue through tomorrow as well, so I’m quite glad that a) we have no plans that require leaving the house and b) I have an excellent excuse to be a slug all morning, which is what I did today, after falling back asleep at some point around 6 and sleeping all the way to 8:22 am! Highly unusual these days. I stayed in bed and read and played iPad games and such for...

IT’S JUST HAIR

Right now I am mostly sad, on the verge of depressed. On Tuesday, I finally had the appointment at the skin department of the hospital and the doctor examined me, took my history, and then took a biopsy from my scalp. The results will take up to two weeks (it’s been a week tomorrow) and hopefully it will show if any of the medicine I am on is the cause for the massive hair loss. Then the nurse put a huge bandage on my head and I had to walk back across the entire hospital complex to my car looking...

IS IT HAIR-BERNATION TIME YET?

I had great plans to write a LOT, if not every day, then as often as possible, this year. And I was doing pretty well, really, until all the health issues came crashing down on my head and took my hair with them. At this point, my hair is mostly hairspray and wishing. And if one more person starts to say something about how my hair looks just fine, I will punch them in the throat. Today, I woke up at 6:30 am and couldn’t get back to sleep but since I had gotten up 4 times in the night...

UGH GAH SOB

Haven’t been in the mood for writing. Too upset about all the physical health issues that are going on right now. I’ve lost nearly half my hair and huge amounts continue to come out daily. I finally got a letter TODAY (2 weeks after I flagged the issue for my doctor and 4 weeks after I noticed the problem) to set up an appointment with the skin doctor, but of course got it too late to call today. :/ In addition to the hair loss which is causing me to have a meltdown at least once a day, I also...

WHY TIME FLIES

Life got a bit crazy this past week, and I haven’t felt like writing. Monday last week was a terrible day with one thing after another going wrong and all kinds of stress all the way until 5 pm when I picked up Lisel after a horrific dentist visit (just a cleaning, but AUGH), and we drove to Costco where we zoomed in and out to buy party platters, and then went to an AIC mingle in Malmö, on the loveliest evening of the summer. I’ll back up a bit though. Monday morning, I had to be in at the...

THE GOOD THINGS IN LIFE

I’ve been so busy all this past week out and about, and right now, Saturday afternoon, I’m only busy with my own home-chore-based to-do list, and one of the items on it is write a blog post! I wanted to write about some of the things I did this week so I have them down for remembering and posterity, as my brain can’t be trusted to come up with details about things in the past once we get to the future. Not because I’m experiencing any sort of memory loss, just that in general, I find it’s better to write...

ALL OVER THE PLACE

Perhaps the secret to a good night’s sleep these days is staying up until 1 in the morning. At least that way I only get up once more in the middle of the night and am apparently able to fall asleep again quite quickly, even if my brain starts waking. That’s what we did last night because we were at a double-birthday party in Malmö and didn’t get home until after 1 am. I had a really nice time, which surprised me, because I wasn’t really looking forward to going, and I spent quite a lot of the evening talking...
