Ok, so... yeah. Life sucks right now.
The microsoft thing? I would have gotten the job, except that somebody internal applied for the position after I interviewed and of course, they got it since internal people get priority. I WOULD have had it though, they had contacted Kelley and said they had picked me, and then changed their minds. Grrrr. At least they said they would recommend me for other ones.
The adventure in the ER? The doc thinks that it was possibly a Gallbladder attack. (A vicious one, at that.) Had ultrasound to determine if there are stones, and the preliminary images didn't show anything. They have me on a NONfat diet-- and I end up feeling better with it for the most part-- but it's EXTREMELY hard to find more than a few things to eat that aren't fruit/veggies that are totally fat free. And honestly, I get tired of the exact same 10 things over and over-- the only thing I haven't gotten bored with is frosted flakes. (I know, bad for me, but not like I can have much ELSE that's bad for me now anyways) I'm getting tired of being nauseous after eating all the time, and when I try to sneak fat? Yeah. PAIN. The flipside of it is that is that in my inability to have ANY, I'm not getting any of the *good* fats. Which, if I have to sustain this for long periods of time, could be not a good thing. Cause even if one usually gets too much of the bad ones, one does need a small amount to stay healthy. Not to mention as the days go on, the more nauseous I get, and stay. No matter WHAT food I eat. I force myself to eat, because one can't survive without food at all, but I do spend the most of the rest of my day wondering about if it's going to come back up. I don't take the vertigo medicine because it makes me sleepy and then I can't do anything at all. So I just try to do things like normal, but it doesn't always work so well. I do, however, have an appointment with a gastroenterologist on Thursday.
Mom broke her arm/wrist just over 2 weeks ago at work. (Yes, the day before the grad party) Because L&I and other various people are fucking STUPID, she still doesn't have a REAL CAST on it yet. I think she finally got an appointment for this Wed. She is her usual stubborn self, and doesn't like when people help. I put my foot down when she was going to mow the lawn. One handed. Yeah. riiiiggghhhttt. *headdesk* I find it is just best to do things, or help her when she asks. Otherwise she gets upset about things.
Having much success with the plants in the yard and my random garden experiment. The peas have pods on them already, despite being about 6 inches tall. I built them and the green beans a climbing structure with string yesterday. It looks kinda ghetto, but hopefully they will take to it well and go with it. The carrots are starting to perk up well, and the pumpkin is amazing. The zucchini is already starting to blossom, but strangely enough, the plants are real compact. Am rather confused about that. The walla wallas are out of control... dunno what i am going to do with them... the lavender plants out front are monstrous. Anybody want some lavender? SO not kidding. We have insanely more flowers than we know what to do with. I might even be willing to mail some, depending. (Yes, I've got THAT much) Also planted new rows of mezclun, carrots and tranferred some walla wallas from pots to the ground. I tried experimental thai basil. We'll see.
Working on the trip to LA-- the piccys are NOT being cooperative.
