llcoolvad | Alive again!

For the first time in a month I finally have a little energy! It's been so long since I had the energy to do anything at all. This last week has been tough because I was taking Cipro for my pneumonia and the side effects were very draining — they included extreme dizziness, mild anxiety, and very bad leg cramps. I hate Cipro now. Hate.

Anyway, I finished with it on Sunday, so I woke up today feeling pretty good. Managed to get the kitchen cleaned up, my room cleaned up, grocery shopping done, recycleables brought to the city yard, and now I am hammering out loads of laundry. Feels good to be mildly productive. It's been so long since I could do more than the bare minimum.

I just went through my Kindle and realized that I've read a bunch of books that I haven't reviewed yet at

greenstreetbks, so that might be next on my agenda. Then I need to clean the bathroom top to bottom. Then I need to update some lists and figure out what's next. So many things to do! I want to get the house under control before my surgery next month (whenever they schedule it for). And I just got added to a team at work that's going to require a lot of attention for the next few months, so it's busy everywhere.

I am kinda sad because I only have 11 days left of time off for the year. I hate using it up being sick. If one week is devoted to post-surgery recuperation, that just leaves me one week for fun! Feh. I know, I know, most people get 2 weeks total per year. I should be grateful. But I really really wanted to go a few places this summer. And now I probably can't. Sigh!

But anyway, it feels good to be alive again!
