In Search of a Pick-Me-Up

I had a fairly decent weekend. We took the kids to the harbor for some fish ‘n chips and ice cream. Not at the same time of course and then on the way back hit some fresh produce stands for THE best strawberries ever. I mean, these strawberries would make you drool. I am still thinking about them and hoping that there are some left when I get home tonight.

Even though the weekend was pretty nice, I am still exhausted and about to fall asleep at my keyboard. I will talk to the doctor about this tomorrow at my regular appointment. I have read many books on Lupus and checked out a lot of information online, but I am still unable to get a handle on it. When you look normal on the outside.. people forget that you are not feeling that great and then expect too much from you. Heck, I expect too much from me and forget to rest and end up doing a bunch or chores or errands.

Anyway..since I am about to nod off. I will cut this short today and hope for a better day tomorrow.

Do I Have Stupid Written On My Forehead?

I am trying to resolve an issue here at work and this “person” ( I use the word loosely), continues to skate around the issue and talk down to me as if I don’t know what I am talking about. Don’t you love that? I know perfectly well what I am talking about and am “in the know” quite often and if I don’t have a clue what I am talking about I surely would not advertise it.

So we had a little, verbal altercation.. yeah, that’s what it was. I am not a “sit and bite my tongue” kind of gal. Those that know me will firmly agree. People that resort to talking down to people usually have a very low self esteem and that is what I believe in this case. I like to tilt my head from side to side while this other person is talking, to mimic the UTTER confusion that MUST be going through my mind as I am simply not bright enough to comprehend what is being said to me. Then, when least expected, I go off. I mean, OFF.

Now I am all crabby and that is what bothers me the most. I think a trip to REI is in order. For some reason that store always puts me in a good mood. I think it is the anticipation or expectation of going somewhere..anywhere to get away from this place. All the backpacks, the hiking maps.. makes me want to drop whatever I am doing and go on a walkabout.

One hour later..

Okay..so I went to REI and bought a new SIGG water bottle. You know.. “Go Green!”. Sometimes a small purchase perks you up. I feel perky now.
