Murphy's been at it
What a grumbly day - from the moment I got up from a bad dream, and had only 45 minutes to get 2+ glasses of water down me (no food or other liquids) and get out the door to go have the 2-hour pet scan done. Hubby was in a dour mood from not sleeping well, the dog was misbehaving, and my muscles are still sore and achy - another chemo side effect. I nearly fell asleep on the scan table.
We got back late for hubby to leave for work, so he'll have to make up the time another day. And I bled through the thick wadding they put on my arm from the IV for injecting the contrast. 1 test out of the way, 2 more to go.
Then I get an email that part of my yarn order from the 23rd wasn't sent, as was offered and to which I agreed. And the 2nd of 2 emails saying that yet another agent wanted to show our house this Saturday. The one weekend we can't have people traipsing through our house is the one weekend they all want to do it - not to mention our house is currently off the market - what's up with that?
And don't they know people are getting ready for Christmas. I mean REALLY - I have cookie preparations all over the kitchen, gifts and boxes all over my work room, and holiday lights for the windows being worked on. And I haven't the energy or inclination to find places to put it all away somewhere, only so I can drag it all out after 1/2 an hour. I shoulda just stayed in bed.
