These past two weeks have been a horrible disaster!
First, I got really sick with an infection in my right hand and was on intraveneous antibiotics for three days. And when the IV finally came out, my hand gushed blood. I now have a small scar on the back of my hand where the IV site was.
To follow this up, my boyfriend's mother invited herself to stay at our apartment for a week. I haven't really liked this woman since I first met her and it stood to reason I wasn't gonna like her much now. But, she's Ian's mom...I wasn't going to say no...plus, I've been wanting my own mother to come and stay for a few days.
Well, talk about stress! All we did was fight! She called me names: specifically angry and fat. Then told Ian I had anger problems and needed professional help. This all from a woman who is on EIGHT kinds of prescription drugs, one of which is morphine.
So I am recovering from two weeks of hell. Bad sleep, no exercise, little to no food (I spent three days eating nothing but saltines and drinking gingerale because they were the only htings I wouldn't throw up!)
I start working back at the POW tomorrow, which means riding my bike every day for the next six days. And then I think I'll get Ian to come trail riding a week today. I think he's gonna need to unwind. Besides his mother, he's got job stress.
Hard to believe how much badness can be fall you in two weeks...and how badly it can affect all the other aspects of your life!
I was feeling better and feeling on track...and to get derailed so easily by an infection and stress...I've got to take better care of myself!
