Let's see where to begin....New Year's Eve was nice.:) I worked until 6:30pm & then went home. The boys did end up staying at mom's & all were good. Jeff & I hung out, ate pizza, played a board game, watched a few episodes of The Vampire Diaries & watched the ball drop in Times Square. I enjoyed it.
I found out later that one of my friend's in Ireland...his wife passed away.:( They have a 9 year old boy I believe. She had been sick for awhile, but it's still sad.
I was able to get in to see my doctor (finally) on the 3rd. OK...my white cell count is still a bit high. The Eosinophils are a white blood cell that make up about 5% of all white blood cells...well mine is 18%. It could be I'm having an allergic reaction to something, it could be leukemia, it could be a parasitic infection. GROSS on the last one! She asked if I had been out of the country...which, of course, I haven't. I looked it up & people can have parasites for years & not know it. It could come from contaminated water, food, etc. OK people I hate bugs of all types. I didn't watch the TV show "Monsters Inside Me," because it's just sooo disgusting that I don't even like thinking about it. Now I may have a PARASITE???! You can imagine that I'm trying not to think about THAT. I have to do a few tests this week & then have another appt on the 17th. I hate having to wait that long. If it's NOT a parasite, then there will be MORE tests to figure out what's going on. A great way to start out the New Year....but I just want to find out what's going on, so hopefully I will feel better. I missed work again yesterday. Just feel like crap basically. I know that I will probably get in some trouble for that, but I Facebooked the personnel manager yesterday & asked about taking a leave of absence until I can find out what's going on with me & getting better. I'm supposed to work today & she wants me to come in & get the paperwork started. My doctor will have to fill out some papers. I don't know how long I will take off & the fact that I won't be getting that money is kinda making me panicky, but I feel that I need to do this for myself. For my health, both mental & physical. Plus it's not fair that I keep calling in & then them having to deal with not having an employee there that was scheduled to work. If I kept calling in, I would get fired. There are two kinds of leave. One I could keep working, but when I called in, it would be covered or just take a full leave of absence...which I plan on doing. After I feel better, after I get a vehicle, etc...then will decide what I'm doing from there.
My dad has been gone 13 years (on the 3rd). It sometimes seems that long & other times...not so much. I still miss him immensely.
The boys start school again today....including Phillip. He's going to go to the alternative high school. I think I mentioned that. Will see how that goes. Dave is going to take him this morning instead of him riding the bus with the other two. I think it's important for at least one of us to be there on his first day. I have to work...but may be able to go by there with them first, then Dave can just take me to work from there. I don't like relying on him for anything, because he thinks that I'm just going to give in to him & that's NOT going to happen. It's a bit of a long story.
Nobody answered the questions that I put out there...so that's depressing. Not sure why NOBODY answered, but whatever. It's all good.
