Slightly boggled
Mar. 30th, 2012 12:01 pmby the novelty of exchange mods having to be hunted down, as opposed to the usual pattern of mods having to hunt down authors...
*shrugs*
I'm obviously not the only one, so I'll be dedicating the weekend to rewriting my LMHG fic, and if I get a longer extension, there shall also be polishing.
Problem is, I've got 10.000 words which induce nothing but intense disgust. So I'll have to rewrite, and while it'll be shorter, it's almost certainly going to be better.
Health-wise I'm also boggled, even though the boggled-ness is gradually diminishing.
I went to the brilliant orthopaedist again on Wednesday, for continuation of my treatment. She does all kinds of therapy, among others also the energetic stuff based on chakras. While I wouldn't actually build my life on all this aura-related stuff, I think that there's a lot of truth in the physiological aspect of the chakra theory. So I don't have any reservations at all to a doctor working with it. What I do object strongly to, though, is the doctor not telling me what to expect after this kind of treatment.
Firstly, I shouldn't have returned to work afterwards but gone home -- even though I don't have a lot of work to do, I'd have been a lot better off resting on the couch. As things were, I went back to the Embassy and spent the rest of the working day in a haze of exhaustion, or maybe total lack of energy would be the better expression. I was almost unable to move. Plans to go to the gym after work were of course abandoned.
Once home, I felt marginally better, but got next to no sleep due, in part, to three nasty asthma attacks during the night and morning. Feeling of energy depletion persisted, and on top of that I felt horribly depressed.
So I called in sick -- no way I could've gone to work -- scraped together what little energy I had and started researching chakras in general and the solarplexus chakra in particular. Apart from a lot of tripe, I found out that there may be symptoms of depression, energy depletion and sleeplessness if there's a problem with this chakra. (And even if you think it's all bullshit, you'll still have to admit that somebody poking around in your solarplexus will probably not go unnoticed by the body)
I just wish she'd warned me, and I'm certainly going to tell her that next week.
On the plus side, today I'm feeling like new.
And researching that chakra business has certainly made me realize that I have to seriously look into my handling of the ambassador situation -- this particular chakra is, among others, associated with self-assurance, feeling of one's own worth and positioning oneself in the various areas of one's life. It would be rather silly of me to deny that I've taken a serious blow in the professional area, and that I need to come to terms with it, I mean really, deep down and honestly.
So the experience was certainly a useful one.
Blood test for the thyroid was done today, results look ok if a little on the low side. Janine's going to take the results to our shared family doctor the next time she goes to see him; if anything has to be done, I'd rather he did the prescription.
Bloody stupid bastards took down the balloons yesterday, and today it's raining, so no tennis. I've taken my running shoes as well, though, so I can go to the gym. And then home, to enjoy the begining of the weekend!
