I'm so incredibly tired. I probably pushed myself too fast trying to get back to walking to work after being sick for so many days. (Yes, I WAS out of work all of last week, besides Monday. It looks horrible on my time sheet, but at least I had almost 130 hours of sick time before all that happened, so it's not like I'm hurting. Supposedly I could be out for two more weeks and still get paid. :)) This Monday I walked to work, and I was pretty tired - not like today, though. Still, I decided to take it easy, Tuesday, and only walked halfway, to a co-worker's house, and got her and her husband to give me a ride from there. Which meant some kid time with her little red-headed son, who's three and loves trains and will cheerfully talk your ear off. :)
Today there's some other factors besides just walking, I suppose. I wore the wrong shoes for the walk; I had people observing me at work who made me nervous; because they were observing me I didn't feel comfortable to walk around as much and ended up just standing a lot more than usual, and I got news that I'm going to have a more formal assessment very soon. My future job functions might change. Anxiety! I have enough problems with anxiety as it is, why do they do these things to me? Tired as I am, I might not be able to sleep.
Let me think about something else, now. I met a playful cat on my walk to work, Monday, who chewed up my hand. :) Maybe because I tasted good? Last week, while I was so sick, I also happened to have an appointment with the osteopath who's supposedly doing something magical with my hips, but has mainly given me nutritional advice. (Did I talk about him before? I hope so.) And because I was so sick and my resistance to influence was down I figured what the hell, I'd try a couple of his suggestions. Accordingly, I picked up cod liver oil capsules, among other things, at the health food store. That was Thursday that I began taking them, and about Saturday - yes, it was Saturday morning, while Eor and I were out shopping - I made my first discovery about cod liver oil capsules: Don't take them right after eating something else greasy, such as a big breakfast with corned beef hash. You'll be tasting fish all day. Not so pleasant.
Sunday I made my second discovery - my skin had begun to smell of fish. My first thought... well, okay, my first thought was 'Yuck! I smell like I'm from Rockland!' But my second thought was 'Cats will love me!'
Monday, I kid you not - as I was walking to work a random cat along side the road began throwing itself at my legs in adoration. It was so very sweet and affectionate, and somewhat scruffy, that I thought I might take it back to the house of a girl I know, which I had just walked by, and so (silly me) I picked it up. I know better, but the cat suckered me in. Then it began to maow on my hand - not bite as though it really wanted to hurt me, just sort of chew. So I set it down, and it rolled delightedly at my feet, showing me it's belly. :)
Anyway. Fish oil. Cats will love you.
