I eventually made it to work this morning. Rather late. Then learned I had a training meeting to attend. I was not late for that and for once I did not have any problem with attending training. I got to sit and listen, barely speaking.
As to the subject of the training, the jury is going to be out for a little while. Changes in pay structure. They say most people will see an increase in pay but in my case I am expecting a decrease. Have to wait and see. There's a bonus program but the first bonuses (for employees) will not be until January. I really suspect there is a different bonus program for some upper management people who came up with this idea, based on how much they will NOT be paying out.
Any way, I continued having respiratory problems all day. Not quite as bad but mild struggling for breath, occasional coughing, sore throat, dizziness. It was bad enough that I called the MD line after work and got a prescription for steroids. For the very first time in my life. Went and picked those up and started them.
Not much of an appetite tonight. You tend to not be very hungry when you can't breathe effectively. I'm sure all the medication I've been taking has not helped that particular situation. Just eating some potted meat because it's something I can digest easily.
Before I got the steroids, I took the dog for a walk this evening. Had not felt like it for the last few days. So, in spite of how I felt, took the dog for a walk and exposed myself to even more cottonwood pollen, which was blowing everywhere. So, did that make the dog happy? Hell, no. In fact, since I took him for a walk, he has been whining for even more attention than before. While walking him, I stopped several times, coughing so badly I was doubled over. Did he look concerned, come up paying attention to me? Nope, came up and tried to get me to pet him.
Yes, dogs are very loving creatures. Long as you count loving themselves.
The ex says daughter still has an earache. However, she has also been helping them to move, hauling boxes on a dolly up stairs all day. So she must be feeling better than she was. And showing how strong she is for a 12 year old girl. I do not have to worry about her being helpless! I do worry more about her not asking for help when she needs it but I think she is getting better about that. From what I can see. However, that is somewhat limited.
Going to get to bed shortly. Respiratory problems really wear you out.
