Allergies have been so bad that I have been taking an unbelievable list of allergy medications. I'm pretty much suppressing my entire immune system at this point. I am taking Primatene, Bendaryl, Claritin, Allegra, phenylephrine, Nasonex and saline nasal spray. Yet still having nasal drainage and coughing on occasion.
My gf and other people with existing respiratory problems have it even worse. She's had antibiotics, codeine cough syrup and steroids.
While she is sick, I will not get to see her and I haven't been able to discuss anything with her but her illness. Obviously she is really sick. They did a chest plus sinus xray, so glad she apparently doesn't have pneumonia. So far.
Worked yesterday. Learned virtually nothing. It's annoying that the medical staff sits around jacking their jaws about inane crap. Then if I ask a question regarding medical care, the location of equipment, etc, I have to ask multiple times to be heard. Maybe some of it is racism. They seem to ignore me on purpose. Two nurses went in the medication room yesterday and closed the door to gossip. Not saying it had anything to do with me. Meanwhile, I went through the supply room and found it is a horrendous mess. Guess I have one project laid out for myself after orientation. Get that organized. Not going to do it while in training because credit will go to someone else and I know it. I also have a few suggestions to make their training more efficient. Critical thinking is how I operate.
Since I will not be working on Fri, it is past time that I clean the carpets. Have not shampooed the carpet since moving in. It shows. Yuck.
Well, since I have nobody to talk with about much at work or off work, I have started talking to someone on a dating site. Just for discussion. She lives in AL but I have no idea what city. I really began the discussion on general topics (politics, human rights) but my profile does talk about BDSM and she diverted the discussion to that rather quickly. She's inexperienced and not sure but had a lot of questions. It has not gotten graphic, just general ethics and such like negotiation, consent, etc. I doubt that we will ever meet but at least it's some kind of discussion to kill time and drag my mind away from politics for a while.
I would love to have other things to fill my time. If social groups here were more reliable I'd be doing that. Maybe I can start taking some classes at some point if I can establish a somewhat stable schedule. I'd say online but I do need some kind of human interaction. This place is lonely. Nothing to do, nowhere to go that isn't redneck. Lots of places to eat but I can only eat so much. Have not felt up to going to the gym but may manage it tonight after work. Once again, even if I were in perfect health I can only tolerate the gym so much. I'm not a muscle head.
My writing is getting more attention it seems. Got published on another site without asking. It doesn't pay but expands my reach. Waiting to see if I make any money from it for May when payments come out first week of June. Not expecting much.
