As predicted, I managed the morning snow and slush to make it to the cancer doctor.
Everything checked out fine.
They did just about everything but pat me on the head and give me a lollipop, which is okay. The girl who checks me out – Samantha – knows the whole experience is pretty mind-wrecking for me.
Although, I wouldn’t mind a Dum Dum. I’ve gotten into a weird little habit of picking them up if there’s some offered at the pharmacy or doctor office. — Always go for the mystery flavor. You’ll never know what you’ll get, although you can sometimes tell if the color of the candy shows through the wrapper.
So, now I’m anxiously awaiting the call from my college’s mini-boss. I guess she’d be my direct supervisor, although she really doesn’t supervise anything – just nags every now and then.
No kidding. I feel pretty anxious about it. I don’t know if I’m anxious because I don’t know this person, I’m an adjunct, and my job hangs by a spider thread. I’m an — adjunct. — That means contracted. That means they can drop me like a hot potato any time they want and I don’t jump high enough.
Or, am I anxious because the increase in the mind-altering drugs hasn’t taken effect yet and I’m just anxious because I’m off my rocker.
Either way, I’m feeling a little anxious – have been all day. Been dreading this moment. Bleh.
Eighteen minutes till she calls. Yay.
I did tell her in an email that I have a sore throat, so maybe she won’t be on the phone for more than a couple of minutes — or — she could see me as a captive audience and I’ll have to listen to her for hours.
Seventeen minutes will tell.
Hopefully, she’ll just call early and I can just get this whole fracking thing over with.
Chill pill.
Chill pill.
I already know I’m going to have trouble sleeping tonight, so sleeping pill it is. For my information, the cancer doc said that it could also help with the hot flashes. Maybe I should be more consistent in taking them.
If I got a lot of energy tomorrow – and I’m pretty sure I will – off to the gym for me. I’m behind on Mob anyway. Much love for Mob. My brother suggested an anime that I haven’t watched at all, so maybe I’ll start that one. Forget what the name is.
Mom and Bill have Bible study tomorrow, so everything should be pretty quiet around here. I can stay out a bit more than just a couple of hours.
It’s supposed to be raining really bad over the next couple of days, but rather rain than snow. It’s actually supposed to be 50 this Saturday. It’s a little early in the year to be that high, but I’ll take it. There’s some sort of community day and the brother has it off. You can be sure that I’ll be chasing digital monsters again.
— You know, I really should get on Discord. Apparently, some of the local community missed me while I was away. Maybe I should say hi.
Four minutes.
I don’t think she’s going to call early at this point.
What else is going on….
Politics, I guess. There was a whole thing about Bernie raising nearly 6 million dollars for his 2020 campaign bid in around 24 hours. Good for Bernie. I really think Hillary robbed him of a fair chance at becoming president. Mind you, I wouldn’t vote for him, but I like for everyone to get a fair shake.
Fair is fair and he wasn’t treated right by the Democratic Party or the power that may be. The boy got ….
And, that’s over.
The meeting with the semi-boss ran about twenty minutes.
She talked really fast and giggled a lot. I’m guessing that she was kind of nervous talking to me, which is good. When people are nervous around me, I either try to put them at ease or figure out ways to take advantage – depending on the situation.
I played nice and she admitted that I was the first on her ‘team’ to call – which could attribute to her being nervous.
Whatever.
So, why did I semi-torture myself about this all day?
It’s silly and stupid and I this all the time.
And now that it’s over, I still have all this crazy energy I need to burn off.
Too bad I don’t have my bed buddy with me.
Course, he’d probably be busy or something, but still…
What a pain in the butt.
== I’m going to take a shower.
Peace –
