Last night I died. Well, Lexi died. I was afraid like it was going t be dead dead like I died with Skylar, but A came in and cast revivify on me and I came back to life with one hit point, which is all I need. So whoohoo!

But yeah, when I died I started looking up new character ideas. I doubt that our GM would let them fly, but its always worth a shot, right? I’m not going to talk about my new character yet, because I don’t need one and I want to get the idea worked out a little bit more. We stopped playing around 11 and then I went to bed and read my book for a while before falling asleep.

I slept really heavy last night, I woke up groggy and could not shake the feeling off, dozing a few times. I talked with some friends for a bit, and my parents, before getting up and making some low FODMAP friendly French toast for brunch/lunch. I wasn’t half bad, just 4 ingredients and some gluten free bread for me, and some lovely soft pillowy bread for Fiks. I cooked his a little longer than I should have by accident. But he ate it so it couldn’t have been that bad.

I turned on Sherlock for a change of pace of TV shows and started working on this. I’ve got to go start a load of laundry soon. I watched an episode of Sherlock before going and starting a load of laundry. I came up and had some popcorn for lunch and then I just hung out on the sofa for a while until it was time to make my dinner. We did have a random neighbor come over and ask if we still had Fiks’ car, because they had the same year and model car until recently. And they had some really expensive floor mats that they just wanted to give us. Fiks was really exited about them and chatted with them for a little while. Afterwards I worked on making the gluten free pasta and creamy pumpkin sauce. I didn’t add enough salt or pepper, because it was really boring and bland. But it was too late to make something else for dinner. Fiks and I went and got dressed and then we headed to my Parents house.

We got there and you could smell the garlic and the onions, which made me hungry. I got the presents out for my Sister In Law, and my dinner, and then we walked inside. We were very excited to see my Niece who was watching some Heathcliff and had been working on her Lego Stitch.

Poppa and my Brother were working on dinner, and Mom and my Sister were sitting down and watching cartoons with my Niece. My sister asked how my new diet was going and I told her that it sucked, that I wasn’t allowed certain foods. Like garlic and onions. I added some salt to my dinner when everyone was getting their tacos/fajitas and sat down at the table. We ate together and then we played some Slap burger before moving onto Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza again. And then we played the Christmas edition of that game, and I ended up going out second, which was a nice change.

Afterwards we went to the grocery store, where we discovered I had forgotten the list, so I went off memory. I did okay, and we ran into a friend on our way out. R saw me as I was pushing the trolly back and waved to me. So I said hi and went over and got a hug, and Fiks was waiting in the car wondering what was taking me so long. Then he looked up and saw me hanging out with R, so he zoomed over and we chatted for a little bit before we said our goodbyes and coming home.

We unloaded the car, moved the laundry, and took out the garbage and recycling. Fiks is currently working on taking care of Toothless and the neon fish, and I’m sitting on the sofa working on this and staying out of his way.

I didn’t sleep the greatest last night, waking up in the middle of the night for an hour. I moved to the sofa and turned on The Simpsons and fell asleep to that for a while before waking up and going back to bed. And it felt like no one would leave me alone after Fiks kissed me goodbye. My dentist got a hold of me and told me that they had a opening at 3 today, so I took it since I had to miss it last week. I moved to the sofa and my Sister texted me, asking me to keep my eyes open for packages for her.

My first appointment happened at 10, and it went fine. Then I flopped on the sofa for a while, getting up to make some lunch and just chill until my next appointment. I watched an episode or two of Bones, not able to take a nap like I had hoped. When it was time I went to my next appointment, where I met a very kind Doctor who was just as confused as I was as to why I was there. I haven’t had a sinus infection in quite a while, my nostrils looked nice and clear. He gave me something new to try and so its like a nebulizer but in a sinus rinse. I read my book while I was waiting for my prescription to be filled.

Once I had my prescription I went down the mountain and sat in traffic in order to get to my Dentist appointment. I got there early, and just sat and read my book until it was my turn. What originally though of as a cleaning turned into an exam and a cleaning. It wasn’t the worst exam I’ve ever had, but I didn’t pass with flying colors. We made an appointment in June to fix one of my teeth, and then I made my way home. I flopped on the sofa and watched Bones until my Sister came home, then I took over the boxes I had intercepted from Amazon for her, and then Fiks came home. He’s currently on his computer gaming. I don’t know what I want to do for dinner. I ended up making a grilled cheese and watching The Haunted Mansion. Well, more like doom scrolling through it. I watched the last 20 minutes or so.

I didn’t sleep the best last night. I woke up a few times, wide awake for a hour around 3 am. I turned on my audio book and then I fell asleep to that for a while. I woke up and thought I had missed Fiks saying goodbye, but no, he was in the bathroom getting ready. So I was awake for my kiss goodbye, yay. I moved to the sofa and had my yogurt and dozed to The Simpsons for an hour before realizing I was running late, so I got up and dressed and made my lunch and tried to feed the fish. Neon fish did fine, Toothless is a little more difficult because he only gets so many pellets at a time, and I try to get a certain amount in him before I leave. But with running late I didn’t have that luxury.

I got to work okay, punching in at 9 on the dot. I started rooming as soon as the folders came back, and just kept going through the day. We had a St. Barnard come in that had a mass on his jaw, and we had a dental cleaning and a ‘tail tuck’ (we removed a mass at the base of his tail) on another dog. We had a dog come in for a drop off appointment, and we took some blood and placed a catheter so we could give it fluids. Hadn’t eaten since Saturday, hadn’t had insulin since Saturday, had been vomiting and having bloody diarrhea. Why the owner waited so long is beyond me.

I came back from lunch and they were done with the St. Barnard and helping him recover, so I just puttered around the office. I helped with the dental for a little bit, grabbing things that they forgot or needed. Once the tail tuck was done they moved onto the dental, and A and C and I chatted about how something one of the doctors did to me wasn’t cool, and that A would never do that to me. I said thanks, then C jumped in and said that it wasn’t conducive to learning what she did. Totally agreed with her.

I thought I was closing tonight, but apparently not. It was G and S who were closing, so I left since there was nothing left to do minus discharge the patients that we had left and everything else was pretty much done except turning off oxygen and vacuuming and mopping. I came home and hopped into the shower and washed my hair and then I hung out on the sofa looking at my phone with The Simpsons on as background noise.

Fiks texted that he was on his way home, well, after he hit up the brewery. I asked him to pick up some dinner, since I was craving potstickers but I can’t have any because they have garlic in them. I ordered a ginger and beef veggie dish and a chicken skewer for dinner, and Fiks got some noodles with peanuts and some spring rolls. He ate everything up, and I did pretty well for me on mine.

I forgot to keep up with this for the rest of the week. Fiks went camping at Darkshore and I got bit by a cat who was recovering from surgery.

I’ll try to do better next week.

~Just keep swimming~
