Still Not Perfect

The last couple of weeks have been really tough for me and my family. It started with me forgetting to reorder by medicine until I only had a day or two’s worth left. Now my refills usually get here within a couple days of me ordering them, but of course this time it had to take almost two weeks. Even though it’s a relatively mild medicine (lexapro), the withdrawal can wreak havoc on you.

To add to that my sister-in-law came into town just when things were starting to get hard. That made it even harder because she was staying in my “study” which is where I like to wind down and level myself out, stuff that is even more important to try to do when you are suddenly coming off of your medicine.

Then, a couple of days after she arrived my wife started to get really sick (high fever, etc). Turns out she had a gallbladder infection and a couple of stones. Time for emergency surgery. A couple of days in the hospital to recover and she is feeling much better. I’m thankful my sister-in-law was around to help some during that time. Once we get my wife home from the hospital we’ve got the house to ourselves again, and my medicine had arrived so I could start ramping up on it again.

And then things get rattled up at work. I had known a management change was in the works, and even that it would be happening soon. It is just hard knowing that I am leaving what will probably be the best manager I will ever work for. I’m getting used to the new team now, but it just isn’t the same (even though 4 of my teammates are the same).

Of course I haven’t really had the energy to even record everything that has been going on until now, almost a month after most of it. Oh well, that’s how life is sometimes I guess.
