Annoyed.. at my Neph, for what he sees as a good visit in centre.  I don't know if saying hi is good enough to know what's going on.  I had questions for him, and if it weren't for my nurses, I wouldn't have gotten the questions answered.  They didn't have a chance to ask him either, they just looked up the notes and found the answers.

And no, Chook. The people who've been ignoring me have progressed to avoidance as well.

Annoyed. Social Security scheduled a review of my eligibility for SSI today over the phone at 10:30. It's now 11:10, they haven't called yet, and I have to leave in 20 minutes.

Mood-less.  Yes, I have no mood.  Or no oompf.  Neither happy, nor sad.  Not blue, not cheerful.  Not stressed, nor sleepy.

Odd.

Empty might be the word I'm looking for.

*sigh*

Still, give me an hour and I may develop some sort of 'mood' ...

Tired. I got as close as I've been to crashing today.

Weighed myself when I got up this morning, it said 48.6, and I added the usual 1.7 for my clothes, shoes, and stuff in my pockets, so I expected to be around 50.3 kg. That's not too bad, as I got off on Wednesday at 49.1. I decided I could have a cup of coffee (which I usually avoid on dialysis days) and a big bowl of cereal. I forgot to weigh myself fully dressed before I left.

When I got to the unit, I weighed in at 51.6 (I checked twice). Weird. So I needed 2.5 taken off (plus 0.6 for the saline). Usually that's not a big problem when it happens.

I was just fine the whole time I was on. I slept for an hour and a half or so; then, less than 5 minutes before I was done, it hit me really hard and fast, and I had to ask for my blood back quickly. The tech was asking me if I could hear her because I looked so pale and out of it. It makes me wonder what would happen if that occurred during home dialysis.  :o

I also got a fistula lecture.  >:(

I only drank half the cappuccino.. *L*  I made it too strong.. I think it might be a bit of a sense of accomplishment, cuz I set out to do something, and did it.  Now, to get the facebook page for the PEI chapter of the Kidney Foundation of Canada that I said I'd set up.  Once that's done, continue working on my novel.

Bach was no pioneer; his style was not influenced by any past or contemporary century.
  He was completion and fulfillment in itself, like a meteor which follows its own path.
