Both of my kids are sick right now.
Sigh... If you have not ever been within 100 yards of a sick kid let me spell out what this means. This means that there has been more crying and whining in my house today than there has been in like the last two weeks all put together. Think of how whiny and gripey you feel when you are sick, especially if you are a man, and multiply that by like ten... thousand. They want you to hold them but without touching them. They want you to lay next to them but you can't because they actually feel like they are a live convection oven because of the fever. They want to eat something but whine and cry and fight you the whole time because they can't think of anything that they want to eat. All in all it's an awesome good time.
I previously had asked for the day off work today because I needed to go see my thyroid doctor in order to get a new prescription of thyroid medicine, and to go to the eye doctor to get a new contact prescription, so this is shaping up to be the most amazing day that I have had in a long time. I hate when I take time off work and feel like I am busier than when I am at the office. Call me lazy but I love just chilling at home when I am taking days off work - feels like I get some catch up on rest. However, that didn't happen today... maybe the next time.
I always have a lot of anxiety before I go to my thyroid doctor because he always gripes at me about my weight. Let me start off by saying that I know that my weight is a problem and have finally got to a point where I am ready to do something about it. We have been on this diet for three weeks on Monday and according to my scale at home, I am down 16.2 lbs, which is pretty awesome! With that being said, since I started going to see this doctor, I have been in the same weight range. I have fluctuated up and down because of my normal changes, two pregnancies, and my diet the first round. Unfortunately, thanks to having no thyroid now for 10 years (this is ridiculous that it has been 10 years) I have to see him at the very least twice a year.
This time I am vowing to be different. I told him that I wanted to see him again in 3 months - I got him to agree by saying that I wanted him to monitor this weight loss since I really don't have a primary care doctor. For the last three years I have used my OB as my primary care doctor since I was either pregnant or immediately postpartum that entire time. Let's say that I am having a difficult time adjusting. That is for another post.
Luckily, he was nice today - partially because of this giant bus crash that we had near his office that was being dealt with at the time of my appointment, and partially because I was able to tell him about my success so far with this diet. My next appointment is now scheduled for some time in July; we will see how far I have gone with this weight loss at that time. In three months, I am hoping for 30-45 more pounds down.
I stopped and picked up Subway at the Lake Worth Subway, which must have searched far and wide for the worst employees ever. I have been there several times and every time that I go I have awful service. No one acknowledges you when you walk in. They have personal private conversations with each other while making your sandwich, and you often have to wait until they finish what they are talking about before they will address any need that you might have as the customer. It looks like we will be looking for another Subway.
I really love my eye doctor's office. I see Dr. Stephen Ference with Ference & Assoc. I hate that it's inside of a mall because I feel like I need to shop when I go there. He and his wife run an awesome practice. They are very thorough and offer excellent customer service. I would definitely recommend either one of them to anyone that I know. Their office staff is super friendly and I have never been disappointed with any time that I have ever been there.
All in all it's been a crazy day. This bus crash is all over the news, my kids are both laid up, sick and whiney, and we are looking forward to our camping trip next weekend.
