WHA WHA--Debbie Downer, right? Sorry, guys.
I AM EXHAUSTED--this week at work, THREE DAYS MIND YOU have been hell. Last week I was by myself in our office, caring for patients, scheduling, calling patients, answering all calls, preparing all types of specimens, verifying insurances, taking payments--everything, dude. Then, along again Monday and Tuesday. Just ridiculous. I am so tired, I feel like someone took the wind out of my sails--to use that ol' chestnut.
Today, I had to go to the dentist *shudder* because I have been suffering some serious mouth pain. Turns out the last dentist I went to didn't seal up my filling correctly, so the cavity still grew underneath said filling. Now I need a root canal. Fucking awesome. Booked that for Friday morning to get that done with as soon as I possibly can, because holy mother, my jaw is KILLING ME. Antibiotics and pain pills to get me through.
UGH. With a side of BLECH.
Being the optimist (shut your dirty mouth, I am) I am, all this aggravation and and pain has done wonders in my running world--After Saturday's 9 miler, I was thinking Sunday would be an off day. Then I saw the Run4Nyc.com link and decided to do the 5K for it. Monday was causing me to be in a god-awful mood, so before talking to anyone after work, I ran--planned for 4, went 5+--nice! Same deal on Tuesday, went for 4, and today I figured I'd squeeze in something before going to our friends' house to babysit to try and bring down my mouth pain naturally for a bit--so I went a little over 3. And, yes, 3 miles was enough to get those endorphins kicking and really did help with pain for a bit--even though it was a really shitty feeling run. On all these runs my paces are getting better, even though I've felt slower--which is weird, right? I'm getting a bad read on myself! No matter, it's kind of amazing how all this is panning out this week.
17.25 Miles already this week and I've still got a few days and a long run to go. This will be a solid mileage week, people.
Found out on Monday that I've been picked as both a FitApproach.com's Sweat Pink Ambassador, as well as a GirlsGoneSporty.com Ambassador. Seriously! Check out my new badges in the sidebar. Totally psyched! I've been working on all my profile stuff for both sites tonight (since I finally had the chance to sit down and do so), and hope that I'll be able to reach out to even more folks. Even if I can only inspire ONE, I'll be overjoyed. Helping people is my 'thing' and want to do as much as I can while I'm around (way to be morbid, Krissy...).
Got all my goodies from Amazon that I mentioned in my last post, and I'll let you know more about them when I can properly use them for my long run on Saturday--give you the low-down, although so far, the Headsweats hat is pretty great--no more sweat in my eyeballs, yay!
Signed up for another race or two, which you can check out here.
Think that's about it for tonight--this post was some serious brain vomit. Sorry if it's all over the place--this is my brain right now!
How's everyone doing on the Pile On The Miles? Currently at 31.38 Miles of the 100 pledged. So far, so good--it's only November 7th, after all.
Alright people, let get through the get of this week, huh?
Go Fork Yourselves,

Well, in some parts of our planet this would be quite a nice office job (caring for patients, scheduling, calling patients, answering all calls, preparing all types of specimens, verifying insurances, taking payments--everything).
ReplyDeleteI think you need to understand the amount of stress all this entailed---as I was the only one in the office doing every job. What medical office do you know has only ONE person running the show? I'm sure you weren't trying to be condescending, but if you're going to make comments like this, you should have the experience in each aspect to do so. Some people will call in ungrateful, I call it saving my own sanity--and honestly, only care about that.
ReplyDeleteEither way, if you want that job, take it. I left there quite some time ago and have been ridiculously happy:)
