I changed the battery in the scale. I am down 9 pounds. Of all the times to have the battery die. I am bored today. Dare I say, I am looking forward to going back to work? Not really. It's quiet here. There is no drama. I guess if I could work alone I'd be golden. But, then who would I annoy???

I read the pamphlet that the hospital gives out about diet. It's the same but different from the one my Dr. gave me. The one from the Doc's office just basically says eat 1 starch, 1 meat, 1 fruit, 1 veggie. I give back 1 blank stare. The one from the hospital says 1 oz steak, 1/2c mashed taters, some green beans... now it all makes sense to me. Maybe thats why all those damn diets and plans failed, I had no clue. I cant decide for myself what to eat... just tell me dammit. On the bright side, I get a 1oz bite of cheese in 13 more days... cant wait!!!!!!

I have to call today to schedule my first fill. I dread that call. The office chick that I need to speak with is such a bitch. I do the whole kill 'em with kindness thing but she is a serious candidate for a slap.

I'm tired but mentally feel fiesty today. My lower back is still killing me and I have a bit of a headache.. nothing more than normal. I have a rash around a few of my steri-strips. I told them I was allergic to band aids and I wake up with band aids. brilliant bunch. I have been using Benedryl spray to cut the itch. It helps. I will have ugly enough scars, I dont need added scaring from my scratching.

I am going to attempt to be nap-free today since I have to go back to work tomorrow and they seem to have an issue with me napping at my desk... no sense of humor.
