Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 39 degrees F and dark here at the Jersey Shore. The high for today is 53 which feel positively balmy after the past couple of weeks.
It was a rough night here for me. I don't mean in terms of how I feel but due to a total lack of sleep. I took a Trazadone and fell asleep at 9:15pm but I woke up just an hour later. I was then up until like 1:15am and went back to sleep. I woke up at 2:15. I fell asleep yet again at 3 and woke up at 4. I gave up at that point. It is like I'm being punked. Over the past 2 days I've had a grand total of 7 hours of sleep. That is not nearly enough for me..
I was just in the bathroom and was afraid to see what I look like. Well my eyes are beyond bloodshot due to the lack of sleep. What is more horrifying though is the wrinkles under my eyes. I normally use an undereye treatment each morning but I was too distracted to do that or pack it before I headed here. I thought "okay I'll just use hand cream" and don't you know it is like the first time in my life I don't have any in my purse. And of course I took the bottle of tanning lotion out of my bag when I was packing my electronics, a book, etc. Oh well at least I always have deodorant in my purse. If I don't get discharged today then I will ask my neighbor to bring me a few things (brush, toothbrush, fresh socks, moisturizer, etc). She likely won't even balk at the $5 parking fee because I sent her $100 via Venmo the last time she had to watch the cats.
I am supposed to see the hematologist and oncologist today. At least that's what I assume since the referral was put in yesterday afternoon. I hope that is the case because I need to get back to work. (I never thought I would be saying that) The principal knows what is going on and apparently he told the head secretary because she texted me last night. Of course I will have documentation that I've been here. Hell I'll give him the medical bracelet if he wants it.
So for now it is a whole lot of just waiting around. . . in case you haven't noticed from the zillion posts over the past day and night.
I'm catching up on the news and looking forward to a real breakfast. My stomach is making some crazy sounds.
What's everyone else up to today?

I hope by now you are eating something. And I know how difficult it is to actually sleep in a hospital. Next to impossible!! When you do get home I bet you will sleep for hours! I just hope you get some answers and I know you miss your kitties.

Good morning... It is 41F in my part of Missouri this morning. Our high is supposed to reach 67F by this afternoon.
I'm glad you seem to be in good spirits this morning and hope you get released by this afternoon. (Why do people seem to get released from the hospital in the afternoon? Why not in the morning if all went well overnight?)
I'm glad somebody knows what happened/where you're at in case you need to be rescued. 
We want to go shopping sometime today. We're both talking about getting steak for dinner tonight and I'd like to pick up a nice pork loin to roast with onions and potatoes. IF you can get here, I'd be happy to share some of it with you.
I hope your day turns out really well.

I hope you get a good breakfast. Cousin #2 just called me. She couldn't sleep; but she will be over today. I have an appointment with a contractor for an estimate; but I think I will delay that until tomorrow.
