Forever Overextended

Hi everyone. Well, it seems that work is the place to update. LOL. Saturday and Sunday were consumed with Children's Theatre. They were our preview performances. That was kinda hectic. Monday was work and then mobility. I royally screwed up in mobility. I almost did a diagonal crossing at the stop sign. I thought zI had, but I hadn't. I decided to keep going and ask for directions because I was pretty sure I'd screwed up. This Mexican street vendor told me that I was three blocks from where I wanted to be. So I turned around and headed back in the "right" direction. I asked someone else then because I didn't know how to get back. The next guy I asked said I was on the right street heading the wrong direction. This means that I'd been going the right way the whole time before I asked the street vendor. That threw off everything I did from that point on. Now she says it will be a month before I'm ready for the home interview. Tuesday morning I woke up with a really scrachy throat. After cursing that fact, I got on Access and went to work. When I stepped out, my right side ached like I'd pulled a muscle. Soon the ache had spread to my entire body. Needless to say, I felt like crap. At first I was in total denial telling myself that I wasn't sick and that it would just briefly come and go. By midafternoon I knew it wasn't just a passing fatigue. Access actually had a compassionate day and changed my assigned address so I could go home instead of to the Baha'i Center. I went home and crashed but I don't think I will ever sleep through the night again. I haven't since That One came into my life. Sometimes I hate myself for not just letting it go. It was a year and a half ago. I mean, it was just his hand, right? Oh God! I think I need therapy. Anyway, back to the update and away from all this other garbage. I slept for about three hours, answered the phone. And then lay in bed for like 4 hours before falling into a sleep that only lasted for about two hours since i had to cancel Access because I decided not to go to work. Finally, I went to sleep for 5 more hours and didn't get up till quarter of one in the afternoon. My head ached so bad! Heck. It still aches. I was sad about missing work because they had a sing along last night that I really wanted to do. From the sound of it, it was a lot of fun. A woman came to look at my apartment last night. I don't know if I mentioned that we got the okay to move into the house. Well, this woman was like 40 minutes late and I was pissed because I just wanted to crawl into bed so I wouldn't keep feeling the throbbing in my head. She wants to come by again to see it in the light. There were five people that asked to look. I responded to all but one because she sounded really rude in her e-mail and I only want someone who is an obviously good person who will do things like pay rent on time. This woman who I didn't respond to acted like I should just commit to her without even meeting her and I'm not willing to do that. Anyway, I talked to Anne and David for a little while, but mostly yesterday was boring because I slept and watched mindless crap on TV. The only god thing I watched was Jeopardy. I am a huge fan and I haven't had as much time as I would like to watch it. I used to watch it every single day. I finally went to sleep last night after lying in bed forever. This morning I felt better until I started walking to class. Now, I'm achy again. My head is the worst! I don't know what to do. I don't want to go to choir, but how can I not? I already missed last week for the same reason. And I missed another one because of Access. You can only miss three. I could have gone to sectional yesterday and that would have made up for one, but I didn't do anything yesterday. Cram Session is Saturday, but I am already going crazy trying to figure out how to do the Halloween carnival and Children' Theatre. Hence the title overextended. I'm just glad the Muslim voices aren't there taunting me about getting lost on mobility or whenever I get disoriented. But I need to be careful because I might reach a major insanity level. I have the play, work, choir, moving to a new house, trying to do mobility to get a guide dog, helping with the Baha'i work like teaching and stuff. I've made commitments to all of these things and I need to see them all through. I'm really glad I didn't add school to the mix this quarter or I would literally have died. Okay. Well, I have class starting in four minutes. Finally. I'll talk to everyone later.
