So things have been a bit stressful the last week or so.
1. The last eternal period left me extremely anemic. My hemoglobin is about 8 and hematocrit is around 26%. I'm exhausted, short of breath, dizzy and feel like shit. I've been taking as much iron as I can stand, but it upsets my stomach and gives me the shits. Went to the doctor last Thursday, and now I have to set up IV iron infusions. Ugh.
2. Went to Westport with crazy auntie on the 27th & 28th, and now we are buying a house together. She needs my credit rating and income for a loan. It's a super cute, but super tiny house. Very perfect for her. So I get the stress of buying a house without the fun part. The inspection was very good, though.
3. We found Snack the rabbit with his paw all tangled up in a pee pad on Sunday morning. Had likely been like that for several hours. He was stressed out and is favoring a back leg, but seems to be feeling better this morning.
4. If Chip doesn't stop chewing every goddamn thing he sees, I'm going to rip all his teeth out. And training hasn't been going very well, both because I don't feel good right now, and because he seems to have hit his teenage rebellion stage. I hate adolescent animals.
5. We have been hearing running water in the wall for a couple weeks, but haven't been able to do anything about it until this weekend. Went under the house and there's a nice pool and leak coming through the insulation. Moved the toilet and opened up the wall last night, but the leak is actually under the house. I can't get to it because of the heating pipes. Called a plumber a few minutes ago, so hopefully that will get fixed today. It's not actually causing any damage due to it's location, so at least we don't have to worry about fixing water damage. Just need to let the crawlspace dry out. Hope they send a super skinny guy, it's tight under there.
6. The massive landscaping project is supposed to start today. I'm off today and tomorrow to deal with it, because Big D had to go for a work trip all this week, which I wish I would have known BEFORE I scheduled this. He never tells me these kinds of things until last minute. If it takes longer than two days, they'll just have to bring me any problems before I leave for work.
Bonus round: I didn't hardly sleep at all last night. Coffee is brewing right now, but I don't think it will be able to carry the day.
