I took a nap yesterday and woke up extremely ill. I had a headache, stomachache, sore throat, stuffy nose - you name it, I had it. I'm still sick, but I have to work tonight. I'm going to try and just trudge through it because I have tomorrow night off. I'm hoping that once I start work, I'll feel a little better. If I feel that bad and they ask me if I want to go home, I might just do so...it all depends on how I feel and if they even ask me. If I feel THAT bad, I might tell them if they can afford to VTO (volunteered time off) me, then I'd like to go home.
Last night was terrible. I tossed and turned all night and was up every hour, on the hour. :(
I can't seem to get comfortable enough to sleep for any length of time today either. I had plans of staying in bed all day, so that I would be rested up to make it through this shift tonight, but that didn't work all too well. I was up every five minutes peeing.
I've been trying to pump Gatorade in my system. I have cough drops but no tissues, so I'm using toilet paper instead. I went looking for some sort of cold medicine and had to throw four bottles of it out due to it being expired and only had one left that only had a little bit left in it. I'm managing though. Got plenty of Gatorade, some cough drops, and Jason bought me some more cold medicine and Vicks Rub.
Money is tight, but before I laid down this morning, Jason told him he was going out and that he would be back. I said, "Okay." and laid down. He came home and put a Walgreen's bag next to me. I asked him what was in it and he told me Vicks Rub and cold medicine. I told him that we couldn't really afford that, but he was being persistent that I needed it. How sweet is he?!
I'll be spending my Monday off in bed, sick.
I'm also hoping to hear something back on whether or not I got that job soon - hopefully tomorrow (would be nice). I texted my temp agency boss just a bit ago and asked her what happens if they don't recommend me for hire. I've almost put all my hours in to get considered. I only have two weeks left...I'm kind of freaking out now to be perfectly honest, especially with Jason being laid off for the whole month of December. Keeping my fingers crossed!
Along with budgeting real tight this month, I want to start meal prepping...and for a few good reasons. For one, we will be able to eat real meals without worrying about having nothing to eat because we have too much going on to prepare meals every night. I'd probably prepare them when I have a day off and do five days worth of meals - breakfast, lunch and dinner. One day a week will be a "cheat night" where we can go get food out. You still need that kind of stuff in your life.
It will keep us within a better budget instead of wasting and throwing dollars in the trash (hopefully). It will allow us to eat healthier. I came across a FB video that got me really excited about meal prepping.
Just some of the clips for meal preps I want to try.
I have to figure out how to accommodate Jason in the meal prep because he doesn't like most of the things that I like to eat, so this will prove to be challenging.
I'm going to lay down for a few before work. Hopefully I can come home early...we'll see. :(
