Longest day ever.

judecorpWhat an incredibly long day.
I woke up twice this morning, first at 8 and then at 8:45. I was going to call Jennifer at 9 to see how she was feeling, and to make sure that she had called her job if she wasn't going in. She called me instead, saying that she was feeling worse and that she had a doctor's appointment at 10:40. She said that if I had some time, she'd like me to come over before I went to work. Umm, duh.
So I got ready and I headed to her house at around 10, parking in front so she wouldn't have far to walk. We talked for a little bit and then I got her in the car to go to her doctor appointment. She went in at 10:30, and I sat and read in the waiting room until about 11:05 when she sent a nurse for me, since she hadn't seen a doctor yet and was bored. So I went and amused her for a bit, and then the doctors came, and everyone shook my hand and introduced myself. Heh. I felt kind of odd in there, since they were talking to me all spouselike. At one point, a nurse (the same nurse who chastised me for not caring if I got pregnant!) asked me if I was her roommate. When I said she was my girlfriend, she said something like, "Oh, she's your partner." No, she's my girlfriend. We don't own a law firm! Besides, the p-word is super big-o serious. Yeah.
So anyway, after the doctor exams and the diagnosis (infections mononucleosis, ugh), we waited for her to get a bunch of blood drawn and then checked out. Then I took her to CVS and to the grocery store, dropped her off, and raced to work. I got in at a cool 1:30pm. Oops. (Yes, I'd called first, of course.)
Work was just incredibly long and tedious. Most of my early appointments didn't show up, but there were other people that needed me so that was okay. But then there was a period of time where I didn't see anyone and I sat in my office doing office things, and I just got so exhausted. By the time my open hours came around, I was grumpy and wanted to go home - so of course it was a madhouse. I ended up doing 2 hours of open hours instead of 1.5 just so I could see everyone. Then I went to Jen's to check on her, and we ate some dinner and talked for a while, but I had to bail around 10 because I hadn't been home all day and I need to get to bed fairly early. Yawnsies.
We were laying on her bed after dinner just positively torturing each other with want. I need some sort of timeline to when I can kiss her again, because I'm going to go crazy. I am. Completely nuts. I am /so/ /horribly/ /frustrated/ right now. ARGH! ARGH ARGH ARGH! Need. Smooches! (How long are people with mono contagious, anyway? And who'd she get it from, hunh hunh hunh?)
So I'm tired. And I'm wiped out. And I'm going to curl up and read in a little bit, once I've cleared out some of the email. But I'd really appreciate it if people could send their energies to the cosmos so that I don't get sick. I mean, seriously, there are two case managers in my shelter, and the other one is only part-time case management, and if I got that sick... shoot, I don't know what would happen. It would be bad.

people missing appointments
Date: 2003-03-11 06:12 am (UTC)Please please please don't get sick. I'd probably end up being asked to sub at 8th, or something absurd like that.
Re: people missing appointments
Date: 2003-03-11 06:22 am (UTC)I am going to try very hard not to get sick. Trust me. I don't really feeling like being laid up in bed
although I would like to get laid.I can't even imagine how the "subbing" would go. I mean, when Shannon was out for most of a week when her daughter was sick, I think they just waited for her to come back.
chances are...

Date: 2003-03-11 06:37 am (UTC)They /did/ tell me that if I started getting sick, I could call and they would just treat me without me having to come in, because they would know what I had.
But I'm still clinging to the hope that I don't get any symptoms. :)
