ARGH

So I had my prenatal labs today. I got there and waited too long. Then when they called me, discovered my lab orders were not in the computer. I have had this appointment set for two weeks. Stupid military medical facilities. They are only subpar on their good days. I hope we move soon so that I can get a different facility. Maybe they will be better.

I woke up this morning feeling pretty good. I got around early because I had to come in to work with Michael. He works at the hospital were all my prenatal stuff is done. It just saves on gas if I come in with him. Of course that means that I have to be bored the rest of the day, but oh well. Anything to save a buck or two.

As soon as we pulled into the parking lot I knew I was in trouble. The car ride was not good for my already sensitive stomach. I have discovered that I get pretty carsick now that I am pregnant. So anyway, I got out of the car and thought, maybe I will make it to the basement bathroom. Michael works in the basement of the hospital and there is a bathroom really close to his office. About half way to the front doors of the hospital, I started to heave and burp slightly. I had a hard time keeping everything down. We got inside and I made a mad dash for the first bathroom I could find. Now, I only had a couple bites of jello for breakfast this morning so I didn't have much to loose. I discovered as I threw up that yesterdays breakfast was partially still in my system. I didn't think that was possible.

I finally got over it and managed to get down to Michael's office. His office mate came in and tried to make small talk. I am really not too crazy about this guy, and I didn't feel good, so I wasn't very talkative. As he was leaving he said "have a good day." Well I said "you too" trying to be polite. He said he probably wouldn't knowing this place. Well as he was leaving I informed him (although I really doubt he heard me) that he couldn't possibly have as bad a day as I already was. It irritates me that some people just complain about stuff and think their life is horrible when they really don't have to deal with anything but doing the work they are required to do. It really gives me a new perspective on what a bad day can be and I will probably never complain about a bad day again unless I am really having one that comes close to what I have to deal with right now.

I have now had 10 viles of blood taken from me and feel a little dizzy. I am trying to drink some water and eat some crackers, but let me tell you, after two weeks of eating crackers, I am very tired of it. I may not eat saltines for a very long time after this pregnancy is all over with. I really don't want them anymore. I am craving stuff that will make me throw up, so I guess for now I will be a good girl and eat my crackers.

I am thinking Japenese tonight for dinner though. I think I told Michael tomorrow, but I really want it tonight if I can get rid of my tummy ache. We are supposed to go downtown Charleston to Tsunamis with some friends. I don't know if they have anything planned for tonight yet. I guess I will have to ask them later.

I really need a nap now. My cat woke me up at 4:44 this morning. I could not get back to sleep until around 6. I had to get up at 6:45, so that kind of defeated the purpouse of going back to sleep I guess. There is a female cat outside who is in heat. Our male cat is not fixed yet. So when she comes around crying, he wakes me up with his crying right back. The horney little snot face.

Yesterday afternoon while Michael took an extremely long nap, some people in a neighboring apt complex were playing their music loud enough for me to hear the words inside with my tv going. Now I know I am moody right now, but noise is something I have never been able to tolerate. If we didn't live in the ghetto, I would have gone over there and beat someone down. However, I did not due to the fact that I am scared for my life as well as the life of my unborn child. Also, I knew if something happened to me, Michael wouldn't have noticed soon enough to maybe save my life. He was too busy sleeping. I had to wake him up after 2 1/2 hours. Talk about a lazy bum. And to make things worse, he slept for 11 hours the night before.

Anyway, I guess this is enough for now. Maybe more this afternoon if anything else happens today.
