Wow it's been a long time! Mood
Saturday, August 16, 2008 | A General Update story
Well, I have been enjoying my summer as much as I can.  I am still battling horrible unrelenting fatigue, and without my fatrigue meds, I wouldn't be able to be awake at all.  My husband's company was closed by GM, he is an Engineer.  So, he has been home for a couple fo weeks and he lets me sleep in everyday while he gets up with our son, Wyatt.  I have to go back to working at an elementary school on the 27th, and I will have to be up by 5:30am again.  I know it eventually will tax my system enough that I will get sick.  I hope these 2 weeks last forever!  I love all the messages and hugs I have been sent.  Thank you all, so much!  I am sending no hurts and better day vibes to all of you!

    Amey, i really missed you!!
    I was so worried when you hadnt been on for so long!

    Im sorry that hubby's firm closed. Is he ok for another job? I hope he finds something soon. That must be a worry.
    Its great that he has been letting you lie in bed though! Good man!!

    Good luck with going back to work. Thats an awfully early time to have to be up. Who has Wyatt when you are at work?
    I hope that you can get to bed early enough in the evenings, so you can rest up that way. I know it must be a hard thing, working those hours. But, i know that you love your job, and its such a worth while and important job that you do.

    Thanks for the hugs!! Lotsalove to you, xoxooxxo

    Sleep deprivation can be a real problem any chance you could find something that starts later in the day?

    mike's nephew works at GM and everybody's nervous about their jobs. his brother is a union foreman and he's sliding out with retirement, good pension, etc. always was a lucky pup.
    good luck with the long hours and glad you love your job!

    Thank you for all of your comments! My husband's job was lost due to GM closing the company, thank you GM!!! He is interviewing today actually. Nan, I love being a school social worker, so I will have to get my rear up very early to do it. The plus side is I get out at 3:05 pm 4 days a week and can make it home by aroun 4, 4:15. The Provigil and Adderall help with the fatigue, but sometimes, like during yesterday's Open House after school, I just get hit with huge fatigue. I was worried about driving home but I made it!
