Working sucks...and other obvious statements

So the young Kathy says I'M selfish?? She went and had another kid and left me...
all by myself.....don't wanna be....all by myself...anymore...*sniff*

And moreover, I have to do all her stinking work while she's gone. She's at home, relaxing, enjoying her vacation, hanging out with the kids doin' nothing and I'm over here busting my ass. I mean, how hard can it be, right? Paige sleeps all the time and Gavin is old enough now that he just self-entertains. This is bullshit.

Kathy are you laughing or groaning? Yeah, you couldn't pay me enough for the sleep deprivation my work-wife is experiencing right now.

I'm pretty overwhelmed because I'm not even one iota as good at Kathy's job as she is and it's very frustrating. BUT, I am almost 3 full days diet coke free. My headaches are subsiding. I'm drinking 3 bottles of water (at least) per day, and already I've noticed a difference in my skin. My age has brought some pretty strange things, but these dry patches on my chin? Annoying. It kind of looks like diaper rash if it gets bad. But lately this morning I noticed that I might have been able to go without moisturizer if I wanted to, and this is a good thing, because sometimes I forget.

Now for the bad news. I called to make an appointment with my naturopath? The woman who has changed my life? She's out until May 20th. And then? She's closing her Merrillville office. OF COURSE SHE IS. What have I done to my karma to deserve this??? She's the person I get my miracle pills from so I don't have to take ibuprofen! She's the reason I made it through a week in DC sleeping on a crummy mattress, driving for hours in vans and dealing with moody middle schoolers! She got me started on my current health kick! What in the fuck am I supposed to do NOW??? Hrmph. Very frustrating. Amazon.com sells all of my pills, so that's good. I guess I'm on my own. Hopefully she'll be able to recommend another good acupuncturist. I'm so sad. I liked her.
