Last Day of Winter Break

Tomorrow I go back to school after two weeks off.  I'm not gonna lie, it's nice to know I only need to get through 2 more weeks of work before I get another week off.  I spent a lot of time yesterday writing sub plans and secured my sub for the week.

This morning I needed to change my estrogen patches.  It was kind of like taking off a bandaid.  One hurt like crazy and the other one was very easy.  I put 2 more on on the other side of my stomach.

We went to Aunt Jaime's house today for our white elephant party.  It was really weird seeing my mom and my whole family knowing what is going to happen in 2 weeks but none of them knowing.  It's like we have this crazy secret between Mike and I, it's a little fun. Of course as soon as I got there I got a headache from the patches and I didn't bring anything with me.  My notes from the doctor say to take baby aspirin with them but I haven't been doing that.  I drowned myself full of water since Aunt J couldn't find her Tylenol.

I decided now that I'm going back to school putting patches on before I go to school isn't going to be a good idea.  They really make me feel awful.  I'll change them when I get home from school so I can just lay in bed and let them take over my body.

Mom FaceTimed me as soon as I started typing this post.  She saw I was in bed and I just told her I was really tired and had Sunday back to work blues.  Little does she know I'm nauseous and uncomfortable from the patches.  It'll be interesting to see how my body handles being back at school tomorrow...
