The Past/Pest That Keeps Coming Back

Recently, my ex-boyfriend from 2 years ago started texting me again. Sigh. After trying so hard to erase him from my life, he still managed to find a way to get my cellphone number and text me, "Can we be friends na? Kasi I know you're happy na naman eh!"

Oh well, I'm trying to be civil this time. However, I did something slightly evil while texting him. Anyway, since he has absolutely no sense of irony he probably never got it. It's no fun being bad when the other person doesn't squirm anyway.

I'm allergic to dust mites!!!!!

Over the last few weeks, I've been struggling with a lot of things in relation to my health. First, I had a really bad case of allergic conjunctivitis. That kept me twice from my work. Second, my skin asthma returned. Third, I had this stubborn cold that wouldn't go away. Fourth, I started having these horrible coughing fits that wouldn't stop. Since the office provides for a healthplan, I went to various doctors and tried to find out what was wrong with me. Always, the main theme during those check-ups was that I had some kind of allergy.

Finally, last Saturday, "_" decided to bring me to the doctor. Now I hate hospitals and I'm really afraid of doctors which is why I had been putting off the visit for weeks now. This is strange considering I spent most of my childhood in the hospital and I often found myself taking care of my mom everytime she was hospitalized.

This time we decided to go to an allergologist so I could finally find out what was causing all my weird diseases. She tried to find out my medical history and did a skin test on me. At the end of the day, we found out that I am seriously allergic to dust mites.

Considering I live in Metro Manila, how the hell am I supposed to lessen my exposure to dust mites? Sigh. I have no absolutely no idea short of deciding to live in a bubble ball.

On my way home, "_" and I were talking, he said, "I hope our future kids have your looks and brains. But hopefully, they have my immune system." I'd have to say I don't think it will be easy to raise asthmatic children who break out the moment they step out of the house.

Office Blocked My Access to Blogger

If you notice, I haven't been posting as regularly as I used to. Aside from being too busy to write anything, the office recently decided to block our access to blogger and any other blog sites.

Damn it! Now I don't have any place to ven anymore when things get really messed up in the office.

No regrets for any of the career choices I made in the last year.

However, at this point, I think I need to make a choice....

My health or my career?

I think I will choose my health.

It doesn't mean I will quit tomorrow. I don't have enough money to do that. Besides, there are too many things happening at home so I don't have the luxury of making that sort of impulsive decision.

Just a few more months...

I don't want to say that I failed at something which is why I am quitting...again...

I really just want a job where I don't have to drag my feet going to the office.

I want a job whete I can actually be happy and healthy.

Sad, Sad, Sad

This is my schedule for the week:

Monday: 9 AM- 6 AM
Tuesday: 1 PM- 10 PM
Wednesday: 10 PM- 7 AM
Thursday: 10 PM- 7 AM
Friday: 8:30 PM- 5:30 PM

Sounds really crazy right? I'll just try it out for this week and if I really can't handle it then, I really just have to let my bosses know.

I'm at that stage right now where I'm beginning to feel all the effects of my weird schedule. I cam down with a cold last week and I had to go see a doctor last Saturday. She says I have something called allergic rhinitis. 2 weeks ago, I had allergic conjunctivitis. Then 1 week ago, I also noticed that my skin asthma was recurring again.

I don't need an allergologist to tell that I am way stressed out right now!

Just when I think that everything is okay, something always comes up....

I'm tired.

I'm beginning to question if all my work in the last 9 months has been worth it.

All I'm seeing right now is the bad stuff....

I need to see something really good happen to me so I can get out of this funk I'm in right now.
