Feelin' it

Thankfully, the nausea side effects from the Norethi.ndrone have decreased. They are no longer at the gripping-a-bag-and-covering-my-mouth-willing-nothing-to-come-out level all day long. Mild nausea I can take.

Unfortunately, the Lupron side effects are happily taking their place. Last night I blew up at Jake for something minor- and I knew it was minor at the time, but couldn't help it. It just felt so darn good to be angry and get it out. Poor Jake.

Then today at school my two particular co-workers were up to their usual antics. (Side note: I don't understand how people that are rude, condescending, selfish, negative, close minded, controlling, and uncompromising can end up being kindergarten teachers- when the opposite traits are what should be modeled and taught to kindergartners!) I've been putting up with their stuff since September and I've just about had it. Usually I deal with the issues, brush them off and try to be professional in spite of their unprofessionalism- but today their usual bullshit almost drove me to the edge. I was filled with a uncommon rage that I couldn't shake until I vented it all out to (again, poor) Jake.

In the next three days I will be surrounded by my co-workers as we screen the incoming kindergarten students. I am a littler nervous about what shenanigans they might be up to... and about the rage I might not be able to stifle until later.

They might not know what hit them.

I'm sorry you're still having side effects from the drugs. :-( I've been warning my husband about my hormones and emotions once I start the injections. Maybe we should all start a support group for our hubbys!

Wow, nice to know I have that to look forward to!

So sorry that you're going through the mood change, Katie. Our nurse warned the husbands during orientation class about it. I'm a bit scared about what I'll turn into but I keep repeating, it's only for a little while.

You can get through this!

Sorry about the side effects, but I think you should take advantage of them. Give your co-workers what they've had coming to them! Then hopefully you'll be all out of rage when you head home to see Jake.

I vote for ATOM-BOMB-KATIE!!!

Katie, I'm so sorry about the side-effects, but maybe they will give you the excuse to tell your co-workers what you really think. Feel better soon!!
