When You Can't Sleep

So, it's one of those nights where I just roll around in my bed for hours wishing that sleep would come.  Unfortunately, my brain doesn't want to comply and is practically buzzing with energy.  This is what I get for spending all day on the computer ... technology messes with your mind.

There's this site.  It's called endure4thecure.org.  I know I don't have any readers as of right now, but if there is anyone just passing by, please go on over and visit this page.  A girl from Omaha, NE, who happens to be exactly like me, is trying to get together a nation-wide community for people with Crohn's Disease and other IBDs.  Please go over and take a look.  Maybe leave a comment to let her know that someone is listening or send an e-mail if you have a suggestion.

In other news ...

I don't actually have Lyme Disease.  My blood test was negative.  It's a good thing everybody (mom) freaked out about it!  Unfortunately, I still have to finish off three weeks worth of antibiotics.  I hate taking unnecessary medicine, especially since these particular antibiotics mess with the balance of my life.  It can't be taken within two hours of a multivitamin (which I take with my morning meds) or dairy products (I usually take my morning meds with cereal).  And it's twice a day!  I finally got bumped up to an awesome once a day medicine and then this stupid antibiotic got in the way of that.  Grr.

Also ...

I'm having a major social crisis due to getting a new job.  I feel extremely young and inexperienced whenever I go in to talk to the boss-ladies (which is all I've done so far) and this results in me being SUPER SHY.  I'm always afraid I'll do something stupid or wrong.  Then I go home and over-analyze all my actions and freak out about next time.  It's like middle school all over again!  I hope this gets easier ...

Tomorrow I have to go in for computer training again, since they were down when I went on Monday.  Then, I get a tour of the bakery and can finally schedule some actual working hours.  The bakery manager told me they had a busy week ahead of them, so that's exciting.  After so many weeks of doing absolutely nothing, I can't wait for a challenge.  A baking challenge!

I'm going to try to sleep now and forget about all of the social awkwardness I know is going to happen tomorrow.

Love,
Little Me
