Really?

Okay, so some of you will have noticed my mentioning that I feel really tired. Well long story short I went to a Doctor's Office with the intent to have blood drawn and tests run to see if there was some serious or treatable cause for my extreme fatigue (such as anemia). They asked me all sorts of questions and have me fill out two mood tests because they decided I showed signs of depression. Was I experiencing high levels of stress? Yes. Did I sleep all through the night without waking? Yes. But I'm still tired? Yes. Did I fall asleep inappropriately? No.

For some reason that just confused the heck out of them. They could not seem to understand that the life I'm living right now is not normal. When I did get to talk to the actual doctor the first thing he says is: "So this medication I'm going to put you on is..." And I was confused. I asked if I was going to get my blood test still and he said yes, and then explained to me that he needed to find something that would not relax me too much but would help me sleep and stay alert. I got two week's worth of free samples of something I can't remember the name of. But the thing is that he gave me Narcolepsy medicine. Excuse me, I haven't actually fallen asleep anywhere except my bed! I often feel so sleepy that I could put my head on the table and just nap if I gave myself the chance, but as of yet that hasn't happened.

The culmination of this tale is that I flushed the medicine and the blood tests came out negative to anything. They wanted me to make a return appointment and I declined, I don't' think they can help me. Probably the best cure will be to sleep two days in my own bed back home breathing crisp and clean Washington air.

That was probably the most exciting event to happen in my life last week. The other would be going to this place called Kolache Factory that has many delicious things. Imagine if you will a very tasty dinner roll. Now place inside this roll other scrumptious items such as Philly cheese steak, diced ham, and a combination of scrambled eggs, potato and cheese. My mouth is watering just remembering it! (doesn't help I'm super hungry!)

So yes.

I believe that is all for now.
