Yeah this is day 3 and my boss seems to be MIA - interesting...

Might not be such a bad thing. 

Definatley not - how can it be?

How are the energy levels Jen?

Thanks Cat... I'm almost done with my workday...

I'm feeling much better... think all those positive vibes must have worked...

I think thats great - I learnt to swim as a kid and even if you dont keep it up its a really good skill to have. Means you can go to a beach anywhere in the world and (within reason) be ok...

Plus you dont have to worry about him around water...

Hopefully its a good sign and tomorrow will be a much better day!

Still a little low.  Waiting for the new thyroid dose to kick in.  Should only be a few more weeks. 

Yeah... hard to believe I grew up ON the water and never learned properly how to swim... never felt comfortable without a life jacket actually ON while I was in the boat or water.  Even in our family swimming pool I always had either a life jacket or swim tube...

I started when I was pretty little, so it should help him.  Hope he enjoys the lessons. 

Oh Jen, I'm so sorry... You would think it wouldn't take so long 

It usually takes about 6 - 8 weeks every time I get a dose increase.  To be honest, I'm kind of getting used to this.  I've been doing this for a little over a year now.  I'm much better at managing between dose changes now - extra B vitamins seem to help a little. 

I think he's going to enjoy coming to work with Mommy more than the swim lessons.  It's going to be crazy trying to balance getting him here (and home sometimes) without going in circles and burning a ton of gas.
I'm hopeful that I can stick him in one of our "day camps" even though he's underage for it.

Oh, I love my B complexes!!!

Well at least you know what it is... might be frustrating but must be better than not knowing...

Wow it is... but youve turned out pretty good I always admire people who learn as an adult... seems like it would be a much harder skill to learn as a grown up

Would ice or something at least help reduce the swelling? ick

Do you have any Benadryl cream or hydrocortisone cream?  Put a very small amount under your eye and make sure it doesn't go it.  Helps a lot. 

okay here's a funny story about me...

Started teaching aerobics in 94'ish while at small university I despised... transferred back to party central where all my friends were and tried to get job teaching at rec center on campus... it was a pretty tuff click to get into... as I'm leaving the facility after interviewing the coordinator comes running out the building after me to ask if I had ever taught water aerobics and would I be willing to teach the COunsel on Aging class...  well, for some crazy reason I immediately responded that though I'd never taught I'd love to and enjoyed working with seniors...
I didn't even own a swimsuit appropriate for teaching in at the time... I sucked it up, taught on deck for the first two weeks, no deep water for an entire semester (not that the ladies cared)... I lasted with that group until I graduated (a year and a half later)  That's when I finally became comfortable with the water, but still couldn't swim in the deep end without a water belt or noodle. 

Unfortunately, I don't have anything like that here at work...  I'll just have to suck it up til I get home.  I have some Visine Allergy at home.

What really sucks is I have a meeting at church right after I get off of work!!!  Agh!!!

Ok - so here's Mila's answer on the muppet revolution
