Had a phone call with my endocrinologist; she is unsure what's going on with my hashimoto so she told me to do another lab check at february -_-

Being told "we're not sure, try again later" with medical. That is the worst! Best of luck.

Little late but can't sleep from Tuesday. Just trying to stay up long enough to do some work call in 5 hours then maybe some sleep. Really don't want to do this technical call for a call manager.

I found myself wide awake at 4:45, and instead of trying to wrestle back sleep, I went to take a walk at the beach! Yay for motivation! As a treat, I'm having breakfast at a nice place nearby. It's still 8 am, and I don't have any work meetings until 10, so it should be a nice day.

Someone did not put away the bathtub stopper so the cat ran off with it.

The cat is going through a nervous phase. We're trying to make sure she knows she's safe. Hoping it's just temporary.

Very tired. Distressed about everything.
