And now, because I couldn't get any work done on Saturday (i needed files on my computer at work, so I couldn't log in from home), I'm getting pummeled today. sigh.
I really dislike weather/season changes because my skin goes buck wild. My eczema decided to have a party on me, and now I'm suffering big-time. Time to get my money's worth out of my health insurance and go visit the dermatologist! It's really weird how affected I am by anti-histamines, even just OTC ones like Benadryl. I took Benadryl on Saturday instead of my prescription stuff because the prescribed pills knock me out for literally 8-10 hours. So I take the Benadryl at like 1pm, and take a nap for 2 hours while I let the medicine do its work. I had to meet up at 5 to go to the Jars/Caedmon's Call concert (which, btw was way better than I expected), but come 8pm in the middle of the concert I still felt like I wanted to pass out. So, it's either I suffer, or I take medicine, get knocked out, and sleep. So suffering-away I am at work.
So I went in with very low expectations for Matrix Revolutions, and, well, hm. Actually, I was still a little disappointed. Without giving anything away, I just felt like all the questions I wanted answered, didn't get answered. And I thought the ending was anti-climatic. On the other hand, I also went into the Jars/Caedmon's Call concert with no expectations (I only went b/c someone else dropped out at the last second), and I really enjoyed it. I liked seeing Caedmon's in concert. I also ran into like 20 different people I knew... was not expecting that. But it seemed like everywhere I turned there was someone I knew. It was also funny when Jars would yell things like, "hello castro valley!" just because... uh most ppl there, I guarantee you, aren't from castro valley. And it's not a big city like, say San Francisco or San Jose. Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking castro valley or anything, it was just weird.
This weekend seemed like a big blur to me, mainly because of my eczema woes and needing to sleep Saturday & Sunday afternoons away. I was so out of it that I didn't even hear the thunders early Sunday morning that apparently everyone else in northern California heard. I'm the lighest sleeper you'll ever find, and I didn't hear a single thunder.
I need a vacation. Badly. And I'm not even forced to take PTO during company shutdown in December (I think by the end of the year I'll have 4 weeks of vacation stored up) because... yes, I one of the few who have to come in and work during the company shutdown days. Someone give me an excuse to take some days off from work! I also think I'm in real need for a personal retreat... I need to set aside time purposefully to recharge myself, to meditate on God's Word, and to pray. I'm getting really worn out and it's not even quite the end of the year yet.
