The Fox Foxing (again)…

I ran into some info today that made me grin in a way… I know I shouldn’t but it did. Let me go back to the days of ignorance and bliss in a few… I wish I could trust my gut more often, I used to though but these days I tend to neglect it when I need it most. Back in the days -it seems ages ago- I was seeing someone whilst at the same time my gut kept warning me in a variety of different ways. I remember the dream I had repeatedly during that period of my life, it’s so vivid still that it feels like it has transformed into an actual thing. And I guess in a way it has.

In the dream there was nothing but a traffic light that jumped from green to red, lasting only about 20 seconds. The traffic light would disappear again and another dream would continue. Each time when a regular dream was entered by the person I was seeing, it stopped and immediately the traffic light would appear for a few seconds and disappear again the moment it had turned red. At the time I thought it was odd and I wondered often why this was happening. One evening I decided to ask the person I was seeing if he could explain to me what it could mean or meant to him.

He said he didn’t know and I asked if I was being warned for something he was doing without me knowing of it but he said he couldn’t think of anything. About five months later I found out the truth and realised why I’d been having these dreams and what my subconscious was trying to tell me. By then he had moved in and I decided to confront him with the lies and deceit. I’d issued an ultimatum by promising myself I would give it another chance, wait a couple of months and let it rest. When those months were over I checked again only to find out about broken promises.

That evening I kicked him out and I have not looked back. Ever since that day there have been others and because there was a trail of issues in his past I assumed it would not be long before history would repeat itself. I found out I’ve been right all along which was what made me grin. I feel sorry for those involved but since one’s dealing with a sly fox it was to be expected and the grin was merely an expression of what I was thinking: good riddance!

New Year New Start

I don’t know how I’ve managed to get thru these last couple of weeks of 2014 but I guess I did. I’ve worked overtime till the very last day of the year and have been on standby as well. I was told that starting from January things would slow down a bit but two weeks ago -during a meeting with the client discussing the workload for the next couple of weeks- I noticed two new tools that need to be designed and developed, in the next three months. Guess you can see where this is heading (…).

It means I’ll be working on four different applications at the same time. I’m trying not to think too much about this and instead take it step by step but I can’t shake the feeling that overtime will become the standard again. I wanted to take two weeks off but I guess that has become wishful thinking considering the facts. On top of that my health is at its annual dip at the moment and has been for some time now. I’ve severe sinusitis and have been to the hospital a few weeks ago to see my pulmonologist.

I’ve been avoiding an op for at least ten years due to bad memories of excruciating pain and a really incapable doctor/surgeon. But the pulmonologist at the hospital told me he wanted me to see an otolaryngologist/ENT (I can’t even pronounce that word ;) ) because he suspects extreme growth of polyps in the cavities. I know he’s probably right because that’s what the ENT doc told me as well at the time. Back then he also said that I would probably need more surgery in the near future, which I happily ignored.

The pulmonologist prescribed me a med that is supposed to shrink the polyps within the next few weeks, but it isn’t available till the third week of January which is when I’m supposed to have had my next appointment already. The pulmonologist wanted to resolve the sinus problem first, then have a CT scan done and after the scan plan the surgery. I have no idea what is going to happen healthwise nor do I know what will happen at work and if I can have that surgery any time soon, hence the step by step modus.

I guess since it’s a new start any new year resolution I might have would be taking it slow whenever I can, starting today…
