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…
