Time... more time

It's been weird. It's like I want to do a bazillion things at the same time and I never manage to do them. 

Usually because I am tired. Or start on a different direction and by the time I realize it my initial project is forgotten. 

Example: this morning I started cleaning the office. I dug in a box I have lots of photos in. And while i was sorting them to finally get them in a smaller container, I found an old film. Like 14 years old. From a time when me and my best friend went on a Christmas fun evening, she came to pick me up from work, then we went to the Christmas Village downtown. We took a lot of photos. My best friend lives in Italy now but we chat online almost daily. So dropped were the photos, I jumped in the car and ran to Walgreens to get prints and a CD from the film. While I was there waiting for my prints to be done I got a flu shot (got one 3 months ago but it seems that, after the chemo, flu shot with me doesn't last more than 3 months and due to the surgeries I had, coughing is horrendous, percocet-like horrendous). Also, while still waiting, as I had gotten a "buy $15 value get $3 off" coupon that wasn't valid for the photos, I got some flower seeds and a humongous windchime that was on a 50% discount. Once I got home, I immediately went online and sent my bff the photos, then one she got offline I went ahead and put the windchimes out, then went in the garden and dug and planted some of those seeds, then found in the mail a denial for my CT scan that I'm supposed to have in March. Another story with this one, initially my oncologist had ordered a PET/CT. The insurance denied as they said I need 2 years between PET scans (last one was in August 2010) and they said 'only CT". Two days ago I got the approval for CT. Didn't really read anything beyond the "was approved". Today I got in the mail (it came as I was finishing my planting) another letter from the insurance, "your CT is denied". Ok, major confusion. I look for the reason, it says "you do not have a bone scan that needs to be done prior to the CT". Excuse me? I called my oncologist, the lady there said the insurance denied the CT without contrast but approved the CT WITH contrast. We were both like "wtf?!?"

Anyway, after that, I got a phone call about a spirit doll order, and as I had started a few yesterday I went ahead and finished one.

So, it's 4:42 pm. I am in the office now, the photos - that I had started "putting away" this morning are on the floor, in a pile.

Sigh. Can you say "chemobrain"?
